Make sure you click on the photo collage - it’s fairly large. And Happy Mother’s Day!
What Is a Mother?
A heart that can hear
every unspoken need,
Wisdom to know
when to quietly lead,
Hands that reach out,
always helping and sharing–
A mother is caring!
Eyes that reflect
every joy that you find,
Arms to encircle,
but never to bind,
A talent for making
the most out of living–
A mother is giving!
A voice that can soothe
or inspire or delight,
A smile that keeps shining
when things don’t go right,
An angel God sends us
from Heaven above–
A mother is nothing but
caring, giving and love.

Awww! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were spotted hugging on the balcony of the mansion they’re staying at in France yesterday. Shiloh was also spotted on the balcony and boy does her hair look like its getting long! She’ll be turning two in a few short weeks - how time has flown! Angie and Brad are both scheduled to be appearling at Cannes shortly, so there is a possibility that they’ll be celebrating Shiloh’s birthday in France. But then again, this is the Jolie-Pitt family, and you never know where they’re going to be at any given point in time!
Even though they’re a bit grainy, I love these photos of Angelina and Brad hugging, for the simple fact that they look like they are finally getting the relaxation that they need and are being able to enjoy each other. And I have to say that I love that the photos are grainy, because it means that the parparazzi are using a really, really big lens and are nowhere near the home. Enjoy the photos!

Just when you thought the family was going to be able to relax a bit in France, up pop more wedding rumors. This time, the rumors are that Brad and Angie will be married on the yacht of Paul Allen, of Microsoft fame. Mr. Allen has a yacht called the Octopus, which looks like this:
The yacht has:
- Two helicopters for easy arrival and departure
- A pool
- It’s very own submarine
- Jet ski access points
- A tender (a smaller boat to ferry into the port)
Wow.
The story states that one of the staff on board the luxurious yacht says that Brad and Angie will be married on board the pretty boat in the south of France before the end of the month is up.
Do we believe the rumors this time Jolie-Pitt fans?

Apparently now that the paparazzi in France know where Brad and Angie are, they’re going to bug them as they do when they’re in the states, and while this makes me angry and annoys me, I can’t help but love these photos. Brad, Angelina, and all of the kids went for a walk near Bono’s home in the south of France on Sunday (I don’t know if it’s Sunday OUR time or THEIR time - I’m horrible with time zones). David Howell Evans, guitarist and back up vocalist for U2, was with them and had some fun playing with the kids in the sun and the sand. And let me say right now that I love Angie’s colorful dress - it looks beautiful and oh so comfortable - I want one!
Evans and Brad, being gentlemen, where right there, ready to lend a hand when Angie wanted to get up from her rocky perch. Zahara was hanging out with Mommy, Pax was getting tossed in the air and dumped in the ocean by Daddy, and Maddox was taking a dip in the water. Family fun looks to have been had by all!
So while I’m sad that they can’t have all of the private time that they love, I am happy to see that they’re looking happy and healthy and like they’re having a very relaxing vacation!
Enjoy the photos, and, as always, click on the thumbnails to see the full photo!

Brad and Angie were photographed with beautiful Princess Z taking a helicopter ride! A mysterious man with white hair tagged along and many believe that he was some sort of realtor/home owner taking Angie and Brad to look at an estate that they are considering purchasing in France. Who knows if that is true or not, but the one thing we know for sure is that Princess Z got some quality mommy and daddy time high up in the sky and that everybody looks great!

Oh sweet George. Okay, I may be one of the few people in the world who doesn’t think he’s the most attractive man alive (Sorry girls! Brad is definitely hotter), but he has a sense of humor and wit that makes me laugh every time. His eyes light up with mischief and you can see that, inside, he’s got a 12 year old little boy who love to pull pranks.
He also cares about the world, and showed once again that he’s the most loyal of friends by writing this article for Time’s 100 Heroes and Pioneers.
It is one thing to talk about the problems of the world and quite another to actually try to change things.
That is the beginning of a very beautiful article written by Mr. Clooney that you should definitely read.
Thanks to Isa for the tip!

*to begin with, I want to thank you all for your advice yesterday. The winner, Jane, has contacted me and will be getting her giftcard…hopefully I can do it again soon!*
Oh Gwyneth, Gwyneth, Gwyneth. You know that eventually we were going to have some paparazzo or interviewer ask Gywneth about her feelings on Brad’s family, and it has happened.
OK! Magazine caught up with her at the premiere of Iron Man and asked if she had any well wishes for Brad and his newest unborn family member. Her answer?
“No!”
Wow! Tell us how you really feel!

