When Stars Wear the Same Dress: Angie vs. Jen
No, not Aniston. Everyone just calm down.
Jennifer Garner covered her growing baby bump yesterday with the very same floral maxi Angelina used to conceal the growing place of the Golden Twins while in New Orleans saving someone this past March.
It's pretty risky to wear the same dress as Angie because, well, she's Angelina Jolie, greatest human to walk the planet (except for Bono). But Jennifer seems up to the challenge, so bring on the judgment!
Which pregnant star rocks the prairie floral the best?
Angelina Steps Into Tom Cruise's Butt-Kicking Shoes
Make that Edwina A. Salt.
The espionage thriller Edwin A. Salt, originally intended as a vehicle for Mission: Impossible hero Tom Cruise, is being rewritten for Angelina Jolie now that Cruise is no longer attached, Variety reports.
Jolie has not yet signed on to the pic, but she is reportedly close to a deal and changes are already under way in hopes that all will go according to plan. The Bone Collector helmer Philip Noyce will still direct, but the film, about a CIA agent who's accused of spying for the Russians, will get a new title.
Obviously.
Knox's New Nickname: Fort Knox
As we wait breathlessly for the $14 million Brangie babies, Vivienne and Knox, Gawker has a hot new rumor. Their snoops say People mag's special Monday issue includes roughly 30 pages of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie kiddie pics. Um, 30 pages? We don't even want to look at 30 pages of our own nieces and nephews.
But, hey, we understand People needs to get some mileage out of their exclusive. And even at that rate, they're still paying half-a-mil per page. Your mileage may vary.
A-List Secrets: What's (Really) With All the Twins?
Rebecca Romijn is the latest star to be pregnant with twins. Is there something in the water in Hollywood?
—Molly, Dayton, Ohio
The compounded pregnantitis, it be spreading. Brangelina, Julia Roberts and now Rebecca Romijn. Or perhaps you speak perhaps of Marcia Cross, who had her twins at age 44. No mystery on that last one. She has said she had in vitro fertilization before conceiving her girls. And some other celebumoms may have had help as well.
"There's a reasonably good chance that some of these women had twins because of in vitro fertilization," says physician Judy Albert of Reproductive Health Specialists in Pittsburgh.
Why that conclusion? Find out after the jump.

Brangelina Babes Ready for $14 Mil Unveiling
Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon are, at long last, ready for their closeups. Their outlandishly overpriced, highly anticipated, paparazzi-thwarting closeups.
As has been long expected, the deep pockets over at People magazine won the bidding war for the U.S. and Canadian rights to the twins' first photoshoot, with Hello! magazine snagging the international exclusive.
Though there's no official word on how much the publications shelled out to show the world Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's genetically blessed double act—or whether the newborns can out-cute big sis Shiloh's People debut—reports have placed the camera coup at $14 million.
For those keeping score at home, that's more than double the $6 million People shelled out for the exclusive for Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's twins, Max and Emme.
Angie's Dad Still Blabbing: What Do You Think?
Angeline Jolie's pop is at it again, blabbing to Fox & Friends about his daughter and her growing brood.
"You know, she wasn't the kind that played with dolls, and then all of the sudden she has all of these children," Jon Voight said Thursday on the Fox News Channel.
"She loves kids though," he added. "She's very playful. It's wonderful."
It's not like Voight's giving away any big secrets. He confirms the twins, Knox and Vivienne, are "healthy" and "doing well" and says Brad and Angie "are really happy and over the moon."
But given that he and his daughter have feuded over his loose-lipped ways before, do you think this is one grandfather who should just stop bragging? Let us know in the comments section.

Burning Q's: Get Angie's Nanny & Some A-List Ice
How do stars get fabulous jewelry and dresses for the awards shows? Do they have to beg for them, or do people come to them?
—Sarah, Toronto
People don't just "come to" stars. The designers and their publicists pay the stars. To wear their stuff. Tens of thousands of dollars. To wear a dress or a diamond necklace for a few hours. Like, Hilary Swank and Charlize Theron both reportedly earned $100,000 to wear diamonds from Chopard at the Golden Globes a few years ago.
Stars: They're just like us! Now, let's tackle more of your Burning Q's.
How old is Ali Lohan?

Sacre Bleu! French Fry Jolie-Pitts, Praise Depp
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's French neighbors are not saying merci to the couple bringing increased exposure to the environs. Mercy, maybe.
As local police investigate a scuffle between camouflaged paparazzi and Brangelina's security detail, E! News has learned that locals are getting fed up with all the fuss around the couple's countryside château.
Sources tell E! News that a main point of conflict between the privacy-seeking superstar couple and the residents of Brignoles is that the village only has a few police officers, whose primary civic duty, the neighbors say, should not be to help ward off paparazzi.

Paparazzi Given Le Boot at Chez Brangelina
Forget the Bastille, the latest thing to storm in France is Brangelina's château.
A pair of paparazzi determined to get snaps of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and, one guesses, new twins Knox and Vivienne, were taken into police custody Thursday afternoon after getting into an altercation with guards at the Jolie-Pitt's Miraval residence in southern France.
Proving just how far they'd go to get the exclusive pictures, the shutterbugs snuck onto the property in camouflage suits and, once found by two guards, got into a skirmish of Fight Club-like proportions.
That, however, is where the similarities between police and paparazzi accounts of the altercation end.
Brad Pitt Stewing Over Shutterbug Snaps
Brad Pitt's got a Fight Club sequel in the works. His new sparring partner: paparazzi.
The actor's attorney is threatening legal action against any media outlet that publishes photos snapped "surreptitiously" of Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their family, including new twins Knox and Vivienne, on the grounds of their French estate. Jolie and the newborns checked out of the hospital on Saturday, a week after the birth.

Brangelina Brood Checks Out
Brangelina has left the building.
E! News has confirmed that Angelina Jolie and her ever-burgeoning brood left the Lenval hospital in Nice, France, early Saturday, a week after giving birth to twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline.
"Angelina left at 4 a.m. in a blacked-out ambulance," a source tells E! News. "And she's now back at Château Miraval with Brad, the kids, her brother, James Haven, and Bill and Jane Pitt, Brad's mom and dad."

Angelina Staying Put for Now
The twins' arrival came earlier than expected. Angelina Jolie's departure won't be following suit.
A spokeswoman for Lenval hospital, where the Jolie-Pitt brood welcomed new additions Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, told E! News that the new mother remains in the maternity ward at the hospital and will not, per the latest round of speculation, be checking out today.
"After a C-section, the normal stay for a mother in the Lenval hospital is between eight and 10 days," Nadine Bauer said.
When asked directly if Jolie was due for discharge later today, Bauer said, "No."
