First thing this morning, we wished Ms. Angelina Jolie a happy birthday.  Now, we think we know what Brad Pitt got her for her birthday.  Yesterday, the day before Jolie’s birthday, Brad dropped more than $50,000 on art in Switzerland.

Pitt was chauffeured in a BMW to Switzerland’s Art Basel fair, where he spent more than two hours snapping up goodies.

He bought two bronze chairs designed by Max Lamb at $25,000 a pop.

He also scored a foam and fiberglass “Family Lamp”.

Both are pictured above. 

Angelina Jolie turns 33 today! 

Jolie was born in L.A. to actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand. At 7, she made her big screen debut in Voight’s 1982 film Looking to Get Out before going on to model. After years of estrangement, she and Voight are speaking again; her mother died of cancer in 2007.

In 1999, Jolie won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as an asylum patient in Girl Interrupted. She is already generating Oscar buzz for her role in the Clint Eastwood drama Changeling (out this fall).

After failed marriages to Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton, she met Brad Pitt on the set of 2005’s Mr. And Mrs. Smith. Jolie recently told Vanity Fair she didn’t expect to fall for the actor, whose marriage to Jennifer Aniston had recently ended.

“I said I was absolutely going to marry somebody in another field, an aid worker or something…” she said. “Then I met Brad, everything I wasn’t looking for, but the best man, the best father I could possibly wish for.”

Jolie, currently pregnant with twins, will soon be the mother of six!

Just how much do you think the first exclusive photos of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s twin’s photos will go for?  Well, the bidding war is currently at $15 million.  FIFTEEN MILLION dollars (however, if they are smart, they will ask for euros) for the exclusive rights to the first photos of the twin babies that Angelina is due to have very soon.  Supposedly, OK! and PEOPLE magazines are the only ones participating in the bidding war. 

Do you think Brad and Angelina will donate all of that money, like they did with Shiloh’s baby pictures?  Maybe they will need to save a few million because they recently purchased that $70 million mega-mansion in France.

We’ll all know soon enough!

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt celebrates her 2nd birthday today. She was born May 27, 2006, in Namibia, Africa.

“Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born,” mom Angelina Jolie has said.

Following in her parents’ glamorous footsteps, Shiloh filmed a small spot in her dad’s, Brad Pitt’s, upcoming flick The Curious Case of Benjamin Button at just 10 months old.

Parents Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie just bought a huge estate in France for nearly $70 million.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have bought a $70 million chateau in the French Riviera to base their growing family.

The couple are said to have looked at around 100 properties before settling on the 35-bedroom estate.

The sprawling residence comes complete with it’s own vineyard, moat, lake and forest which they bought direct from the owner after spotting the property from the air by helicopter.

The pair hope to move in by the beginning of August as they are expecting twins on the 19th.

A source close to the deal said: ‘It’s a place called Chateau Miraval which is in a tiny village called Brignol in the Var, not far from Aix en Provence.

‘Just the driveway up to the Chateau is three miles long.

‘There’s a lake and a swimming pool and fountains and fields with ponies in and it’s surrounded by a huge forest so no-one will be able to take pictures of them or the kids.

‘They’re both thrilled as they’ve been hunting for a place on the Riviera for over a year and it’s exactly what they want.

‘Last year Brad and Angelina took a helicopter along the Riviera and they were literally landing in people’s gardens of houses that they liked and were running in to ask if their properties were for sale.

‘And they found this one the same way a few weeks ago, and told the owner to name his price and although it’s a huge sum of money they were happy to pay it as it’s just what they had in mind.

‘They’ll be moving in roughly three months and living there full- time.’

The magnificent cascading stone-walled terraces have been replanted with 13 different varieties of olives.

The estate is surrounded by water with twenty fountains, aquaducts, and a stream runs through hidden tunnels and into the moat and fills the lake.

The location of the chateau is perfect for Angelina who has chosen to give birth to her twins in France as a tribute to her French grandmother and mother.

It’s also proved an ideal situation since the family are planning to set up home there for some weeks after the birth.

Angelina Jolie hit the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival with baby daddy Brad Pitt.  Angelina was working it for her second film premiere at the film festival.  This time it was for her Clint Eastwood drama called The Exchange, formerly called The Changeling. Days earlier, the actress unveiled the animated comedy Kung Fu Panda, at the International Film Festival.

The actress — who said her character in the film reminded her of her late mother Marcheline Bertrand — is already winning rave reviews for her performance as a woman whose son is kidnapped.

Says a Variety critic: “As she did in A Mighty Heart Jolie plays a woman abruptly and agonizingly deprived of the person closest to her. But impressive as she may have been as the wife of Danny Pearl, her performance here hits home more directly due to the lack of affectation — no accent, frizzed hair or darkened complexion, and no attempt to consciously rein in emotion.”

By the way, notice the immense size of Angelina’s baby bump. She claims that she is due in late July. Some magazines have even reported her due date to be August 19. My ass! She will be popping out those twins well before then!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie probably needed more than one babysitter to keep an eye on all of their kids when they stepped out for a dinner party on Monday.

The expectant parents, who are in Cannes for the city’s famed film festival, left their kids at home for dinner with Angelina’s The Changeling director Clint Eastwood, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger and nearly 10 other guests.

Angelina — dressed in a long, black patterned dress — and Brad arrived at Restaurant Tetou in Golfe-Juan — just outside Cannes — at around 8:30 p.m. and the party broke up at around midnight.

Angelina Jolie was caught sunning herself this past weekend on the balcony of the French villa she’s been staying at with Brad Pitt.
