This might be one of the strangest Brangelina stories ever. And that’s saying something! According to Us Weekly, Mindy Cohn – Natalie from Facts of Life – is godmother to Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt. For real? Allegedly, Mindy has been friends with James Haven and Angelina Jolie for years (thus, the above photos of Mindy and James from 2006), and Brad and Angelina thought she would be a good godmother…? Sure. Why not.

In one of those only-in-Hollywood connections, Facts of Lifeactress Mindy Cohn may be the godmother to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s twins Knox and Vivienne, 2.

You’re probably asking yourself – Mindy Cohn? How could Natalie from the 80’s show Facts of Life be connected to the world’s most fabulous couple? Well, according to a new report in US Weekly, the couple have secretly been friends with Cohn for years and she is a good friend of Angelina’s brother James Haven.

How did she end up being given the honor of godmother to the twins?

“Mindy is good friends with them,” an insider tells the magazine. “They even gave her a huge diamond ring to than her for being the godmother.”

The mag goes on to elaborate that Cohn was spotted wearing a big stone just months after the twins made their arrival.

Um… what about Tootie?!? No, I guess I could see this? Not really. I was going to make a crack about Mindy needing the diamond ring to hawk for rent money, but I just looked up her IMDB, and it seems that she’s primarily a voiceover talent these days, and that’s a pretty sweet, well-paying gig if you can get it. It’s good to know she’s still working. And that she has some kind of connection to the Jolie-Pitts…?

Minutes pass… okay, a little more research. Mindy and Brad both guest-starred on 21 Jump Street. Was a connection sustained between the two of them. Here’s another theory: George Clooney was on Facts of Life, and he introduced Mindy to Brad…? F-ck, I don’t know.
