Jolie and Pitt baby shower photos stolen

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have had a series of personal photographs stolen, including intimate pictures from a baby shower in Namibia.

Lawyers for the couple sent an email to various media organizations on Sunday night informing them that "a digital memory card containing a number of personal copyright protected photographs" of Brad, Angelina and their children have been stolen and offered for sale.

According to website TMZ.com, the photos, taken in Namibia, "include images from a private baby shower."

The email was sent by the couple's powerhouse law firm, Lavely & Singer, and threatens that anyone who publishes the photos "will be liable for substantial compensatory damages, punitive damages, and injunctive relief."
