Looks like James Haven is lending Brad a hand when it comes to corralling the punks! James showed up at the hospital bringing Maddox with him (who has the most awesome new haircut EVA - I wonder if Pax has the same one now!) The two visited Angelina and I’m sure a good time was had by all.
(There’s been a lot of talk around the net about James getting hot - he’s Angelina’s brother, how could he be anything but hot?!)
A French website, Pure People, is claiming that Angelina will give birth to the twins at Chateau Miraval. They claim that her doctor believes that it is safer for her to deliver at the Chateau, and has set up a room designed specifically for that purpose in the villa. Apparently all is in readiness if Angelina and Brad decide that they want to give birth in the nearby hospital as well.
I love, in that picture, how it looks as though Shiloh has spotted the paparazzi! You know what this means? When she’s a teenager she’ll be really good at avoiding them whenever she wants
Well, in a way they are, anyway. Angelina recently did an interview with MTV about Wanted - if you haven’t seen it yet, it is an amazing interview. In it she talks about a number of things, such as how it was to roll around with James McAvoy:
MTV: This is your first action flick since “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” I would think it’s a little different rolling around with James McAvoy than with Brad?
Jolie: Well, you know Brad was … [Laughs.] I’ll always prefer rolling around on the floor with him than any other man. You know, in general. [Laughs.]
And how it is working while taking care of the kids:
MTV: With all that’s going on with your family and your humanitarian work, is it harder to get up and go make a movie now?
Jolie: Yeah, it’s not the thing you love the most. I love being a mom and I do love traveling and the work I get to do with children in the field and with refugees. Brad and I take turns working. So instead of it being “I get to work next,” it’s “You have to work next, because it’s your turn. I’m staying home with the kids.”
And then there’s this little gem:
MTV: You show off a lot of tattoos in the film. Are they all yours?
Jolie: No, we added a bunch. I had “toil” and “tears” based on [Winston] Churchill’s speech. I had binary codes that are actually my kids’ initials. I have “strength of will” in four different languages. “Know your rights” in different languages. It’s things like that. Very few people pick up on it, but it was [something I did] for me.
Hmm, really? Let’s check this out, shall we?
Here’s a good pic that shows the tattoos fairly well! Now a closeup…
Are they really the initials? Here’s the alphabet in binary code:
A = 01000001 B = 01000010 C = 01000011 D = 01000100 E = 01000101 F = 01000110 G = 01000111 H = 01001000 I = 01001001 J = 01001010 K = 01001011 L = 01001100 M = 01001101 N = 01001110 O = 01001111 P = 01010000 Q = 01010001 R = 01010010 S = 01010011 T = 01010100 U = 01010101 V = 01010110 W = 01010111 X = 01011000 Y = 01011001 Z = 01011010
When you translate it it turns out to be: BP (Brad Pitt), ZM (Zahara Marley), PT (Pax Thien), MC (Maddox Chivan), and SN (Shiloh Nouvel).
How cool is that?!
If you’re looking for a new Wanted clip, head over to Empire - they’ve got a great one up!
No, these aren’t new pictures of the family (unfortunately - or fortunately, depending on how you look at it). They are pics of the boat trip that Brad, Angelina, Maddox and Pax took that I hadn’t seen before. How cute are these pics?!
Side Note - the lovely Lisa has reported that the address on Google Earth for Chateau Miraval is:
N 43 28′ 23″ E 6 O2′ 10″
Thanks for that Lisa! I wonder if this will be what is on Angie’s arm next?!
Happy Father’s Day to a wonderful father who doesn’t care if he’s a celebrity or not. Brad always takes time out to play with the kids and has become known as the “hauler”, lifting one in his arms whenever he can. He always spends a bit of special time with each child, and has adjusted to being a father of four (soon to be six) children better than most men would. I hope that Brad has a relaxing and enjoyable day playing with the kids!
Remember to click to biggify - it’s HUGE and makes a great background!
What’s this?! Looks like, for some reason or other, ambulance and the police showed up at Chateau Miraval today (or yesterday - or tomorrow - these France time zones really mess me up). Anyway, they were there just a short while ago. No one is quite sure why, at this point in time, but we have to remember that more than just Brad and Angelina are at the Chateau. I will keep an eye on the situation and will report whenever I hear something - and while I’m at it, I’ll hope and pray that everyone is alright!!
