Babies: a celebrity predicament

Having read Grazia this morning and spluttered our cornflakes all over our nice pristine copy of this week's fashion hysteria, Lost in showbiz feels moved to defend Angelina Jolie (and no, it doesn't happen often so pay attention!)

Angelina has not been seen in public since before the birth of the twins - sparking speculation as to exactly why

Why? Why?? Er, hello? Twins? Major surgery? Give us strength. Also interesting to note that in Grazia's book (a glossy one, I'm sure) seventeen pages of Hello magazine don't count as public.

Furthermore, "friends" (who'd be without them) apparently say that Angelina is following a "bizarre diet" which includes drinking two litres of water a day and "is still avoiding alcohol". So that'd be drinking the recommended amount of water per day and perhaps breastfeeding her children, then?

Do Grazia believe the stork brings babies? Or that they're simply found under the nearest cabbage? Apparently Angelina's freakish desire to perhaps, I dunno, spend some time with her newborn babies is a "predicament". Are we alone in thinking that this is the biggest non-story of all time?
