Lions to protect pregnant Jolie's privacy: paper
Mon Apr 10, 2006 2:29 PM ET


WINDHOEK (Reuters) - Pregnant Hollywood siren Angelina Jolie and boyfriend Brad Pitt have taken refuge in a remote Namibian game lodge where wild lions will help protect them from the media, a Namibian newspaper said on Monday.

The celebrity couple and their two adopted children Maddox and Zahara arrived in the southern African country last week, fuelling media speculation the Oscar-winning actress plans to give birth in Namibia away from the spotlight.

Namibian Afrikaans daily newspaper Die Republikein said the pair had moved from a luxury beach resort in the harbor town of Walvisbay to a lodge in the Etosha National Game Park in northern Namibia, where lions are a top tourist draw and would help deter intruders trying to photograph the couple.

U.S. tabloids say Jolie and Pitt's baby is due on May 18. The media had speculated that Jolie would give birth in France as a tribute to her French mother, who is dying of cancer.

someone goes and does something original for a change...

 

[model_mom]

and then what??? Are they going to adopt them too?

 

[adorefaith]

the lions are a tourist attraction.....so they'll keep the media away but will be surrounded by tourists trying to take angelina's photo instead?.....

but really.....i do hope angelina is able to give birth with a bit of peace

agreed, i think its a great idea, very primitive, very angelina..

 

[Vans]

Lions!....oh my.

I never knew Angelina's mother was dying of cancer. All the best to her family.

Now Angelina is just a regular Cleopatra,shes so rediculous!!!!!!
what if one of the lions eats Brad ,Ang or the baby.
This couple is by far the most pretentious EVAH!!!!!!
-I feel bad for her situation with her mother but Angie has completely lost it.
I feel bad for our world of worshippers at the throne of Angelina.

LOL what a great rumor (it's refreshing and has nothing to do with paris hilton). Hope the baby+mother have a safe delivery.

I heard this radio dj this morning saying that Angelina was actually out in Africa to hunt children and adopt them. I laughed my *** off!

 

[fourboltmain]

I always thought it would be cool to have pet lions. Until I realized I'd have to kill them before they got too big and beat me to the punch.

 

[~Blythe~]

What are they doing hanging out in the jungle pretending to be some sort of Tarzan and Jane? If my mother was dying, I would prolly be spending as much time with her as possible...

 

[pasfoti]

Seriously, if they want privacy...the best way to have it is to stay put at home. Do they really think flying around can deter paparazzi?

That lion thing is so

 

[valerique]

Now Angelina is just a regular Cleopatra,shes so rediculous!!!!!!

need more worshippers?

 

[VickyInStyle]

Haha what a genius idea, if they are getting flesh eating carnivores to protect thier newborn defenceless child.
Its probable not true but if it is they mustve been slapped by the stupid stick.

 

[snowqueen]

Hey theres one thing having the baby away from media an other in africa out off the way ... i mean what if something goes wrong .. im guessing the nearest hospital and are the drs going t be like ?? will they even speak any english... seriously if angelina is going to have the baby there she needs to rethink it ... surely its bad for the baby..

Also i thort you couldnt fly that late into pregnacy something to do with airpressure ?? ok maybe not lol

 

[oanadobre]

Could somebody suggest a safari trip to Paris Hilton?

 

[snowqueen]

^^ oh dear god no she probally bring home a zoo or something to keep as pets ... and kidnap anything handbag sized and drag the poor thing aorund after her for a few weeks or so ... before she gets bored

 

[arlekindearrabal]

^ at oana's comment

i'm sure angelina and brad have taken all the necessary precautions... at least, i would assume that

 

[Little Tiny]

Ithink this is true....it's been reported in the news and is on the Drudge Report site.
I agree that Angie needs to have the baby in L.A[at home]near her mother,if her mom is really sick she should be spending time around her and make sure her kids have time with her.We never know how long we get to have our parents.
and all this running around blaming the photographers and media-they arent the only celebs around-get over yourselves.
