    'It doesn't take much investigation to figure that one out,' Ms Jolie reportedly barked at reporters

    Last week Angelina Jolie sparked rumours she could be welcoming a seventh child into her brood, after being spied with a brand new tattoo.

    Now the annoyed actress has revealed the inking is actually a tribute to Brad Pitt,but didn't take to kindly to questioning - snapping at reporters who quizzed her on the inking.

    The starlet first fuelled talk that she and Brad were in the process of adopting again back in April, when the new tattoo was spotted on her arm.

    While meeting with refugees in Libya, in her capacity as UN Goodwill Ambassador, the Salt star debuted the new etching, which added to the existing lines on her arm.

    The list features coordinates of the birthplaces for each of her six children, but a mystery seventh recently added.

    Now Angelina has confirmed the new tattoo is a tribute to long-term beau Brad Pitt.

    But she wasn’t exactly happy when quizzed on the reason behind the new inking.

    'Well, if they know that it's latitude and longitude they would have figured out quickly that it was Brad's birthplace,' the irritated starlet snapped at a repoters, who asked the question during interview at the Cannes film festival.

    'It doesn't take much investigation to figure that one out. The coordinates are Shawnee, Oklahoma.'

    Ouch.

    This comes as Angelina gets set to step out on the glittering Cannes red carpet, to promote new flick Kung Fu Panda 2. 

    Ruling out another adoption for now, Ange also explained that her new movie 'deals with family and adoption,' and that initially she worried about how her children would deal with 'such a heavy issue'.

    But instead her brood found the flick hilarous.

    'The kids loved it!' They laughed out loud, hysterical,' she said.

    'We talk very openly in our house. Orphanage and birth parents are happy words in our house.'
