Actor Brad Pitt has spent $100,000 building a new run for his children’s gerbils.
The father-of-six, 45, loves architecture and oversaw the project – which includes a maze of tunnels, seesaws and platforms for the gerbils – at the home he shares with Angelina Jolie, in France.
A source said: “Brad pores over architectural journals like other people pore over newspapers. He had so much fun putting the run together with his kids Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh and Pax.
“it’s incredibly complex and cost a lot, but Brad’s more than happy with any activity that can combine his two passions – his kids and architecture.”
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have reportedly bought gerbils for their two oldest sons Pax and Maddox.
Brad, 45, and Angelina, 34, reportedly arrived at their chateau in France and later took their sons Maddox, eight, and Pax, five, to a local pet store where they bought gerbils and goldfish.
It is claimed they visited the Jardinerie du Centre Var store in Brignoles, France, and Angelina reached in to pet the gerbils while partner Brad looked around the store.
They then bought a cage and equipment for the new pets and bought their son Maddox a cactus.
Brad Pitt, a New Orleans homeowner, has ruled out running for mayor amid growing speculation and local support.
Pitt, whose home is in the city’s French Quarter, told a major television network: “It’s not what I do.”
He also said: “I don’t have a chance.”
Pitt has put major dollars and effort into rebuilding the ninth ward of the city that was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina almost four years ago.
In fact, Pitt does not meet the candidacy requirement of at least five years’ residency in the city. Pitt and Angelina Jolie bought their house after August 2005.
Pitt started the Make It Right Foundation, which has a goal of building 150 storm-resistant, energy-efficient houses. “It’s going to be the greenest neighborhood in the United States,” he said. “I want to see this through. It means something to me.”
Brad Pitt is being used to slow traffic down in Russia.
Police there have placed cardboard cutouts of the Hollywood star at the most dangerous junctions in the city of Omsk, Siberia, according to reports.
It is the latest move by authorities in their endless battle against speeding. Traffic accidents in Russia are among the highest in Europe.
Omsk officials say accidents are down as star-struck drivers ease off the gas to gaze at the unusual image.
Newspaper Argumenty i Fakty quotes Dmitry Ziryanov, a local official who came up with the idea, as saying Fight Club star Pitt is “kind of like a colleague for us”.
This is one tag that would help Jennifer Aniston overcome any remorse if at all from the split with John Mayer. Jennifer Aniston has earned more money in 2008 as compared to her former husband Brad Pitt’s current partner Angelina Jolie.
Jennifer Aniston is said to have earned a whopping $27 million mainly from endorsement but also because of hits such as Marley & Me. While during the same period the Tomb Raider actress is believed to have made $14 million. Thus Jennifer Aniston has earned $13 million more than Angelina Jolie. But even if the riches of these two actresses are combined then too it cannot match the figure of R&B singer Beyonce who made a staggering $80 million last year.
Jennifer Aniston would not be looking at the earning of Beyonce at all she has enough to boast of by beating rival Angelina. But of course money is not something that will be the ultimate barometer to satisfy Jennifer Aniston because she will always remain bitter about losing Brad Pitt to Angelina Jolie.
I think somewhere someplace we all need to get over that break up.
Brad Pitt may have gone empty handed from most of the awarding bodies that nominated him the most recent of which is the Academy Awards where he was nominated best Actor for his film “The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button”. However, such defeat has not discouraged him from competing yet again in another festival and this time he is off to Cannes.
The organizers of the Cannes Film Festival have invited Brad Pitt’s “Inglourious Bastards” the Festival which will be held from May 13-14 this year. The WWII director Quentin Tarantino has not just accepted the call but has agreed to enter the picture into the competition. The movie, which is about the battle between Jewish Commandos and the Nazis, is set to open on August 21. Well, perhaps the war would be kinder to Brad Pitt than the reverse aging theme of Benjamin Button.
