Yesterday we learned that Angelina Jolie and fauxhubby Brad Pitt made their way to Bosnia to visit with refugees there on behalf of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and today we get to see photos of Angelina with some of the people she met in Bosnia … behold:

UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie has called for steps to end the continuing suffering of displaced victims of the Bosnian War after hearing their harrowing tales and seeing their grim living conditions during a brief visit this week. Jolie, travelling with her partner Brad Pitt, on Monday took a break from filming to visit Bosnia and Herzegovina and highlight the plight of 113,000 Bosnians and 7,000 refugees from Croatia. These people were forced from their homes during the violent break-up of the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s and many of them are living in collective centres, often in appalling conditions. The acclaimed actress was clearly moved by the spirit – and the suffering – of the people she met and she pledged to highlight their case. Most of the people she talked to have been living far from home for well over a decade. Many of their children were born in exile and have never seen where their families come from. Jolie kicked off her first trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina by visiting a crumbling and dilapidated collective centre in the eastern town of Gorazde, which lies on the Drina River and was a UN-protected enclave throughout the 1992-1995 war. She and Pitt visited another collective centre housing displaced people in Rogatica, where the inhabitants told the couple about the daily hardships they endure, including a lack of basic services such as running water. “After seeing these people and hearing their stories, I cannot overemphasize the need to focus on the well-being of the most vulnerable individuals of the population,” Jolie said, adding that by “ending displacement and ensuring quality of life, we can help to promote progress and long-term stability.” Among these “most vulnerable individuals” were a group of internally displaced women who suffered very bad experiences during the war. While Pitt went off to speak to their menfolk, Jolie spent some private time with the women. After the meeting, an emotional Jolie said they had told her about the ordeal they had suffered before escaping to Gorazde during the war, including rape and torture. “I have my body, but it no longer has a soul,” one woman told her.

More details of Brangelina‘s visit to Bosnia continue after the jump …

Earlier today we learned that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie made their way to Sarajevo, Bosnia but they did manage to spend their Easter in Venice, Italy where the family rented out the island of San Servolo so that they could enjoy Easter together as:

For many families, an egg hunt in the garden is a traditional way to celebrate Easter. It was no different for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt – except that their celebration involved renting an entire island. The A-list couple took their six children to the Venetian island of San Servolo for a day of Easter activities on Sunday. After catching a waterboat to the island, in the Venetian Lagoon, the family set up a picnic on the lawns and soaked up the Italian sun. Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, Zahara, 5, Shiloh, 3 and twins Knox and Vivienne, 20 months, were amused by a hunt for eggs, carefully hidden by their bodyguards, and a game of football. As they disembarked Angelina was spotted carrying an Easter egg basket while baby Vivienne, bundled up in a black jacket and grey beanie, held a miniature version. After the family day out the couple then left their brood behind and travelled to Bosnia as part of Angelina’s role as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador. They planned to visit refugees and tour homes that have not yet been rebuilt, despite war in the region ending 15 years ago. The expedition came as 34-year-old Angelina took a break from filming The Tourist, in which she co-stars with Johnny Depp, in Venice.

I’m not sure how Angelina Jolie finds the time to be a mother AND make a movie AND be a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador AND find time to breathe all at the same time … but she seems to be able to handle everything OK. I guess when you’re a real life superhero, stuff like this comes easy. I hope the kiddies had themselves a nice holiday yesterday … having run of an entire island sounds fun, don’t it?

The Twins! The Brangelina Twins have come out of hiding to say HEY! Here are a couple of really cute pics of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie taking their twin babies (and only the twins) Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Léon out for a bite of lunch in Venice, Italy earlier today:

As they’ve been doing for the past few weeks, Brangelina once again ventured out in public with a smaller contingent of children making sure not to bring them all out at the same time. Earlier this week, we saw the couple with the rest of their kiddies while these twins were nowhere to be seen. Today, we have an opposite scenario … the twins and none of the other kids. As much as I love seeing the other Jolie-Pitt kids out in public, we don’t get to see nearly as much of the twins … so these pics are a welcome site. Aren’t Viv and Knox the cutest little things? Those chubby cheeks are killing me. Sooo cute!!!

Time for our semi-daily check-in with the Brangelina brood as they continue to pop up all over Venice, Italy — their temporary new home. When last we saw daddy Brad Pitt and mummy Angelina Jolie with some of their kids, they were taking a small contingent to a kiddie birthday party. Today, see that they took their 4 eldest children — Maddox Chivan, Zahara Marley, Pax Thien and Shiloh Nouvel — out for a stroll on the streets of Venice this past Sunday:

Boo. The littlest Jolie-Pitts were left at home but my theory holds … Brangelina prefers not to bring out all of their kiddies all at the same time. We did see the entire Brangelina brood out and about together when they first arrived in Venice but since then, the kids have been broken up into different configurations on their various outings. This has to be the most we’ve seen of the family out in public, like, ever. I’m guessing we’ll continue to keep good track of them for many more weeks to come.

