Sneak Peek: Brad's Private Photos of Angelina
It's been close to three months since Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie made headlines with the birth of their golden twins, Knox and Vivienne, and then disappeared underground—or at least to a château in France.
Now they've resurfaced in an ultrarevealing (at least for Angie) new photo spread for W's November issue, featuring the new mom breast-feeding one of her babies. The 21 pics were apparently shot by Brad while the fam was holed up at Château Miraval.
So what does the interview reveal?
Brad & Angie Back in France After Political Pitstop
Quicker than you can say jambalaya, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their crew dashed in—and out—of the Big Easy.
After popping into New Orleans a couple of days ago, the family has already touched down again in France, apparently catching a red-eye flight Tuesday evening. But while speedy, friends of the dynamic duo say the couple had a very specific purpose for their N'Awlins visit.
"First, Brad wanted to check on the progress of the houses being built in the Ninth Ward," says a New Orleans activist, referring to the low-income neighborhood devastated by Katrina and being rebuilt with the help of Brad's charity, Make It Right. About 90 houses are under construction, but Brad hopes to increase the number to 150 total.
But that's not all…
Brangelina Lands in the Big Easy
The Crescent City is seeing stars again.
Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and three of their kids were spotted in New Orleans Monday after stopping in New York over the weekend for the Changeling premiere.
Brangelina Back in the States
The Big Apple just got a whole lot bigger.
Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their Brady Bunch-size brood touched down in New York City Thursday morning, where Angie is set to walk the red carpet this weekend for the premiere of her upcoming drama, Changeling.
The clan's arrival marks the first time the actress has been in the U.S. since giving birth in July to the couple's twins in the south of France.
The Jolie-Pitt fam recently set up temporary residence at the Palais Parkschloss villa in Berlin while daddy works on Quentin Tarantino's war epic, Inglorious Bastards.
Lets hope Hollywood's first family doesn't stay away so long before their next visit stateside.
Rate-a-Trailer: Making a Case for Benjamin Button
The latest trailer for Brad Pitt's upcoming flick The Curious Case of Benjamin Button has just been released, and we found that the more we watched it and the more we thought about the movie's premise of a guy who is born old and ages backward, the more our heads hurt trying to figure out the logic behind it all.
But then we decided to stop overanalyzing and simply appreciate what appears to be a truly beautiful film based on a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald and helmed by Pitt's Fight Club director, David Fincher.
So what do you think? Will audiences embrace this fantasy-drama, or will it just end up pushing people's, er, buttons?
Brad Pitt Shells Out in Support of Gay Marriage
Brad Pitt must have really burned after reading about Prop 8.
The actor-activist has donated $100,000 to fight an initiative to ban gay marriage that is headed for the November ballot in California.
If approved, Proposition 8 would overturn the California Supreme Court's landmark May ruling that it is unconstitutional to prevent gay couples from swapping vows.
And Pitt—who along with Angelina Jolie drew a few raised eyebrows after saying that they have no intention of tying the knot until everyone in the United States has the same right—wants to make sure that California, at least, remains a place where anyone can say "I do" and have it stick.
Cyber Crooks Get Over Paris, Move On to Brad
Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse are old news. At least to spammers, phishers and other online villains, who have attached their hopes—and pop-up ads—to Brad Pitt, Heidi Montag and George Clooney.
Pitt, Montag and Clooney are among the stars currently most used by cyber tricksters to lure users to sites rife with spyware, viruses and other system-clogging junk, according to the Internet security company McAfee.
Spears, Hilton and Winehouse are among the stars who used to be hot and now are not.
"We know in general that the bad guys are going for the most popular celebrities," says McAfee research analyst Shane Keats. "And we know Paris Hilton has not been as much in the news this year as last year."
Brangelina, Britney, Oprah Go on (World) Record
Thank goodness for Guinness—without it, we'd have to rely on Forbes' constantly churned-out star rankings for Hollywood's most up-to-date superlatives.
The Guinness World Records 2009 is out with the latest batch of milestone markers, and, as with seemingly every other Tinseltown-skewing list out there, the phenomenon that is Brangelina has come out tops.
Not to be outdone, Britney Spears, Oprah Winfrey, Miley Cyrus and even Amy Winehouse hit the record books this year, albeit somewhat surprisingly in one or two cases, for good behavior.
Got Pitt? Got Box Office
There was nothing wrong with the box office that a little Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Tyler Perry, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Meg Ryan and Annette Bening couldn't fix.
A squadron of star-powered movies helped Hollywood recover from one of its worst weekends in years. And while no one film was all that big, together, they were big enough.
Joel and Ethan Coen's Burn After Reading, featuring Pitt and Clooney, finished first with $19.4 million, per studio estimates compiled today by Exhibitor Relations.
Jolie-Pitts Donate $2 Million to Create Ethiopian Health Center
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may have newborn twins and four other children to care for, but that doesn't stop them from looking after hundreds of thousands of children in Ethiopia, too.
The Jolie-Pitt Foundation made a $2 million donation to the Global Health Committee on Saturday to create a center for AIDS- and tuberculosis-affected children in Ethiopia. The center will be named after the couple's daughter Zahara, 3, who was adopted from the African nation in 2005.
"It is our hope when Zahara is older, she will take responsibility of the clinic and continue its mission," Pitt said in a statement announcing the donation.
Vivienne & Knox: Most Likely to Be...
We've done all the other Brangelina kids this past week, so we can’t really leave out the twins, Vivienne and Knox. Only problem is, these babies are 2 months old, so it’s a little hard to tell where exactly they’re going.
We were going to say they’ll probably star in a sitcom, set up their own media corporation, become CEOs at 18 and then fashion icons who purse their lips too much. But we don’t know if the Olsen model fits every pair of twins.
So we’ll just go with something generic like Most Likely to Be Harassed by the Paparazzi More Than Any Other Celebrity's Kids. Ever.
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt: Most Likely to Be...
Shiloh was already under huge pressure before she'd even arrived. News of Brangelina spawning their firstborn had us squirming in anticipation at the sight of what might be the most attractive person ever to walk the Earth.
It was a dubious honor for Shiloh to have bestowed on her. But we expect Shiloh will challenge herself, knowing she's more than her exterior. And one day, while sitting in an architecturally sophisticated yet highly uncomfortable chair her father purchased years earlier and listening to her mother work out travel arrangements for visiting a U.N. refugee camp, she'll realize her path.
It's our guess that path will lead Shiloh to become a much-sought-after architect/civil engineer, one who specializes in building new housing in the corners of the world most in need of a fresh start. And nothing could be more attractive than that.
