Brad Was At Angelina's Side

Cagle: Was In Room When She Gave Birth, Despite Reports Otherwise

(CBS)  "But probably the media is a big reason for it. I think that the Namibian government stepped in, and they really protected the couple and kept the journalists at bay. Obviously, the two of them had a huge security force of their own. Could you imagine if the LAPD had stepped in and protected them? I mean, there would have been such an outcry, so they were protected."

The Namibian government worked hand-in-hand with Pitt and Jolie to keep away all but the journalists they wanted around, Cagle observed.

"They were real sticklers about work permits, and only certain people could get in. I'm not sure it worked, because apparently the place where she is, is swarmed with media. So, I don't know how many they were able to keep out. But they are keeping them at bay."

Cagle followed that with another quip: "I do think they're so hounded by the media that she decided to give birth on Memorial Day weekend so people like me would have to come to work. She's sick of us!"

While Pitt's family issued a statement expressing excitement for Pitt and Jolie, her father said several months ago he'd like to meet his grandchildren but, says Cagle, "apparently, there's still a rift. I don't know if that's been repaired yet."

And when will Jolie be back on a movie set?

"She has signed on for a couple of projects, but is taking some time off, obviously, for this," Cagle responded.
