Brad Pitt finally put a ring on it. The actor and his longtime partner Angelina Jolie have been together since 2005, and after years of wedding and engagement rumors, it looks like the Hollywood megastar couple will be walking down the aisle some day in the near future.

Pitt’s reps confirmed the news that he and Jolie were engaged this past Friday.

“Yes, it’s confirmed. It is a promise for the future, and their kids are very happy. There’s no date set at this time. Brad designed the ring,” Brad Pitt’s representative Cynthia Pett-Dante said in a statement.

According to various reports, Beverly Hills jewelery designer Robert Procop designed the engagement ring Brad used to propose to Angelina, and says he worked with the actor for about a year to make it just right.

“Brad had a specific vision for this ring, which he realized over a yearlong collaboration with Robert. He wanted every aspect of it to be perfect, so Robert was able to locate a diamond of the finest quality and cut it to an exact custom size and shape to suit Angelina’s hand,” Procop said in a statement. “Brad was always heavily involved, overseeing every aspect of the creative design evolution. The side diamonds are specially cut to encircle her finger. Each diamond is of the highest gem quality.”

Last week, Angelina Jolie was spotted wearing what looked like an engagement ring at a private event in Los Angeles, which sparked initial reports that she and her life partner Brad Pitt were planning to make their relationship official.

Angelina and Brad have six children together, and they all have been urging the superstar couple to tie the knot now that they are older and understand what marriage is.

“They figured out what marriage is now, they’re old enough so now they kind of like the idea of it,” Angelina Jolie told ‘Extra’ in February. “But we’re still convinced that half of them just want to party. They’ve heard there’s good cake.”

This past January, Brad Pitt told The Hollywood Reporter, “we’d actually like to [get married], and it seems to mean more and more to our kids. We made this declaration some time ago that we weren’t going to do it till everyone can. But I don’t think we’ll be able to hold out. It means so much to my kids, and they ask a lot. And it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment.”

Congrats to Brad and Angelina and the rest of the fam!

READ: 2012 Golden Globes Winners

Hosted by comedian Ricky Gervais for the third consecutive time, the 2012 Golden Globes’ red carpet also saw appearances from Jessica Alba, Jane Lynch, Mary J. Blige, Lea Michele, Amber Riley, Heidi Klum, Salma Hayek, Ryan Seacrest, Owen Wilson, and Jessica Biel, among many others.

Check out 50+ pictures from the red carpet of the 2012 Golden Globe Awards below:

Though the nominees will not be announced until late next month, five films have emerged that will likely be honored. From a fabulous black and white silent film to a mainstream Brad Pitt production, here are some of 2011′s notable films.

Jean Dujardin in "The Artist"

The Artist: The fact that this film, based on a preexisting cinematic era, can be considered “original” is a testament to the genius of “The Artist.” Not since “Singing in the Rain” or “Sunset Boulevard” has there been a more touching foray into the emergence of talkies. Few films can capture the joy and excitement of old Hollywood the way in which this luminous tale of fame and romance does. Brilliant performances by French actor Jean Dujardin and Argentine star Berenice Bejo help make this film the year’s best.

Alexander Skarsgard and Kirsten Dunst in "Melancholia"

Melancholia: This haunting end of the world melodrama cements Lars Von Trier’s status as a cinematic mastermind. Kirsten Dunst stars as Justine, an unfathomably depressed bride who is desperate to connect with someone. Even her devoted new husband (Alexander Skarsgard) cannot hault her descent into madness. The film’s second act explores the perils of impending global destruction. Eerily beautiful, this rousing metaphor for mental illness is not easily forgotten.

Penn Badgley, Zachary Quinto, and Paul Bettany in "Margin Call"

Margin Call: It’s charisma with a side of riveting plot in this all-star drama. Led by breakout star, Zachary Quinto, the story explores the 2008 financial crisis and its initial effect on the corporate world. Dynamic performances, engaging dialogue, and a gripping portrayal of reality make “Margin Call” a low-budget gem.

