ANGELINA Jolie and Brad Pitt's baby daughter is to be offered Namibian citizenship. Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt will be given a passport by the African nation where she was born if her actor parents, who were said to be "thoroughly overjoyed" by her arrival, want it.

Shiloh, whose name means "the peaceful one" in Hebrew, was born on Saturday night in The Cottage Hospital in Swakopmund.

The country's deputy environment and tourism minister, Leon Jooste, said: "The couple are thoroughly overjoyed by the event and have expressed their happiness to be able to share this experience in Namibia."
