Angelina To Give Birth In Africa

There is something to be said for those in the entertainment industry who try to give back to both their fans and to those who need help. And if there is one entertainment star who has always tried to give the most to others, it is Angelina Jolie. The latest thing the star has done for the third world was declare that she will give birth in Naibia, an African country located in the south. The star Brangelina?s stay in Namibia has sent interest in the African country through the roof, the country?s US ambassador has revealed.

"The Namibian embassy in Washington DC has been inundated with calls from the US media and individuals," since it was announced Hollywood hottie Angelina Jolie would give birth to Brad Pitt?s first child in the country, Hopelong Ipinge says. If Angelina gives birth in Namibia, she would have done for our tourism sector what our tourism board budget cannot do in a year,? he added.

"Never before have we had so much publicity. Angelina Jolie is not only a movie star, she is also the U.N. Goodwill Ambassador and this is the combination which makes her the draw card," he said. It would be an honour for Namibia to become the birthplace of the Pitts` first biological child," Iipinge said, the couple probably chose the remote country knowing it could offer them the privacy they craved. Eight months pregnant Angelina is staying in the south African country with Brad and their two adopted children until she gives birth.
