Brad Pitt Watch

Proving that no matter how much money you have, you’re never exempt from security lines, Brad was spotted at the Marseille airport presumably on his way back home. I’m guessing that he decided to check out the family’s chateau while he was over in Europe.

And boy does he have something to come home to! Remember the other day when he said that he had too many bikes to mention? Add another. While he was gone yesterday a brand new beautiful chrome bike was delivered to his home. I’m betting that he jumps on the bike the minute he gets home! Huh - I wonder if a chrome bike would warm up his behind.

Brad. Warm. Behind.

Yup, my Thursday’s good now! Enjoy!

Isn’t this adorable?! I love that Angelina got the opportunity to take Shiloh and Zahara shopping at Toys R Us yesterday. It looks like they had fun! I wonder if they were buying presents for Maddox’s upcoming birthday!

And here are a few videos of Brad on the red carpet from last night! Enjoy!

I’m sorry for the delay in these guys! I was having some serious internet problems and then i had to go to watch my son play soccer! I’m learning to love soccer, and especially to watch 8 year olds play it! Tonight I was wondering what it must be like when the Jolie-Pitt kids start playing around - they almost have enough for a soccer team!

Anyway, (can you tell it’s time for bed? I’m rambling!) here are some great shots of Brad at the Inglourious Basterds Premiere in Berlin! Enjoy!

Here are the first few photos I’ve been able to snag of the Inglourious Basterds photocall in Berlin. Brad looked a bit tired but also looked like he was having fun hanging out with director Quentin Tarantino (another name I can never spell - ignore me, it’s a Monday kind of Tuesday!)

Enjoy!

Looks like Brad decided he’d head to Berlin for the premiere of Inglourious Basterds (STILL not used to writing that movie title dang it!).

TIK Online has some exclusive pictures of Brad arriving in Germany and heading to his hotel. Yes, it’s all in German, but the photos pretty much speak for themselves (and those who wish to can always use Google Translate to help you to figure out what they’re talking about!)

And you can always watch this video to check out footage of Brad arriving in Germany.

I should have photos of the premiere later this afternoon!

Even celebrities get to eat junk food!

Brad and Angelina were spotted taking their children out to McDonalds this afternoon in Los Angeles. I wonder how many happy meals they ordered! Or maybe Maddox is eating the larger kids meal.

Meanwhile I’ve spent all day slaving over a hot stove to make a huge Sunday dinner for our family and my parents.

I’d almost rather have McDonalds after all the work I’ve done!!

Enjoy!

We all know that Angelina traveled to Iraq, but just hearing that she was there doesn’t really help us to know what an impact she has when she visits soldiers and places like this.

I was fortunate enough to discover the amazing photos that were taken by Edward McNamara - I will let his description, found below, explain who he is. This amazing man is not only sharing some of his beautiful photos of Angelina Jolie with us, but he also took the time to give all of the rest of us an idea as to exactly how powerful Angelina’s visit to Iraq really was.

Yes, I’m an enlisted infantry solidier here. We recently moved from our small outpost in a Baghdad neighborhood, Hurriyah, to the large FOB. The Iraqi Army is now doing all the patrols in the city.

Edward McNamara

Thank you very much for sharing these amazing photos and for taking the time to write this, Edward, and I also want to thank you for serving in the military. For everything you do for everyone in our country, and in other countries, thank you.

You can see more of Edward’s amazing photos below (check out that profile - simply stunning!) and you can also head to Edward McNamara’s website to see other absolutely stunning photographs which journal his experiences in Iraq.

And if you would like to leave him a message here, please put it in the comments and I will make sure that he receives them.

We all know how amazing Make It Right is, but did you know that they’re not only building single family homes, but homes that can house two families?

These homes are designed not only to house those people who are looking to move back into the Lower 9th Ward after Hurricane Katrina, but for those who want to be able to supplement their income.

Returning families can now choose to buy either a single or a double design — at a price much below market value, director Tom Darden said. Families choosing to buy a double will be able to rent half to supplement their incomes. In the future, Make It Right plans to “condo-ize” some doubles, Darden added, allowing for split ownership.

How amazing is this project? I know that Brad and Angelina do so many good deeds, but for some reason I really feel a connection with Make It Right - possibly because I am an American? Who knows - I just know that it’s great to see this project doing some good for the people of New Orleans.

You can see the full article here.

And don’t forget to check out the new pictures of Angelina and Maddox!

One of the fun things about the Jolie-Pitt family is that you never quite know where they’re going to show up! It definitely makes my job much more interesting, that’s for sure!

