Angelina Jolie was reunited with her first child, Maddox Chivan, in France today after spending some time apart in the past week or so. Maddox traveled to the US with his father Brad Pitt and Ange was left home with the rest of the kiddies … but before Brad, the twins, Shiloh, Pax and Zahara — it was just Angelina and Maddox:

As you can see, Angelina purchased a little suction cup dart gun for her little man and kinda looks pregs in this dress. I’m pretty sure she’s not pregs but, well, the outfit does look suspicious. In the end, tho, it’s just Angelina and Maddox … just like it’s been from the start. These two go way back … it’s nice to see them out and about enjoying some alone time together.

On Thursday we saw a few ADORABLE photos of Angelina Jolie and 3 of her children — Pax Thien, Zahara Marley and Shiloh Nouvel — on a shopping excursion to a Toys R Us in France. I noted at the time that Brad and Maddox Chivan were here in the States taking care of biz … but it looks like that biz has been completed cuz here are a couple pics of the Brangelina “men” making their way thru JFK Airport presumably making their way home to the rest of the fam:

Brad and Mad have become quite the pair. If ever Brad brings one of his children with him on trips, it’s usually Maddox (sometimes with Pax, sometimes not). We usually see Angelina out with the girls … so it looks like the Brangelina Brood is a boy vs. girl situation. HMMM. We still hardly ever seen the twins — Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Léon — so it’s impossible to know if they are split up between the parents by gender as well. But … whatever the case may be when they are out and about individually, there is no doubt that they are one happy family when they are all together. It’s so cute … couldn’t you just puke on your shoes?

Angelina Jolie and her eldest child Maddox Chivan were spotted making their way thru LAX Airport this week bound for the Middle East where Ange will be doing a bit of work as Goodwill Ambassador for the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) … while her hubby-like partner Brad Pitt was spotted tooling around LA on his hog:

Presumably, Dad Pitt will remain at the homestead to care for the rest of the Brangelina brood while Angelina is off saving the world. Santa Angelina has already made her way to Baghdad, Iraq to do her good work. Here is a photo and some deets on Angelina’s visit to the affected region:

Angelina Jolie took a day trip onThursday to Baghdad. The actress and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador is there to speak out for aid on behalf the millions of Iraqis displaced within their own country and the 1.5 million more Iraqis displaced out of the country. This is her third visit to the country in recent years. On Tuesday afternoon Jolie and eldest son Maddox took off from LAX, where they were heading to the 24th annual Arab Children’s Congress in Amman, Jordan. The pair were reportedly going to be staying with Jolie’s friend Queen Noor.

You can read the full text of the UNHCR press release HERE. I’m always amazed at how much time and devotion Angelina puts toward her charity work. It makes ones head spin just thinking about all commitments Angelina keeps in her every day life … whether they be personal, professional or philanthropic, Angelina Jolie works hard, y’all! Kudos to her for her continued zeal to try and help heal the world.

Brad Pitt and his eldest sons Maddox Chivan and Pax Thien spent some great bonding time together this weekend while mommy Angelina Jolie was hard at work on the set of her new film Salt. Brad and the boys were first spotted chillin’ together on Long Island, NY …

… before they sneaked off to Niagra Falls, Ontario Canada to enjoy (among other things) a Maid of the Mist tourist ride:

People magazine may have named him “Sexiest Man Alive” twice, but even Brad Pitt looked a little goofy in his blue Maid of the Mist poncho. The superstar actor was in Niagara Falls, Ont., on a picture-perfect afternoon to take in the sights of the world-famous cataracts Saturday. In tow were two of his sons, Maddox and Pax; his parents, Bill and Jane, and his bodyguards. The group enjoyed the attractions while remaining relatively under the radar. Not with them was Pitt’s equally famous partner, Angelina Jolie, who has been filming the thriller “Salt” in Albany. “He was looking good,” sighed a star-struck Melissa Harris, 17, of Niagara Falls, Ont., as the hunky actor rushed past her. She conceded she was a little chagrined that she didn’t have her camera with her for the celebrity sighting. A pair of German tourists also recognized the famous dad and delightedly snapped photos with their cell phones. But for the most part, Pitt remained largely unnoticed— just another dad enjoying a tourist attraction with his family. Pitt managed to keep a low profile by sporting a look closer to that of the Unabomber than a movie star. He wore big, dark sunglasses and a paperboy-style cap with the hood of his oversized black sweat shirt pulled over his head. The Pitt family was given the star treatment at the Maid of the Mist. When their black SUV with tinted windows was escorted down to the dock about 3 p.m., they were discreetly whisked to the front of the line. The family gathered on the upper deck as bodyguards kept careful watch. During their ride, the Pitts took turns snapping photos of each other and the falls, and the little boys seemed to enjoy getting drenched. Most of the tourists seemed oblivious to the famous family in their midst. “Aaaahhhh!” screamed a distressed Raisa Monteiro, 18, a Brazilian exchange student, after learning that she had been on the same boat as Pitt, but hadn’t even caught a glimpse of him. “Maybe we can find them!” her friends cried, as they frantically tried to figure out where the family had gone. But Pitt was long gone, apparently headed back to Albany. U.S. border officers said the actor was very pleasant as he crossed through the checkpoint at the Rainbow Bridge.