Michael Fassbender in "Shame"

Shame: Ranking the film as one of the year’s best doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s watchable. Upon viewing the film you’ll add it to the list of films that stayed with you for days but you’d never view more than once. As haunting as it is informative, “Shame” captures the unsettling realities of sex addiction as the story’s central character, a brilliant Micheal Fassbender, plunges into a pit of self-destruction. Fassbender’s undeniably brave portrayal (he appears completely nude in the opening scene) is a major reason why the film is impossible to forget.

Brad Pitt in "Moneyball"

Moneyball: Wisely avoiding the usual round of sports movie cliches, “Moneyball” is a cleverly constructed portrayal of an amazing true story. The film caters to those who have little to no knowledge of baseball, and captures what the sport means to millions. Told through old footage, radio commentary, and photographs, it is as touching as it is witty.

What are some movies you feel were notable in 2011? Let us know in the comments below!

Your thoughts?

11-year-old Pop singer Willow Smith hosted a Target-sponsored shopping spree for Boys & Girls Club Families at a Target store in New York City Thursday.

Up in New York City, rapper Young Jeezy hosted a release party for his new album “Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition” (in stores 12/20) at the Penthouse at Hotel Rivington. Music exec. Kevin Liles (Jeezy’s manager) was also spotted at the event Thursday night.

And over in London town … R&B singers Kelly Rowland and Estelle attended a party Thursday night hosted by Dutch watch brand TW Steel at the Box Soho.

After allegedly putting his foot in his mouth in a recent printed magazine publication, it looks like actor Brad Pitt is trying to redeem himself by asking people to be nice to his famous ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston.

Since making what some would call an inappropriate comment about their marriage, when Brad appeared on the “Today Show” this week he told host Matt Lauer, “I don’t want people to say anything bad like that about Jen. She’s a dear friend of mine.”

The father of six told Matt Lauer all he was trying to say in the now infamous interview was that “the best thing I’d done as a father is be sure that my kids have a good mother.”

In the interview that sparked this whole Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie/Jennifer Aniston debacle, Brad was quoted as saying:

“I spent the ‘90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic. It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage [to actress Jennifer Aniston] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”

Now he’s taking time out to clarify himself, explaining to Lauer, “I think it’s a shame that I can’t say something nice about Angie without Jen being drug in. She doesn’t deserve it.”

Sounds like Brad Pitt needs to figure out better ways to compliment his new lover without throwing his old one under the bus. Just a thought…

“Gossip Girl” actress Leighton Meester attended the HTC Serves up NYC Product Launch event last night (Sep 20) at the Highline Stages in New York City.

Actress Vivica A. Fox posed for photographers on the red carpet of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation screening of “In the Hive,” held at the U.S. Navy Memorial Foundation and Heritage Center Tuesday evening in Washington, D.C.

Singer Gloria Estefan and her husband Emilio Estefan were spotted at HBO’s “The Latino List” red carpet premiere Tuesday night in Miami Beach, Florida. The Estefans just celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary at the beginning of this month. Congrats!

Jermaine Jackson promoted his new memoir about his late brother Michael Jackson, titled “You Are Not Alone Michael,” at The Empire State Building Tuesday afternoon in New York. Anything to keep the lights on, we guess…

Samuel L. Jackson (no relation to the Jackson above) and Angela Bassett were on hand for a press conference for “The Mountaintop” at Brooklyn High School of the Arts Monday afternoon (Sep 19) in New York City.

On the other side of the country in Oakland, California, Brad Pitt was on hand for the Columbia Pictures Premiere of “Moneyball” to Benefit the Fight Against Cancer with the Children’s Hospital & Research Center at the Paramount Theatre of the Arts.

Supermodel Kate Moss and “Twilight” actress Kristen Stewart sat next to each other in the front row of Mulberry’s Spring/Summer 2012 fashion show Sunday (Sep 18) during London Fashion Week.

