The Jolie-Pitt Twins and more ...

They are just 3 weeks old, but twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline are about to take the world by storm.

In an exclusive interview and photos, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie offer PEOPLE an intimate look at their growing family.

"It is chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time," Jolie tells PEOPLE of daily life at the Chateau Miraval in Provence, France, where the couple's four older children - Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2 - have been enjoying a summer of outdoor play (hide-and-seek is a favorite) on the château's sprawling grounds.

Adds Pitt: "[It's] still a cuckoo's nest."

Justin Timberlake might end up getting an Oscar nod - to host the Academy Awards, that is. According to the New York Post, 'The Love Guru' star made such a golden impression hosting ESPN's ESPY Awards last month, that Academy organizers are considering him for the high-profile position previously filled by the likes of Billy Crystal, Steve Martin, Whoopi Goldberg and John Stewart.

Shia LaBeouf's lawyers are now saying that the actor's hand was "crushed" in the car accident he was involved with last week. We found Shia relaxing outside his Los Angeles hospital on a smoke break with his left hand and arm in a cast (and blood stains on his jeans) but Shia could still face complications. Shia's attorney Michael Norris released a statement saying, "His doctors remain hopeful that he will fully recover, but due to extensive surgery and the nature of the injuries, there remains a substantial risk of both infection and other complications."

Shia's injury will delay the filming of Transformers 2 however it will probably be written into the script.

Sadly, Christina Applegate has been diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer her rep confirmed Saturday.

"Benefitting from early detection through a doctor ordered MRI, the cancer is not life threatening," the Emmy nominated Samantha Who? star's rep said in a statement. "Christina is following the recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery."
