Brad Pitt Watch

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?!)

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!

AOL has released their list of the top 15 celebrity fathers out there. Guess who topped the chart? BRAD! Brad was listed as their number one celebrity dad, and it’s no wonder! Brad makes sure that he is completely involved with the kiddos, taking time to play with them and talk to them as all good dads should. Congratulations Brad and Happy Father’s Day a few days early!

The entire list is:

1. Brad Pitt - Huzzah!
2. David Beckham - Good one
3. Johnny Depp - I’ve never seen him with his kiddos, but I’d guess he’d be a great dad
4. Will Smith - Another good choice
5. Matt Damon - I’d bet he’s good too!
6. Ryan Phillipe - We’ve all seen Ryan with his kiddos
7. Ben Affleck - Ben? He’s probably a great dad! And husband!
8. Joel Madden - New dad - we’ll have to keep an eye on him to see how good he is.
9. Seal - Seal has taken his wife’s daughter as his own - an awesome dad in my book
10. Patrick Dempsey - I’ve never really seen Patrick with his kids, have you?
11. Barack Obama - I’ll say it right now - I’m voting for Barack!
12. Gavin Rossdale - Gavin is always hovering near Gwen and Kingston
13. Tom Cruise - Okay - wait - TOM?! I’m going to have to disagree with this one…I can think of tons of people who deserve this spot more than he does
14. Tobey Maguire - Haven’t seen Tobey much with his child…have you?
15. Mark Consuelos - Eh?! Who’s that?! Isn’t he a baseball player or something?

Also good to note - Sherry has got a story up about Angelina and St. John parting ways. Head on over and check it out!

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.

Oh my gosh - the biceps! I’m a sucker for biceps!

Once again, the wonderful Isa has found a great article written by Christina Crawford, Joan Crawford’s adopted daughter, that slams celebrity adoptions.

If you haven’t seen, or heard of Mommie Dearest yet, Mommie Dearest is a book written by Christina that was made into a film. It talks about how Joan Crawford adopted her four children only as a publicity stunt, and that she abused the children behind closed doors.

In order to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the book’s release, Christina talked a bit about something she knows a bit about - celebrity adoptions.

“I have tremendous concerns about celebrity adoptions by people like Madonna and Angelina Jolie. From the adoptee’s point of view, it is vitally important to know who they are, where they came from, or it can have profound medical and psychological effects.”

Angelina and Brad have made it clear that they want their children to know where they come from. They celebrate all of the holidays from their cultures and even try the foods.

I can’t talk about all celebrity adoptions, but I can say one thing for sure - Angelina and Brad have never adopted a child for a publicity stunt, and, in my eyes, Christina needs to retract her statement, as it is very slanderous.

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?!)

Maddox taking a dip on Tuesday! So cute!

The ring?

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!

Brad (decked out in a new hat) and Angelina took Maddox and Shiloh out shopping yesterday (or today - the time change thing still messes me up) at Bonpoint in Cannes. It looks like Shiloh had a grand old time running around the store with Mommy chasing after her, and Maddox looked to be much admired by the store people! Looks like they all had a really good time shopping, and aren’t those clothes adorable?!

Remember, we’ll be seeing more of Angelina and Brad tomorrow as Angie does some press for The Changeling…actually, it may be early in the morning when we get the pics as the time is SO different! (If someone can help me figure out how that works, I’d be grateful!)

At this point neither Angelina or Brad have confirmed that they’re even pregnant, much less whether they are expecting one baby or two. Is the couple expecting twins?

According to the gossip around the net, Jack Black let the news slip that Angie and Brad were expecting twins. Angelina then confirmed it herself. The interview is apparently going to be aired by Access Hollywood this evening. I won’t believe it until I hear it out of Angelina’s mouth, but you can bet your bottom that I’ll be glued to Access Hollywood tonight, and I’ll let you know the SECOND I hear her say something about it!

And here’s a cute gratuitous picture of Maddox being swung by his parents.

Brad, Angie, Maddox, and Pax hit the high seas in order to take a spin on Paul Allen’s yacht.

Wait - Paul Allen’s yacht. Does that sound familiar?

You’d think that MSNBC.com would be a great website to go to if you were looking to hear the facts. This morning, however, there is a strange story up about Brad and Angie taking Maddox and Pax to see the ultrasound on Mother’s day. Could this rumor be in response to the helicopter pictures of Brad, Maddox, and Pax?

I love the idea that Brad and Angie probably brought the kids to see the ultrasound. The story, however, goes on to say:

“Angie was due for a scan and they thought it would be cool to do it on Mother’s Day and take Maddox and Pax along to see the twins for themselves on the sonogram machine.”

This little tidbit apparently came from a family insider - but the family insider didn’t tell it to MSNBC, they instead told it to E! News.

So what does that mean?

It means that you should never trust MSNBC.com for your gossip needs, as they get their information from the same place that the rest of us do. The next thing you know they’ll be quoting dlisted.com, Just Jared, or maybe, even Brad Pitt Watch?! Hmmm…

There are some weeks where there are very few stories about Brad and Angie and their family going around. Then there are weeks when I switch the computer on and my inbox is bombarded! This afternoon, photos surfaced of Angelina, Shiloh, and Zahara in, what I’m told is Monoco. It looks like Shiloh and Zahara attended a ballet class, although I’m sure at their age its more about having fun than learning difficult moves.

Both girls look absolutely adorable in their ballet costumes - this is the first time I’ve seen all three in black! Angelina then went shopping at a local childrens clothing store and had some cuddle time with Shiloh.

And Brad was seen taking a little helicopter ride with Maddox and Pax! Looks like the girls are taking some time together and the boys are too! I haven’t seen any great pics yet of Maddox and Pax, but these pics of Brad show off his Sanskrit tattoos very nicely!

Make sure you click on the photo collage - it’s fairly large. And Happy Mother’s Day!

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!