And Pro boxer Victor Ortiz showed off his shiny new black eye, which he received after getting knocked out by his opponent Floyd Mayweather last weekend, as he partied it up Sunday night (Sep 18) at Studio 54 nightclub inside the MGM Grand Hotel/Casino in Las Vegas.

Even though it happened way back in 2005, the Jennifer Aniston-Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie love triangle cannot stay out of the tabloids.

The recent story to emerge is from a former Israeli intelligence officer turned Hollywood mogul who claims to have watched the infamous break-up evolve from it’s infancy.

In his upcoming book “Confidential: The Life of Secret Agent Turned Hollywood Tycoon, “Arnon Milchan dishes on Jennifer’s reaction when Brad disclosed that he had fallen for Angelina.

Arnon Milchan, a former Israeli intelligence officer and producer of “Mr and Mrs Smith” starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie — Jennifer Aniston kicked Pitt out of their Beverley Hills home when he confessed he was in love with Jolie.

Milchan told authors Meir Doran and Joseph Gelman, while Aniston didn’t believe the rumors at first, she eventually confronted Pitt about Jolie and he denied anything was going on.
According to the book, Milchan claims that Pitt stayed with him for the duration of the filming, and took steps to ensure no one recognized him when he arrived on set via motorcycle.

In 2008 the words “What Angelina did was very uncool,” appeared alongside a picture of Aniston on the cover of Vogue magazine. However, Pitt and his ex-wife have since exchanged pleasant words and Jen has even congratulated him on the arrival of his many kids.

Jen is currently dating her new beau Justin Theroux and was spotted vacationing with him in Hawaii recently. Let’s move on people, they clearly have!

The “I do’s” could take place at their newly renovated Chateau Miraval in Correns, France (conveniently featuring a 16th-century chapel) — but don’t expect a lavish bash in the manner of Pitt’s $1 million nuptials in 2000 to Jennifer Aniston.

This super-couple’s wedding “would be intimate and informal,” one insider says of the pair.

When choosing films, Brad Pitt says that he now takes his 6 children, with partner Angelina Jolie, into consideration.

Currently in France at the highly acclaimed Cannes Film Festival promoting his surrealist film, “The Tree of Life,” the actor told reporters on Monday: “I think of everything I do now that my kids are going to see when they grow up and how are they going to feel. But they know me as a dad and I hope they’ll just think of me as a pretty damn good actor.”

In “The Tree of Life,” Pitt plays an overbearing father to Jack O’Brien, played by Sean Penn. Brad also disclosed that in order to play his role in the film, he drew from his own life experiences.

“I got brought up being told things were God’s way, and when things didn’t work out it was called God’s plan. I’ve got my issues with it. Don’t get me started. I found it very stifling,” he said.

“The Tree of Life,” directed and written by Terrence Malick, is set to get a limited release in the US and will hit screens on May 27th.

Check out pics of Brad and Angelina on the red carpet of “Tree of Life” premiere at the 64th Annual Cannes Film Festival yesterday (Mon. May 16) below:

How in the world can anyone justify spending over $10 million a year on six kids? Well, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt sure can!

New reports from The Sun claim that the couple spends at least $36,000 on food, $63,000 on birthday parties, $150,000 on “activities” and nearly $100,000 on clothes, while tutors traveling with the family can cost as much as $990,000. And that only amounts to about $1.3 million, so who knows where the other $8.7 million is spent.

But how on earth can the Jolie-Pitt family justify spending so much money on their kids? “They donate millions a year to charity – that’s how they justify spending so much,” a source told the UK newspaper.

But it looks like the spending isn’t going to stop there as the couple are on the look-out for a new nanny, who will receive a handsome yearl salary of $150,00 to look after the Jolie-Pitt brood.

An insider said: “It’s a coveted position. Brad and Angelina’s requirements are justified – they only want the best for their kids. The pay packet and lifestyle make it a pretty amazing deal. Not only have Brad and Angelina got to be able to trust the nanny completely with the kids but the new carer must also respect the family’s privacy.”

