Angelina Jolie has been tipped to play Catwoman in a future Batman movie - by the actress who made the role famous, Julie Newmar.

Newmar, 74, prowled across the small screen, playing the feline villain in the 1960s Batman television series.

And she would love Jolie to take on the role - if The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan decides to resurrect the character in a future sequel.

Newmar tells the New York Daily News, “Angelina would own the part. My industry friends tell me (she) has made inquiries about the role. I can understand how it would pique her interest. Catwoman is Batman’s one true love. She’s tremendously popular with women because she’s both a heroine and a villainess.”

Since Newmar, the Catwoman role has been played by Eartha Kitt, Lee Meriwether, Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt turned to fertility treatments to quickly conceive twins Knox and Vivienne.

“They conceived through in vitro fertilization,” a well-placed source within their camp tells Us. “They both desperately wanted more babies soon.”

The chance of having fraternal twins at Angelina’s age (33) naturally is under 1 percent; with in vitro, the chances are 25 percent. Says Dr. Arthur Wisot of L.A.’s Reproductive Medical Group (who did not treat the couple), “We live in an era of reproductive freedom, so anybody can do anything they want within legal limits.”

The actress chose the procedure (which can cost around $12,000 a pop) so “she wouldn’t have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant,” the source tells Us. “She could just knock it out.”

Indeed, Jolie has spoken about her goal to do just that.

“If we’re going to have 10 kids, we’d like to raise them while we’re young,” she told Elle U.K. last year. Brad Pitt turns 45 on December 18.

A source adds: “They were too impatient.”

Knox and Vivienne – born in Nice, France on July 12 – join the couple’s adopted brood of Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and biological daughter Shiloh, 2.

Angelina Jolie has left hospital in France - fooling the paparazzi to bring her newborn twins home without interruption.

Jolie gave birth to son Knox Leon and daughter Vivienne Marcheline by Caesarian section at the Fondation Lenval hospital in France on Saturday.

And after a brief stay, the Hollywood actress and her partner Brad Pitt left the medical center early on Saturday morning - slipping out the back entrance to avoid the crowds of photographers awaiting the couple’s departure.

A statement from hospital officials has thanked the pair for choosing to host the birth there.

It reads, “Mrs (sic) Angelina Jolie left the clinic Santa Maria of Fondation Lenval early in the morning, on July 19. The mother and her babies are doing very well. The general management of Lenval and Santa Maria want to thank the team for the attention and care they pay to the family, and those of the journalists around the hospital who did their best to respect their privacy.”
The twins are the fifth and sixth additions to Jolie and Pitt’s family - the couple has three adopted children, Maddox, six, Pax, four, three year old Zahara, and biological daughter Shiloh, two.

She’s a big sister now! And Shiloh Jolie-Pitt was on her best — and sweetest — behavior when she was introduced to her new twin siblings the day after their emotional delivery on July 12.

As her weary parents, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, beamed with pride, the wide-eyed 2-year-old greeted tiny brother Knox Leon and sister Vivienne Marcheline with smiles and kisses.

“They weren’t planning on having Shiloh see Angie and the babies so soon, but she couldn’t sleep or eat until she saw her Mommy,” an insider tells Star.

As Angie, 33, held the newborns, Shiloh first stared then smiled. She was put on the bed next to them and kissed them on the forehead.
