Meanwhile, on the other side of the baby bump, Angelina Jolie is reportedly having difficulty carrying her fraternal (boy and girl) twins.

A source close to Jolie and partner, Brad Pitt, says the couple recently confirmed what we already reported…that they're having twins, just like J-Lo did. Priscilla Presley is also expecting fraternal twins. 

A pal of Brangelina tells In Touch magazine, "They'll be having a boy and a girl. Because Angelina took fertility treatments to help her ovulate, her babies are fraternal. They're ecstatic. She can't wait."

The small-framed actress is reportedly having a hard time carrying around the extra weight. According to an insider, "she's out of breath a lot but she loves every second of it."

Angelina Jolie doesn't let a little thing like pregnancy cause her to skip a beat. The globe-trotting activist showed off her daredevil side when she took to the skies with son Maddox, 6, in Smithville, Texas yesterday.

Jolie, 32, piloted the private plane herself, having earned her pilot's licence four years ago.

"If I could actually fly a plane by the time he's 4, I'll be like Superman to [Maddox]," she said at the time.

Jolie is said to be about six months pregnant. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that pregnant women not fly after their 36th week of pregnancy.

And Brangelina has reportedly set sights on a $20m, 850-year-old French mansion, as they plan for the baby's birth. The Mighty Heart actress has had ‘long conversations’ with doctors at the American Hospital of Paris about delivering her baby there, according to reports.

Expectant-mother-of-twins, Angelina Jolie, has been hit by some crazy pregnancy cravings, it's being reported.

Showbizspy says Ange has been gorging on fatty snacks including burgers, fries, ice cream and milkshakes from a fast-food chain. That's not so crazy.  But "she has In-N-Out French fries dipped in milkshake and hot sauce," says a source. "Gross – but she is pregnant!"

Ange and Brad Pitt are parents to daughter Shiloh, 20 months, and adopted children Maddox, 6, Pax Thien, 4, and Zahara, 3. The couple reportedly plan to marry soon.

Angelina Jolie is all of six months pregnant, according to reports, and there's only ONE bun in her oven!

It's being reported that the 32-year-old actress is expecting a baby girl. She is said to be planning to deliver the baby in France, homeland of her late mom, Marcheline Bertrand.

A source says: “Angelina is proud of her French roots and wants her latest addition to be born and raised there.”

Angelina Jolie finally decided to put an end to the speculation about her pregnancy.

Giving credence to the rumor about twins/multiples, Jolie showed off a considerably rounded belly in a figure-hugging black dress, as she and her other half, Brad Pitt, attended the Film Independent's Spirit Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday.

A source close to the couple told the magazine that Pitt and Jolie are "thrilled to be adding to their brood."

"They are very, very happy," the source says.

As they await their gestating twins, celeb baby boomers Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are celebrating the official adoption of their son Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt, 4.

The adoption was approved on Wednesday by a judge in Los Angeles' County Children's Court in Monterey Park, nearly a year after he was welcomed into the Brangelina family.

Pax (far right) was rescued from an orphanage in Vietnam in March 2007. Angelina said of him at the time: "You can imagine what courage it takes to be in all new surroundings, with new people and a new language. Pax is very strong."

Angelina is already well on her way to achieving the "rainbow family" she's declared she wants. The "A Mighty Heart" star says she wants "children of different religions and cultures from different countries."

"I believe I'm meant to find my children in the world somewhere and not necessarily have them genetically. I like to think with every adoption I'm saving another child from an orphanage," she maintained.

The philanthropic pair also adopted six-year-old Maddox and three-year-old Zahara, and birthed 21-month-old daughter Shiloh.

The other celeb expecting twins, Angelina Jolie, is definitely eating for three.

A friend of the actress tells OK! magazine: "She's been eating onion rings with mustard and a box of chocolates in the same sitting! She loves these bars that are dark chocolate and cinnamon mixed with Mexican chiles for an added kick." *ughhh*

Angelina has also been scarfing down cupcakes made by son Maddox, 6, and daughter Zahara, 3.

The pal adds that Brad has been very supportive and has stepped up cooking and babysitting duties. 

[OK!]

We hear Brad and Angie have hopped on board the ever-popular baby train again, and booked two extra seats!

Reports are swirling around that Brangelina is expecting twins. Angelina's publicist has not confirmed the rumor, which began when the 'Beowulf' actress showed up at the Critics' Choice awards earlier this month looking rounder and rosier than usual. The rumors picked up steam when she steered clear of alcohol and stuck to mineral water at the ceremony, while Brad drank beer and others at the table sipped champagne.

Star magazine reports that Brangelina got the wonderful news earlier this week and the couple is said to be "absolutely ecstatic." They reportedly cancelled a trip to Europe when they found out.

Angelina, 32, gave birth to the couple's daughter Shiloh in May 2006 in Namibia. The star couple also has three adopted children - six-year-old Cambodian son Maddox, four-year-old Vietnamese son Pax and three-year-old Ethiopian daughter Zahara.

As we posted in an earlier blog, Angelina was so intent on having another baby that she intended to schedule work around her fertility cycle.

Angelina Jolie means to get pregnant on her own timetable.

Rumors are rife that the actress is already pregnant, but we doubt it. Hubby Brad Pitt's BFF, George Clooney, knows nothing about a pregnancy. Of course, he could be sworn to secrecy, but we still think she isn't, yet.

Reports have emerged that Jolie is so determined to conceive baby #2 that she's been scheduling press tours around her fertility cycle.

A source claims that the actress told the studio she won't be available some dates in June, when she is supposed to promote her new movie, Wanted. She's hoping to be pregnant by the time the film is released.