There are also rumors that the couple are looking into adopting a 7th child, which means that they will be spending even MORE money. The Jolie-Pitts definitely have “racks on racks on racks!”

It looks like the stress of raising six children is officially getting to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie! The couple has resorted to asking Brad’s parents for help.

Pitt and Jolie, who raise children Maddox (9), Pax (7), Zahara (6), Shiloh (4) and 2-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne together, are reportedly building an apartment on the grounds of their Chateau Miraval estate in France to accommodate Brad’s parents Bill and Jane Pitt, who plan to help raise the couple’s large family.

According to the Sun newspaper, a source said:

“The whole family is going to move there as soon as the renovations are done. At the moment they have six nannies – one for each of the kids – and the plan is to get rid of the helpers and rely on Bill and Jane.

“The annexe they will live in is an old building which used to be used as a dovecote. It’s big enough to have a sitting room, kitchen and a couple of bedrooms. It will make a lovely little cottage for them.”

Brad and Angelina are said to have asked Brad’s mom and dad to move in with them so that their children can have a more stable home life, instead of having to travel around the world for months at a time to keep up with the couple’s hectic work schedules.

Brad, 47, and Angelina, 35, are said to have asked Bill and Jane to move in with them in order to give their children a more stable home life, instead of travelling the world for months at a time to keep up with the couple’s movie-making commitments.

“They don’t want them dragged around the world any longer,” the source added. “Brad is traditional and wants them to put down roots and have friends and go to the same school, rather than constantly moving. They’ll pretty much retire from Hollywood for a while.”

Good for them! But 6 nannies?! Those kids must be a serious handful! It’s a good thing Brad has generous, kid-loving parents!

Child prodigy Willow Smith is set to star in the new adaptation to Annie and wants Brad Pitt as Daddy Warbucks in the film. Brad Pitt is no stranger to adoption but is he willing to star in the re-make?

See below!

Access Hollywood asked 10-year-old Willow – star of the upcoming remake – who she wants to play Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks and she’s hoping “the sun will come out tomorrow” on one of Hollywood’s biggest stars.

“Brad Pitt!” she told Access at Justin Bieber’s “Never Say Never” premiere on Monday night in Los Angeles.

As for details on the project, which dad Will Smith is producing with Jay-Z and Sony Pictures, the young star stayed tight-lipped. “We’re just going to have to wait for that! You’re just going to have to wait,” she said.

There’s yet to be confirmation on whether or not this will happen, but with Jay-Z and Will Smith behind this project I’m sure it’s not too far from possible.

Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp were at the premiere of their new movie “The Tourist” in New York on Monday (Dec 6).

While Johnny came in solo, Angelina was with her inseparable “life partner” Brad Pitt and looked elegant in a long off-white dress. In addition, all types of celebs came to see the movie – from extravagant fashion designer Betsey Johnson to model Alessandra Ambrosio, and actors Jennifer Connelly, Gabourey Sibide, Brooke Shields and singer Ashanti.

“The Tourist” will be in theaters this Friday on December 10th. Check out 15+ pics of the premiere below!

Known worldwide philanthropist Brad Pitt paid a special visit to New Orleans, Louisiana over the weekend to recognize the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Pitt was spotted Friday morning (Aug 27) touring homes and taking pictures with fans in the city’s Lower 9th Ward, which was harmed the most in the devastating August 29th 2005 hurricane.

Brad appeared on NBC Nightly News Friday and talked about his initial reaction to what he saw when he first visited New Orleans shortly after the hurricane.

“It was unfathomable. I mean, just — you had no idea that there were families and here,” Pitt said. “It was just wiped clean. Except for the occasional pile up of homes and — on top of homes.”

In 2007, Pitt helped establish the Make It Right Project, which has so far built over 30 “eco-friendly” homes in New Orleans and plans to build up to 150.