Entertainment Weekly, oh how I love thee! They have got an absolutely amazing interview of Angelina up! Apparently Angelina is not on bed rest, as the EW interviewer spoke with her at the Grand Hotel du Cap-Ferrat in the south of France for their interview (although no one necessarily knows when the interview took place - it could have taken place a few weeks ago). The photo of Angelina above is from the EW interview - the necklace she is wearing is actually from the picture Maddox drew of a machine gun! I love how Brad gives Angelina the most unique jewelry, don’t you? Here are a few excerpts from the interview:
Entertainment Weekly: Do you worry that people will have a hard time squaring this gun-toting character with your role as a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador? They do seem quite incongruous.
Angelina Jolie: I am a strong believer that without justice there is no peace. No lasting peace, anyway. I’m somebody who’s
very curious about the International Criminal Court and supportive of following through on the arrest warrants in Darfur. I’m not somebody that just wants to hold up a white flag and say, ”Let’s all just get along.” I think people that do horrible things should be held accountable. I don’t think like in Wanted — which is an action movie — people should [just] be killed. I think there should be trials and justice. But the idea behind Wanted is not that she’s a badass assassin that just likes to kill people.
It’s that, if you ran into Hitler before he did everything, and you knew, should you shoot him? And I would. These assassins are getting lists: They find out who is going to slaughter other people ahead of time and they remove them. So that was the side of me that identified with her. But it is a confusing thing, certainly for rights activists. Don’t read too much into it. I am holding a gun, but there are so many people that have done so many horrible things… Pol Pot died a grandfather in the jungle, most likely of old age. Never was punished for what he did.
Clint Eastwood is one of our most famous Republicans. Did you talk politics with him on the set?
Actually, we don’t disagree as much as you’d think. I think people assume I’m a Democrat. But I’m registered independent and I’m still undecided. So I’m looking at McCain as well as Obama. Clint can teach me about things domestically and I’m more aware of some things internationally. So it was less a debate and more things we found interesting. But for the first few weeks I was just too nervous to get into any deep conversation!
In many ways you’re a very polarizing figure. People either worship you or they can’t stand you. Have you thought about why that is?
I’d like to think it’s because I’m not neither here nor there in my life. I think anybody that makes a decision about where they stand is going to cause strong opinions about them. But I think that’s what you should be hoping for in life, so I take that as a very good sign. That some people support me and some people really don’t like me tells me that I’m making decisions and I’m standing strong for something I believe in. I’m making choices in life. And that’s the right thing to do.
Is there anything you’ve said that you wish you hadn’t? Like all that business about wearing the vial of Billy Bob Thornton’s blood around your neck when you two were married?
No! It was never a vial anyway. It was like a flower press. It was like from a slight cut on your finger and you press your fingerprint in. It was kind of a sweet gesture. I thought it was kind of romantic! I still love him dearly and think the world of him and I’m proud to have been his wife for a time. I don’t believe in regrets. It’s a dangerous habit to get into — it makes you pause in your life if you start thinking back and questioning yourself.
What would you say are the best and worst things about being pregnant?
It’s all just so nice. You just really can’t complain about anything as long as you know the babies are looking healthy. The only thing that’s hard for me now is with twins and having four kids, there’s a lot of the doctor saying ”Stop picking them up as much.” But we’ve worked out a system where Brad just lifts them to me every time they want to come up. I just don’t bend down. I’ll scream, ”Honey!” and he’ll come running and lift them up. Or they climb on chairs, so it’s not as big of a lift. So we’re trying to follow doctor’s orders, but I’m bending them a tiny bit.
What did you make of all the brouhaha over Jack Black’s spilling that you were having twins on the Today show?
Poor Jack! Immediately when he saw Brad, he apologized. But we both told him very clearly that we had only waited because, as you do with any baby, but especially twins, you wait until all results are in on their health, and that we were past that point and if somebody had asked me directly, I would have said yes. So he didn’t do anything but take the heat himself.
You and Brad aren’t married. How do you refer to each other?
