It’s easy to forget that TRL was more than a show where tweens would make their parents drag them to Times Square on a pilgrimage to run their vocals ragged, screaming for their favorite stars. TRL was a defining show for MTV, popular music and kids of a certain generation. It’s also easy to forget the caliber of celebrities that appeared on the show, which ran from 1998-2008. Madonna, Tom Cruise, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, hell, even Angelina Jolie, they all appeared on the show often. In honor of the new VH1 Rock Doc The TRL Decade, which airs January 29, we’d like to take a look back at the VJ’s who made the show what it was, and the celebrities that came down to 1515 Broadway to hang with them. (We invite you to take a closer look at the photo on the upper left in our gallery — yes, that is indeed Destiny’s Child, Eve, 3LW, and Dream hanging with Carson Daly.) And of course, check out the documentary when it airs on Sunday January 29 at 9:30 pm ET/PT.

Sorry, regular peeps. There is absolutely no chance you’ll be considered for the role of god-father to the new golden gods, Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt. Super famous kids need super famous godparents, and Bono‘s getting the job, soley for the reason that it’s pretty f*cking cool to get money on your birthday every year from the dude who sings “With Or Without You.” Also, Brad and Angie are star f*ckers. Need examples?
1. A source says: “They have been friends for years. Brad is a massive U2 fan and told Bono how much he admired him when they were introduced at a party a few years back.”
2. The same source reveals: “Angelina is inspired by Bono’s humanitarian work and gets on with his wife Ali Hewson. Ali’s given Angelina some clothes from her ethical clothing range Edun.”

The queen of good deeds and all things perfect, Angelina Jolie, gave birth to twins (one boy, one girl) this past Saturday night at the Lenval hospital in Southern France. The actress, who popped ‘em out via C-section, was of course, “speaking and laughing” during the birth. She probably recited the magna carta and listed facts about every world leader as her twins were lifted from her body, surrounded by weeping angels and rose petals. The kids both clocked in at around 5 pounds, and are named Vivienne and Knox (hmmm, MaddoX, PaX – see a trend?). We already know the Jolie-Pitts can produce beautiful girl babies (see Shiloh), and now we have our chance to finally see what the son of Brad Pitt will look like. Our guess: f*cking hot. [Us]
French mag Closer is reporting that Angie went into labor with her twins last night and gave birth to the latest perfect Jolie-Pitts this morning. Finally someone has arrived to knock Shiloh off her cutest kid ever throne. Good riddance!
We’ll keep an eye out for further reports, and will be sure to watch if we notice Jennifer Aniston binge drinking at bars while looking depressed. Until then – congrats to the Wanted star and her family if it’s true. [JustJared]
Update! Angelina IS at the hospital, but she’s not given birth. She’s currently under observation and will remain at the hospital until she gives birth, which should happen in the next couple of days. Babies!

Rich Cohen’s Angelina Jolie profile (the cover story of the July issue of Vanity Fair) is one big shaming of entertainment journalists and socially conscious parents everywhere. Seriously, everyone in those respective fields needs to quit now because you will never a) write a celebrity profile as gorgeous and insightful and b) raise children as culturally literate as the Jolie-Pitts. To the latter point, Angelina explains that adopting kids from all over the world (three different continents…so far!) was “absolutely intentional”:
“When I was growing up I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn’t have parents. It’s not a humanitarian thing, because I don’t see it as a sacrifice. It’s a gift. We’re all lucky to have each other.
“I look at Shiloh—because, obviously, physically, she is the one that looks like Brad and I when we were little—and say, ‘If these were our brothers and sisters, how much would we have known by the time we were six that it took into our 30s and 40s to figure out?’ I suppose I’m giving them the childhood I always wished I had.”
And not only that, her freaking stable of nannies resembles a mini-U.N.:

It may be time to add two shades of Creamy French Blanc to the Brangelina Family Crayon Box. OK! Magazine is reporting rumors that Angelina Jolie has given birth to twins in France, which is her mother’s native country. The couple has four children in addition to the twins, including Maddox Chivan (adopted in Cambodia), Zahara Marley (adopted in Ethiopia), Shiloh Nouvel (biological daughter), and Pax Thien (adopted in Vietnam). According to Angelina, the couple may also open up their home to foster children in the future. So hopefully that crayon box will become a diverse, beautiful, full pack of 64 children!
Dlisted reports that the names of the twins are Isla Marcheline Jolie-Pitt and Amelie Jane Jolie-Pitt, but provides no source.

Get ready to laugh – Jenna Jameson has made the most ridiculous claim ever, stating “I’m following in Angelina‘s footsteps!” Now, the washed up, bone-thin porn star is talking about her desire to have a billion kids while not marrying her partner, but who is she kidding? She’ll NEVER really be like our Saint Angelina. Sure she has many things in common with the pregnant star, among them:
- bony arms
- crazy eyes
- ridiculous tattoos
- past drug use
- lesbian tendencies
But what about that whole saving the world thing that Angie so gracefully champions? Surely you could argue that many people have been saved by Jenna’s skills on film, but we’re not buying it. She’ll have to do a little better than that – like maybe covering herself up, for starters (with some haute couture and body fat).
Time to ask your boss for August 19th off – that is, of course, if the President doesn’t declare the day a national holiday. Regardless, angels will surely come down from the heavens to be present on such a glorious day, flowers will spring up from the concrete, and animals will start speaking and flock to France so they can witness the birth of the Twingelinas. Angie (seen here earlier today in Cannes, France) is keeping the sex of her kiddies private but really, does it matter? We know the most important thing already – that they will be hot as sh*t.
Look out pretty little Shiloh, the world’s most beautiful babies are about to be born, and there are TWO of them ready to grab that title from your sticky baby hands.

In Touch has uncovered a bunch of erotic pics of Angelina Jolie, snapped when the super-mom and Oscar-winner was only 16-years old. They’re quite revealing but she keeps her naughty bits covered – which is more than we can say for the young Hollywood tarts of today. And while the photos are surely fun to gawk at, they’re hardly surprising. This is Angelina – I have sex in limos and wear blood necklaces – Jolie. When has she not been shocking? She probably came out of the womb and gave her parents the finger. Anyway, the Angie of today is a great mom who’s totally down with saving the world alongside her hot life partner. If only we could all turn out that good. [In Touch]
Angelina Jolie‘s latest pregnancy isn’t that far along, but her style has already transitioned from sex pot to that of a seventh grade art teacher circa 1992. There’s nothing more painful than a giant silky black blouse – unless it’s paired with some skirt covered in an obnoxiously bright print. Even Zahara and Shiloh know that! Maternity wear got sexy for a reason, but Angie seems to be avoiding her normally spot-on fashion sense and going for a look my grandmother would love.
Her pending pregnancy, however, is NO excuse for Brad Pitt to dress like an extra on the set of a western movie being shot in 1974. At least Angie’s got something to cover up; though Brad’s new and oddly enormous head of hair could definitely be hiding something. Jennifer Aniston, perhaps?
