(Nov. 18) — Brad Pitt’s visit to ‘Oprah’ makes the Brangelina clan sound like a perfectly normal - if absurdly attractive - family. Explaining that car trips to the mall are an impossibility with their large brood, he says, “It’s like a half-an-hour just to get everyone buckled in and make sure they’ve got their snacks, and Z.Z. [Zahara, 3] has got a blanket and Shiloh’s got her silky.”

Following in the footsteps of their big sister Shiloh and many other celebrity babies, Vivienne Marchline and Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt make their public debut on the cover of PEOPLE. The magazine reportedly paid $14 million for the shots of the Vivienne and Knox.

The $14 million paid for Knox and Vivienne is more than triple what Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s first photo shoot earned from PEOPLE, which was rumored to be around $4 million.

Dr. Michel Sussmann, Angelina Jolie’s obstetrician at the Lenval Hospital in Nice, delivered twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline on Saturday. Sussman said the entire Pitt-Jolie clan “are doing marvelously well.” He also said the date of the births had been moved up to take advantage of “the best conditions,” but didn’t go into further details.

After an evening of conflicting reports — twin girls, a boy and a girl, scheduled for Tuesday, nothing’s going on — once official word came, it didn’t take long for a television crew to set up outside of the Lenval Hospital.

Nurses are seen at the Lenval Hospital. “There’s no urgency. It’s been planned for a long time,” said Nadine Bauer, a hospital spokeswoman about Jolie checking in. “She’s very well. Everything is fine.”

There was a bit of scandal surrounding the birth of the twins. On May 30, ‘Entertainment Tonight’ reported that Jolie, here with Brad Pitt on May 20 at the Cannes Film Festival, had already given birth but reps for both stars quickly denied it. However, ‘ET’ continued to stand by its story.

“Angie’s militant about it. She’s right on top of it. Thank God, because I’m always forgetting something.”

Proving that kids are kids no matter who their superstar parents might be, Pitt revealed his daughter Shiloh’s predictably kooky 2 1/2-year-old behavior. “She only wants to be called John. John or Peter. So it’s a Peter Pan thing. So we’ve got to call her John. ‘Shi, do you want …’ – ‘John. I’m John.’ And then I’ll say, ‘John, would you like some orange juice?’ And she goes, ‘No!’ So, you know, it’s just that kind of stuff that’s cute to parents, and it’s probably really obnoxious to other people.”

Like all parents, Pitt is his family’s biggest fan. “They’re the funniest people I’ve ever met. It’s a great mirror for yourself. It really tells you a lot about yourself, who you are and how you react to things. They make me better. They make me a better person.”