Aww … it’s so cool that Brad is able to sneak his kids off for a relatively quite afternoon of fun without most people being any the wiser. I imagine it’s difficult for any of the Brangelina brood to go anywhere unnoticed but I guess they get lucky sometimes. It really is remarkable how normal the family is … it says a lot that both Brad and Angelina work so hard to keep their kids’ lives as normal as possible.

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 :)

Fresh from their double Oscar loss last Sunday night at the 81st Annual Academy Awards in Hollywood, CA, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt surfaced with 4 of their 6 children in tow at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater in NYC last night where the Brangelina brood were spotted making a hasty exit from a performance of The Little Mermaid on Broadway. Here are a few photos of Ange, Brad, Maddox Chivan, Zahara Marley, Pax Thien and Shiloh Nouvel as they made their way out of the theater last night:

It was family night at the theater in New York City for the Jolie-Pitts. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took their children to see a Wednesday evening showing of The Little Mermaid on Broadway … Pitt carried daughter Shiloh, 2, and held the hand of son Pax, 5, who sipped on a drink as he exited the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. Jolie held daughter Zahara, 3, while Maddox, 7, followed close behind. Missing: Their newborn twins, Knox and Vivienne. Jolie — who just returned from Hollywood for the Oscars with Pitt — is in the Big Apple as she prepares to shoot the espionage thriller, Salt. After she wraps up filming, Jolie has said she plans to take a break from acting to focus on being a mother. “I like being home a lot,” the mother of six has said. “First and foremost, I have a lot of children, and I need to make sure they’re growing right and they’ve got us there for them.”

LOL! Angelina has been giving that line about “taking a break from acting to be a mother” for years now … I doubt she ever will really take a break. Tho, I’m sure her demoralizing loss of so many acting awards this past awards season is enough to sour her to the craft for some time to come. Ah well, she’s a mega-millionaire who is coupled up with a mega-millionaire with a beautiful (and growing?) family of children … it’s kinda hard to feel too sorry for her. In any event, I imagine it was quite a treat for the theater-goers at the Lunt-Fontanne to see the Brangelina brood file in for last night’s performance. I think it would be really fun to share your popcorn with Princess Zahara. I’ve yet to see The Little Mermaid on Broadway myself but a show that is so well-attended by so many celebrity children (I understand Suri Holmes-Cruise is a fan as well) sounds must see to me!

After enduring another Awards Show shut-out (with feigned smiling faces and empty applause) this past weekend at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt packed up their children (Vivienne Marcheline, Knox Léon, Shiloh Nouvel, Zahara Marley, Pax Thien and Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt) and made their way to Japan where they were greeted by fans at the Narita International Airport earlier today … here are a few photos of the massive family’s grand arrival:

The Jolie-Pitt clan has landed in Japan. Two days after walking the red carpet at Sunday’s Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were spotted — with all six of their kids — at Narita International Airport in Tokyo on Tuesday. Jolie was photographed carrying 6-month-old twin Viv, while Pitt held Knox. Maddox, 7, Zahara, 4, Pax, 5, Shiloh, 2 — who walked alongside their parents — don’t mind all the globetrotting, Jolie recently said. “Our kids are always packing,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “They like to pack; it’s a game in our house. “It can get very hard trying to find 20 minutes to close your eyes if you’ve been up since four in the morning,” Jolie said. “We travel so much, we never have to adjust. We change school time to four in the afternoon if we have to!” The family is expected to settle in New York’s Long Island in March as Jolie shoots the spy thriller Edwin A. Salt.

OMG … these photos of the Jolie-Pitt twins (who were born on July 12, 2008 … which is, incidentally, my birthday as well ;) are so cute! They really do look very much alike … it’s only the unmatching headwear that discerns them from one another (but how cute is it that Brad and Knox are wearing the same hat?!). It’s not totally clear why the family made their way en masse to the Land of the Rising Son but I suspect they’re not in town to collect any awards … Brangelina appears to have some trouble doing that this awards season. In any event, they all look very happy together. Seeing all of these adorable little chubby cheeks seems a great way to start the day!
