Just Rolling Out The Chosen Two's Rouge Carpet Will Cost Brangelina $20 Million Dollars
Posted by Molly Friedman at 6:00 AM on May 24, 2008
In case you hadn't heard, Europe is expensive. Coffee costs five bucks, the dollar is like a penny, and it takes a lot of money to look as cheap as Victoria Beckham. And apparently, having a kid over there will set you back about $10 million. That is, if you're Angelina Jolie and you're giving birth to the world's most important children, The Chosen Two. According to Life & Style, Brad and Angie are set to push out their newest soccer team members in France, where they'll spend up to $20 million dollars on "birthing costs," including every new mom's standard requirements like helicopters, villas on the Riviera, and a fleet of nine cars. The full breakdown on just how expensive it is to have a kid when you're Brangelina, after the jump.
As soon as Jolie's lavender-scented water breaks, Brad will reportedly call in a helicopter to await the twins' magical arrival, and be ready at a moment's notice to swoop down and usurp the brood out of the hospital and away from the paparazzi. Which will cost approximately $332,000. $3.3 million will go towards the expansive house on the Mediterranean where the Chosen Two will take their first steps. And as for those nine cars, the mag says they'll cost the pair $100,000. Including all the "security" and "medical costs" required for the impending birth, the Jolie-Pitts are looking at a bill nearing $20 million. As a source explains, "Money is no object when it comes to the kids....They can drop thousands of dollars on them in a day,...They'd do anything for them." Yes, you see, any parents who do not spend millions of dollars just to push out a couple of newborns simply don't care enough. Thank you once again Angelina Jolie, for making the rest of us feel utterly inferior to you as often as possible.

NOT PRIVY TO THE INNER SANCTUM KNOWN AS BRANGELINA, I can only guess that the song on perpetual loop in their selfabsorbed minds is, "We Are The Word." This insight comes to mind as news outlets report that the expecting Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have, "after months of house-hunting...have bought a chateau in the south of France and plan to make it their family home." Wasn't it just a few months ago that world's most noble citizens had enrolled their eldest Maddox in a French school in New York? The poor boy lasted a month before he was pulled out and shipped back to La La Land. And wasn't it shortly before that when the couple bought a $3.5 million French Quarter mansion and told US magazine, "We love it there. The kids are going to go to school there. We're really looking forward to it.” And of course all this happened in between and around trips to Chicago and Alberta, Canada and Prague. These poor kids are so jostled around, but you can't feel bad for Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh and Pax. Because I can just hear their cute little voices singing in harmony, "We are the world, we are the children..."
Avoir Brangelina. Here's hoping that your kids really find out what home means in France. CrabbyGolightly.com/Brangelina.html

Thanks. Overall, I don't hate them, I do have better things to do with my life, it's when they are so bleeping sanctimonious about how they are saving the world that gets on my nerves.
You know, in my small way, I help out too, I put in an extra item or two of food in my shopping cart each week that fills out a box of food items that I take down to the local shelter.
But it's when they get high and mighty about how much better they are than the rest of us that I start to see red.
When they had Shiloh in Africa, I understood, it was total pandemonium. Why? Don't ask me. But to again pop your kids in another country when both of them are supposed to be red blooded Americans, is really starting to smack of elitism - "our genes are too good for the good ole USA".
Fuckers!!!!!

Don't these 2 reside in the vanguard of Hollywood elitists who often tell me how I'm killing the planet with my truck. By my math 9 cars and a chopper means the twins will have a carbon footprint larger than your average Monsters of Rock tour before they even breach that hallowed womb.
And how do their nine vehicles only total $100,000? No way their pampered hinders would dare sit in a car priced so low, unless they have the staff driving Yugos.

Message to Decebal: (1) All that envy, anger and bitterness are bad for your health. (2) Don't believe all "the fuzzy math" that's quoted from the tabloids. Those numbers are highly inflated. Brangelina isn't paying rent for the villa, and the only reason they need helicopters and limos is to try to escape from the constant hounding by the paparazzi. (3) There's no indication that their children are either spoiled or stupid. Children aren't spoiled by love and attention from their parents.

If she happened to go into labor while working in another country it would be one thing, but to travel to another country (even countries with inferior medicine) to have your children is rather odd at the very least.
I wonder how much their co-payment is?

@hummingpenguin Also, no poodles: ask Jen.
Honestly, I understand these two are pretty likable human beings but when you hear something as Nouveau Riche as this it makes you think about joining Team Maniston for a moment. I mean, for the money they're paying for one ride, they could buy a really nice helicopter.

$20 million for two brats, when I sweat bullets about not paying my rent because of the upcoming actor's strike?
No matter how much good she pretends to do, (and in my humble opinion SHE DOESN'T) it totally disolves in the face of such bullshit as this. Imagine how much that $20 million could help children who really need it, imagine all the orphanages that would produce well fed and educated kids that would actually contribute to their communities as adults.
As opposed to the freaking spoiled brats she picked like puppies at a dog pound, who at 16 will do body shots of Suri or Apple. Brain surgeons these kids will not be.
And what the fuck is wrong with having kids in the USA? When has that become shameful? Because someone should tell our neighbors to the south to stop jumping the fence and birth their kids here for that brass ring called a U.S. Citizenship.

Am I allowed to be sick of these two, yet? When does the backlash start?

@TurdBlossom: They're individually a Chosen One apiece so, technically it should be the Chosen 4.Just so you know.

First, you cannot use usurp in that way. (Did you go to a state school?) Second, one should feel inferior to Brangelina despite this information.

@misterdirk: Brad Pitt founded Plan B Entertainment with that other Brad guy and Jennifer whatshername. Brad either owns half or the whole thing now. They snapped up The Time Traveler's Wife before it was in print, much to my chagrin.

Between the Choosen One and the immenient arrival of the Choosen Two, shouldn't we start referring to them as the Choosen Three?

Paul Allen gave them Villa Maryland for free. PS: neither can open a movie and they don't have 20 bones laying around.

I think she's having the children in that sack at that moment... and laughing to herself that she's doing it all under the paparazzi's nose. Brad doesn't appear to be entirely comfortable with her decision, though.

Why do they have to have their children in such far-off places? At least this time, she won't be bogarting the only hospital in the freaking country. Good work, Brangiepoo.
