It has been reported that Angelina Jolie is having a difficult time at home with the twins.

The Lara Croft actress is taking on her most challenging role yet, as mother to six children.

Sleep-deprived and emotional, Angelina is said to be receiving medical treatment for her stress.

A source tells Now, “She’s in tears up to three times a day and so tired that Brad’s found her collapsed asleep in the bath twice.

“She’s been working around the clock, breast-feeding the babies and trying to get them to sleep. But as soon as one of them drops off, the other wakes up for another feed.

“She’s also not eating very much right now and blames that on being busy. The doctor says that she needs more calories to gain strength and ensure that her breast milk is healthy.”

The magazine also reports how the couple have hired help on hand at all times and are now looking for a nurse to stay for six weeks.

It sounds like Angelina could do with some time off.

It pays to live in France. Literally!

With their brood of six kids, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are eligible for almost $2,600 a month in child benefits – though it’s highly unlikely the couple will accept the cash.

Just before the birth of their twins, Knox and Vivienne, the movie stars moved into the Chateau Miraval in the south of France.

Pitt, 44, registered the family at the town hall in nearby Brignoles – making them qualify for France’s generous parenting subsidies. (The benefits are available to all families, regardless of their financial means.)

No one expects the Jolie-Pitt clan to cash in, but they are technically eligible for a “nanny payment” of $975.84 a month, not to mention an “orphan allowance” of $508.97 for each of their three adopted children. The grand total, $2,592.81, would be payable by check each month.

“We do not discuss individual benefits cases,” said a spokeswoman for the Brignoles council. “But [we] can confirm that all resident local families with young children are eligible for certain benefits.”

Angelina Jolie’s brother James Haven insists his sister has found the perfect partner in Brad Pitt - and he expects them to stay “together for life”.

The 33-year-old actress began dating Pitt in 2006, shortly after he divorced Jennifer Aniston, and the couple now has six children together.

And actor Haven is convinced the pair will never split up - because Pitt has had such a positive influence on Jolie’s life.

He says, “Brad has changed my sister a lot. They have an extraordinary bond. I’ve never seen any sign of tension between them and if it keeps going the way it’s going, they’ll be together for life.”

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag may have called off their engagement, but the reality-star lovebirds are still talking babies.

They’re looking to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt for inspiration. “I think I’d rather adopt than have kids,” Pratt said when I caught up with the two this morning. “There are so many kids that need homes.”

A few minutes later, Pratt, 25, clarified that he doesn’t just want to adopt. “I wanna do both,” he explained. “We’ll pull an Angelina and Brad and have a whole clan.”

Montag, 21, cooed, “We’d be so lucky to have a clan like that.”

And yes, that clan could include a child from Africa…

“I used to want to be a missionary [in Africa],” Montag says. “That’s something I’ve always really wanted to do. Go to the U.N. for World Hunger and really, you know, not just go there for a safari, but go there to actually help.”

Speidi sure has a lot of plans.

First up is getting through another season of The Hills. Season four premieres tonight on MTV. Their archnemesis, Lauren Conrad, told me last week she thinks this may be the end of the reality series. Montag predicts, “If this isn’t the last one, I’ll bet there will only be one more.”

Although they’re not attending the Republican National Convention next month, they’re still hoping to do some campaigning for John McCain before Election Day. And speaking of McCain, whatever happened to their much-publicized plan—with the help of the presidential hopeful’s team—to visit the troops in Iraq?

“I don’t know what’s going on,” Pratt says. “I think they’re so focused on the campaign, they kinda lost the momentum.”

Well, that’ll at least give Montag more time to work on her clothing line and music and acting careers. She just dropped her second single, “Overdosin’.”

“It’s about, you know, my love with Spencer and just overdosing and being so happy in love and enjoying the moment,” Montag says.

As for acting, Montag points out that she was offered a big gig way before Conrad recently announced she’ll be appearing on ABC Family’s Greek and Audrina Patridge would be doing the same on the new Fox sitcom Do Not Disturb.

“I actually got cast for a part in Rules of Engagement,” Montag says. “I couldn’t do it because of the Hills schedule. But yeah, they wrote a part for me, and they wanted it to be a recurring role…I went there, and I auditioned. They wanted to hire me and everything.”

Pratt says he’d love to make an appearance on any one of his three favorites, The Unit, 24 or It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

“It’s all a blessing,” Montag says. “We live life to the fullest everyday and just thank God for every little everything.”

Comedian Roseanne Barr took to her website yesterday and unloaded on everyone. Hey, it’s fun! On Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: “jon voight your evil spawn angelina jolie and her vacuous hubby brad pitt make about forty million dollars a year in violent psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children trying to look as if they give a fuck about humanity as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more.” And that’s tepid compared with what she serves up for Voight himself, George Bush, John Edwards, and his former mistress Rielle Hunter.

Jon Voight: “is a frightened little girl in a pink ballet tutu, who acts like Obama just wandered in from the rain forest with a bone thru his nose and a communist pamphlet in his loincloth. The neocons who own jon voight and make him dance on the chabad telethons are the worst most elitist people on earth. glen beck and jon voight are their bitches… both of them are used tampons who must be flushed down the toilet immediately!”

Angelina Jolie is in talks to star in a movie originally intended for Tom Cruise, says Daily Variety. ‘Edwin A. Salt’ — a title that will no doubt change if Angelina signs on — is a thriller about a CIA officer who goes on the lam to prove his/her innocence after being labeled a spy.

Tom’s negotiations to play the title character recently ended, the trade paper says, opening the door for an interested Angelina to star.

Knox and Vivienne’s mom is certainly no stranger to the action hero trade, having top-lined heavy artillery blockbusters like ‘Wanted’ and ‘Tomb Raider.’
