Just when you think the superstar couple known as Brangelina are too blessed to share in normal activities, they come up with a good one. As Brad and Angelina walked the red carpet for the Tokyo premiere of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Brad chatted with Reuters UK. He admitted that he and Angie haven’t had time to celebrate their dual Oscar nominations because they’ve been too busy changing twins Vivienne’s and Knox’s diapers.
Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been blessed with twin Oscar nominations as well as twin babies, but say they are too busy changing diapers to celebrate.
The couple strolled up the red carpet on Thursday for the Japan premiere of Pitt’s latest film, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” which gained him an Academy Award nomination for best actor.
Jolie, who already boasts an Oscar, has been nominated for the best actress award for her performance in “Changeling,” directed by Clint Eastwood.
“Man, we’re too busy dealing with Kleenexes and diapers and getting everyone fed to really celebrate. We’ll do that next year,” Pitt told Reuters.
In July 2008, Jolie gave birth in France to twins, a girl named Vivienne Marcheline and a boy named Knox Leon. Jolie and Pitt are parents to four other young children — adoptees Maddox, Pax and Zahara, and their first biological daughter, Shiloh.
Pitt said he was excited that the couple had been nominated for awards at the same time. “It is nice, we go and support each other — very cool and rare I think,” he said.
Pitt and Jolie arrived in Japan with all six of their children on Tuesday to promote their respective films.
“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” a costly drama that took decades to get to screen, leads the field of Oscar contenders with a total of 13 nominations — one short of the record shared by “All About Eve” (195O) and “Titanic” (1997).

All of us overanalyze the Jolie-Pitts, for better or for worse, but I wonder what Brad means. They can’t find the time for one measly little champagne toast? One high-five? One fist-bump? One night of raunchy sex at a hotel away from the kids? But I don’t blame them for spending their time with the babies. It must take all day just to repeatedly pinch their chubby little cheeks.

He’s no Clark Gable, not even close, so he should stop trying.
BEAUTIFUL
Is the term vaccuous relevant here? IMO Pitt is becoming more stupitt as he’s getting older.
Ms Jolie is a startling reminder of a Queen Bee ruling the roost and pushing out an army! Or is it now the Ant queen as the black widow is not apt yet.
Whatever! I must say ala Jolie is looking very good for early middle age fashionista!
I think Brad sometimes try to downplay stuff. If he said yes we spend time celebrating, there will be people complaining about how vain he is that he is celebrating being nominated. I just think they are in a precocious position of damn if you and damn if you don’t.
Well that dress is a little more revealing than the other ones. I don’t know if this was before or after the SAGS or globes, but I like it. It’s stunning.
I can’t wait until he gets rid of the stache.
If you believe they spend thier time changing diapers, I have some swamp land for you..cheap..they are looking mighty smug lately..can’t stand either one of them!
She looks more and more plastic every year and his stache is from a bad 70’s movie. And what is up with his nonstop squinting? Is he trying to emulate Will Ferrell playing Dubya?? He does make an effort to play the peacemaker and try to sound humble, though.
Oh please, parents who don’t have the kind of help those two have still find the time to celebrate the moments of their lives. Yet they act as if they are the most exhausted parents out there.
He can’t answer one single question these days without bringing up the 6 kids.
Angelina is stunning but I don’t care for the sateen. Brad on the other hand isn’t aging well.
They are as full of crap as those diapers they supposedly are changing. Their “too cool for school” act is getting old too. They should also stop trying to act like they are just like us. They aren’t.
Oh FFS, enough already. They couldn’t get any of the nannies to take care of the kids for a little celebration????
STFU Brad. Include Angelina in there too. Do these two think they are the only people in the world who have kids? I know they’re proud of their family, rightly so, but in every gd sentence?
Yeah, I am a proud parent of 2 boys, but I was careful not to “overload” everybody I talked to with constant goings on with every detail. It depended who I talked to. Some people don’t want to hear the endless stories.
Doe Pitt ever use a sentence that doesn’t include “man”??
He’s no Clark Gable, not even close, so he should stop trying.
Where on earth did you come up with that analogy?
They look fabulous. I love the cut of AJ’s dress.
i guess she did not get the whole “changing appearance for a movie role-concept”…
Wasn’t it just last week that Brad said he didn’t sign up for this job to discuss his personal life? Hypocrite….
Well…some parents don’t LIKE leaving babies with nannies to go to a party. Maybe one of the kids asked them not to go. Maybe the nanny was sick. There are a million reasons why.
I don’t understand the hostility. These people have 6 kids. I can guarantee you they change some diapers…with their own little hands.
