In a plea for privacy, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have asked the press to stay the hell away from them while they enjoy the time prior to the birth of the most beautiful baby in the world.
"We love Africa and to be here in Namibia with our family is very special for us," the statement said. "To the local people who have been so kind and gracious, thank you for making us feel at home."As for the press, we kindly ask for privacy so that we can enjoy this beautiful country with our children."
In response to the privacy plea, Namibian officials began taking action against some of the journalists attempting to shadow the couple's every move, using the fact that they lack proper accreditation to work within the country against them.
Three French photographers, as well as a photographer for the Sunday Times were ordered to leave the country or else face arrest, the Sunday Times reported.
Namibian Prime Minister Nahas Angula told the Sunday Times he felt the move was warranted.
"This lady is expecting," he told the paper. "You guys are harassing her. Why don't you allow her some privacy? Harassment is not allowed in Namibia. "If a person says they don't want to be photographed then, of course, that person deserves protection."
Nambia has just become the celebrity go to country for Hollywood's royalty in need of privacy.

Rumor says:
This news is a little late. I already read this days ago. Good for the family. I think it is so funny how the media is dying for information, and they can't get it.
Anna says:
Must be nice to have the wherewithal to arrange for a country's government to protect you from the paparazzi. I have to admire the Jolie-Pitts for their ability to marshall their resources in this way.
Fiz says:
Oh bite it...protection?!!! Did I not just see a pic of angelina spooning a freakin tiger?
Sarah-Jean says:
I think everyone SHOULD leave them alone! I mean for crying out loud, how would YOU like to be tortured when you are nine months pregnant with probably the most genetically gifted child on the planet?
She's fat, probably tired and hot, leave the poor woman alone!!!!!!!!
I mean, sure I'm anxious to see what the probably gorgeous baby is going to look like, but we're all going to see what is looks like sooner or later. We don't need to see it popping out of her womb!
Carol says:
I agree, the press needs to leave them alone. I am sick of seeing thier tired ass faces all over the blogs. STAY AWAY BRANGELINA!
Girly Girl says:
My only issue with this whole 'Wah- leave us alone!' crap is that the SAME week they issued this request, they BOTH issued individual press releases trading on their celebrity for their pet causes.
Sure, their causes are humanatarian in nature, but you can't have it both ways. You either go the hell away for good, which means not sitting in Namibia issuing press releases while simultaneously decrying press, or you take the good with the bad.
And if Katie Holmes and Brooke Shields could BOTH be in labor in the same hospital in Los Angeles and the press not even know it- then why the hell can't Brad and Ang and their posse figure out how to do it too???
Lee says:
Leave her alone.
I highly respect Angie for protecting herself and the family. Bug off, paps.
True Love says:
Beautiful Brangelina - There is a beautiful picture of Angelina in Namibia being interviewed by Anne Curry. Angelina looks lovely, glowing, and serene. The cradle of human life on earth has done Angelina so much good. The beautiful Namibian people have shown them respect as they have shown respect too by giving their money to so many African charities. I am in awe of this couple. They are truly the most beautiful and kind people on earth. May the Universe bless you Brangelina and bless everything you do. May you find peace in this preparation for your little Brangelina. And peace and love to the world. And may it remain green and lovely. Brangelina fights for this too.

countrybabe says:
Leave it to Brad and Angie to go to one of these so called "Democratic African countries" that doesn't have fredom of the press. With a wink and a nod, can you get these reporters out of here?

And dont you dare respond by saying " the universe forgives you." Fuck you and your universe. I'll piss on it.
In other topics .. Im glad they will get their privacy. I was hoping they had some lions attack the paparrazi, but I guess not :(
True Love says:
Tia, I more than forgive you, I share love with you. We are sisters on this earth together. I hold no resentment to you and I hope you don't to me. Brangelina spirit is one of peace, charity and love. I don't need ecstasy any more because love is a real feeling. And we can be completely in tuned and consious and feel love and peace, without any help.
