With Angelina Jolie at home with Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt back in France, it was only a whirlwind visit when Brad Pitt was spotted leaving Venice with Maddox and Pax. They were cruising out on a water taxi to head out when photographers spotted them.
He might have only been in town a short time, but Brad made the most of it. Apparently his charity dinner that he co-hosted with George Clooney for Not On Our Watch was quite the hit. And I was wrong too – I guess the duo managed to look wide awake and refreshed for their Wednesday morning photocall on precious little sleep after all. According to People, the party was a roaring success with 200 VIPs in attendance, and both Brad and George had a late night:
“We’ve had a lot to drink,” said a jacketless Pitt, 44, laughing and raising his champagne glass. A tan and trim-looking Clooney, 44, had his shirt unbuttoned.
George Clooney turned in at a little after 2 a.m., while Brad chatted it up until 3 before turning in.
Meanwhile, Burn After Reading is getting some mixed reviews from the critics, although the general word seems to be that Brad does a great job in his role. I’m not surprised by the mixed reviews, to be honest. While I know that I’m probably going to enjoy the movie, that’s because I know that I’ve liked Coen brothers’ movies in the past. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea and it’s not the first time they’ve gotten thumbs up and thumbs down in the same article.
I’m sure Brad and Angelina were happy to be back together at home in France; it was only a few days, and they’ve done it before (such as when Angelina was in Prague and Brad had to fly out to Montreal for a couple of days to film something for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), but they make such an effort to not be separated from each other or the kids that a few days is likely plenty long enough for the Jolie-Pitt family.
(Have you entered the mega-Burn After Reading contest yet?!)
Sherry: Clooney is 47 years old not 44. I’m glad that Brad & his sons are back home in France, I bet Brad missed the girls, Knox & Angie. God bless them.

this is the first time the boys went with Brad. Guess he was giving Angie a break from all 6 kids. He is a good dad. I am sure the boys are happy to see mom and siblings and Angie is happy to see them.
There are pics at X-17 of after party following the premier. Someone had posted that Brad had a little too much to drink. I have only seen them on X-17 but not on Getty or Bauer. I really think it the fast action of the camera that is taking awkward pics of Brad.
Pax seems full of life as they leave and Mad looks a little shy.

i don’t think there’s anything wrong if brad had too much drink, he was just probably enjoying the night. and i agree, pax is getting more cuter in every photo and mad is well behave now. brad probably missed his girls and knox badly.

Hi all,
I am sending this email from Manila. I arrived yesterday via Quantas. The internet use here is cheaper than Australia. 20 pesos for one hour. Thanks Sherry for all the updates of BAR premier. I took two posters of Brad at Brisbane airport: two jewelry stores advertising tageur watch that he was wearing. One photo appreared on a magazine before. In Australia, Woman’s Day is a tabloid so I bought the Australian version of People called Hello.
Hi Isacutie. It is very hot here right now.

ok this has nothing to do with the movie, but I saw a pic of Brads forearm this week…. Is that a tatoo of a naked lady?, what does it say off to the side? Please inform me, I have never seen that tatoo before and am very curious…

I am sure everyone is happy together again. The boys are so cute, Madd quiet as usual and Pax looking so care free.

I love Brad and Angelina!!!!!!!! I will be seeing Burn After Reading when it comes out here, it looks so funny. I bet Angelina is so proud of Brad and all that he’s doing to raise money and also his award. Brad has to be over the moon in love with Angelina as well for giving him the family he always dreamed of.

Pictures are fine, he is not drunk at all, tabloids made a big deal out of it, they need to sell their magazines that’s all. Seeing him drinking with other people, he is an adult, he needs to enjoy once in a while but I doubt he gets drunk though. Brad knows better & remember he his with his sons to check at night. Now he is back home in France, his daddy duty again with 6 kids.
Lucy, enjoy your vacation, how long you are going to stay there? I will visit Philippines in 3 years.
God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.

