Angelina Denies IVF Rumors

I do think if the Jolie-Pitt's had conceived via IVF they would talk about it. They're so open about things like that - and what's there to hide? I don't understand the stigma surrounding fertility treatments. Who really cares HOW you conceive?

Angelina Jolie has shot down reports she and Brad Pitt conceived their twins via in vitro fertilization.

The 'Tomb Raider' star -- who gave birth to twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline on July 12 -- insists she and Brad have never needed to resort to fertility treatment.

She tells Hello! magazine, "If they had been conceived through IVF we would have been happy to discuss it."

Meanwhile, Brad revealed Angelina is breast-feeding the two babies and has been attempting to feed the two at the same time.

He said, "We try to get them to eat simultaneously for the sake of time management, but it gets a little crowded at the bar."

The 44-year-old actor also said he was in awe of Angelina during the pregnancy and subsequent arrival of the twins via caesarean section.

He said, "I find the process absolutely heroic."

Pictures of Brad, Angelina and the twins were sold to Hello! for a whopping $15m, making them the most expensive baby pictures ever.

A sales assistant in WH Smiths in central London told the Daily Mail, "The issue has been selling really well. Every other person who comes in is buying it."

In America, People Magazine which did a joint deal with Hello! is also expected to see a huge boost in sales for the issue.

Brad and Angelina's first biological child, Shiloh Nouvel was born in Namibia in May 2006.

Pictures of her were sold to Hello! for $4million, which the couple donated to charity.

They have also adopted three children: six-year-old Maddox Chivan, from Cambodia; Zahara Marley, aged three, from Ethiopia; and four-year-old Pax Thien from Vietnam.

A magazine insider said, "This is one of the publishing sensations of the decade - Brad and Angelina are the dream couple of the glossy magazine world and we expect to triple our circulation because of the public's fascination and interest in the couple and their children."

The American rights to the pictures will go to People magazine, which also published the first images of their daughter Shiloh in 2006.

Meh, who cares if it was by needle or wang? Like there's a wrong way to make a baby. That's like saying there's a wrong way to make a sandwich. Even if it was IVF, I'm pretty sure they had enough sex to more than make up for it.