“I mean, people’s– people build their lives here,” he said. “And– and– I mean, New Orleans is a unique place to begin with. And I say– a cultural treasure trove for– for America to begin with. But the thing that struck me was that these people were trying to– you know, these people were trying to get home. And– and were having a very difficult time doing so. And as I got into and started studying it.”

Definitely a good look for the always charitable Brad Pitt!

Show no mercy!!

Actor Brad Pitt is pissed off to the highest power at all those behind the massive BP oil spill, and wants them to pay the ultimate penalty…..THE DEATH PENALTY!

In a recent interview in Spike Lee’ New Orleans documentary “If God Is Willing and Da Creek Don’t Rise”, Pitt expressed his fury over the tragic disaster that killed 11 people and caused massive devastation to the Gulf of Mexico.

“I was never for the death penalty before; I am willing to look at it again.”

The HBO documentary focuses on the fifth anniversary of Katrina and will air Monday and Tuesday.

Interesting sidenote: Anyone notice Brad Pitt’s initials are BP too? Things that make you go hmm….

Don’t mess with Mr. and Mrs. Smith!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie won a court case Thursday (Jul 22) in Great Britain against British tabloid “News of the World,” after the UK publication erroneously reported back in January that the couple (who aren’t married) had paid a visit to a divorce attorney and were negotiating an agreement to break up. They even went as far as to say that they had met with lawyers to arrange custody for their children.

But after a judge’s ruling in favor of the Jolie-Pitts, The News of the World has agreed to publicly apologize to the couple, in addition to paying an undisclosed sum for damages and to cover their legal fees. The money will be donated to their charity, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

The newspaper argued that they acted in good faith, but a statement from Brad and Angelina’s attorneys said that Sorrell Trope (identified as the divorce lawyer the couple had allegedly met with) had never met the couple.

“When the News of the World failed to publicly retract the allegations and apologize for them — thereby leaving their readers in the dark as to the true position — the couple felt they had no alternative than to sue. Today’s victory marks the end of the litigation brought by Brad and Angelina.”

Neither Brad nor Angelina were present in court and have declined to comment further on this.

Trust is a must!!

Actress Angelina Jolie may be playing a wife hiding many secrets in her upcoming action film “Salt”, but that doesn’t mean she holds back anything from her legal partner actor Brad Pitt. In a recent interview with MTV, Jolie talked about how honesty is the key to any successful relationship.

“I actually think it’s important to be completely honest, however difficult that may be. I’m bad at hiding secrets anyway.”

However she did go on to jokingly add that Brad may look at things slightly differently after seeing the movie.

“Maybe he’ll question me after he sees it!”

Either way….we’re glad to hear somebody still keeps it 100 these days!

We’re not exactly sure what’s going on, but Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt clearly are the type of parents that will allow their children to pretty much do whatever they want regardless of how old they are. They seem like the “free spirit” type, right?

Well, now the parents (mainly Angelina) are under fire for allegedly turning their 4-year-old daughter Shiloh into a little boy. At least that’s what Life & Style Magazine (see left) says.

Now, you’ve probably noticed yourself how baby Shiloh has always looked … “butch.” And Angelina isn’t making things any better because in a recent interview with Vanity Fair Magazine, she spoke about how she allows her daughter to “dress like a little dude.”

Continue reading for more…

“(Shiloh dresses) like a little dude. Shiloh, we feel, has Montenegro style. It’s how people dress there. She likes tracksuits, she likes (regular) suits. She likes to dress like a boy. She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys’ everything. She thinks she’s one of the brothers.”

And how old is little Shiloh? Jolie went on to talk about Shiloh’s humer:

“(She’s) goofy and verbal, the early signs of a performer… I used to get dressed up in costumes and jump around. But at some point, I got closed off, darker. I don’t remember anything happening. I think you just get hit with the realities of certain things in life, think too much, start to realise the world isn’t as you wished it would be, so you deepen. Then, as I had kids and got older – being goofy, lighter – it all came back.”

