Ah, there's nothing like coming on a Saturday night and to be treated to a CNN Breaking News alert that Angelina Jolie had given birth to her child with Brad Pitt. (We'll wonder why no one called or text messaged us later.) Baby daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt was born in Namibia, and already, there's speculation about what Shiloh means ("personal appellation for Christ", "his gift" or "he who was sent", the Civil War town). Whatever - it's no Moxie Crimefighter or Pilot Inspektor. People.com has it's Baby Shiloh Arrives! site up and ready, although it's just packages of previous Angelina-n-Brad -n-Maddox -n-Zahara photos - which Gothamist cannot get enough of, we hate to admit. The next waiting game: To see which tabloid - and how much - was paid for the baby pictures - remember when New York magazine sorta punked people with their cover story about Brangelina baby pictures (just the bidding war)?
The United Nations High Commisioner for Refugees is Angelina's pet cause; here's her UNHCR ambassador site.
