Angelina Jolie banned reporters from quizzing her about her impending baby joy at Saturday's Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

With beau Brad Pitt in tow, the Tombraider star fuelled a fresh set of pregnancy rumours by sporting yet-another suspicious frock.

The Associated Press claim that reporters were requested not to ask the 32-year-old about her alleged pregnancy.

Instead the actress addressed questions about what she thinks it would take for the media to focus on current events and not her highly scrutnized personal life. 

"I think it's going to take, partly, people wanting to learn those things," she said.

"I mean, I know, that's what I look for when I wake up in the morning — when I go online or when I get the paper. And you can find it if you're looking for it. And you can avoid silliness if you want to. So it's a personal choice of each individual."

Reports last week suggest that both Jolie and Pitt have brokered a deal to sell confirmation of her current pregnancy to an unknown U.S publication.

The source claims that the Hollywood Power Couple will sell her baby news, with the proceeds going to charity.
