| April | 11 | Michael Douglas is defending himself against the comments he was credited for making on Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s romance. Douglas now insists that he was misquoted. He tells US news show Extra!: "It was a lengthy article. (It) must have been 20 hours of tape recording, so I asked to hear the tape recording and the reporter said, 'Well, I turned the tape recorder off.' I said, 'Well you had it on for the whole time, so I didn't say it.'" Even though the quote isn't his, Douglas still wrote an apology to Brad and Angelina.
| | 7 | Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are staying at a secluded Namibian beach resort, surrounded by tight security, prompting speculation their baby will be born in Africa. Namibian media reported that immigration officials confirmed the stars and five other people, including two children, arrived in Walvis Bay Monday morning on a chartered jet from Paris.
They have rented all 14 rooms and suites at the Burning Shores resort, a luxury boutique hotel on Long Beach north of Walvis Bay and near the famous dunes of the Namibian desert. A private security firm and local police officials cordoned off the area and threatened to confiscate any cameras, Namibian media reported.
| | 2 | Angelina Jolie will give birth to her and Brad Pitt's baby in a private lodge in Namibia, if the latest rumours of the Brangelina love-child are to be believed. This contradicts earlier reports that Jolie planned to have the baby in France, in accordance with her French mother Marcheline Betrand's wishes. But News of the World reports that Pitt and Jolie plan to stay in Africa for the birth -- so that Jolie can continue her humanitarian work there right to the very end. "They've fallen in love with Africa and want to help as much as they can over there," a source was quoted as saying. "Angelina has completely changed from her old partying days and she takes her UN responsibilities very seriously."

Martin Luther King Jr. The four bikes: two from Affleck and one each from Pitt and Fishburne are up for bid on the Charity Folks Web site through Friday, Freeman said. Other celebrity items are being offered in the auction, including wedge-heeled shoes designed and signed by Jennifer Lopez and a DVD of "Catch Me if You Can" signed by Tom Hanks.

The weeks-long speculation centers on the lakeside villa of Pitt's friend and fellow actor George Clooney, where the couple were expected to arrive on Thursday or Friday, and the nearby luxury hotel of Villa d'Este, once a romantic hideaway for stars such as Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra.
