The Jolie-Pitts Globe Trot Back to France

Molly — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 08:56:45 -0700

Just like that, the Jolie-Pitts are back in France. The family arrived at the Nice airport in their pajamas early this morning after an all-night flight. We were just reveling in seeing Angelina and Brad cuddling and watching Maddox and Pax play in New Orleans, but it looks like they were using up all their energy before the long plane ride. The family of eight filed out one by one with Brad and Angelina juggling the twins in their car seats. The family is back in their French home for the next week or so before they return to Germany where Brad will be filming Inglorious Bastards. Just another whirlwind week around the world for the Jolie-Pitts and their six jet-setting children.

Lots more of the Jolie-Pitts so

Angelina and Her Boys Play While Brad Keeps Building

PopSugar — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 06:00:00 -0700

A handful of the Jolie-Pitts stepped out of their house in New Orleans yesterday to visit one of the sites of Brad's housing projects in the Ninth Ward. The weather was a little rainy, but that didn't stop Pax and Maddox from smiling and playing on a jungle gym as Brad and Angelina looked on and cozied up to each other. Brad's hard work has been paying off, and at a charity event on Monday, he announced that his Make it Right Foundation had raised enough money to build six more homes in the city bringing the total to 90 toward his goal of 150 — another good deed from the power giving couple.

Brad Takes on New Orleans With Barack and His Bike

PopSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 12:30:15 -0700

After the weekend in NYC for Angelina's Changeling premiere, at least one Jolie-Pitt headed to New Orleans to check on things at their house in the French Quarter. Brad spent his morning biking around the neighborhood, showing off his notebook complete with a Barack Obama sticker. Brad probably has some business to attend to — like checking up on his Make It Right program — but if the kids joined him for the trip hopefully we'll get to see another one of the family bike rides they love so much.

Angelina Glows as the Jolie-Pitts Take Over the Big Apple

PopSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 05:00:00 -0700

Angelina took the three oldest Jolie-Pitts out to Lee's Art Shop in Manhattan before meeting up with Brad for dinner at Nobu and her premiere of Changeling this weekend. Angelina looked stunning showing off her post-baby body for her first red carpet appearance since the twins were born. Angelina also showed off her two latest tattoos on her arm — the coordinates to Knox and Vivienne's birthplace. While Angelina said she and Brad would eventually have more kids, she did admit they were planning to wait a little while. She also discussed how it felt strange walking the carpet and being sleep deprived, all while letting us know everyone was doing great.

Angelina, Brad and the Kids Arrive in New York!

PopSugar — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 07:45:00 -0700

Angelina, Brad and the rest of the Jolie-Pitt family arrived in Manhattan last night before Angie's Saturday premiere of Changeling. The family flew in from Germany where they just started living while Brad films Inglorious Bastards after spending the Summer in France. Shiloh looked adorable and sleepy after the long flight while Brad carried in Zahara and one of the twins in the carseat. We've heard news of Angelina the past few months, from the large donations that have been given to rumors of trouble between her and Brad, but it's fantastic to get a peek at her after all of this time. Hopefully we'll see more of the Jolie-Pitts as they play around the Big Apple, but for now it's great to get a glimpse at the family arriving back in the states.

Brad Pitt Moves His Glorious Family to Germany

PopSugar — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 09:00:16 -0700

Brad Pitt popped up in Germany yesterday for a meeting with Quentin Tarantino, Diane Kruger and more of the Inglorious Bastards cast at a restaurant in Berlin before stopping by the studio in Potsdam this morning. After getting goofy in France on Tuesday, he moved the entire Jolie-Pitt family to Germany and set up shop in a fancy new Villa at the Palais Parkschloss on Wannsee Lake. The actor will be one of the few people speaking English in the WWII movie, so should be an interesting experience for Brad and yet another country the jet-setting family can explore.

Brad Pitt Is Mellow, Yellow and Ready for the Beach!

