Brad and Angelina’s baby scan picture is up for sale on eBay - Jan 17, 2021
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s baby scan picture is up for sale on eBay. The three-month ultrasound image recently appeared on the internet auction site and there have already been over 50 bids for the unusual item. The highest bid currently stands at ?100 with seven days still to run on the auction. It is not believed the couple are planning to try and have the scan removed from the site and the seller is promising to give half of the money from the sale to a children’s charity in America.
Angelina announced last week that she was expecting Brad’s baby. It will be the couple’s first biological child. The ’Fight Club’ actor has already applied to be a legal guardian for her two adopted children - 4-year-old Maddox, and baby Zahara. It is the second time in six months that someone has tried to auction personal items relating to the A-list couple. In June last year an entrepreneur tried to sell a jar he claimed contained their breath. The seller claimed to have collected the air from ’a close proximity’ of the stars at the Los Angeles premiere of their film ’Mr & Mrs Smith’. The jar of breath was eventually snapped up for US$117.
Brad and Angelina are planning to call their unborn baby William - Jan 16, 2021
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly planning to call their unborn baby William if it’s a boy. The couple - who are expecting their first child together in May - are said to have decided to name the tot in Pitt’s family tradition. The heartthrob actor was originally named William Bradley Pitt after his own dad. A family friend is quoted in the News of the World newspaper as saying: "Brad’s parents, Bill and Jane, were worried the baby would be called something new-fangled. "But Brad’s an old-fashioned guy and wants to show his Pops how much he means to him."
Angelina - who already has two adopted children, four-year-old Maddox and ten-month-old Zahara - has already given the name her seal of approval. The friend added: "Angelina feels that such an all-American name is a true reflection of the rainbow family from all different backgrounds that she craves."
Angelina is expecting Brad’s baby - Jan 12, 2021
Angelina Jolie is expecting Brad Pitt’s baby, it has been confirmed. Jolie is said to have told a charity aid worker in the Dominican Republic, where she is filming ’The Good Shepherd’, "Yes, I’m pregnant". The couple’s spokespeople have since admitted the rumours are true, according to reports.
It is not yet known when Pitt and Jolie’s first biological child is due to be born. Last month, the smitten pair made the first steps towards becoming a family when Pitt filed papers to legally adopt Jolie’s adopted children - Maddox and Zahara. The move would see the tots’ surname changed to Jolie-Pitt. It was also rumoured, earlier this week, Pitt had called his ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, to tell her Jolie was pregnant with his child - before she found out in the media. A source told s Heat magazine: "Jen told Brad she wished him and Angie all the happiness in the world, and said she hoped the baby would be healthy and Angie’s pregnancy would go smoothly, too. But after she hung up she cried her eyes out."
Meanwhile, sources close to Jolie, say she has never been happier, adding: "This is a woman who values her relationships with her children more than anything. Now she is creating a family in the context of an adult relationship."

Her family moved to LA when Angelina was eleven and she soon began working on her acting career, enrolling in the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute where ahe appeared in several productions. Despite her abilities Angelina was teased during her time at Beverley Hills High School - far from being beautiful and popular she was skinny, with glasses and braces and wore second hand clothes. At 14 she dropped out of theatre classes, harbouring dreams of becoming a funeral director, and began cutting herself. Angelina began a rebellious period of her life, moving out of home and in with her boyfriend.
At around the same time she was taken on by Finesse Model Management and took jobs in the US and Europe, she also appeared in several music videos for the likes of Meat Loaf and Lenny Kravitz. Then, at 16, she returned to acting and rekindled her relationship with her father. She appeared in several of her brother’s student films before, in 1993 she was offered a role in sci-fi flick Cyborg 2. Several equally poor productions followed before Angelina landed a role in Hackers, which was a cult hit and threw the actress in the direction of Jonny Lee Miller, whom she would soon marry.
Little known films such as Foxfire and Mojave Moon followed but it was the Golden Globe winning George Wallace that got Angelina noticed and Pushing Tin, which co-starred Billy Bob Thornton and The Bone Collector helped her on her way to global stardom. However it was her part as messed up teenager Lisa Rowe in Girl, Interrupted which won her her place on the Hollywood walk of fame. The role won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress as well as several other accolades.
Action movies Gone In 60 Seconds and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider followed and made sure Angelina was admired the world over by men and women alike. Meanwhile her personal life became just as fascinating than her on screen performances. Having divorced Jonny Lee Miller she married Pushing Tin costar Billy Bob Thornton, famously they wore vials of blood around their neck, however in 2003 they also divorced despite having adopted a Cambodian orphan, Maddox. At the same time she admitted she had had a relationship with a female costar on the set of Foxfire. Meanwhile she continued with her now much publicised humanitarian work, as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN and her film career, appearing in Alexander and Taking Lies among others.
In 2005 Angelina took a leading role in Mr & Mrs Smith, opposite Brad Pitt. Although the movie itself was widely panned the burgeoning relationship between Angelina and Brad, who was at the time in the process of splitting from Jennifer Aniston, made sure it was a hit. The relationship was also a success, in January 2006 Angelina announced that she was pregnant, just months after adopting second child, Ethiopian Zahara, she gave birth to Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.
Angelina has confirmed that she is working on a screen adaptation of Beowulf, A Mighty Heart and Atlas Shrugged.
