Paparazzi Diary: In Pursuit of Baby Brangelina

In the end, even the identity of the hospital was a state secret.

In an exclusive ongoing diary for TMZ, a paparazzo in Namibia discusses the government's final efforts to keep Brad and Angelina's new baby from the press. Her account follows:

The months-long cat and mouse game between the stars and the paparazzi culminated with Angelina giving birth at the Cottage MediClinic Hospital in Namibia.

The choice of Cottage was itself a head-fake, following incorrect reports that the baby would be born at the private Welwitschia Hospital instead.

Photographing the parents was all but impossible. Security vehicles caravaning with the couple split up to keep the press off their tails, with a decoy driving to Walvis Bay-- where the couple's compound is located-- while a car with Angelina, Brad and the children drove via back roads into the hospital, using a back entrance for her admittance.

According to a top paramedic, the Cottage MediClinic maternity ward is famous for its tight security and efficiency, which is why Brad and Angelina were comfortable with not having the hospital visibly guarded. The hospital was unusually quiet on Sunday -- locked up except for the managerial staff. Even the sign of the hospital had been removed.

According to a government statement the baby, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, could be given Namibian citizenship if the parents choose to do so. The statement said the family will remain in Namibia "for some time" to allow Angelina and the new baby time to recuperate.

Meanwhile, tensions between Brangelina and the press continued. John Liebenberg, a South African photographer, appeared in court on Monday on charges of trespassing at the Tiger Reef Beach Bar. He had been caught trying to shoot pictures as the happy family was enjoying some "time out."

Brangelina bodyguard Mickey Brett denied having anything to do with the reportedly excessively tough security measures that had been dished out, and also said he had nothing to do with the arrest of the photographer. He said that his security team is simply doing their job to keep the cameras off Angelina. "Angelina and the children have to hide behind curtains all day because you photographers won't leave them alone," he said. "Of course we are going to make sure that she is left alone, but it seems as though the press continues to twist everything I say in all the newspapers - I've even been called a thug," he added.

But with the loyal support of the Namibian government, Brad and Angelina have set a precedent of privacy at a price. Namibia now seems to be the place where superstars can jet in, secure their piece of paradise, and, with the blessing of the government, send the media packing.

Mira Sorvino Has a Boy


Oscar-winning actress Mira Sorvino and her husband Chris Backus have welcomed their second child, a boy named Johnny, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.

The baby, who was born on Monday at 5:50 p.m. at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Beverly Hills, arrived a week before his due date. He weighed in at 7 lbs., 14 oz., and was 21 inches long.

"Both mother and son are doing very well and are both very healthy," the actress's rep Ed Choi, tells PEOPLE. "The entire family is thrilled at the addition of a baby brother for their daughter, Mattea."

The couple's first child, Mattea Angel, was born in November of 2004. Shortly after the birth, Backus told PEOPLE: "(Mattea) is the cutest little baby in the whole wide world."

When Sorvino announced in January that she was expecting her second child, she told PEOPLE: "I'm so excited that Mattea is going to have a sibling. We're going to be a family of four."

Sorvino, 38, and Backus, 24, married in June of 2004. They met at a friend's charades party the previous summer. "He walked into the kitchen looking for silverware. We saw each other and something made us want to talk to each other more," Sorvino told PEOPLE of the couple's first encounter.

The pair got engaged within a month of meeting and had two weddings. The first was a private civil service at the Santa Barbara Courthouse, the second a hilltop ceremony in Italy's Capri, where guests feasted on pasta in lobster sauce and a three-tier chocolate sponge cake topped with Mira and Chris lookalike figures.

"Mira looked like a young girl in seventh heaven," one witness told PEOPLE of the Italian ceremony.

Sorvino, who is the daughter of actor Paul Sorvino, won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Woody Allen's 1995 film Mighty Aphrodite.

Brad, Angelina Thank Hospital


Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who welcomed daughter Shiloh in Namibia on Saturday, tell PEOPLE in an exclusive statement: “We would like to deeply thank the staff of the Cottage Medi-Clinic Hospital for all their kindness and commitment in assuring the successful birth of our daughter.”