Molly — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 06:00:00 -0700

Brad Pitt was head to toe in yellow terry cloth on the set of a Japanese cell phone commercial in France yesterday. He looked silly to be sure but that grin shows the humor of his outfit isn't lost on him — gotta love the matching hat and too short pants. Sticking to funny is wise since his recent foray into goofiness for Burn After Reading earned him good reviews and a No. 1 opening weekend. None of the kids came along this time and we haven't seen Angelina at all recently leading to lots of rumors about the end of the Jolie-Pitts, which have been denied by their reps. All seems business as usual since they've been so busy with their charitable donations together and hopefully the family W Magazine spread shot by Brad out soon will put to rest the split stories.

Burn After Reading: A Smart and Sinister Spy Comedy

PopSugar — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 10:36:39 -0700

Burn After Reading: A Smart and Sinister Spy Comedy As the opening credits of Burn After Reading blip across a satellite image of Washington, DC, viewers may find themselves wondering if they've wandered into the wrong movie — a Bourne Identity type thriller filled with high-tech secrets and evil intentions. But for every spook with high-security clearance in DC, there is a goofball at Jamba Juice, waiting for his afternoon smoothie.

Brad Heads Home After No Jen Run In or Clooney Godfather

Molly — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 07:05:00 -0700

Brad Pitt arrived back in France on Sunday after a quick trip to the Toronto Film Festival to show off Burn After Reading. There was lots of talk surrounding his overlap in the city with Jennifer Aniston and whether or not they ran into each other, but he's already back with his family. About those twins, Brad laughed off stories that George Clooney is their godfather, saying, "No, he hates children. Are you kidding? I love the twins too much to subject them to George." Unfortunately Clooney was not there to defend himself, but Brad can still bring the laughs without his buddy. The boys return to the big screen this weekend when their comedy Burn After Reading hits theaters.

TIFF Gives VMAs a Run For Its Money

PopSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 06:00:03 -0700

The MTV VMAs may have been the talk of the town, but the Toronto Film Festival proved to be just as star-studded. Jennifer Aniston looked fabulous as usual in her mini black dress for Management, while Keira Knightley looked like royalty once again on the red carpet for The Duchess. Brad Pitt showed off his Burn After Reading and talked about how little sleep he's getting these days taking care of six kids. Dakota Fanning wowed us in her black number, looking so pretty and grown-up at the premiere of The Secret Life of Bees with costar Jennifer Hudson.

Mark Ruffalo pulled double duty for Blindness with Julianne Moore and The Brothers Bloom with Adrien Brody, while Anne Hathway looked gorgeous continuing promotions for Rachel Getting Married. Of course, it wouldn't be a festive weekend without a few parties, and Kate Hudson, Diddy, and Lindsay Lohan were just a handful of stars who had plenty of fun without any movies of their own to endorse.

Brad Is Part of the New Establishment and Toronto Bound

Molly — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 09:00:32 -0700

Brad Pitt arrived at the airport in Marseille, France, this morning on his way to tonight's Toronto Film Festival Burn After Reading premiere. He and Angelina just landed at No. 9 on the Vanity Fair 100 as part of The New Establishment, but it looks like he's rolling solo without Angie or any of the kids. It was so much fun to see the boys together in Venice, though we can't blame Clooney (No. 55 on the VF list, by the way) if he skips in order to stay in Europe as long as possible, especially after his exciting Obama fundraiser earlier this week. Seeing Brad and his blinging sunglasses is more than enough especially since we're already so excited to see the movie he's promoting.

Brad and Zahara Say Bon Voyage to Cannes

PopSugar — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 07:50:52 -0700

Brad Pitt and Zahara arrived at the Cannes airport earlier today looking ready to take flight with a trusty blanket in hand. After Pax and Maddox joined Brad for the Venice Film Festival, it looks like it's Zahara's turn for more father-daughter time. Brad is scheduled to be at the Toronto Film Festival premiere of Burn After Reading this Thursday and whether or not any other members of his big family make the long journey back to North America with him, we doubt anything will come of all those rumors about meeting up with a certain ex wife of his who will be at the festival too.