Angelina Jolie doesn’t have a problem with you getting at her man, you just better not mess with her kids!! The “Tomb Raider” star just recently passed along a few words of wisdom to actress Jennifer Aniston. Jolie warned Aniston (Brad Pitt’s ex-wife) to stay away as far as possible from her children. Currently she is raising six children with Brad, and by any means will not have any interruptions. According to a source:

“The last thing she wants is Jen trying to act like some kind of surrogate mother to her six kids. She cannot imagine anything more distressing — and at the same time she does not want any of them getting confused about what is happening to their family.”

Brad and Jennifer have remained close friends after their divorce and at times have been rumored to be rekindling the flame. However regardless of what they’ve got going on, Angelina isn’t looking for mama #2 in the picture!

Word on the sidewalk is that actress Angelina Jolie is PISSED at her long-time partner Brad Pitt. Why? Because sources say the actor is hooking back up with his ex wife Jennifer Aniston. You know, the woman who Angie stole Brad from in the first place. Go figure.

Sources claim Brad and Jen started talking via text messages and phone calls, and even met in person a few times earlier this month as Angelina prepared to celebrate her 35th birthday. And when she found out? She went “mental!”

“Angelina went mental when she found out Brad had been texting Jen and meeting with her — despite his promise to cut all ties with his ex-wife,” a source told the National Enquirer. “That news totally rocked Angie’s world and she ended up calling her birthday celebration off at the last minute.”

The snitch also says that when Brad came back to their Los Feliz, California home late one night, he and Angelina got into a huge fight.

“When Brad returned home, Angie confronted him abut where he’d been, and he insisted he’d seen a few buddies on the other side of the city. But Angie didn’t believe him and is sure he met up with Jen — or at least called her for a heart-to-heart. Brad and Angelina had put their differences behind them, but that was because she believed he had cut ties with Jen for good.

“They really bonded in Italy [where Jolie filmed The Tourist with Johnny Depp] and Angie was so excited about spending her birthday with Brad and the kids. But when she found out that Brad and Jen had started talking again, it put them back to square one.

“She told Brad what she thought of him, and things got pretty unpleasant between them. As he’s done on many occasions, Brad decided to get out of the house and give Angie space, so she spent the large part of her birthday alone.”

What’s that old saying? The way you got him is the way you’ll lose him. Right? LOL!

Singer Wyclef Jean has a small request for Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. The former Fugees member wants Angelina and Brad to adopt a child from his earthquake devastated homeland Haiti.

“Brad and Angie, please! Please adopt a child from Haiti!”

Now this shouldn’t be too much for the couple who are already parents of three adopted children from Ethiopia, Vietnam, and Cambodia. However according to Jolie, at the moment they aren’t looking to extend their family circle.

“I’m always open to children around the world. We’re that kind of family. Brad and I talk about that. But that’s not what we’re focusing on at this time, by any means.”

Despite their lack of interest in adopting a Haitian child at the moment, Brad and Angie have donated $1 million to Haiti through a program called Doctors Without Borders.

Guess you can’t blame ‘em about not wanting to adopt any more kids right now though. They already have a lot on their hands!

We knew it! Angelina Jolie is really CRAZY! In a bombshell interview with In Touch Weekly, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt‘s former bodyguard puts the REAL Angelina Jolie on blast:

“In my opinion, the real Angelina is self-centered and a control freak. She has no patience at all. She doesn’t do things out of the kindness of her heart. And she’s totally psycho.”

While Brad is laid-back and patient with his kids’ often wild behavior, Angelina is anything but. “She screams and yells a lot, then walks away,” Bill says, explaining that Angelina would often “disappear into her suite for hours,” leaving staffers — and Brad — to deal with her children.

“She would punish them with silence,” says Bill, adding, “I think she could be abusive at times in a mental way.” If the children were to get upset by her withholding behavior, he says, Angelina didn’t seem to care. “She is not moved by tears,” he explains. Still more disturbing, he recalls, Angelina has a “quirky habit” of “giggling when one of her kids would start crying.”

