Angelina Jolie reportedly wants her former lesbian lover to be godmother to her newborn twins.

The star dated Jenny Shimzu on and off for years and is said to be keen for the bisexual actress to play a permanent role in the lives of Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline.

Partner Brad Pitt is apparently yet to give the the decision his blessing.

But the superstar couple have managed to agree on U2 frontman Bono for godfather, according to a report.

"Brad and Angie think the world of Bono,” a source tells The Mirror.

"They have been friends for years. Brad is a massive U2 fan and told Bono how much he admired him when they were introduced at a party a few years back.

"Since then, they've become very close, which Brad is thrilled about.

"Angelina is inspired by Bono's humanitarian work and gets on with his wife Ali Hewson. Ali's given Angelina some clothes from her ethical clothing range Edun."
