Will Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie give birth next? Inside the US or in another country?

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt was born in Namibia. But there are conflicting reports as to where the couple's latest addition (rumored to be twins) will be delivered.

Some say France (CLICK HERE), in part because Brangelina will be able to build a race track (say what?). Meanwhile, others guess (CLICK HERE) Texas. (Apparently, Whoville is a wee bit too popular right now.)

Texas might make sense since that's where Brad is shooting a film for the next few months.

But Angie and Brad have spent a lot of time in France and are said to love the country.

Other than where the blessed new birthing event may take place, there is another looming question.

Why are Brad and Angelina globe-trotting, piloting, racing expensive vehicles and reproducing at warp speed? They've adopted three kids and have propagated two (if not three) more in such a short time. This is a couple with almost an frightening sense of parental urgency.

Is Angie, age 32, a walking, talking version of the popular motto Carpe Diem?

Life was certainly too short for Angie's mother Marcheline Bertrand who battled ovarian cancer for over seven years before she passed away on Jan 27, 2007. She was only 56.

In a June 2007 interview with Esquire interview, Jolie admitted that her mother's side of the family did not have longevity.

"There is no longevity on my mother's side of the family," she revealed. "My grandmother also died young so my mother always thought it could happen to her..."

Perhaps Angie feels equally time-challenged.

It should be noted that carrying the ovarian cancer gene does not necessarily mean a woman will develop the disease. But some research seems to indicate there could be greater risk, leading some cancer experts to suggest women with a family history should consider the gene test.

I thought they were shooting in Smithville, Texas not Smallsville.


I just don't understand why everyone wants to question how people run their family. I say it is their family. They make the decisions. I'm fine with that.

At the end of the day how many children and the reason for having it is a private matter