Dlisted.com wants everyone to know that Anglina Jolie did drugs.
Shock and awe here, people, shock and awe.
Angie has been very forward about the fact that she used drugs when she was younger. Now, however, it looks like there may be another problem.
The National Enquirer is saying that there is a videotape of Angie doing heroin available for sale as we speak.
“The key part of the tape is Angelina doing heroin. She says, ‘Wow, this is really good smack - not that cheap crap that’s been stepped on.’ Angelina is seen sniffing white lines from a plate, and then as the drug cooks on tinfoil, she deeply sucks in its smoke through a tube.”
According to the Enquirer (the most reliable source of news, I know), the tape as made around the same time as Angie did Gia. The owner apparently wants $70,000 for the tape.

I have been trying to contact Jane, the winner of our first contest, and have not been able to get a hold of her. Now, I’ve still got the $25 Amazon Gift Card to give away, and I’ve e-mailed Jane twice and have not heard back from her at this point. Should I:
1. Wait a little longer for Jane to answer and try emailing her again?
2. Choose another winner from the last giveaway through random draw?
3. Start a new giveaway for the gift card?
I’m looking to you, faithful readers, what should I do?

Looks like I spoke too soon about there being no news! Just Jared has a story up saying that Brad and Angie are actually in France right now! The story says that they are staying at Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen’s Villa Maryland in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat on the French Riviera, where they are being waited on hand and foot (can I come too?).
They apparently arrived in France Monday evening.
The word through Just Jared is that the family is going to be spending time together this month, enjoying each other before the round of press junkets begins for their movies.

Oh My Gosh you guys! I’m sorry that I haven’t updated in a few days! The summer hit Vermont for a few days and it was wonderful! We got the patio set up and we spent hours outdoors. Then, however, the rain came, and with it my internet died.
There hasn’t been that much going on lately in the world of Angie and Brad. On April 24th, a photographer caught up with a beautiful yellow Angie looking lovely, as usual, but you’ve probably seen some of these photos online already. What surprised me the most were photos like these:
Now, I know that Angie doesn’t care for the paparazzi, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen her put her hand up to shield herself from them like this…so I’m guessing that this particular paparazzo was a bit too close to Ms. Jolie to make her comfortable. She was in Hollywood, and they say that the worst mannered paparazzi do frequent Hollywood the most.
Other than this, not much has been going on in the Jolie-Pitt household! I’m suspecting that this will change as the summer progresses, however, so make sure you stop back for updates!

The very first Brad Pitt Watch Giveaway went great, but all good things must come to a climax. I plugged the numbers into Random.org and the winner is:
And that would mean that it was Jane who won!
Thanks, Jane, for entering the contest! I’ll be contacting you about sending your gift certificate!
And thanks for everyone who entered! I regret that I only have one gift to give - maybe we can come up with some others soon, however. Come back and keep watching!!

FHM posted their “Top 100 Sexiest Women in the World” list recently, and of course Angelina was on it. But what number do you think she was? 1? 2? 3?
12.
She was number 12.
What gets me so much isn’t that she’s number 12, but who is ahead of her. To begin with, do you think that Angelina is sexier than Hayden Panettiere? I definitely do. How about Hillary Duff? Definitely! Elisha Cuthbert? Absolutely.
The absolute ultimate insult, however, is that Megan Fox is found to be sexier than Angelina.
Most of the Angelina and Brad fans I know see Megan as a pale imitation of Angelina.
What do you think - does Angelina deserve to be number 12 underneath some of the other women?
And don’t forget - only a few more days to enter the first Brad Pitt Watch contest!

And the giveaway is over! Thank you for everyone who entered into the giveaway! I’ve had a lot of fun reading your entries and can’t wait to announce/contact the winner tomorrow morning! Come back by 11 am EST and you’ll find the winner of the first Brad Pitt Giveaway!

So how do you win? Easy!

Winner will be drawn by random draw using an online random drawing thingy (I’m so technical today) and will be announced the morning of Sunday the 27th!
Good luck! And don’t forget to visit the Bloggy Carnival for all of the great giveaways!
