Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, the couple who are almost always in the news for one reason or another, have once more hit the headlines, and ironically for the same reason that they’ve been doing so for quite some time now.

It appears that the two are not satisfied with a half a dozen children jumping around, climbing the walls and hopping over furniture in their palatial house, and want one more to add to their tally of six. To give company to their daughter Zahara, now Brad P and Angelina J intend to adopt a baby from Ethiopia. To boot, if reports are to be believed, the number seven is lucky for Brad P and the couple says it will bring luck to them.
