It's Official: Brad and Angelina Adopting Another Child

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are in the process of adopting a child from Vietnam. A US adoption agency representing Angelina filed papers at Vietnam's International Adoption Agency, and this has been confirmed by the agency's director, Vu Duc Long, today. Angelina applied to adopt as a single parent.

"She just filed the papers this week," Long said.

You may remember that the couple visited Vietnam last Thanksgiving, and spent time at the Tam Binh orphanage while they were there.

The couple plans to adopt a little boy around 3 or 4 years old, which will mean a nice playmate for Maddox, 5. This will be their 4th child.

Angelina told CNN's Anderson Cooper last summer, "Next, we'll adopt. We don't know [from] which country. It's gonna be the balance of what would be best for Mad and for Z right now. It's, you know, another boy, another girl, which country, which race would fit in best with the kids."

Anderson Cooper to Stay with CNN

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper has just inked a new contract with the network, netting him the tidy sum of $14 million a year. This new deal more than doubles his salary and will allow him the flexibility to continue to contribute to 60 Minutes on CBS as well.

Anderson Cooper Gets New Job

CNN's Anderson Cooper will debut on CBS's "60 Minutes" in New York tomorrow evening.

After his stories appear on "60 Minutes," they will then air on his Monday-Friday CNN show, "Anderson Cooper 360."

Cooper is putting together the CBS segments on weekends and vacation days so as not to interfere with his current job on CNN. To me, I would think it would be a slight conflict of interest.

His first story will center on U.S. Army Sgt. Joe Darby, the whistleblower who turned over the famous photos of US guards abusing prisoners in Abu Ghraib.

A New City city resident and two-time Emmy winner, Cooper previously worked for ABC.
