Brad Pitt Watch

And this is one reason that I love writing about this family - I’m sure if Brad and Angelina knew about this, they’d be laughing hysterically.

Let me set the scene:

The paparazzi are staked out in front of the hospital, trying to get pictures of Angelina. Suddenly a woman shows up in a window. The paparazzi are fairly sure they know which window Angelina is in, and when they see this woman they believe it may be her. The woman then lifts up her shirt and proceeds to show her pregnant belly to the photographers, as if to show the world that yes, she is still pregnant.

But wait…is that Angelina?

Hmmm, I think not! Angelina has a very large, very noticable tattoo on her lower belly…like so:

Meanwhile, Brad has been visiting Angelina with the kiddos - I haven’t seen pics of Maddox and Pax visiting yet, but I’m sure that they are. I’ve been in the hospital while I was pregnant and my firstborn was at home, and its torture! You want to be with them, but you need to focus on the new baby (or, in Angelina’s case, babies) as well, and so when your child visits you’re trying to give them all the love you can for their short visit…I hope that she doesn’t have to deal with this separation for too long!

Rumors are flying that Zahara may have a broken arm due to the picture that was taken of her and her sister and mother on the veranda of their home the other day. I don’t believe that she has a broken arm…here is a picture of her at the beach a bit over a month ago, and beside it the picture of her the other day. This dresses look fairly similar, only the one she wore the other day had little sleeves on it.

She’s wearing a long sleeved white shirt, I believe, and I don’t think that she has a broken arm. What do you think?

Can you tell I got bored this evening?

Weeks of not seeing her, of dealing with bed rest and birth rumors, and we’ve finally got a shot of Angelina! It looks like she was outside playing with Zahara and Shiloh - I’m not sure who the older man is…Brad’s father? A doctor? It’s kind of hard to tell with how blurry these are - they came from Entertainment Tonight, when they flashed a picture of the In Touch magazine (you can bet these pics will be in their next magazine).

Wow. Angelina is HUGE! Those babies are definitely making their presence known! Seeing her like this makes it very obvious that she is definitely having twins. I, for one, am just happy that everyone looks happy and healthy! Looking at how large she’s gotten, I would also hazard a guess that she’s due fairly soon! All I know is that its just nice to see her and the girls happy and healthy.

Happy Father’s Day!

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!

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.

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!

Hey guys! I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing weekend! There are a few photos from this weekend that I caught but didn’t really get a chance to put up, so I figured Monday morning would be the perfect time to get a glimpse of the Jolie-Pitt family enjoying their weekend.

Looks like Shiloh is beginning to learn how to swim! Cameras caught her with some water wings on in mommy’s arms. Other photos show Brad and Zahara getting into the action too. I LOVE the last photo of Angelina and Brad hugging!

Awww! Water wings! How sweet is this?!

Just too cute!

They look to be really enjoying the warm weather in France!

So much in love!

On Sunday Angelina took Pax to the doctors in Grasse, France. Don’t worry! Sources are saying that it was just for a routine check up. After the visit Angie and Pax hit the McDonalds drive-thru for some yummy greasy food. I wonder if the McDonalds in France is as greasy as the McDonalds here? Hmmm… I’m not very happy with these photographers, though, as it looks like they got really, really close to the van. Otherwise, its a great pic.

Enjoy your Monday everyone!

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.

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!

France has some pretty strict laws about what the paparazzi are and are not allowed to do. Apparently, however, some member of the paparazzo were able to get some shots of Angie, Brad, and the kiddos at their villa in France. I feel bad putting these up, but I am very happy that it looks like they are enjoying themselves. And does Brad go nowhere without his hat? It also looks like we get to see pics of the new Nanny…I’ve never seen her before, have you?

And have you seen the villa they’re stying in? Oh lord I’d LOVE to just tour it, let alone stay in it!

Enjoy the photos Jolie-Pitt fans, and have a great weekend!

Looks like Brad and Angie took the kiddos to the movie theater the other day!

Guesses around the net are that they took Zahara, Maddox, and Pax to see either Horton Hears a Who or Nim’s Island. I’m guessing, since they brought Zahara, that it was Horton Hears a Who.

“But where is Shiloh?” Everyone is asking where the smallest Jolie-Pitt is. My guess? At home taking a nap. Have you ever tried to bring a toddler to the movie theater? No.Thank.You. Little ones don’t have the patience to sit through a whole movie, and they shouldn’t!

It doesn’t mean, however, that the family doesn’t veg out occasionally and watch a movie at home with everyone. Add in a bit of popcorn and some snacks and you’ve got a great family evening!

Just plain and simple pics! While the flu bug rages through our household, I’ve managed to steal a few hours away from tending to my sick seven year old in order to catch up with our favorite family!

Looks like Brad and Angie got out with the three oldest children yesterday. They stopped at a Shell for some snacks and a few other stores!

Looks like Maddox is learning how to spend/save his own money! He walked out of a GameStop (one of my favorite stores) with a package and his wallet! I wonder what game he bought! If he’s a Nintendo/Mario fan, hopefully it’s Super Smash Bros. Brawl - that game is seriously awesome.

Looks like Angie, on the other hand, stopped at a GNC. We don’t have those around here - do they sell prenatal vitamins at a GNC? She looks absolutely stunning and extremely healthy! Enjoy the photos Jolie-Pitt fans!

I guess the paparazzi were a bit slow this past week too! A few pictures have just surfaced of Angie taking Zahara to a toy store known as the Party Pig in Texas last Wednesday. Usually they’re up in a matter of hours, but I guess the paps wanted a little vacation too. Angie doesn’t look too impressed in these pics - probably due to the paparazzi, and Princess Zee is, as always adorable! Enjoy the photos!
