Earlier this week Angelina Jolie surprised the folks at the Hollywood Film Festival by making a surprise appearance to honor her Changeling director Clint Eastwood. Ange managed to sneak her way into the country to appear at the gala this week but it was unclear if she snuck into town by herself or with her pretend-hubby Brad Pitt. Today we have new photos that claim to be of Brad Pitt upon arrival at LAX Airport yesterday afternoon …

… and while this guy looks like he could be Brad I’m not entirely convinced. It’s possible that Brad has lost a bit of weight while working on the new Quentin Tarantino film Inglourious Basterds which is currently being filmed in Germany but … I dunno. What do y’all think … is this really Brad Pitt as is claimed by the photo agency? If so, are we feelin’ the porn’stache?

After their

Angelina Jolie and sons Maddox Chivan and Pax Thien joined dad Brad Pitt for an afternoon of playtime at a 9th Ward Housing Project in New Orleans, LA yesterday. The fam did not let the light rain spoil any of their playground fun … here are a few pics of Ange, Brad, Maddox and Pax at one of the newly erected playgrounds in a reconstructed area of the 9th Ward:

The fam didn’t spent too much time enjoying the playground, in fact, the family didn’t spend too much time in New Orleans, LA overall. They have already packed up and made their way back to their new home in Nice, France. Here are a few pics of the entire Brangelina brood upon arrival in Nice this morning:

You may recall that the family made their way to NYC late last week and then to New Orleans a couple of days ago and they are now already back in Nice. I wondered if they were planning on spending some time back here in the US so I guess I got my answer … nope, they really only flew back to the US to take care of some biz in New York and Louisiana and, once completed, returned to their French estate. Well, it was nice having them back on US soil, if for a short time. I suspect they won’t be back again until duty calls once again.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt walked the red carpet at the New York Film Festival premiere of her new movie Changeling on Sunday night and it turns out that Ange used the occasion to show off her two newest tattoos. Angelina already has the longitude and latitude coordinates of the birthplaces of her other children and added new coordinates for the birthplace of her twin babies Vivienne Marcheline & Knox Léon who were born in Nice, France on July 12:

Not only did Angelina Jolie debut her post-twins baby bod this weekend in NYC, she also showed off some new ink. The actress has added two tattoos on her left arm to show the longitudinal and latitudinal location of Nice, France, where Knox and Vivienne were born in July. They are located directly below four similar lines of coordinates that represent the birth places of daughter Shiloh, who was born in Namibia; Pax, who was adopted from Vietnam; Maddox, who is from Cambodia, and daughter Zahara, who is Ethiopian. “Everybody’s great,” Jolie told reporters at Saturday’s NYC Changeling premiere. “The babies are good, getting big and healthy and developing their personalities.” Is she getting much sleep these days? “We are a little bit,” she said. “We have a few nights where we get some help, so on those nights we catch up on our sleep.” Her tip for looking so sexy weeks after giving birth? “A good dress,” the Versace-clad actress told Usmagazine.com

Hee hee, at the rate that Brangelina are raking in the kids, she’s gonna have a full arm-sleeve of tattoos in no time. Brad didn’t stay in NYC for long, he has already made his way down South to New Orleans, LA where he was spotted riding a bike to a business meeting yesterday afternoon:

I believe that Angelina and the kids are still in NYC. It’s clear that Brad has a deep love for New Orleans, which is obvious from how much time he spends there. It remains to be seen whether the Brangelina brood will join him in New Orleans or if Brad with rejoin them in NYC. One thing’s for sure, tho, this family doesn’t stay stationary for long. I’m sure they’ll be popping up someplace new very soon.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt who, as you may recall, relocated their family to NYC earlier this week made a red carpet appearance at the New York Film Festival in NYC last night for the premiere of Ange‘s new movie Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood. Here are a few pics of the happy couple (and Clint) on the red carpet last night, which marks the first time Brangelina attended a public event together since the birth of their twins back in July:

Having landed in New York earlier in the week, Angelina Jolie arrived with Brad PItt and walked the red carpet at the New York Film Festival for Saturday night’s premiere of her movie Changeling, a 1920′s thriller directed by Clint Eastwood. Asked if she felt nervous to be back in the spotlight, Jolie told PEOPLE, “Not nervous as much as I just took a deep breath because it¹s been so long. It felt a little strange.” The Manhattan visit marks the first time since the birth of their twins, Vivienne and Knox, that Jolie and Pitt have been in the city with their children. “Everybody’s great,” she told PEOPLE. “The babies are getting big and healthy and developing personalities.” As for being in the city that never sleeps, Jolie, 33, said, “We are a little bit [sleep deprived]. We have some help a couple of nights a week, so on those nights we catch up on our sleep.” Still, as ever, she looked ravishing – decked out in an Atelier Versace dress, Sergio Rossi shoes and Mikimoto pearl earrings and ring – after a day of taking her three eldest kids (Zahara, Maddox and Pax Thien) to Lee’s Art Store midtown, while Brad went downtown to see photographer Jerry Spagnoli at his studio. “I run around with all the other kids, and I’m breastfeeding, which I think is a part of your body’s recovery,” Jolie said. “I feel great [and] feel very happy that they’re healthy.”

