Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt: With Six You Get Camera Roll

In the future, listing all the Angelina Jolie - Brad Pitt kids may be a tough barroom trivia bet. But for now it's just something we have to do when note that the happy family took a stroll to the store together today in New Orleans, where daddy Braddy has the day off from shooting Cogan's Trade. Here goes: Pax, Maddox, Vivienne, Shiloh, Zahara and Knox.

And yeah, we know, not in that order. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, will be listing them in the correct order in our comments section. The first one to do so will win...the satisfaction of knowing they've done so. Happy Sunday!

Is Brad Pitt moving his family to Manhattan?

Is Brad Pitt moving his family to Manhattan?

These are new photos of Brad Pitt at LAX yesterday. Still wearing a hat, which seems to be hiding his longer hair. Is Brad growing his hair out? Unknown. Anyway, Fame Pictures is trying to make a big thing about how Brad is probably flying to France to oversee even more renovations to the chateau. I don’t know if that’s really where he’s headed, though.

Meanwhile, OK! Magazine claims that Brad and Angelina are planning a move to New York, just in time for Jennifer Aniston’s move to New York. OK! is creating controversy because they think Brangelina will move uptown, while Aniston will move downtown, and “the city isn’t big enough for all of them.” It’s not all Bermuda Triangle stuff though - apparently, Brad and Angelina have finally decided to get married. Yeah, yawn:

It looks like Brad Pitt and Angelina may finally have wedding bells ringing in the near future - along with a new house in Manhattan to call their own!
A friend of the couple tells OK!: “Angelina has always love city living, and Brad wants to make her happy. So they looking to purchase a townhouse instead of an apartment. Right now, they want something with about 10 bedrooms. That’s two extra bedrooms compared to their last NYC apartment. They’re trying to find something that can accommodate everyone and toying with the idea of buying two townhouses and turning them into one big house - that way, they have more than enough room to extend their family.” Which, according to sources, is something they will do when they finally get married.
The friend also says: “New York is filled with good memories for them, really romantic ones. They loved their times at the Waldorf, and Angelina loves the antique shops and bookstores. They also love taking the kids to museums and Central Park.”

[From OK! Magazine, print edition]

Yeah, it’s crap. But if it’s true, then good for them, I guess. Good luck trying to wrangle six kids in the city.

One last thing - OK! Magazine has a side story that I find much more interesting. It’s all about how Brad is getting back into shape after developing something of a gut last year. According to sources, while Angelina was directing in Budapest, Brad was working out like crazy at a private gym. Lots of running and weight machines, etc. He has been looking thinner lately.

Brad Pitt's Parents Move In with Him and Angelina Jolie

Brad Pitt is reportedly building an apartment on the grounds of his Chateau Miraval estate in France to accommodate his parents Bill and Jane Pitt, who plan to help raise the couple’s large brood.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “The whole family is going to move there as soon as the renovations are done. At the moment they have six nannies -- one for each of the kids -- and the plan is to get rid of the helpers and rely on Bill and Jane.

"The annex they will live in is an old building which used to be used as a dovecote.

"It's big enough to have a sitting room, kitchen and a couple of bedrooms. It will make a lovely little cottage for them."

Brad, 47, and Angelina, 35, are said to have asked Bill and Jane to move in with them in order to give their children a more stable home life, instead of traveling the world for months at a time to keep up with the couple’s movie-making commitments.

The source added: “They don't want them dragged around the world any longer.

"Brad is traditional and wants them to put down roots and have friends and go to the same school, rather than constantly moving.

“They'll pretty much retire from Hollywood for a while.”

It is believed that Angelina’s Tourist co-star Johnny Depp -- who also lives in France with partner Vanessa Paradis and children Lily-Rose, 11, and eight-year-old Jack -- encouraged the couple to make their permanent base in Europe.

A source said recently: “Johnny said if they want a normal life they must leave Los Angeles. They all agree the time has come for them to focus on bringing up their family.

"They have plenty of money and they want to relax and enjoy it."

Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Attend ‘Megamind’ Premiere In Paris

 

 Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Attend ‘Megamind’ Premiere In Paris

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie attended the ‘Megamind‘ premiere in Paris, France last night. You can love them or hate them, but whenever Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt attend a function, it gets a LOT of press.

This wasn’t really a pleasure outing – Brad Pitt voiced one of the ‘Megamind’ characters, ‘Metro Man’. Doing CGI films has to be the easiest way to get paid in Hollywood. Angelina Jolie is famous for her role in ‘Kung Fu Panda’ – which is coming out with a sequel soon enough.


Have you seen ‘Megamind’? It went head to head against ‘Tangled’ but the two movies cater different kind of children. I’ll probably end up seeing it – but when it comes to television.

