Brad Pitt's got a Fight Club sequel in the works. His new sparring partner: paparazzi.

The actor's attorney is threatening legal action against any media outlet that publishes photos snapped "surreptitiously" of Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their family, including new twins Knox and Vivienne, on the grounds of their French estate. Jolie and the newborns checked out of the hospital on Saturday, a week after the birth.

Brangelina has left the building.

E! News has confirmed that Angelina Jolie and her ever-burgeoning brood left the Lenval hospital in Nice, France, early Saturday, a week after giving birth to twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline.

"Angelina left at 4 a.m. in a blacked-out ambulance," a source tells E! News. "And she's now back at Château Miraval with Brad, the kids, her brother, James Haven, and Bill and Jane Pitt, Brad's mom and dad."

The twins' arrival came earlier than expected. Angelina Jolie's departure won't be following suit.

A spokeswoman for Lenval hospital, where the Jolie-Pitt brood welcomed new additions Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, told E! News that the new mother remains in the maternity ward at the hospital and will not, per the latest round of speculation, be checking out today.

"After a C-section, the normal stay for a mother in the Lenval hospital is between eight and 10 days," Nadine Bauer said.

When asked directly if Jolie was due for discharge later today, Bauer said, "No."

Angelina Jolie's doctor, Michel Sussmann, held an impromptu press conference on the steps of the Lenval hospital on Sunday afternoon.

He said Brad Pitt and Angelina were as calm as could be.

During the labor and delivery, the couple "were talking, they were together," Sussmann (above left) told reporters outside the Fondation Lenval in Nice, France, where twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon were born Saturday evening. "It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy."

As Knox and Vivienne may or may not know, their famous parents are trendsetters. In the world of baby names.

Among girls, Shiloh, the name given to the daughter born to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in 2006, cracked the top 1,000 most popular baby names last year for the first time, U.S. Social Security online records show.

Among boys, Maddox, the name bestowed upon the son adopted by Jolie in 2002 (and by Pitt in 2006), debuted in the top 1,000 in 2003—likewise, one year after making Hollywood headlines.

So will the names of the twins born last night to the couple, boy Knox Leon and girl Vivienne Marcheline, be similarly emulated?

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's latest joint project dropped ahead of schedule.

The supercouple welcomed a son and a daughter Saturday evening at the seaside Fondation Lenval in Nice, the actress' obstetrician tells E! News.

Twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline were delivered via cesarean section about 6 p.m. local time.

"Brad and Angelina are extremely happy and everything went perfectly," Dr. Michel Sussmann tells E! News. "Both of the babies are adorable and in excellent health and everyone's content and getting some much deserved rest.

"[Brad, Angelina and the twins] are all tired but very, very happy."

First thing's first: As far as we know, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's twins have not made a break for it just yet.

Nadine Bauer, the spokeswoman for Fondation Lenval, Jolie's five-star seaside hospital, told E! News Saturday night that any official word on the birth would be posted on the facility's website.

There hasn't been a Jolie update since she checked in nearly two weeks ago.

That appears to shoot down two reports claiming les bébés had been liberated earlier today.

Forget buns! Looks like Angelina's cooking up a couple Niçois in her oven.

In case there was any doubt about the French's affection for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's unborn twins, the mayor of Nice proclaimed them honorary citizens of his city on Friday.

Angelina Jolie's doctor just threw a bucket of cold water on the global Brangelina babywatch.

"Angelina's pregnancy has gone very well so far, and she has absolutely no problems at all," obstetrician Dr. Michel Sussmann told E! News, before delivering the blow.

"But she still has at least two or three weeks to go until she gives birth, and she'll most certainly be staying in the hospital until after she gives birth."

Maybe Dustin Hoffman's previously believed red herring due date of Aug. 19 wasn't so far-fetched after all.

The Jolie-Pitt Foundation's good intentions are once again pointed eastward.

The nonprofit set up to dole out the namesake thespian couple's excess dough to good causes has made a $1 million contribution to a handful of groups benefiting kids affected by the war in Iraq.

Half the hefty sum will be spread out among three education and relief organizations in the embattled Middle East nation, according to the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which said that nearly 5,700 kids will benefit from the donation.