Brad, Mad, and Pax Cruise Out of Venice

PopSugar — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 10:39:53 -0700

Brad and his boys arrived in Venice for the film festival just two days ago, but they were already boarding their water taxi on their way back to France today. It was a busy couple of days for Brad dad, who posed and partied with BFF George Clooney to promote Burn After Reading and still found time to pick up a trophy for Best Actor for his work in The Assassination of Jesse James. We would have loved to see more of Pax and Maddox during their trip to Italy, but thankfully there's still that spread in W magazine to look forward to.

Brad and George Tuxedo Up and Hit The Burn Premiere

Molly — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 12:30:32 -0700

It's tuxedo time for Brad and George! The boys hit the big red-carpet premiere of Burn After Reading this evening at the Venice Film Festival, dressed to the nines and ready to steal the show. Of course, all their co-stars were there as were the Coen brothers, but forgive us, this week it's all about Pitt and Clooney. It sounds like last night went that way too as the guys partied the night away celebrating being back together until the wee hours of the morning with lots of drinks to go around. It can't have been too rough of a night for Brad and George — they were looking sharp and on their game with the reporters early this morning at the photocall. Now, we'll just have to wait and hear how night number two of the guy's reunion goes down in Venice.

Brad and George Share Red Carpet and Pitt's Children in Venice

PopSugar — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 09:00:59 -0700

The Brad Pitt and George Clooney two man Venice Film Festival show rolled on, this time swapping their dark suits for light ones to meet up with co-stars Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand and the Coen brothers at a Burn After Reading photocall today. The handsome duo arrived by boat again with smiles, laughs and autographs for fans. During the session, when reporters got a little personal, the close friends kept things light by stepping in for each other and joking around. Here's more:

When a reported asked Brad about the babies, George answered: "The twins are fine."
When Brad was asked if he'd rather win an Oscar or fall in love with a beautiful woman, George answered: "Brad, don't answer that."
When George was asked about settling down and having kids they both answered: George: "I am so surprised to hear that question. That is honestly the first time I’ve been asked that question. I am getting married and having children today. Brad?" Brad: "And until then I’ll be sharing mine with him. I’ll have two more by next year."
Both also answered when asked abut missing the convention in Denver: George: "I'm happy to be here. This is one of my favorite places in the world to be. I like to watch the conventions on TV. I think the stars of the convention should be the people who are being elected. I'm pessimistic, but I'm optimistic. I think it's a very exciting time in American politics."Pitt: "I'm optimistic, too. It's a vital time. It's a defining time. I'm excited about where things are going."

They went on to joke that they only share one scene in the movie thanks to a restraining order. While we miss seeing them at the DNC, Venice is even better and thanks to tonight's red carpet premiere the Brad and George fun is not over yet.

George and Brad Are on Our Watch in Handsome Suits

Molly — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 06:00:00 -0700

George Clooney and Brad Pitt changed out of their casual boating attire and into some dapper suits for last night's charity gala to benefit their organization, Not On Our Watch, at the Venice Film Festival. The boys looked handsome as ever and happy to be back with each other to also promote their new movie Burn After Reading. Brad arrived with two of his sons, Maddox and Pax, earlier in the day, but it looks like the little guys sat this party out. Seeing photos of these two extremely manjoyable actors always puts a smile on our faces, but I'm even more excited to see the pictures with Brad behind the camera photographing his family for W magazine.

Brad, Mad, Pax, and George Descend on Venice Film Festival!

Molly — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 09:04:08 -0700

The boys arrived at the Venice Film Festival this morning, and we couldn't be happier to see them! Brad Pitt had Maddox and Pax by his side to meet up with perfectly relaxed and handsome looking George Clooney. The duo are slated to attend a Not on Our Watch Event tonight before tomorrow's big premiere of their movie Burn After Reading. Last year the whole Jolie-Pitt crew made the trek to the festival, but with the two new additions we wouldn't be surprised if Angelina, the girls, and the babies sat this one out. Instead, Maddox and Pax get some man time with Brad dad and his buddies in Venice, not too shabby.

Lots more of Brad, Clooney, and the boys, so
