People magazine does it right. I was just reading something the other day about Maddox and Brad. People just identified Maddox as Brad’s oldest son – didn’t say he was adopted or Cambodian. I remember reading about famous people’s children and later finding out they were adopted and/or not of the same race. It’s important, but what’s more important is the family relationship.

that was some very interesting pieces about Brad and the fact he’s a serious family man and devoted spouse.to me i say spouse because to them no license or paper can justify their feelings for each other,and we as fans should be greatful that two famous individuals can be happy despite someone else negative statements about the none existance of a marriage license.i’m a big fan of both brad & angie, and i say be happy and god bless your fan

Ligaya- I agree! I wonder why so many magazines do this with the J-P kids (and I’m talking about legimite magazines here. Obviously the tabs shouldn’t be taken seriously anyway, hence the fact that they also differeniate between the kids is also pretty moot!)?

there are some pictures in NOLA at the MIR site. In one of the pictures, you can see Ann Curry. I think there might be an interview for MIR coming up. Good Brad is using his film to promote MIR again.

“It’s a gorgeous movie with a great eclectic soundtrack crammed with everything from Ennio Morricone to a brilliant use of David Bowie’s “Putting Out the Fire.”

“Now that I knew what it was, I could settle in and enjoy the pleasures of a Tarantino film. Going in, most people are expecting a World War II war movie starring bad-ass Nazi Hunter Brad Pitt, but there’s not much of that. It’s a segmented, five-part drama shot in different styles. Part one is genius, the most overt homage to Sergio Leone. Part two is more Guns of Navarone, then you get into the French New Wave, etc. Tarantino is in love with each and every one of his characters and set-pieces and lets them play out. He thinks we’re just as interested as he is. Inglourious Basterds is great fun—for cinephiles. It’s not a mainstream movie.”

Thanks again, Sherry, for your great work. Thanks, JM, for the link, and Neer for the fantastic list (you’re like the unofficial Pittwatch archivist! ;-) ).

I <3 the interview and second everyone’s comments. Only thing I didn’t like = still so much educating to do (in this case, of the interviewer) about not favoring biological children over adopted ones, and in this case it becomes DOUBLE PROBLEM since the adopted children are of color and the biological ones are white.

First mention of the kids, 3rd paragraph: 3rd child, 1st biological – “Their daughter Shiloh was born in 2006.” 5th & 6th children, 2nd & 3rd biological – “Last year they had twins, Vivienne Marcheline and Knox.” Oh,and BTW, as an afterthought – “ They also have three adopted children: Maddox, 8, Pax, 5, and Zahara, 4.”

I hope Brad drops a discreet note to or phones Dot – something like he knows it wasn’t deliberate, but just for future reference adoptive parents consider all their kids, adopted/biological, their kids. Dot should have listed the kids from oldest to youngest, and in the course of the article – which is done later – mention which countries Maddox/Pax/Zahar are from.
