Jolie and Pitt deny marriage plans Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt denied Wednesday that wedding bells are in the air, saying they want to concentrate for now on their newborn daughter and Jolie's two adopted children. "There is nothing in the air. The focus is the kids, and we are obviously extremely committed to the children and as parents together," Jolie told a news conference. "So that kind of says it for us, and to have a ceremony on top of it is nothing." Meanwhile, in London, People and Hello! magazines launched legal action Wednesday against two Web sites that published a picture of Jolie and Pitt with their newborn daughter. Pitt and Jolie sold rights to the images of Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, born May 27 in Namibia, through Getty Images photo agency. The couple said all proceeds would be donated to a charity, not yet named. People magazine paid a reported $4 million for the right to release the pictures in North America, while Hello! obtained British rights. The embargo on the images was broken when two gossip Web sites posted an apparent image of the front cover of Hello! Hello! denies leaking the photo, saying its cover was kept strictly under wraps. The magazine said it and People "have taken immediate legal action to prevent publication of its cover prior to it going on sale" Thursday in Britain. Pitt and Jolie made their first public appearance since the birth of their daughter, thanking Namibia for the privacy and peace they enjoyed. "We have been able to have a very special, peaceful time for our family here, exploring your country and more importantly helping with the delivery of our daughter Shiloh," Pitt told a news conference for local journalists at a hotel in the coastal town of Swakopmund. "So for that we are eternally grateful." Jolie, 30, gave birth to Shiloh Nouvel at a private clinic in Walvis Bay. Delivered by Caesarean section, the baby weighed 7 pounds and was said to be in good health. Pitt, 42, and Jolie retreated to the southwest African country for government-assisted privacy in the weeks leading up to the birth. They plan to leave in the coming days, without specifying a date. Jolie, relaxed and smiling in a long black dress, said the couple had sought a place where they could spend some special time with her children, 16-month-old Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia, and 4-year-old Maddox, adopted from Cambodia. Both children had their surnames legally changed to Jolie-Pitt after Pitt announced his intention to adopt them as well. "We both had traveled to Africa and loved this part of the world," the actress said. Pitt and Jennifer Aniston divorced last year. Source:yahoo.com
