Brad Pitt has arrived in Venice with Maddox and Pax at his side. Let the Venice Film Festival fun begin!
There was no sign of Angelina Jolie, and no sign of Shiloh, Zahara, Vivienne, or Knox. Obviously, this causes some disappointment since we’re all hoping for lots of photos of Brad and Angelina on the red carpet.
On the other hand, the festival hasn’t started yet. Tonight is the charity dinner for Not On Our Watch, which will be hosted by Brad Pitt and George Clooney. The Venice Film Festival starts tomorrow night with Burn After Reading premiering. It’s still possible that we might get to see Angelina Jolie tomorrow. She might have decided to stay with the babies tonight and then fly to Venice early tomorrow to make it for the red carpet entrance.
It’s obviously just as likely that she won’t show at all since she only gave birth recently, but let’s keep our fingers crossed for a Brangelina red carpet event!
More photos below the cut!







I’m first!

we haven’t seen Angelina for months!
I hope she comes for red carpet.

Crossing my fingers, too. Maybe this is Maddox’ and Pax’ special time with Daddy. I wonder if Mad and Pax will take all the press attention in stride. The kids weren’t on the KFP RC, so I suppose they won’t be at the BAR premiere either.

I am just happy to see Brad looking so good and having a bonding session with his older boys. It seems like a “boys” type of activity with Uncle George and Brad hitting the red carpet for the Fundraiser and the film. That is cool too.
I think they are there to keep Daddy company. Burn After Reading is rated R, so I doubt if they would be going to the movie.

I know I am talking of other subject but want to share…I cant imagine Cher as Catwoman???
I read that http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-Editors-Blog/Movie-News/Cher-Play-Catwoman/800045669
I think Angie would be great being Catwoman….
Glad to see Pax and Maddox with Brad… THey need “boys” days sometimes…

Smart man, has the boys with him, so now the gossip magazines can’t say he walked out on his family to party in Venice. I also am hoping that Angie will be able to join him tomorrow. Does anyone know if she and the other children flew in but are at a hotel?

Snowy, I’m pretty sure there was a Catwoman casting thread, but we mainly talked about Angelina. Don’t remember if any other actresses were mentioned.

Mary Ann, very smart indeed ;) It seems like it’s boys time in Venice and girls time in France. Wonderful memories these kids are going to have. Besides the shared things they do together, as a family, each of them will have special his/hers special things to remember, things that they separately did with their parents. Sweet!
My guess is that Angie won’t show. And as much as I would like to see her, and believe me I do, I know and I’m glad that she’s taking this time for herself and the kids. It has been enough work this year and it will plenty more the next. A few months of isolation, rest and fun are well deserved. Especially that in the fall she will have to make an appearance to “The Changeling” premiere and to promote it. Angie, do not come, girl! Stay out of their cameras! :)) I’m sure that we wouldn’t have seen Brad either if it weren’t for his job obligations.
Regarding the news about Brad photografing Angie and the kids……this is so hot…so romantic…so typical for them. I can’t wait to see the look on Angie’s face (and I am particulary interested in that :P ). I bet it will be the best photoshoot ever.

“Without that money, Luescher said, the World Food Program had been on the verge of shutting down the air service to Darfur, which brings 3,000 aid workers a month to the stricken region. The UN food charity fed 3.3 million people there last month alone.”

Always nice to see the older boys with their daddy, they are giving their daddy company. How cool is that. Still hopeful to see Angie tomorrow on the red carpet with Brad.
The boys are growing real fast & handsome too. God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s always.

Snowy I saw that too about Cher.. I like her as an actress but the people on that post must have been smoking something. I think if Cher were chosen they would lose so many of the core fans of the franchise. She could not pull off the action required. I would love to see Cher do anther movie.. NOT CATWOMAN.
I saw more Pic of Brad and the boys on JustJared. I love seeing him with his kids. They are both so cute. I fear as well that Angie will not attend. But they do bring the kids with them.. Someones stays in the hotel..But as I think one it more.. By having the boys with him, I think Angie is out. I was so wanting to see her. It has been months.

Can’t WAIT to see the pictures in W. I thought the spread that came out when Brad and Angie first got together was very interesting. A friend of a friend was the assistant photographer on the shoot… she said the whole thing was very intense and that Brad and Angie were both incredibly, incredibly sexy people !
Brad looks fantastic, at ease, good, happy. Kids look great too. They all look like they are where they want to be, living the life they want to lead. Makes me so happy.

I really really really hope that AJ will be on the red carpet. But my brain say there’s more change that she will stay at home.

They are so cute! I always love how the Jolie-Pitt family is always together. Angelina is at home with the girls and Knox, and Brad gets the boys. They are the only celebrities that I see actually spending time with their kids. God bless the Jolie-Pitts.