Frankly, I’d like to see them skip MORE parties to stay home. There will be loads of parties and red carpets after the kids are older.
That’s weird, I thought they celebrated plenty at the post-globes parties and the Post-SAG parties…
@keekee – “… and his stache is from a bad 70’s movie.”
a bad 70’s porno movie. FIXED.
prissa: LOL ! You’ve got that right, my bad! 😉
Simple Daisy, the mustache, the hair and the squint.
What happened to her face?
It’s completely distorted and stuck.
How old is Aneglina supposed to be? She looks like a 50 years old with too much work done on her face.
Pretentiousness – thy names are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
Baho, I got the joke! 🙂
Look at him now compared to even a few years ago. Wow, ragged!
Hmmm, a bit, I see where you’re going with that.
Why do they keep hiding behind their kids and keep shoving their children in every professional interview or promotional duty.
They are your children, and should not be used as material to promote your ambitions.
Their acting is not good enough so they keep bringing the children up.
Just like in politics, kids sell pictures, but this has gone too far, even for selfish people who would do anything to promote themself.
Whoa! AJ’s face is becoming unrecognisable. She’s a Cher/Madonna hybrid these days.
Ned, Blue an other haters out there- the game is this; the yellow journalists beg the PR firms the celebs use for some press release and the usually get it. Why? Because that’s what PR firms are paid for. Better that than answer a ringing phone 24/7 for the sound bites and non-news the tabloid industry thrives on. They didn’t sell their kids or their lives out or any of the other half-congealed monkey-sh*t your little self-righteous conspiratorial minds have concocted.
Period. G.O.I.
dante, oh forget it. you’re not worth the effort.
Ignore him, Ned. In dante’s mind, he’s besties with B&A.
Hope ~
You hit the nail on the head there. I think they are damned if they do or damned it they don’t.
@Dante, don’t waste your time on the trolls.
They are delusional and are usually the same person, changing their name, agreeing with themselves, repeating the same banal drivel on every AJ/BP/JA thread.
‘Ned’ is probably your ex-wife.
*rolling my eyes* Like Kaiser said, they surely have time for a high five or a kiss. “Celebrating” doesn’t mean throwing a huge party.
They are so not “damned if they do, damned if they don’t”. If Brad were insisting to talk about the brood then all he need say is “We did celebrate a bit with some congratulatory talk and hugs and whatnot, but you know with the kids it’s difficult to get the time to yourself.”
Simple.
I don’t imagine it’s easy changing nappies in a cape…
These rabid attacks on Angelina and Brad, the bizarre reasons these people come up with for hating Angelina and Brad, are practically pathological.
Well, Dante has spoken and belives he is the only one allowed to voice his opinion.
Daisy, how would you even know if they’re changing their names so they have someone to agree with them? The only way you’d know that is if you were a moderator for the site, which I’m pretty sure you are not.
And are you saying there are only like 2 or 3 people on here who don’t like those two?
I think you calling people delusional is a bit hypocritical, don’t you think?
I would love to live their lifestyle! who wouldn’t?
So they have no time to celebrate due to diapers and feedings, yet they manage to fit in all these award shows and premieres all over the world. I’m sure the nannies don’t help them.
Anyway why bother celebrating a nomination?
Well, Dante has spoken and belives he is the only one allowed to voice his opinion.
Strength is only seen as a negative by the weak.
In dante’s mind, he’s besties with B&A.
Hardly, did my hard cold slap of reality leave your face stinging that you would say such juvenile things ?
Hmmmmm… the “changing names” comment hit a nerve with Cha Cha?
LOL
Don’t kid yourself Cha Cha, it happens.
Cha Cha; you must be new here.
Yes it does happen, more than you think. No delusion on my part, just experience.
I think they just look tired, esp AJ. I think they do spend a lot of time caring for kids, but I think they’ve hit their limit. I hope they stop with 6, at least for many years.
dante, “cold hard slap of reality”????Ouch, that hurt. You really know how to burn people.lol
Like them or not, there exists an strong intertnational interest in Brad and Angelina’s love, their careers, their looks, their humanitarian efforts, their life together and their children. In my lifetime I cannot think of another Hollywood love story this BIG, not even “Bennifer” nor Brad/Jen had such a strong following. These two attract mobs of people like a rock star legend. Their kids will be as famous as they are. There is nothing boring or dull about these two.
YAWN. Are they going away now? Please?????
Did their eight nannies take a holiday at the same time? Who is watching the kids when they are smiling on the red carpets around the world? Are they sitting around the corner in the limo with the driver?