There will come a time when the paths of Jennifer Aniston, former husband Brad Pitt and partner Angeline Jolie will cross and this year’s Oscars Award might be that time. Jennifer Aniston, a certified hottie this year for the success of her movie “Marley & Me”, is a confirmed Oscars presenter this Sunday along with Jack Black of the boxoffice and critically-acclaimed “The Furious Five”. No one however knows if she would be walking the red carpet with boyfriend John Mayer who is also a certified hottie thanks to his Grammy Awards victory. John Mayer was however heard saying this is his first Oscars and his first being an Oscar boyfriend so he would be attending.
Another thing that’s certain is the attendance of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie since both are nominees. Brad Pitt is vying for the Best Actor category for “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” while Angelina Jolie is vying for the Best Actress category for “Changeling”. This Sunday’s Oscars will definitely be a big night especially for the three stars who may still be bitter about each other. So who will outshine who?
The actress’ husband, Brad Pitt, joked about the couple being overdue with their next child. He said: We average about two a year, so I guess we’re overdue, aren’t we?” But of course Angelina Jolie doesn’t shy away from being a xenomorph queen and said about having more children: “If they come our way, we’d be happy to have them all. We love children.” But seriously, they already have like 6 of them, what are do they think this is: the repopulation contest? Do they think we’re going to colonize Mars in the near future and there will be a need of people to do the job? Maybe that way we will all get in touch with the real xenomorphs, I’m sure their queen will be jealous when she finds out about Angelina Jolie’s performance.
Brad Pitt says that he ain’t too good at cooking things but in the same tune he insists that Angelina Jolie is no better than him and said that at best she’s only been able to prepare “cereal” for him.
The Hollywood couple has six children and raises all of the six together, but Pitt admits in between the two both are not gifted with even basic skills to be able to conjure up a meal for their family – because they just can’t cook.
But Brad you guys have what scores of the Hollywood couples do not and that is you remain good friends and partners to one another despite not being officially married. Marriage at times means being bound by a relationship and breaking a relationship is not always the easiest of thing to do.
You always put in your best efforts to save it but here you guys are not bound but yet to remain faithful and bounded by love and affection.
She already has more than half a dozen kids including the genetically-born kids to her and the ones she has adopted from all over the globe. And still she wants more…….
The “Tomb Raider” hottie gave birth to twin babies a couple of months ago and she has already expressed her desire to adopt another child soon.
During an interview on the Today show at the NBC Studios in New York City, when asked about her future plans for adopting more children, she responded, “It depends. You can’t even start the process until any new children are six months old, to understand how the new family has settled to see what you could absorb into a new family.”
I am sure that after some years, Angelina Jolie and her loving hubby Brad Pitt would be able to produce their own movies with complete cast from their own home.
Gays are definitely trying hard to promote their ideology and increase their population in the Hollywood film and fashion industry.
Recently the gay community has become active to keep gay marriages legal in California and the gay actors are playing an active part in this campaign.
The gay actor T.R. Knight has supported his gay ideas by donating US$50,000 as a donation for the campaign.
Same-sex marriages are cool in the eyes of many celebrities and they have also donated to the cause open-heartedly. These celebrities include Steven Spielberg, Brad Pitt and Pete Wentz.
The organizers of the movement are still accusing Hollywood celebrities to be doing less than they are expected to do. The organizers are probably expecting them to perform gay-style activities on stage to collect some funds. Aren’t they?
Jon Voight has branded Roseanne Barr as “evil” for launching a vicious attack on his daughter Angelina Jolie and her hubby Brad Pitt.
Roseanne posted a bitter tirade against the Hollywood couple on her website, accusing them of donating money to charity for the sole purpose of building themselves a reputation as heroes of humanitarian causes.
The sitcom queen also slated the pair for only splashing out a tiny percentage of their multi-million dollar earnings, hinting they should be parting with a great deal more to better the lives of those less fortunate.
Now veteran actor Jon has hit back, insisting Roseanne can’t be taken seriously after she was exposed as a “psychopathic liar” for allegedly telling tales about her childhood.
