ANGELINA JOLIE and partner BRAD PITT used fertility treatments to conceive their newborn twins, a new report has suggested.
The couple was desperate to quickly expand their brood - and turned to artificial insemination so they wouldn’t have to "deal with the stress" of trying to get pregnant, reports U.S. magazine Us Weekly.
A source tells the publication, "They conceived through in vitro fertilisation. They both desperately wanted more babies soon." Last year (07), the Tomb Raider star told U.K. magazine Elle: "If we’re going to have 10 kids, we’d like to raise them while we’re young." Fraternal twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline - born this month (12Jul08) in Nice, France - became the fifth and six children to join the Pitt-Jolie clan of Maddox, six, Pax, four, Zahara, three, and biological daughter Shiloh, two.

SIMON PEGG has no interest in taking on the title role in cult sci-fi show DOCTOR WHO - because he is having too much fun acting in Hollywood films.
The star, who once played a villain called The Editor on the British programme, insists he would not want to trade his film career for David Tennant’s part as the time-travelling adventurer.
He says, "Being the Doctor? I don’t think so. First, I’m really loving doing movies. I’m really enjoying working in the U.S. "Second, I really love Doctor Who and would hate to sit down on Saturday night and have it be me.
"David Tennant has done an incredible job - he’ll be a tough act to follow. I would feel awful if I messed up the franchise by just being rubbish."

MONTY PYTHON star JOHN CLEESE has slammed his estranged spouse ALYCE for demanding half his earnings in their bitter divorce battle, blaming insecurity for her actions.
The British actor is currently embroiled in divorce proceedings with his third wife, Alyce Faye Eichelberger Cleese. The couple separated in January (08) after 19 years of marriage.
And Cleese, 68, is outraged Alyce is trying to claim half of his earnings and properties for herself.
Speaking to reporters at a fundraiser for England’s Bristol Zoo on Thursday (24Jul08), he ranted: "Guess how much I’m paying her at the moment? I’m paying her £900,000 a year. And we had no children. "It really is astonishing. When I told my friends, they just put their heads in their hands.
"I’ve suggested it would be much easier and more fair if we went to mediation. But I guess Alyce is just feeling insecure and wants to get everything she can." But the comedian admitted he had found something to smile about in the midst of the ongoing ordeal - his newfound "friendship" with 33-year-old marketing executive Veronica Smiley.
He added: "The tabloid newspapers go on about her being half my age, but I’m not sure that matters. She’s absolutely gorgeous and incredibly intelligent…
All my friends were quite jealous when they saw her."

U.S. pop sensation KATY PERRY had such a strict religious upbringing she wasn’t even allowed to watch MTV.
The I Kissed A Girl hitmaker now appears on the cable music channel on a daily basis, but she was banned from watching the network when she was a child.
The middle child of two deeply traditional pastors, Perry tells EW.com she wasn’t allowed to listen to any kind of non-religious music, and Madonna videos were definitely a no-no.
She says, "MTV and VH1 were permanently blocked on our television." But the pop star insists she has no hard feelings about her religious past, and even had a Jesus figure tattooed on her wrist to remind her of her restricted youth.
She explains, "I got this Jesus tattoo on my wrist when I was 18, because I know that it’s (religion) always going to be a part of me.
"When I’m playing, it’s staring right back at me, saying, ‘Remember where you came from.’"

Rockers FIVE O’CLOCK HEROES are desperate to distance themselves from AGYNESS DEYN after recently collaborating with her - because they are fed up with fielding questions about the supermodel.
The U.S. band recruited Deyn - real name Laura Hollins - to sing lead vocals on their first single Who.
But frontman Antony Ellis is annoyed the British model has stolen the band’s spotlight.
He says, "Whenever we have an interview now, all anyone ever asks us about is Agy. It can be really frustrating when the questions should be about music, not about who Agy’s dating and stuff like that.
"Something I do find quite annoying is when there’s a photo with Agy and the band, quite often they’ll just focus on her and chop our heads off - even though she’s only recorded one song with us."

Rap superstar JAY-Z has urged his fellow American citizens to think carefully before voting in the November (08) presidential elections, because BARACK OBAMA shouldn’t be chosen just because he’s black.
The forthcoming U.S. vote will make history if Illinois senator Obama wins and becomes the country’s first African-American leader.
And while hip-hop mogul Jay-Z is championing the Democrat’s campaign, he wants people to make sure they’re voting for the right reasons.
He says, "If (Barack Obama) loses I really will feel sorry and sad for the state of America. The world is watching. And the world will judge us on that.
"And I’m not voting for him simply because he’s black. The worst thing ever for black people would be to put someone in who wasn’t capable. (But) what he represents to a little kid in Marcy Projects (in Brooklyn, New York) right now is to make him feel like he’s part of America. We never felt like we were part of the American dream."

Former IRON MAIDEN star BLAZE BAYLEY has been rocked by a family medical crisis - his wife has fallen into a coma after collapsing at their home.
The rocker has released a statement thanking fans who have offered him and his family words of support as they pray for his partner Debbie’s recovery.
He reveals his spouse, who is also his manager, suffered a brain haemorrhage at the family home in Tamworth, England on 6 July (08) and has been in a coma ever since.
He says, "She has had three neurosurgeries; each one has been a success.
"Debbie is now in a coma that could last days, weeks or even months. She is breathing on her own and she is stable, but she is still in critical condition.
"I visit her every day that I am not out with the band, and talk to her about what is going on with the band and how well the new album is doing. Her family and close friends are also at her bedside every day." Bayley reveals letters from fans have been a great help and he reads them to his wife: "Thank you to everyone who has sent messages of support to Debbie and to me. A lot of them I have read out to Debbie in hospital." But Bayley - who has reformed his previous band Wolfsbane - refuses to put his music career on hold and stage a bedside vigil for his wife, because she would want him to rock on.
He explains, "She has worked so hard to get the band going and to make the new album possible that I feel it is important to continue with what she has started for us.
"So I am not cancelling any shows that she has arranged for the band, because I know that is not what Debbie would want." Bayley recently credited his wife, who he wed on St. Valentine’s Day (14Feb) last year (07), for straightening him out after financial problems and alcohol abuse sent him spiralling into a severe depression.

PAUL GIAMATTI regrets turning down a wine ad campaign following the success of SIDEWAYS - because he’d be a wealthy man if he agreed to peddle Merlot.
The actor played a wine snob who hated Merlot in the 2004 movie and was then approached by grape growers in California to mock his film character in a TV and print ad.
He explains, "The Merlot growers tried to get me to do an ad campaign for them; I said no and now I feel like a fool - I could have used the cash." And Giamatti admits his role in Sideways has turned him into the butt of jokes in restaurants.
He adds, "People are always pushing Merlot on me. Merlot was the thing I wouldn’t drink so everybody thinks it’s hilarious to try to make me drink a glass - and they think nobody’s ever done that before."