We have that problem all the time. I say ”partner” sometimes. ”Father of my children” is too long. But half the time people refer to us as, ”So, your wife this, your husband that.” We’ve stopped correcting everybody. It’s not a big intentional thing not to marry. We immediately were a family when we became a couple, and children were the priority, and we’re both legally committed to the children. And that seemed to be the right thing.
What would be your ideal way to spend a free Saturday?
I have a lot of those. Very simple things. On weekends we usually have family sleep. We always have one night a week where everybody stays up late, watches a movie, and stays in our bed. We have, like, a slumber party.
Is there intense competition among the kids as to who sleeps where?
Yeah, but it’s funny: The boys tend to want to be near Mommy and the girls tend to want to be near Daddy. So it works out nicely.

Wow! Angelina got a lot of extremely beautiful flowers for her birthday yesterday! The paparazzi may not be able to get into Chateau Miraval (which is where these flowers were delivered to), but they can get some photos. A large boquet of flowers was delivered to Chateau Miraval, but before it got to Angelina had to be checked through security. Angelina not only got a delivery of flowers, she got a delivery of french fries and salad the day before as well. Pregnancy cravings anyone?! When I was pregnant with my son I craved pizza and Eggos, and with my daughter it was pickles and grapes! Looks like one twin likes fried food while the other will be a bit more into the natural food, or at least we can make that guess!
MSNBC once again starts rumors to rolling. They’re firstly claiming that Brad was spotted in Switzerland on June 3rd making a large furniture purchase. According to the news website, Brad purchased:
$293,000 for a marble table by designer Jeroen Verhoeven, ordered a rug made of aluminum thread that sells at $175 per square foot, and is considering purchasing a gold lacquer-coated fiberglass sofa by Zaha Hadid that will run him $300,000, two Ron Arad chairs that certainly were not cheap (a hint: some outlets sell the chairs for $25,000 each) and the “Family Lamp” by Atelier van Lieshout. Total price for the two-hour shopping trip? At least $500,000, according to the organizer, possibly more.
Gossip queen Courtney Hazlett also makes comments about how the twin’s birth rumors will persist until Angelina is spotted (hint - if she’s on bed rest, she won’t be spotted!).
To begin with, my lovely Isa made a comment yesterday about the Vanity Fair interview that Angelina did a short time ago. There are tons of beautiful photos and the interview is great. You know that I’m never one to do the norm, so instead of the photos, here’s a YouTube version of the interview!
Jack Black, the lovely actor who slipped and let the world know about Angelina’s twins, said in an interview to Extra that he honestly didn’t realize that the twins were not common knowledge.
“Then I thought [the twins news] was common knowledge.” but was Angelina upset that he let the news slip? “She was relieved because she and Brad didn’t want to hold in the secret.” the actor said. And a belated CONGRATULATIONS to Jack and his beautiful wife Tanya on the birth of their second baby, a son named Jack.
Now on to ET. As everyone knows a week or so ago ET made a huge, HUGE mistake. They swore that Angelina and Brad’s twins had been born and set the entire internet into a frenzy. They have now commented on this gigantic mistake and here is what they have to say:
“This is an absolutely huge, huge story for us,” said Sarah Ivens, editor in chief of OK! magazine. “Essentially you have two of the most beautiful, famous people in the world. We’ve all seen they’ve had one baby, Shiloh, and it is the coolest, most adorable baby on the planet. And this time they’re having two? It can’t get any better.”
It was “pandemonium” at the offices of Us Weekly when the “Entertainment Tonight” report was posted, said Dina Sansing, the magazine’s entertainment director.
People magazine was first to report that the story was not true. Us Weekly checked its own sources and concluded the same, Sansing said.
On Monday, Jolie’s attorneys advised news organizations that someone was posing as Holly Goline, Jolie’s personal assistant, and had sent out false information about the movie star. The source for the “Entertainment Tonight” report was an e-mail supposedly from Goline, said an executive at the show who did not want to be identified for competitive reasons.
Was “Entertainment Tonight” punk’d? Perhaps not, the executive said.
The show initiated its own contact with Goline after hearing rumors the babies had been born in France, said the executive. The person who made the contact was an “ET” producer who had worked with Goline while at CNN and kept Goline’s e-mail address, the executive said. The executive forwarded an e-mail exchange that appeared to support this version of events.