The couple’s obstetrician from Los Angeles, Jason Rothbart, M.D., was assisted by the local staff of the Cottage Medi-Clinic Hospital.

"Angelina underwent a scheduled cesarean due to breech presentation," Dr. Rothbart tells PEOPLE exclusively. "The baby was a healthy 7 lbs. Brad was with Angelina in the operating room the entire time and cut the umbilical cord of his daughter. The surgery and birth went flawlessly. The staff, nurses and doctors I worked with at the Cottage Medi-Clinic Hospital were amazing, it was a team effort."

The Cottage Medi-Clinic, in the coastal town of Swakopmund, Namibia, is a private hospital with nine doctors and nine nurses tending to the eight-bed obstetrics unit.

Doctors in the unit do their best to make childbirth an experience the whole family can share in. They encourage rooming in – that is, babies and mothers staying in the same room – and breastfeeding and feeding on demand. Both parents are encouraged to bathe the baby, and fathers and siblings are welcome to visit – good news for Shiloh's brother Maddox, 4, and sister Zahara, 1.

More Details on Shiloh Jolie-Pitt's Birth


According to In Touch, here is THE LATEST info on the birth of little Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.

- Shiloh was born on May 28 at 1:40 a.m. local time (which was May 27 at 8:40 p.m. EST), said the provincial governor.

- Brad Pitt was overcome with emotions as doctors delivered their first biological child in Swakopmund, Namibia.

- The baby weighed in at 7 pounds, says an insider.

- Shiloh was delivered by Angelina's private doctor, who flew in from Los Angeles to perform a C-section.

- Shiloh was in the breech position - feet first - necessitating the surgery.

- Rumors placed the birth at the Cottage Hospital, but insiders insist it took place at the Burning Shore Lodge.

- During the birth, Brad and Angie's son, Maddox was with a babysitter, while Zahara was cradled by a nurse. Angie's brother, James Haven, "hovered near the doorway" during the delivery. Brad's brother, Doug Pitt, who was in Paris, expects to see his new niece soon.

- Brad brought the kids to meet Shiloh and they all gave Angelina gifts. Maddox gave his mom red flowers and Brad gave Angelina a colorful, braided cloth bracelet made by a young girl from a nearby village. He also bought similar bracelets for himself, Shiloh, Maddox and Zahara.

- While friends say Maddox is thrilled with his new baby sister, a witness did hear him complaining to his dad that Shiloh "sleeps a lot." Brad was then heard explaining, "That's what babies do when they've just been born, Mad. They sleep."

- Brad, who once said, "little girls just crush me. They break my heart", has been handing out cigars to everyone he sees and sending emails to friends describing little Shiloh.

- Angelina and Brad have already donated $300,000 to two Namibian state hospitals, as well as $15,000 to a community center in Swakopmund.

- Parenthood definitely agrees with Angelina, who is already talking about adopting more kids - and traveling around the world with them.

- Insiders say the Jolie-Pitt brood will leave their temporary home at the Burning Shore Lodge in Namibia in mid-June, stop in Paris for a short vacation, then return, finally, to their renovated Malibu mansion.

- Angelina really misses her mom, Marcheline, who really regretted not being able to be in Africa for the birth, and can't wait to see her and introduce her to Shiloh.

- Angelina has been estranged from her dad, actor Jon Voight, since 2002, when he revealed that she was adopting Maddox then publicly criticized her. As a peace offering, on May 20, Jon bought Shiloh three gifts - a rattle, a stuffed pig and a stuffed cow - at Glen Kids in Bel Air. "I just wish the best for her," he told a friend soon after the birth. "I hope, at some point, things will be different between us. I wish her the best because I love her."

- The night Angelina gave birth, Brad's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston was alone in her room at The Peninsula Hotel in Chicago - without her boyfriend Vince Vaughn. According to a witness, the next morning, Jen's bodyguard walked her dog Norman and picked up an assortment of newspapers, so she could read about Brad's firstborn child. "Jen's really relieved now that Angelina's given birth," says a friend of the actress. "It's finally over. The baby is born, she'll grow up and maybe now everybody will stop asking her about it."
