"The Insider" has the latest... Nearly three months since giving birth to twins Vivienne and Knox, Angelina Jolie made her first public appearance on Saturday, landing on the red carpet at the New York Film Festival for the premiere of her highly anticipated drama, 'Changeling,' and we got all the baby 411 from the glowing mom of six! Angelina told "The Insider" that she and Brad are doing their best to keep the twins on a schedule but that "the girl is much more demanding!" In the Clint Eastwood-directed film, set in 1928 Los Angeles, Angelina plays a mother whose young son goes missing. But when her prayers are answered and he's found by the LAPD, she soon suspects the boy returned to her isn't her son at all. Angelina says she took on this role for a very personal reason. "She reminded me of my mom," she said. "And I had lost her that year." 'Changeling' hits theaters October 24.
