Jolie Talks After Birth

Father was present. Mother was "terrified." But in the end, "everybody was so lovely"--and they're already planning another addition.

Such are the labor-day memories of Angelina Jolie. She shared them with CNN's Anderson Cooper in what has been billed as the Oscar-winning actor's first U.S. TV interview since she and parental costar Brad Pitt welcomed their new baby, Shiloh Nouvel, on May 27.

The interview was taped this week in Los Angeles, CNN revealed Friday. It's scheduled to air Tuesday on Cooper's nightly news show, Anderson Cooper 360.

The Associated Press credited itself with scoring exclusive excerpts of the Jolie-Cooper summit. Accordingly, it disseminated three passages:

Jolie on childbirth: "Because you're there for the birth, which I wasn't for my first two kids, you're just suddenly terrified that they're not gonna take a first breath. That was my whole focus. I just wanted to hear her cry." Jolie on Pitt, with relation to childbirth: "He was in the operating room, yeah. And we had amazing doctors. Everybody was so lovely." Jolie on donating what the AP said was one-third of her income to charity: "Yeah, well, I had a stupid income for what I do."

Despite the AP's exclusivity claim, the New York Post had some advance quotes, too, including a choice one where Jolie says she and Pitt are ready to adopt--again.

"It's going to be a balance of what would be the best for Mad and Z right now," Jolie tells Cooper, per the Post.

Mad is son Maddox, 4, adopted from Cambodia; Z is daughter Zahara, 1, adopted from Ethiopia. All together, Jolie, 31, and Pitt, 42, are currently parents to three children.

The Jolie interview comes on the heels, actually, flip-flops of expectant mother Britney Spears' Dateline sit-down interview with Matt Lauer. It was not known if Jolie, like Spears, chews gum during the segment.

In related news, the AP denied an AP report Friday that Spears was thinking about giving birth to her new baby in Namibia, as Jolie did. The wire service first quoted a government official of the African nation as saying there was a "definite possibility" of Spears winging there. Later, it quoted Spears' publicist as saying the story was "not true."

Jolie, Pitt and their Jolie-Pitt troupe returned to Los Angeles this week following a two-month stay in the aforementioned Namibia for the aforementioned birth of Shiloh.

The air date of Jolie's CNN interview will coincide with World Refugee Day. As such, Jolie, a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, will talk about her work with refugees.

"You think, Jesus, the things these people go through," Jolie says, per the Post. "I owe it to all of them to get myself together and stop whining about being tired and get there and get focused because, God, it's the least I can do with what they live with."