Back to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt – what do you think about Brad’s leather pants?! I love how they are both ALL in black. This must have been a nice night out for Angie seeing that she has to deal with issues revolving around her UN title.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie donate thousands to charity

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated $150,000 to a children's charity.

The couple gave the sum to SOS Children's Villages, USA - which supports adoptive families and highlights the needs of children without parental care - in recognition of National Adoption Day through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

Dr. Heath Paul, CEO of SOS Children's Villages, USA, said: "I am truly thankful that Angelina and Brad understand the power of family - the kind of stable family that SOS holds as an essential part of healthy child development.

Together, Angelina and Brad have been eye-witnesses to the great work of SOS Children's Villages in Ethiopia, Jordan, a Darfur refugee camp in Chad and Haiti. Angelina and Brad know that children's need for a family is universal.
The donation from the couple - who have adopted three children, Maddox, nine, Pax, six, and Zahara, five, as well as three other kids, Shiloh, four, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne - will provide the long-term financial support needed for a family of four foster children in one of the US SOS Children's Villages.

Last year, the couple donated $100,000 to two of the organisation's centres in Florida and Illinois after being impressed by their work.

Angelina said of the generous gift: "We have seen firsthand the remarkable job SOS does to raise orphaned and abandoned children and keep families together. No one 'ages out' of an SOS Village: vocational training, advanced education, living assistance and moral support are there forever."

The SOS Villages house over 200 children and last Christmas Brad insisted it was important to show gratitude for the work the organisation does.

He said: "In this holiday season, many of us take for granted that we are surrounded by loving family members. The poor outcomes for foster children indicate that we must do a much better job of supporting them."

It was revealed last year Brad and Angelina donated $6.8 million to charity in 2008 after raising the money through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

When Aniston got a letter from Jolie

When Aniston got a letter from Jolie

Former Friends star Jennifer Aniston was shocked when she once received a letter from actress Angelina Jolie. According to reports, Jolie, who raises six children with Aniston’s ex-husband Brad Pitt, decided to reach out to her in an attempt to put an end to their long-running feud.


"Angelina doesn’t want any more bad energy in her life and she hates the hostility that exists between her and Jen," showbizspy.co.uk quoted a source as saying.


"It’s taken her a very long time to work up the courage, but she’s coming from a good place and genuinely wants to put the past behind them," the source said.


"It may seem crazy, but for those of us who actually know Angelina, it really isn’t all that surprising. She’s an unpredictable character, so for her to reach out to Jen like this is just the sort of behavior she’s known for."


"In the note, Angie tells Jen that she would make a wonderful mother and that she’s at the perfect age and time of her life to have her first child. What’s more, Brad is fully behind her. He’s so proud of Angie for reaching out to Jen," the source added.


The source further said that when Aniston opened Jolie's note, she was "beyond shocked. I think she suspected at first that it must have been sent as some kind of a prank."


"Still, when Jen realised Angie’s letter was sincere and genuine, she actually went from shocked to being impressed. Being a mature person, Jen must have recognized how much of an effort it was on Angie’s part to have gone through with the letter," the source added.

Sexy Angelina Jolie graces the cover of Vanity Fair

Angelina Jolie is giving the readers of Vanity Fair magazine a sexy treat by appearing in a raunchy photo spread in the upcoming issue of the magazine. The ‘Tomb Raider’ star not only graces the cover, she will be seen smoky-eyed and sexy inside the magazine's August issue in a series of steamy photos by Patrick Demarchelier

And in an interview to the publication, the 33-year-old actress assured that, contrary to tabloid reports, there's no trouble in paradise for Brangelina. "I feel fortunate to have a relationship where I actually feel safe enough to imagine growing old together," the New York Post quoted her as saying of her pairing with Brad Pitt, 46.

In fact, she is not even a bit put off by Pitt's cringe-inducing scraggly beard. "I love Brad in every state," she insisted. The mother of six also gushed about her latest action flick, ‘Salt’, saying she was pleased with tweaks to the script. Her role was originally intended for a male, Tom Cruise-type lead. "We made her meaner than a guy, and dirty. It's the Chihuahua up against the big dogs," said Jolie.

George Clooney offers to adopt some of Pitt and Angelina Jolie's kids

Actor George Clooney has jokingly said that he’s planning to adopt some of Brad Pitt’s kids. The 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' actor, who has no kids of his own, has claimed that he owes Pitt a favour and is willing to help out with his six children.

"I am planning to adopt. I am going to adopt some of Brad Pitt's kids. I owe him," Contactmusic quoted him as saying. Previously, the actor revealed that he has no plans to become a father, but spends time with Brad and his partner Angelina Jolie and their kids whenever he feels lonely.

"Even one kid running around my villa makes me nervous, so I'm definitely not a candidate for father of the year.

If I need to surround myself with children and feel like I have this big extended family, I can always call Brad and Angelina and ask them to stay with me, just to remind myself why I'm so happy," he said.
