The Palace Of Versailles Only Slightly More Ostentatious Than The Chosen Two's Nursery
Posted by Molly Friedman at 6:05 AM on June 10, 2008
Just in case you haven't already sunk into a envy-induced stupor reading story after story on how much cash Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are spending on the Chosen Two, the NY Daily News chimes in today to ensure you finally succumb to full-fledged depression. On top of the reported $20 million the pair is spending on French villas, armed cars, and getaway helicopters, not to mention Brad's uber-modern shopping spree on oddly shaped furnishings for said villas, the king and queen of Wombwatch Central are finally getting around to the nursery. And this is not just any other nursery — need we remind you, this haven will serve to protect the most important little girls ever born. And from the sound of it, Brangelina are well aware of this. The breakdown, including how much more dough these brats-to be are costing the pair via newborn necessities like chandeliers and cashmere toys, after the jump.
The News does not supply any details regarding the grandiosity of what lies inside Brangelina's temporary French compound (aka Base Camp 1 for the twins' delivery). But after reading about the following reported items Brad and Angelina have hand-picked for their LA compound, we're glad that information remains sealed. Among the outrageously ornate girly pieces: two pink crystal chandeliers, bassinets made out of organza to protect their soon-to-be-enormous heads, cribs said to be "Versailles-style," perhaps to trick these chickadees into thinking they're still on the Riviera, and matching armoires worth $4,500 each. Speaking of thousands of dollars, the room's decorating costs are said to total $140,000. Doesn't sound like much? Just take into consideration the doctors' fees these jewels will cost Brangelina once face-scratching Zahara gets a look at them. We can only hope that, rather than turning out to be outrageously spoiled self-important monsters, they turn out the way Fitzgerald said every girl ought to turn into: beautiful little fools.

@bess marvin, girl detective: Petit Trésor . The store markets itself by making announcements about what celebrities purchase there.

Are we officially calling them The Chosen Two, or should that be, The Chosen Deux?
@bess marvin, girl detective: publicists, sweet publicists.

favorite place to visit is the hall of mirrors at Versailles, which sucked me into reading yet another about bad pits and that crazy woman, but was rewarded after all with link to fabulous scott fitzgerald page with lovely lines from gatsby! how sweet!

@Juancho: but wouldn't that make people hate them more?
@BeAgrestic: you'd think that would cause some to stop shopping there.

I stopped reading when the unborn babies were called brats. I come to Defamer for the snark, but I thought it was an unfair remark made about unborn people. I mean, who actually goes by definition #2 in Merriam-Webster?
1 a: child; specifically : an ill-mannered annoying child b: an ill-mannered immature person; also : the child of a person whose career is in a specified and typically unusual field
2: the child of a career military person

Wait, so they are having two more girls? Just what L.A. needs.... more crazy.....because nothing healthy can come out of that womb.
As for all this spending, it's their money of course, but I refuse to take them seriously about the evils of poverty when all a child needs is love, food, and a clean diaper, and yet they go overboard like this.
It just shows what a bunch of assholes they truly are. Apprently they have learned NOTHING during their photo-ops about mind bending suffering among all the filth, flies and desperation.

First: That article is all bullshit.
Second: I love them both.
Third: I want to be adopted by them so Angie can breast feed me while we're taking off from the helipad on our way to Manila to buy coconuts and brie.

I'm sorry, I think you've misunderstood - these are the furnishings for Clay Aiken's baby's nursery, not the Chosen Two.