First Angelina and Maddox were spotted catching a ride at London’s Heathrow Airport. Angelina was carrying the Gucci Weekender Bag and Maddox? Was just looking super cool.

Their plane went from London to Los Angeles, where Angelina and Maddox were spotted at LAX catching a ride - likely home. How does Angie manage to look that good after she’s been on a plane for so many hours?! I have no idea!

I’m really glad that Angelina and Maddox got to spend some quality time together these last few days. I’m sure she missed all her children, but it’s great that she was able to not only do her charity work, but that she was able to spend time with her eldest at the same time.

I wonder what papa Brad was doing with all the kids? Building tons of makeshift houses in their home? Playing countless games of hide and seek?

Enjoy the photos guys!

*new videos are on the bottom of the press release!*

BAGHDAD, Iraq, July 23 (UNHCR) - UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie returned to Iraq on Thursday to offer support to the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who remain displaced within their own country.

By Abeer Etefa in Baghdad, Iraq

Angelina and Maddox headed off on a jet plane yesterday by themselves, leaving everyone to wonder where they went! I’m not sure, yet, where they went, but my first guess is Cambodia. It’s been awhile (to our knowledge) since Angie and Maddox have visited the clinic in Cambodia and I know that both Brad and Angelina want their children to be involved in their clinics (like the one built in Zahara’s name in Ethiopia).

Of course, they could be anywhere in the world, but that’s my guess. Where do you think they’ve gone?

And, for our added enjoyment, here’s a hilarious interview that Brad did with BILD - a German magazine. Enjoy the photos and the funny interview!

BILD caught up with him in a tucked-away Hotel bar in southern France guarded by two bodyguards in Hawaiian shirts. Brad Pitt was dressed all in black wearing sunglasses, suede shoes, unshaven and smiling.

We both wanted a beer but the bodyguards had scared off the waiter.

Brad Pitt: “You brew good beer in Germany.” He laughs. “My sunglasses are good for hiding puffy eyes after drinking.” They are from the 80s.

BILD: How would you rate your film if you were a critic?
Brad Pitt: “Lots of fun! I’m happy with it, because all the actors are great. Each one is a mini star!”

BILD: What does your wife Angelina Jolie think?
Brad Pitt: “She really likes it. She laughed a lot.”

BILD: You play an American soldier who scalps Nazi’s in a hit team and finally kills Hitler.
Brad Pitt: “Yes there’s a lot going on in the movie, we had lots of fun. You have some great actors in Germany.”

Til Schweiger, Daniel Brühl, Christoph Walz, Diane Kruger and Gedeon Burkhard all starred in the film. For a world famous actor Brad is surprisingly normal. He is relaxed, has a friendly voice and is almost humble about his fame.

BILD: Who is the real Brad Pitt?
Brad Pitt: He is sitting right in front of you. There’s nothing else.

BILD: Are you still a big kid?
Brad Pitt: “No I’m not a kid anymore – I have six children.” Maddox (7), Pax (5), Zahara (4), Shiloh (3), and the twins Vivien & Knox (1).

BILD: Have you found happiness in life?
Brad Pitt (nodding): Hm – yes. I am on the path I want to be on.”

BILD: Do you believe in God?
Brad Pitt (smiling): “No, no, no!”

BILD: Is your soul spiritual?
Brad Pitt: “No, no, no! I’m probably 20 per cent atheist and 80 per cent agnostic. I don’t think anyone really knows. You’ll either find out or not when you get there, until then there’s no point thinking about it.

BILD: Are you scared of ageing?
Brad Pitt (smirking): The grey hairs on his beard glisten: “No I like it. I think it’s good.”

BILD: What is your typical day as a dad?
Brad Pitt: “I get going early, make breakfast, get the kids dressed, brush their teeth and take them to school. Angelina is working at the moment. We take turns.”

BILD: Angelina told me once about your giant bed where all eight of you snuggle up?
Brad Pitt: “Yes we have a 3 metre (9 feet) wide bed, but even that isn’t big enough. They all come crawling in in the morning. It’s just about surviving! We all have sleep deprivation.”

BILD: Do you find the time to make love?
Brad Pitt (looks puzzled): What?

BILD: Is it sometimes just the two of you?
Brad Pitt: “Yes we make time for ourselves. It’s very important for every relationship.”

BILD: How? Do you fly off somewhere?
Brad Pitt: “That’s a trade secret!”

BILD: Your answers are very short and quick.
Brad Pitt (beaming): “Ha! I’m a father of six. You have to be quick and focused.”