This is sad, but why is Brad Pitt still married to dating this crazy woman? Brad can literally have any woman that he wants, but yet, he’s putting up with this psycho’s mess? Things that make you go “hmm…”

On Sunday(Mar 21) Brad pitt and Angelina Jolie took their four children (Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, Zahara, 5, and Shiloh, 3) over to Johnny Depp‘s home in Venice, Italy.  Depp has two kids, Lily-Rose (10) and Jack (7), with girlfriend of 12 years Vanessa Paradis. Jolie, 34, and Depp, 46, are over in Venice  shooting the dramatic thriller “The Tourist” to be released later next year.

In related news, A source tells UK newspaper Daily Star Sunday that Brad and Angelina don’t like to travel in the same plane because they’re afraid that if something bad were to happen to the both of them at the same time, their children will be orphaned. This became public knowledge when they reportedly booked tickets on the Virgin Galactic spacecraft. Jolie will allegedly go on the first flight later this year and Pitt will take the second one.

The source said: “When she was asked if Brad wanted the seat next to her, she said they no longer flew together in case disaster strikes and their six kids are left parentless.”

So what’s the plan if both planes go down? We feel where they’re coming from but … wow. Check out a few pics of the Jolie-Pitts on their way to Johnny D’s house below…

We recently posted some photos of actor Jon Voight reuniting with his daughter, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and his grandchildren. And since then, Voight has spoken to RadarOnline.com about what it was like to reunite with his family:

“It was just wonderful to spend time with Angelina and Brad and the children. I’ve been waiting so long to hug my grandchildren and it was amazing, they are the most beautiful, loving kids you could imagine and I’m not just saying that because I’m their grandfather, they really are something special. Angie and I have been in contact on the phone and by e-mail for some time now. We’ve been working towards a full reconciliation for a while. Angie had to feel it was the right time to bring me into the lives of her and the kids and after some work she decided the moment had arrived.”

Voight admits that Jolie is in the driver’s seat when it comes to his exposure to her children, but he’s optimistic. “I hope I get to see them again soon,” Voight says. “I want to spend as much time with them as possible.”

We think that this is wonderful. It’s always good to see estranged family members (especially parents and children) put water under the bridge and move forward.

Well well well… Look at who was spotted together in Italy! Angelina Jolie and her estranged father, Hollywood actor Jon Voight, were spotted along with Brad Pitt and their daughter Zahara getting into a taxi boat in Venice after enjoying a sunny day in the Italian city. The Jolie-Pitt family is currently spending some time together in Italy as Angelina films her new movie “The Tourist” with Johnny Depp.

Just case you didn’t know, Angelina and her dad Jon haven’t been spotted together in several years due to a family rift. They parted ways in 2001 after Voight said that his daughter needed help for “her serious mental problems” in a TV interview. But recently Brad has been trying to get his wife and his future father-in-law to patch things up so that the kids can have a relationship with Jon.

Is it just us or did the world forget that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have twins? Well they let the world get a peek of Knox and Vivienne recently. The family is currently staying in Italy while Brad films his new movie, “The Tourist.”

PIC SPOTTED @ POP EATER

Out of nowhere, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been all in the public eye after a several month hiatus, which lead many to believe that the couple was on the verge of breaking up. In the past couple of weeks, the super couple has been spotted at red carpet events, the Super Bowl, and now Angelina Jolie has made her way to the Dominic Republic:

Fresh off her Saints’ Super Bowl win, Brad Pitt’s other half zipped down to the Dominican Republic Monday (Feb 8) in her role as Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. There’s no word on how long Jolie’s trip will last, but so far her itinerary has included visiting with displaced survivors of the still-devastating Haitian earthquake in the pediatric wing of Santo Domingo’s Dario Contreras Hospital and meeting up with Dominican president Leonel Fernandez.

Not bad for day one. Jolie, who along with Pitt donated $1 million to Doctors Without Borders, is expected to arrive in Port-au-Prince today. And that’s something not even we can snark on.

We think that it’s great to see Angelina doing what she does best…..helping people in need. But, we think that it is still interesting how Brad and Angelina were nowhere to be found for a few months and now they are all over the place.