You gotta love that no matter her commitments, no matter how bizzy her schedule is, Angelina (and Brad, actually) makes sure to carve out time to spend with her children doing stuff that is fun for them. After the jump, check out a few pics of Ange and the kiddies making their way out of Lee’s Art Store early yesterday afternoon …

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, with their kiddies in tow, have returned to the US en masse for the first time since the twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Léon were born back on July 12 (ahem, which is my birthday as well ;). Angelina is planning to walk the red carpet at the New York Film Festival this weekend so she decided to pack up all the kids and temporarily relocate the fam to New York. Here are pics of Brad, Ange, Zahara Marley, Shiloh Nouvel and either Vivienne or Knox (presumably Maddox and Pax were with them as well) sneakily making their way into their Manhattan hotel last night:

The Jolie-Pitt bunch is back in the U.S.A. For the first time since the birth of twins Vivienne and Knox, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are in New York City with their kids. Jolie plans to walk the red carpet at the New York Film Festival on Oct. 4 for the premiere of her movie The Changeling, a 1920s-set thriller directed by Clint Eastwood. The couple and their six children set up house last month in a lakeside villa in Berlin, where they are living while Pitt films Quentin Tarantino’s World War II thriller Inglorious Bastards. Pitt, 44, missed the German premiere of his movie Burn After Reading on Oct. 1 to accompany Jolie, 33, back to the States.

It’s unclear how long the Jolie-Pitts plan to stay in the US but I would guess they’re here for some time. I don’t know that Angelina would bring the entire family to NYC if she wasn’t planning on sticking around for a while (after all, she could’ve flown in for the film festival all by herself). While I’m sure the Brangelina brood have been enjoying their time in France, I think it’s great that they’ve returned home to the US, even if for a short time. Welcome home, y’all.

Lego Building Blocks is celebrating the 30th anniversary of their minifigures this year and in celebration, Lego has come up with a few cute little celebrity incarnations of their famous little Lego people. Normally yellow, these celebrity Lego people are flesh-toned and, in my estimation, are pretty damn good representations of the celebrities they portray … here are the Lego versions of Vicki B. & David Beckham, Madonna, Amy Winehouse, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and the twins Vivienne Marcheline & Knox Léon Jolie-Pitt:

Lego, the Danish plastic toy firm is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the introduction of the minifigure. It has launched a website with videos and photos and is encouraging enthusiasts to enter a movie making contest to show their own interpretation of the minifigures’ adventures. The minifigure started off in 1978 as a largely featureless yellow figure but has since evolved to include realistic characteristics including skin colour and facial hair. The plastics toy firm has also produced ‘famous’ minifigure versions of characters from the big screen such as Spiderman, Darth Vader and Indiana Jones. Last month Lego announced that its half year profits have more than doubled, partly due to the success of its classic and movie/celebrity contracts.

I’m a BIG Legos fan from way back in the day. Nothing would give me more pleasure than building a model out of Legos and then smashing that model onto the tiled floor of our basement so that it would break into hundreds of pieces. Unfortch, I would smash the models so hard that some of the Lego blocks would break and my mom stopped buying them for me … but it was fun while it lasted. I think it’s awesome that Legos is having this much fun with the 30th anniversary of their minifigures. I know there are some Lego fans out there who prolly appreciate this as well, yes? So cute! My fave is the Becks one ;)

Here are a few pics of Brad Pitt and his eldest daughter Zahara Marley as they made their hasty way across the tarmac to catch a flight over the weekend … the look on Zahara‘s face is TOO PRICELESS not to post:

I swear to the gods above, I love me some Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt. That little girl looks like she is 4 seconds away from snapping and opening a can of whoop-ass on the poor soul who gets in her way or is fool enough to cross her. Z is a queen, you best bow down y’all.

Brad Pitt (who was spotted in Venice, Italy yesterday with his two oldest sons), George Clooney, Tilda Swinton and the Coen brothers were all on hand for a photocall/premiere event at the Venice Film Festival earlier today to promote their new movie Burn After Reading. Here are a few pics from the event red carpet:

Burn After Reading looks like a pretty good film … I mean, the Coens are pretty amazing filmmakers and the cast is really superb (mainly, I’m most excited about Tilda Swinton and Frances McDormand). It’s been ages since we’ve seen Brad Pitt in any kind of humorous film … I hope it’s as good as it appears from the trailer.

Speaking of Mr. Pitt, he and Mr. Clooney had themselves a little fun with the personal questions that were lobbed at them left and right at a press conference:

Reporters at a Burn After Reading press conference Wednesday in Venice, Italy, didn’t seem to care too much about the new comedy. Instead, they wanted to talk babies and marriage with the film’s stars Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Is it better to win an Oscar or fall in love with a beautiful woman, one reporter asked Pitt. “Brad, don’t answer that,” Clooney quipped. When a Hong Kong TV channel reporter asked Pitt if his twins look more like him or Angelina Jolie, Clooney stepped in again. “The twins are fine,” he said, according to Reuters. Does Clooney have any plans to settle down and have kids himself, another journalist asked. “I am so surprised to hear that question. That is honestly the first time I’ve been asked that question,” he joked. “I am getting married and having children today. Brad?” Replied Pitt, “And until then I’ll be sharing mine with him. I’ll have two more by next year.” Pitt made his first public post-twin appearance with Clooney Tuesday night at a Not On Our Watch fundraiser at Venice’s Giudecca island.

Yeah, you think Brad is kidding? I wouldn’t blink an eye if the Brangelina brood did, in fact, expand next year. It’s about time the fam got back to adoptin’ orphans, right?

Brad Pitt and his eldest sons, Maddox and Pax, have made their way to Venice, Italy for the Venice Film Festival where Brad will be on hand to help promote his new movie Burn After Reading (which also stars Brad‘s BFF George Clooney). Here are pics of thePitt boys making their way thru the streets/canals of Venice earlier today:

Maddox was proudly showing off his new blue ‘do. That mohawk is his staple, he looks intent on rockin’ it hardcore. There’s no word yet if Angelina Jolie, the girls (Zahara and Shiloh) or the twins (Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Léon) have also made their way to Venice but if so, I’m sure they’ll show up sooner or later. I’m not sure how I feel about the blue hair, to be honest. Should kids that young be dying their hair already? Does it matter?