In the e-mails, Goline - or the impostor - said she was there for the deliveries and everyone was doing well. Pressed by “ET” for more information, the person said she could say no more.
“Entertainment Tonight” had removed its story from its Web site after the questions were raised. No mention was made of the story on Monday’s show.
“Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are friends of ‘Entertainment Tonight.’ We have spent years cultivating that friendship, working with them side by side on many of their projects,” Linda Bell Blue, executive producer for “Entertainment Tonight” and its sister broadcast, “The Insider,” said in a statement Monday. “We wish them and their children well. We are waiting to see how this story plays out.”
Does this sound like an apology to any of you? It doesn’t to me! Why can’t they come out and say, “we erred and would like to apologzie to the entire Jolie-Pitt family”? Is that too difficult?! And why are they saying that Shiloh is the “coolest, most adorable baby on the plant”? Hello! They’ve got three other children who, in my eyes, are just as adorable and cool. What do you think of ET’s “apology”?
This weekend I had two sick children and a young, defiant 8 year old who we were taking care of as respite. And oh, boy, was she defiant. Here, however, the rules were outlined for her and she quickly realized that she could have a lot more fun here with the other children as long as she behaved. Her mother was very surprised at how well she behaved and we all hope that she is learning how to handle her daughter a bit more.
The situation, however, caused me to avoid the computer most of the weekend, and when I do, I find these!!! Brad and Maddox squelched labor rumors entirely when they showed up at the MotoGP Italian Grand Prix that was held in Mugello, Italy. The duo checked out the racers (wearing ear protection, of course), and Brad apparently even talked to the cameras with Maddox by his side - I say apparently because the video has been unloadable for me right now. I’ll check it again in the morning, but please go over now and let me know if it works! You can see the video of Maddox and Brad here.
X17 is reporting that the reason we haven’t seen Angelina and Brad is not becuase they are planning for their move to Chateau Miraval, but is because Angelina is on prescribed bedrest for the last 4 weeks of her pregnancy.
This wouldn’t be unusual, especially as she’s carrying twins, but is the story true? Who knows! I guess only time will tell…but either way, I hope that everyone is happy and healthy!!
Happy birthday Shiloh! We at Brad Pitt Watch hope that your day is filled with tons of balloons, games, presents, and good times with your mom, dad, and siblings!
As always, click on the collage to see it in high def!
Today I have for you some random photos that were taken recently of the family - I was going to put up a huge post about how Angelina and Brad are both wearing beautiful rings on their right hands, but:
1 - I didn’t want to start the “wedding” rumors again, because, frankly, I no longer care if they get married or not (don’t get me wrong, I’ll be excited if they do get married, but I’ll be just as happy if they aren’t.
2 - I found that I was a moron and left my daughter’s jacket at a fast food restaurant that is 15 minutes away from here last night - her brother’s jacket is still missing (I could never travel as much as Brad and Angelina do - I’d lose everything!), so I must run and get that and curse at the price of gas.
3 - I just discovered that one of our malamute puppies ate part of an extension cord that was left outside…still plugged in. *sigh* - at least it was my husband’s dog so he can’t get too mad - I must now try to figure out how to keep the dog from becoming dinner meat…
So enjoy the photos!
Some adorable photos of Brad and Shiloh as they were leaving the toy store the other day (BAD PAPARAZZI! Stay away from the kiddos, will ya?!)
Brad and Angelina took some more time off together - this time to go toy shopping! My guess? They’re shopping for Shiloh’s birthday, which is on Tuesday. Brad looks a bit annoyed that the paps found them, and…what kind of ring is that on his hand? I know it’s his right hand, but still…
I love the readers that come regularly to this site - seriously! The other day I was kind of down about something and contacted a long time reader. She sent back some very inspirational words and was extremely sweet! So I want to send out a personal thank you - you know who you are :).
I also love when you guys contact me and tell me about pictures or stories that I may have missed (the internet is a vast place). The lovely Isa sent me this wonderful photo of Maddox and a pidgeon! How adorable is this?! Thank you so much Isa!
You guys are the reason that I keep doing this site, so thank you for always being amazing!
