Brad "emotional" at twins birth:
In case you were huddled under the duvet yesterday nursing a hangover – Angelina Jolie has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The little boy named Knox Leon after Brad's grandad Hall Knox Hillhouse and the little girl named Vivienne Marcheline after Angelina's mum were born prematurely. Knox weighed 5.03lbs and Vivienne weighed 5lbs, but are said to be doing well. Michael Sussmann, her doctor as the Lenval Hospital where she gave birth by C-section, said, "Mother and babies are doing well. Everything is marvellous." Mr Sussman even revealed that Brad and Ange "were talking" during the delivery. In a press conference outside the hospital he said, "It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy." And Brad even got in on the action, offering to cut umbilical cords. "He was my assistant!" Sussmann joked, adding, "He was perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional." It's not known yet how long it will be before the twins leave the hospital but already bids are coming on for first pictures...

Jordan wants to adopt
Jordan has once again spoken about her desire to adopt a child – after seeing a TV documentary about disabled orphans. Jordan, real name Katie Price, vowed to help after watching a film about cruelty and neglect in Bulgaria. Katie said, "We want to be able to help a child have a better life. The programme moved me to tears. So many babies who are born with disabilities find it hard to find adoptive parents – no one wants them. So Pete and I have been to see a lawyer about adopting a baby from abroad." Katie made the decision after watching BBC documentary Bulgaria's Abandoned Children, but if she does go ahead and adopt the process could take up to 18 months.
 
BB fans call for Zezi to be axed
OK, so we've all overslept and been late to work once in our lives, but we do think that if you work on a LIVE TV show, then this isn't the best idea. Angry fans are calling for BBLB's Zezi Ifore to be dumped from the E4 show after she failed to turn up to work yesterday. Dishy co-presenter George Lamb was forced to host BBLB on his own after Zezi failed to wake up in time to make it into work. A spokesperson for the show confirmed that Zezi had set the wrong time on her mobile phone alarm clock, but that she was very much "still part of the show". This latest upset has led to a flurry of complaints from disgruntled BB fans, who have left comments on a number of websites criticising the 23-year-old. One read, "Has there ever been a worse UK presenter?" Bit harsh. Let's not forget Kelly Brook on the Big Breakfast and Kate Lawler on RISE, people. Anyway, there will now be an emergency meeting over at Channel 4 to discuss the next step for Zezi, but what do you think?

Naomi: “I AM a good person”
Notorious temper tantrum-throwing supermodel Naomi Campbell has spoken out to defend herself, claiming that she is "a good person". The model insists that all the good work she does is ignored because of her troublesome personal life, saying, "I'm blessed to be able to do charitable work and good things but no one focuses on that because I don't throw it in people's faces." Interesting choice of phrase there, Naomi... Aaaanyway, the star was recently given 200 hours of community service following her "incident" at Heathrow Terminal 5, and she was also banned from appearing at Nelson Mandela's birthday concert. Naomi continued, "I'm not a bad person. When people say these negative things about me, I ignore them." She also went on to talk about her close friendship with Kate Moss, saying that the pair are "always there to support one another." Blimey. Could it be that Naomi has finally seen the light, or is it only a matter of time before something/someone else enrages her?
