There's trouble in paradise for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie because they are having another bust-up — this time over whether to have their baby in Europe or in the USA.

Sources say that Brad is pushing for the safety of a birth in America where Angelina's regular doctors reside — but she's determined to have a special delivery in France where the high-profile Hollywood couple is hoping to settle.

The birth location is said to have sparked a string of heated arguments between the twosome, whose first biological child is due in May.

Said an insider: "Brad and Angelina have been at odds over the birth place for the past month. They'd originally planned to have the baby at Cedar Sinai Medical Center in L.A. That's where they've booked a birthing room and Angelina's chief obstetrician/ gynecologist and general practice doctors are located.

Brad wants to keep it that way. "He fears for Angelina having their first child in France and wants it to be born in a familiar environment where she knows and trusts the doctors."