Definitely, I will watch Burn After Reading. Support Brad & Angie & we also support their charities.
Peace & blessings.

i read somewhere that it says:
L’absurdite de l’existence, means LIFE IS ABSURD or literally, The absurdity of existence.
i’m not quite sure if this accurate.

looks like Brad has slimed down some. so what if he had a few. sometimes you just gotta let loose. The kids were tucked away safe and sound with a sitter and daddy had a night to himself. hell, I have done that myself. 6 kids in 3 yrs, heck he deserves a drink and a night out with friends and peers plus he was doing a good thing.

GOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU PITTWATCHERS. TODAY IS THE 3RD ANNIVERSARY OF THE RECOVERY AND RESILIENCY OF KATRINA SURVIVORS. Recovery is lagging behind due to ineptitude from top to bottom on the official side. But private citizens and public nonprofits have stepped up to fill the need. Brad’s MAKE IT RIGHT PROJECT will have its first completed house today – 5 more are virtually complete. I like to think of that first house as the PITTWATCHER HOUSE, made possible by all Pittwatchers’ donations combined. MIR always needs donations to complete their goal of 150 houses, so please continue giving. The families will thank you, the environment will thank you, and Brad will personally come to your house and give you a kiss on your cheek. (OK, I just made up that last part.) Working for the same goal as Brad, Habitat for Humanity has been building houses right and left, volunteers come from all parts of the country – schools, churches, NBA, members of the entertainment industry, etc. THERE’S HOPE.

The mixed reviews are not a surprise – you are bang on Sherry! I guess not everyone can appreciate the genius that is the Coen bros. I, for one, will be heading out to the theatre to see Burn after Reading, because I’m sure it’s brilliant. I don’t run out to see every Brange pic either – this one looks like it could become a classic. I’m super excited about it!

GOOD MORNING, PITTWATCHERS. TODAY IS THE 3RD ANNIVERSARY OF THE HORROR CALLED KATRINA, as Gustav bears down on NOLA . (Actually the horror was also caused by incompetence of the Army Corps of Engineers, officials at all levels from mayor to governor and legislature to the White House (in charge of FEMA). But much of what visitors enjoy were largely spared, and the food and music that makes New Orleans special has never gone away. The historic St. Charles railway is back in service, as are many other institutions temporarily closed by Katrina. New Orleans could still use our business – they haven’t recovered 100%. So go, eat, drink and be merry! And do it all over again. ;-) It’s easy – that’s why it’s called the Big Easy. (I’ve no idea why NOLA is called the Big Easy.)
Anderson Cooper on CNN always does a fine job following New Orleans in Katrina’s wake. I recommend 3 documentaries that helped me understand and appreciate New Orleans – pre and post-Katrina: 1. The definitive, shocking and heartbreaking analysis is of course, Spike Lee’s “When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts.” 2. In limited release, “Trouble on the Water” is the story of a couple who stayed while Katrina raged and what happened afterwards – you-are-there-eyewitness report with raw footage. Executive-produced by actor/activist Danny Glover, TOTW won the Grand Jury at this year’s Sundance. 3. “Faubourg Treme: The Untold Story of Black New Orleans” – look for this low budget movie, no budget for ads; this area was hit hard by Katrina, like the Lower 9th Ward. It’s largely unknown rich history provides insights to NO, racism against blacks and how they survived it, and its reach into the rest of the U.S.

UNDER MOD: “Come on down – let the good times roll!” New Orleans is calling to you. Recommended: 1 DVD and 2 movies to watch out for on Katrina

It may sound alittle off but I hope Angie will stop having young lady as their kids’ nannies. maybe it sounds ridiculous and I’m alittle too much worried but i heard alot about nannies and i will never go with young nannies.
and again it is just me but i don’t like the idea of brad staying up and parting with someone like GC until 3 a.m,i mean he is father of 6 and i really think she should act alittle different. and after BAR’s premiere later night,he was at dinner until 12 p.m,and was seen leaving the poolside bar with bottle according to People.com. I seriously hope brad will stop doing this kind of job.maybe i’m too worried, and i think tabs are getting to me,hopefully Brad won’t fuel them anymore with this kind of actions.