BILD: What car do you drive?
Brad Pitt: I’m not a car person. I like motorbikes.”

BILD: You are driving from Berlin to Prague?
Brad Pitt: “Yes for fun! 2 ½ hours just straight on the whole way.“

BILD: How many motorbikes do you have?
Brad Pitt: “Sorry, but I’ve got a problem with that one”. He smiles sheepishly.

BILD: Why? Too many?
Brad Pitt: “Yeah! To be honest I don’t know how many I have.“

BILD: Has money changed you?
Brad Pitt: “It makes everything easier, but money can also be a burden.“

BILD: Do your rings have a story?
Brad Pitt: “No I just like them.“

BILD: And your watch?
Brad Pitt (checks): “Yes, a Rolex.“

BILD: Your necklace?
Brad Pitt: “From my girl.“

BILD: What is your most important possession?
Brad Pitt: “My family - and yes a couple of my motorbikes.“

X17 Online managed to get some exclusive photos of Angelina Jolie in Studio City, California today. While it’s great to see her, of course X17 has started up the conversation about Angelina looking too skinny again. Head on over and peep the pics - do you think Angie looks too skinny?

This weekend my children are off with their grandparents for the entire weekend camping - for the first time EVER. So while the house is quiet (which, by the way, feels really weird), the hubby and I are enjoying a little quiet and alone time *wink wink* - and for some reason these photos just seemed to suit the mood…

Enjoy!

Sorry for the delay in this post, guys, I’ve been sick and am heading to the docs this afternoon (Yes Isa, I promise I’ll take care of myself!)

But I hope that this will make up for my delay!

Photos of Brad Pitt in Wired Magazine were released with some hilarious commentary!!

I’m not a huge fan of the cover, but the questions and answers, and the other photos, are hilarious! I love when we get to see Brad’s funny side - here are some of the funny answers Brad gave about living in todays cyber world!

Can I talk on the phone while taking a whiz?
No, you can’t talk on the phone! Do you want the guy next to you to hear your entire conversation? That’s why you should only text in the bathroom. Just be sure you don’t hit the wrong button and end up putting a photo of your junk on Twitter. Trust me, you don’t want those followers.

Is it OK to look at pornography at work?
Don’t just look at it at work, bring in your old porn mags and scan them there! It’s like converting your vinyl to MP3s. Fill up your hard drive, and when you need a break from spreadsheets, just open a favorite pictorial.

Can I answer my cell during a movie if it seems urgent?
Never. It may be a brief interruption-just a few seconds-but what if someone sitting near you is trying to make a decent bootleg? Did you ever think of that? Now all those street-corner copies are permanently defiled by your so-called “emergency.” Don’t be so damn selfish.

Our Rock Band bassist sucks. Am I a total jerk if I kick him out?
Who cares? You shred, he doesn’t. Fire his ass. Bonus: It’ll put the others on notice. Anyone who doesn’t keep up can hit the road. Even if that means firing the whole band. Remember: All great artists go solo eventually. Just think of Ronnie James Frickin’ Dio.

On his thoughts of tweeting a picture of his wife’s butt like Ashton Kutcher did of Demi Moore.
Don’t take a picture of your wife’s butt. That’s silly. Take pictures of other people’s wives’ butts.

On lying about how much money you make on your online dating profile.
Everyone lies online. In fact, readers expect you to lie. If you don’t, they’ll think you make less than you actually do. So the only way to tell the truth is to lie.

On sometimes awkward cyber dilemmas.
Who cares if your Warcraft wife is really a dude. If it’s good, don’t check under the hood.

Okay - first of all Brad knows about Twitter, which makes me wonder if he’s got a Twitter account somewhere! Do you think he does?! Secondly, he knows WARCRAFT!! Hilarious!

What do you think of the interview and of the pics?

Happy 1st Birthday to Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline!

Today the twins turn 1 year old! Yay!

I can’t believe they’ve grown up so fast and are already a year old! The two of them are absolutely adorable, even though we haven’t seen very many pictures of them. I’m glad that their parents are able to keep them away from the paparazzi, and even though I wish we could see more photos of them, I’m happy with whatever we see as long as they stay safe!

Some readers have wondered if Angelina, Zahara, and Shiloh flew off yesterday to Big Bear City separate from the boys in order to celebrate the twins birthday!

Do you think they did?

Because there aren’t many photos of the twins, I didn’t do my customary collage (SORRY!) but I am including almost all of the photos that I have of the twins for your enjoyment!