Yesterday we saw photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie taking the twins and tomboy Shiloh Nouvel out for some ice cream in Venice, Italy and today we see that it is the older boys’ turn for an outing. Brangelina took their eldest sons, Maddox Chivan and Pax Thien, for a day of art appreciation at the Venice Palace … behold:

I suppose when you have as many kids as Brangelina does, you can really take them out for meaningful outings in shifts. Yesterday it was the twins, today it’s the boys … tomorrow the girls? Whatever the case may be, the entire Brangelina brood have totally taken over Venice — and they just got to town! I’m thinkin’ we’ll be seeing a lot more of them (in various configurations) in the weeks to come. How fun!

The Jolie-Pitt twins have surfaced once again!! Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Léon were spotted in Venice, Italy with their parents Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie after a visit to the ice cream shop! As you can see from this supercute photo, the kiddies seemed to be enthralled by their iced treats:

Big sister and notorious tomboy Shiloh Nouvel tagged along for the outing. You can see a cute pic of the little tyke after the jump …

Here’s a sight that we should prolly get used to seeing in the coming weeks and months … Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took most of their children — Maddox Chivan, Zahara Marley, Pax Thien and Shiloh Nouvel — for a boat ride on the canals of Venice, Italy yesterday afternoon. Because you kinda have to get around by boat taxi in the water city of Venice, this will very likely be an every day occurrence for the Brangelina brood:

Unfortch, the twin babies were not brought along on this outing. I hope we do get to see more of them since they are in Venice and have been sighted more often in the last 2 weeks than in all of last year. Let’s pray they haven’t been locked away in cages for another 6 months ;) I know that corralling 6 kids at once is tough but it’s kinda what Brangelina have signed up for. Photos like this need more twins!

Lest you think that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are no longer in love, due to unfounded rumors about their “split” last month, Brangelina decided to show the world just how much in lurve they are by sharing a passionate and very public smooch on the Parisian set of Ange‘s new film The Tourist … behold:

It’s not unusual to see a couple sharing a passionate kiss on the streets of Paris – one of the most romantic cities in the world. But passers-by must have had a shock yesterday when they realised the embracing couple was none other than Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The pair were keen to show their relationship is stronger than ever as they puckered up on the set of Jolie’s new movie The Tourist in France. Jolie, wearing a chic cream dress for the scenes in the film, in which she stars alongside Johnny Depp, looked coy as she pulled away from the tender embrace, but couldn’t keep the smile off her famous lips. Pitt took on the role of house husband as Jolie shot the scenes in a Parisian cafe, and took care of some of the couple’s children, Shiloh, three and five-year-old Zahara, who were clearly keen to see their mother in action. These latest photographs are further evidence that there is no trouble in paradise for the Hollywood pair, following split rumours earlier this year over which they threatened legal action.

I guess it wasn’t enough for Brangelina to put their love on display at Super Bowl XLIV in Miami, FL earlier this month … now they have to flaunt it in the most romantic city in the world! Good for them!! I really love Brangelina together and I wish nothing but the greatest happiness for their little (well, big) family. Love them :)

Last week we learned that the entire Brangelina brood made their way to Venice, Italy to take up temporary residence while mama Angelina Jolie begins work on her new film The Tourist. Just one day after, we saw cute photos of Brangelina taking their eldest daughters Zahara Marley and Shiloh Nouvel out for a boat ride on the canals of Venice … you may recall that some people mistakenly believed that it was not Shiloh on the outing but the youngest Jolie-Pitt son Knox Léon. Today we get to see new photos of Angelina and Brad hard at work in the city of Paris, France … Ange was bizzy filming scenes for her new film and Brad was bizzy caring for the kiddies:

As Johnny Depp told [mentioned] this weekend, director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck began shooting Columbia Pictures thriller The Tourist in Paris, France on Tuesday. [Here is a] first look at photos of Angelina Jolie on the set. The film is a remake of the 2005 French thriller Anthony Zimmer. It concerns an American tourist (Depp) who finds his life in danger when a female Interpol agent (Jolie) uses him as a dupe to flush out an elusive criminal with whom she once had an affair.

Yes, while Angelina was bizzy filming her café scenes, Brad was bizzy elsewhere with the kids. After the jump, check out photos of Brad with Shiloh — who was showing off her adorable new boyish haircut …

Yesterday we saw a few supercute photos of Angelina Jolie and fauxhubby Brad Pitt enjoying the city of Venice, Italy together with their children (including their twins who are rarely seen in public) and right now we get to check out a couple new photos of Brangelina on another outing in Venice … this time with only two of their children, their eldest daughters Zahara Marley and Shiloh Nouvel:

Aww now these pics are cute … and considering the scary photos of Angelina we saw earlier today, these are a welcome sight. Now that the Brangelina brood have relocated to Venice, Italy for a spell while Ange films her next movie, I expect we’ll be seeing much more of the family out and about on the streets and canals of Venice in the coming weeks. Will we see more of the elusive twins? I hope so. Will we see more of the scary Angelina neck? I sincerely hope not. I guess we’ll have to see what Brangelina‘s time in Venice brings us in the days and weeks to come.
