THEY HAD IN VITRO?

US Weekly is breaking the news right now that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie turned to in vitro fertilization to conceive their newly born twins, Knox and Vivienne.  IVF is typically used when a couple has trouble conceiving, but in this case Us says Brad and Angie just wanted to speed things up.

"They conceived through in vitro fertilization," a well-placed source within their camp tells Us. "They both desperately wanted more babies soon."The chance of having fraternal twins at Angelina's age (33) naturally is under 1 percent; with in vitro, the chances are 25 percent. Says Dr. Arthur Wisot of L.A.'s Reproductive Medical Group (who did not treat the couple), "We live in an era of reproductive freedom, so anybody can do anything they want within legal limits."The actress chose the procedure (which can cost around $12,000 a pop) so "she wouldn't have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant," the source tells Us. "She could just knock it out."

I can sort of understand if Brad couldn’t get her pregnant again because the temptation to finish with a money shot on Angelina Jolie would be about overwhelming.  I would practice by shooting tin cans off a fence just so I could draw an exclamation point or smiley face or something like that.  Why not have fun with it, I say.