There has been all kinds of chatter about the current state of the relationship between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Well the mega couple was spotted cakin’ in a private luxury box at Sunday’s (Feb 7) Super Bowl putting to rest any rumors that there’s trouble in paradise.

Brad, Angelina and their 8-year-old son Maddox Jolie-Pitt were in town to show support for the New Orleans Saints. Check out little Maddox rocking jersey #9 (Quarterback Drew Brees’ number).  And in case you didn’t know, the couple and their family stayed right in the heart of New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina back in 2005, so we’re sure they have some sort of emotional attachment to the team.

Over 83 million people tuned in last Friday night (Jan 22) to catch the Hope for Haiti Now telethon, which aired live and commercial-free on several major networks and was also streamed real-time online. The effort was spearheaded by MTV Networks, actor George Clooney and rapper/singer Wyclef Jean (who is from Haiti himself) in an effort to raise awareness and relief for the troubled country of Haiti, who suffered a massive earthquake earlier this month. According to recent numbers, over $61 million in pledges were made by members of the general public. Organizers will continue to take contributions for the next six months.

Celebrities who helped out by either performing or taking phone calls from pledges (or both) included Jay-Z, Rihanna, Bono from U2, Taylor Swift, Denzel Washington, Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson and tons more.

A rumor recently started spreading that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie “met with lawyers” to discuss a possible separation, which would definitely impact the children they have together and would require some sort of legal counsel. However, that rumor was shot down by a source close to the couple who said there were “perfectly fine.”

The next day, another insider contacted the NY Daily News with information on why they paid a visit to a high-powered L.A. lawyer last week.

“They aren’t married, so they need to protect their children and property in case there’s a rift in the future,” a source says. That certainly makes sense, considering the two are worth a whopping $330 million combined. So why are rumors of a breakup running rampant? “People hear ‘legal papers’ and assume it means a divorce,” our snitch continues. “But it could mean exactly the opposite. Either way, they’re making sure to get their ducks in a row, which they’ll need whether they split or stay together forever.”

And when one rumor gets debunked, another one pops up. Now the tabloids are saying that Brad and his ex wife Jennifer Aniston are getting back together, now that he and Angelina are supposedly becoming estranged.

COVERS VIA: COVER AWARDS

Some newspaper in London recently reported that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were on the verge of splitting after rumors emerged that the couple has spoken to a lawyer in Southern California about filing for a “legal separation.” The unmarried couple has said on several different occasions that they were waiting for gay marriage to be legal before they got married. Many believed that this was most definitely true after the power couple decided to skip attending several major events that they have attended regularly in the past.

Well guess what people…

This rumor is absolutely false. A close source to the couple has let it be known that the latest rumor on the couple is not true and that they a perfectly fine.

American Heartthrob Brad Pitt was declared A-OK after his motorcycle collided with a paparazzo’s vehicle Saturday afternoon (Oct 24) in Los Angeles.

Pitt was driving his newly purchased motorcycle when he was hit from behind from a photographer and lost his balance.  There has been no damage reported to neither him nor his bike, but the actor is said to have left the motorcycle at the scene after exchanging a few words with the photographer about his carelessness.

Brad was wearing a helmet which he thought hid him from paparrazzi and obviously, in this case, also saved him from any injuries he could have sustained from this incident.

Jamie Foxx has been dubbed the luckiest man in the world after getting the once-in-a-lifetime chance to tongue wrestle one of the most admired women in the entertainment industry! We’re talking about Halle Berry people.

Beyonce caused quite a stir last night as the haters talked about her choice of attire for this year’s Academy Awards. We see nothing wrong with her dress though. We also need to let it be known that even though our girl Taraji P. Henson didn’t actually win an Oscar, the fact that she was nominated should definitely be celebrated. Who knew that “Yvette from Baby Boy” would be nominated for an Oscar just 8 years later? Hit the link below for more pics from the red carpet.
