A source in Windhoek, Namibia in southwest Africa, tells X17online exclusively that Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their clan are there now spending Christmas in their daughter Shiloh's birthplace.
The family was seen doing some last-minute holiday shopping at the local Maruba Mall and we're told: "They are really, truly beautiful people." Our source was amazed to see them in Namibia and thought they were equality as pretty in real life as in the magazines. She tells us: "They're certainly going to do a safari -- people don't come here and not go on safari. If you're looking for adventure, you can find it in Namibia."
Last week, Jolie told Ryan Seacrest on his KIISFM radio show: "We're going to travel and have an adventure because that's what we love to do." Apparently their non-stop globetrotting to Budapest (for Jolie to shoot her directorial debut), then around western Europe to promote
The Tourist wasn't adventure enough -- the clan headed back to Shiloh's and Zahara's roots in Africa.
Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt was born at the Welwitschia Clinic in nearby Walvis Bay in May, 2006. An employee at a lodge in Windhoek tells us that was the last time she had heard of the couple being in Namibia. Local officials were helpful in protecting the privacy of the family during their stay there four and a half years ago, keeping photographers and other journalists away from the clinic. Jolie adopted Zahara Marley as a newborn in 2005 from Ethiopia.

Dawn Holland, the Betty Ford Center staffer who was fired for speaking to the media after the alleged assault by Lindsay Lohan, has dropped the criminal complaint against Lilo.
Holland's attorney, Keith Davidson, released the following statement:
"Dawn will not continue to press charges against Lindsay, nor will she be assisting any further in the investigation or prosecution."
Davidson added to his statement that "a crime has quite simply not been committed by Ms. Lohan."
Earlier this week, Holland had claimed to
TMZ that she was called to perform a breathalyzer test on Lindsay the night of December 12 "which Lindsay refused to do. She was very angry, out of control." The ex-staffer then said the 24-year-old actress pushed her and went inside the house and called 911. Holland then picked up another phone inside the house to speak with 911, but Lindsay "kept yelling and cursing and screaming" in the background. In addition, Holland revealed Lilo had "twisted my arm and my hand."
What a difference a few days make!
Although Holland has dropped the charges against Linds, a source tells X17online that The Betty Ford center is still under investigation with The California Department of Public Health. We're told that Holland is also a part of that investigation due to her violation of California's Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

Ricky Martin is opening up about falling in love and raising kids in the January 2011 issue of UK's
Attitude magazine.
The 38-year-old Latin superstar, who is currently raising twins Matteo and Valentino, says his love life has taken a few turns over the years. Ricky tells the mag:
“I used to fall in love quickly. When you are young you are open to taking risks and not afraid of anything. Now my priorities are different. I have children and they are the most important thing in my life. OK, I’m in a relationship and I know how lucky I am.â€Â
Martin recently performed on CBS'
Home for the Holidays special, and the Puerto Rican singer had adoption on his mind. After performing his latest single
Shine, the openly gay singer revealed:
“Even though I started with surrogacy, adoption is probably my next step. I had to be here as a father… 20,000 children have been beautifully impacted by this project. Adoption is beautiful. Give it a try!â€Â
You go, Ricky!

When it comes to shopping at Barneys, get out of Katie Holmes way!
Tom Cruise's wifey kept her eyes on the prize, and on the road, while making her way into the Barneys parking lot in Beverly Hills. Nothing like a little last minute Christmas shopping to stay in the holiday spirit. But those crowds are enough to turn anyone into the Grinch.
Forget the sales! We have a feeling Katie doesn't even have to look twice at the price tag.
Loves it!
