Brad partially relieved some of the strain from Angelina earlier this week when he took two of their children, Pax and Maddox, with him to the Venice film Festival – where he was promoting his new film Burn After Reading. But that still left a distressed Angelina handling four of their other young offspring at the Château in France.  A source close to the couple revealed:

"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."

Apparently Brad and Angelina currently have two full-time live-in nannies who do 12-hour shifts; they've also hired two more nannies until the twins are a year old. As well as that three part-time local nannies have been enlisted to help relieve some of the strain from the celebrity couple.

We hope that Angie feels better soon. Wait, hang on a second – she’s basically got a small army looking after those children, what are they doing sitting around gossiping, smoking and joking all day?!