He ranted: “We can never be surprised at what vile evil comes from the mouth of a confessed victim of child abuse at the hands of her own parents. Roseanne’s parents responded to the accusation by going on air and slating she is a psychopathic liar and her sister agreed.”
Jon also pointed to the occasion Roseanne sparked outrage with her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner before a 1990 baseball game in San Diego, during which she screeched throughout the tune before grabbing her crotch and spitting.
He added: “That gave us an insight into who she is and what she is capable of saying and doing.”
The Midnight Cowboy legend is also enraged at the comedienne for ridiculing Angelina’s indecision over which presidential candidate to endorse ahead of the US election.
Roseanne wrote on her blog page: “Miss Jolie says she likes John McCain too and hasn’t decided who to endorse… huh? Aren’t you supposed to be somewhat enlightened, or do you not know that the African daughter you hold in every picture had parents who suffered and died because of the Republican party’s worldwide economic assault on Africa over the last few decades since Ronald Reagan?”
She proceeded to call Angelina and her hubby Brad “evil” for “trying to look as if they give a c**p about humanity as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more”.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie take this Goodwill Ambassador stuff pretty seriously. And you have to admire them for giving away money…
Through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation, they are giving $1 million to the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict. The money goes to American and Iraqi children who suffer from the war.
Angelina says, “These educational support programs for children of conflict are the best way to help them heal.” Brad says, “We hope to encourage others to give to these great organizations.”
Coldplay front man Chris Martin may be happily married to Gwyneth Paltrow and have two kids together but the singer still feels like an underdog sometimes. In an interview with Rolling Stone, he said “You’ve got to be hungry. If your wife went out with Brad Pitt, you’d want to prove yourself, you know what I mean?” Barack Obama also became a topic of conversation in the article as Chris mentions a reason for hope saying “As soon as Barack Obama becomes president, people will be a bit more optimistic. If Obama was to be president, it would immediately change the whole outside world’s opinion of America overnight.”
Umm, isn’t that like so several years ago? But yes, we’re talking Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.
Although their marriage ended a while back, the former couple has contined to work together for the last three years at their production company, Plan B. Now, they have dissolved that relationship as well. Brad will continue to run that company, while Jen has set a deal with Universal to work with Echo Films.
For those who didn’t hear it before, Joy Behar asked it for us on The View. She said to Barack Obama, presidential candidate, “I understand that you’re related to Brad Pitt, in some way.”
The claim was originally made by the New England Historic Genealogical Society, saying that Brad and Barack are distant cousins. They are related through a man named Edwin Hickman, who died in 1769 in Virginia.
Barack said, “I guess we’re ninth cousins, something, removed – or something. I think he got the better looking side of the gene pool.”
Please… who wrote it for her? Didn’t this women drop out of high school. We’re supposed to believe that she is a fluent writer now? Yeah so nice that she’s bringing attention to this. But how will she out do herself next year? Oh, that’s right, she’ll adopt another kid and the publicity will just never end. Does she even have the time to pick up a pen and write a small daily dairy for herself of her daily happening with the kids and her routine and the time she shares with Brad Pitt? Why Am I saying all this, well because if a person is on tour of the world almost every day, has 4 kids to take care of and the usual commitments and reportedly finding a new house how can she find the time to write to her fans mails and do all this. It is pretty much clear in my mind, that either has a time clock that allows her to work 36 hours in one day out of the possible 24 hours or then her reps having been doing all this work for her and then she puts her name on drafted document.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt made their way down to the UK for the premiere of Beowulf which took place at the Vue Leicester Square . Why do they have to take moments of staring into each other’s eyes and kiss for photos? So phony. They do it on every red carpet. Why can’t they just walk it, and speak and be nice to fans instead of trying so hard to convince people they are happy? Who gives a rats ass if they “look” in love? They are there to promote a movie not themselves. Movie seems stupid too. I am not at all against the show of love and affection in public that’s totally cool to me but like when the whole thing becomes repetitive that’s when its like the whole thing become more of a customary show than being the real thing.
