A Bris for Baby Aguilera

Christina Aguilera, 27, and husband Jordan Bratman, 30, introduced their newborn son Max into Judaism with a traditional bris ceremony.  The even formalized Max's middle name, Liron, which means “my song” or “my joy” in Hebrew, and culminated with the traditional circumcision. The bris ceremony is one of the most important for Judaism practitioners and usually culminates in a party where friends and family can celebrte the child’s introduction to the religion. Although Christina was raised as a Catholic, she has been learning about Judaism since her 2005 marriage to Jordan.

Angelina & Brad’s Rumored Plan to Add to Brood

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are reportedly planning to adopt a child, this time from the United States.  Star magazine claims the couple has fallen in love with a little girl whose parents were killed in the Katrina devastation. A source tells the magazine, "Brad met a little girl and fell completely in love. He and Angie had already decided that their next child would be a daughter. They were originally going to adopt a girl from Africa, but now Brad is sure this child is the one."

Both Angelina and Brad have been putting their philanthropic efforts into helping those who became homeless during Katrina in 2005 find new homes. Brad is a supporter of the Make it Right organization, which is working to rebuild destroyed sections of New Orleans.

If adopted, the new addition to the Jolie-Pitt family will have four brothers and sisters (and playmates!) Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, and Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 19 months. However, other news outlets are reporting that Angelina is pregnant, with twins! We’ll have to see who is right when the couple makes an announcement either way. It would seem the couple wouldn’t adopt and have children themselves at the same time -- though you never know!
