Brad Pitt and his sons Maddox Chivan and Pax Thien took a break from hanging out with the smelly girls and the stinky babies to spend some quality male-bonding time together at the fun NYC restaurant Mars 2112 this weeked … here are a few photos of the Jolie-Pitt men making their way into the space-themed eatery yesterday afternoon:

This ain’t the first time the Jolie-Pitt men paid a visit to Mars … actually, this place is a fave of Maddox and Pax so Daddy Braddy makes a point to bring the kids for a visit on almost every visit to NYC. Now that Angelina Jolie will be working on her new film Salt in the NYC area in the coming weeks, perhaps the boys will become regulars at Mars 2112 as well. The place looks like fun … Brad is a great dad for indulging his kids like this :)

Taylor Kitsch, star of the NBC’s Little Engine that Could TV series Friday Night Lights and the upcoming superhero flick X-Men Origins: Wolverine, is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Men’s Health magazine. Considering that Kitsch is a studly certified personal trainer (which I did not know before reading this article), he seems the perfect kind of chap to be featured in this mag. Here is Taylor’s coverphoto and a portion of his coverstory:

Taylor Kitsch was a hockey player as he was growing up in Canada. Now he’s a certified personal trainer and plays a stud running back in Friday Night Lights. So he knows that conditioning means more than pushing iron at the gym, although he loves that, too. If he stuck to only one routine, he’d miss out on new ways to shape up. And he certainly wouldn’t have joined a down-and-dirty boxing gym in Austin, Texas, the city he calls home. But that’s where Kitsch, 28, now works out regularly. He ramped up his boxing while prepping for the role of Gambit, the card-throwing, combative mutant in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In the ring, he goes as hard as he can for 3 minutes, takes a minute off, and then repeats. This approach now infiltrates all of the actor’s cardio sessions, boxing or otherwise. “Keeping up that pace revs my metabolism and keeps it there all day,” says Kitsch. The result: more stamina, to be sure, but also cobblestone abs. Studies have shown that short interval training burns more fat than long, steady-state cardio sessions do. But you don’t have to don gloves to fortify your own workouts with the principles of pugilism. Just follow Kitsch’s model: high-intensity interval training; rapid-fire changes; and an emphasis on all-around conditioning. It works wonders for any sport, in any gym, with any workout.

Yeah, it sounds like a lot of hard work to get into shape … I’m glad I don’t have to bother with such nonsense. But I am very glad that hotties like Taylor Kitsch do worry about such things so … let’s read on. After the jump, check out another photo of Taylor from this issue of Men’s Health and learn his work-out tips so that YOU TOO can get into superhero shape …

Yesterday was full of errands here on the homefront so there isn’t much excitement to talk about. David’s friend Kurt arrived from NYC last night and after a short while of catching up, we made our way to Basix for a late-night dinner and decided to spend the rest of the night in. Kurt was a bit tired from his flight so we were cool with staying in … besides, it gave me the opportunity to watch Part I of the series finale of Battlestar Galactica:

The series will end next Friday night in the 2-hour, Part II of the finale. The show is so great, I’m really bummed that it’s ending. BUT, I have to say, there was much more excitement leading up to the “season finale” that we saw last year. As those shows winded down, the imminent discovery of their long-searched for goal was really very exciting. This time, the events leading up to the series finale aren’t so much exciting as they are enlightening. No matter how the show ends its run, I am very much looking forward to next week’s finale (which I’ll have to watch later since I’ll be at SXSW next weekend).

Not sure what’s on tap for today, I believe we’re doing dinner with a bunch of friends but beyond that, I dunno. The sun is finally shining this lovely PM … it looks like a great day to be outside.

As always, thank you all so much for your amazing photos. Much love and congrats goes out to Meg on her nuptials … I totally remember when she sent in her engagement pic a couple of years ago and I’m thrilled that she updated us with her wedding pic. Much love and best wishes on your new marriage!! Love and condolences goes out to Jaye on Red the Wonder Dog’s passing. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a pet like that, my thoughts are with you. Thank you all so much, again, for your amazing photos. Please keep them coming, they are always such a treat! XOXO

At the start of this week, we got a little bit o’ NSFWness from our dear Britney Spears when we got to see a photo of an unfortunate nip slip while she performed on the Atlanta, GA concert stage and then we got to hear her exclaiming to the entire performance arena in Tampa, FL that her “pussy was hangin’ out”. Well, today … we get a bit more NSFWness to have and behold. After Britney’s tour stops in Atlanta and Miami, she took a couple days off to relax with her children, Sean Preston and Jayden James, at a hotel resort in Florida to recharge her energy for the coming shows in the NYC area. While Britney was relaxing with Sean P. her “pussy” was, once again, hanging out of her bikini bottoms:

Now, I’m not entirely sure how something like this can happen without the poor girl realizing that her nether region was exposed (mebbe there was no breeze?) but there you have it. After the jump, check out the NSFW uncensored version of this photo ALONG WITH a very benign and fully clothed Britney surrounded by members of her dance troop at a bowling alley in New Jersey last night …

Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon have reunited in Europe this week after spending some time apart. Reese has been making the rounds in the European market to do promo work for her upcoming 3D animated film Monsters vs. Aliens (with one of her vocal co-stars, Kiefer Sutherland) while Jakey poo has been keeping himself bizzy here in SoCal with his spandex and his BFF Austin Nichols. HMMM. In any event, Jakey flew off to meet up with his “ladylove” (evident by all of the hand-holding) in Rome, Italy so that they could spend some time together shopping for toys and wine … behold:

Gak … I guess they do look kinda cute together with all the hand-holding and all the street strolling in the very romantic city of Rome. They do make a perfect picture of couplehood … all that is missing is the spark of passion that is never seen between these two. But, that is a tale for a different day. It is very nice that Jake made his way to Italy to spend some time with Reese … perhaps they’ll spend some of their time together feeding the pigeons and sharing gelato. So safe, so cute so … zzzzzzzzzzzzzz ;)
