From ABC News:

Jolie’s obstetrician, Dr. Michel Sussmann, said the 44-year-old Pitt was at Jolie’s side during the delivery, looking on as the doctor performed a Caesarean section to deliver Knox, weighing in at slightly over 5 pounds, and Vivienne, who weighed 5 pounds.

“He was my assistant,” Sussmann joked.

“He was very happy. … The emotion was very strong for him,” Sussmann told reporters on the hospital steps. “I felt the emotion of both the mother and the father. Angelina Jolie was speaking, was laughing with her husband. They were happy.”

“The mother, the babies, the father are doing marvelously well,” he said.

Sussmann said the Caesarean was moved forward from its originally planned date “for medical reasons” so the babies could be born “in the best conditions.” The doctor did not elaborate.

Brangelina deliver twins

Apparently Diesel’s girlfriend, Paloma Jimenez gave birth on April 2, but the public has remained largely unaware. This is probably because he starred in the movie “The Pacifier”, a film which a total of 6 people saw. After this fine thespian craftsmanship, he became largely dead to the world. Joking aside, I do respect his choice to keep it on the quiet side. Too many celebrities turn their personal and family lives into circus events.

Congratulations to the new parents!

Further, the court granted a restraining order against Britney’s manager Sam Lufti and gave Jamie permission to change the locks on her estate and remove anyone who is there. According to the Associated Press:

It was unclear whether the court gave her father the power to make medical decisions on Spears’ behalf; even if that was granted, the role can be limited.

Conservators can consult with doctors on medication options, but the patient can refuse. Only in emergencies can someone be forcefully treated. Otherwise, a court hearing must be scheduled to hammer out the issue.

“Being a conservator does not give them the power to force medication,” said Nancy Kincaid, a spokeswoman with the California Department of Mental Health.

The court also issued a restraining order against Lutfi, Spears’ sometime manager and friend, and gave her father permission to change the locks on her estate and remove anyone who is there.

Adding fuel to the fire, Jon Voight, Jolie’s dad said,

‘It’s wonderful news that she’s having another child, if that’s true,’ he tells New York Observer.

‘I can’t count on anything the press says about her because there is so much said but she has certainly captured the imagination of the press.’

Apparently they don’t talk every night. If the rumors are in fact true, congratulations and best of luck to both of you!

Jolie, Pitt to have another child

A source told America’s Star magazine: “After several weeks of personal soul searching and talks and discussions with her mom, Jamie Lynn reluctantly agreed that giving up the baby is the right thing to do.

“Lynne says Jamie doesn’t understand the lifelong consequences of having a baby. She wants Jamie Lynn to continue her show business career after the baby is born and Jamie Lynn also realises she wants to enjoy her teenage years without the responsibilities of caring for a baby.

“Jamie Lynn will be back at work and trying to remind people of her talent and not that she is an unwed teenage mother.”

Fantastic. Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that sixteen years from now we may be revisiting this saga, but for a new generation? Just a blank slate for the parents who molded Britney and Jamie Lynn in the first place.
