Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt had a quiet date night at Ago, an Italian joint

121838PCN_Pitt05

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had one of their rare date nights on Saturday in West Hollywood. They went out to Ago, an Italian joint owned by Robert DeNiro. I’m sure they didn’t go to the place because it’s owned by DeNiro, although Angelina does have some connection to him – Robert DeNiro cast her in The Good Shepherd back in 2005 and he praised her a great deal during the promotion of the film. She filmed that movie when she was pregnant with Shiloh. Just a little Brangelina History for you. So many connections!

Anyway, I’m guessing they were able to have a date night now because they’ve been on the move a lot over the past few months, with Angelina promoting Maleficent stateside and overseas – she just got back from Japan a few days ago! – and co-hosting the Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict. Angelina gets to take a break, sort of, for the rest of the summer. And by that I mean Unbroken is in post-production, so she’s probably still editing it and doing sound, music, all of that. But that’s quiet studio work for the most part and I’m hoping the Jolie-Pitt family lays low for the rest of the summer. Then, in the fall and winter, the Oscar Campaign will happen. I wonder how it will go.

Meanwhile, I’ve been sort of wondering about Brad’s big (Oscar-bait?) film, Fury. Fury comes out this winter as well and it could conceivably be another strong, quiet Oscar contender. But then there’s Shia LaBeouf. The Beef is probably going to mess with the film promotion. A lot. Bedhead and I were chatting about how it would go if The Beef is still acting crazy and Bedhead theorized that Brad will simply cut Shia out of the promotion altogether and put the focus on some of the other actors, like Logan Lerman, Scott Eastwood and Michael Pena. Wouldn’t be the worst idea.

    They’ll Alex-Pettyfer-him out of the promotional tour. It’s like dude wasn’t even in Magic Mike.

    They had to expect Shia wouldn’t be a part of the promo tour when they cast him, non?

  2. LL says:

    Brad and Robert also starred in “Sleepers” and Angelina and Robert both did voice work for Shark Tale also. Also, this same restaurant that Angelina and Brad went to after the Oscars.

  3. Tanguerita says:

    she looks completely vacant in all the pictures, like no one is home.

    • Side-Eye says:

      Personally I think she almost always looks like that but these are pap photos after a date. I’m sure she’s uncomfortable.

    • Abbott says:

      That’s how I look after Olive Garden. It’s just a pasta coma.

      • GlimmerBunny says:

        😀

      • doofus says:

        holy crap, you made me laugh so hard! and you’re probably right…!

        I think it’s nice to do “date nights”. BF and I do one every week. and I imagine it’s even better for couples that have kids so they can get a night to just focus on each other.

      • Zigggy says:

        lol- totally

    • Artemis says:

      It might be her tipsy/drunk face.

    • Luca26 says:

      Pretty sure that after years of being papped she’s learned not to show any emotions or react to the questions they shout to them.

    • Kaylar says:

      Have you ever been blinded by about 100 flash bulbs in the dark of night while grown men are screaming? I heard the trick is to fixate your gaze on something else and to never look in the direction of the cameras that way you won’t get your retinas deep fried.

      But by all means…continue to make yourself feel better by accusing Jolie of being…’vacant’ as she’s trying to get to her car in a sea of kleiglights – just know it still won’t turn Aniston into a beauty, no matter how much shade you toss at Angie. Lol

      • doofus says:

        please…this thread has ZERO to do with Aniston or the triangle, and the original poster did not mention either.

        you and others made good points about A)food coma B)possibly tipsy from a little wine and C) flashbulbs from paparazzi.

        don’t make it about something that’s 10 years old. you’re only perpetuating the ridiculousness.

  4. Detritus says:

    I want to know what they ate. Weird, but true.

  5. Talie says:

    Um, yeah, I would cut Shia out. What? So he can walk out of press conferences and act a mess in interviews.

    • kri says:

      I’m just curious about how he acted with Brad et.al. on set. Before he started getting really bad, I liked Shia, and thought he could do well in H’wood. The last few years though-what a terrible mess. Tbh, I hope he gets the the help he needs.

  6. serena says:

    I’m sure Brad knows how to deal with that s*thead, sorry I mean Shia, lol. He’s either gonna force him to behave or cut him off.

    • Lori says:

      Shia will be difficult. He gets on twitter and rants and bitches when he doesn’t get his way. Look how he acted about the broadway thing last year. Releasing people’s emails an shit.

  7. lisa2 says:

    Vacant.. Whatever

    There are some cuter pics of them looking all lovey dovey in the back seat of the car.. I guess when you only see a couple of pics the photo assumptions comes into play.

    There are very sweet pics in the car.
    http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-still-3784376

    so the vacant thing is a total miss.

    regarding Fury.. Brad and Logan have the biggest roles in the film. They will probably do the majority of the press. I also don’t recall hearing any problems on the set.. I mean real accounts; not tabloid stories. Brad is an Executive Producer on the film. I have no doubt that he will handle the Shia thing very professionally.

    • Kim says:

      Thanks for posting @Lisa2.There is also a video @daily mail .It shows them focused on leaving the restaurant through side or back door and trying to ignore the paparazzi silly questions.

      • lisa2 says:

        yeah I saw the video… looks like they went through some bushes.. and yeah the paps were screaming questions. But to be honest they were being pretty respectful. Nothing ugly. I guess you just have to handle them by just ignoring them and keep moving.

        the inside the car pics as I said were very sweet.

    • Ari says:

      tearing up over freaking adorable they are thank you for posting that!

    • Jen2 says:

      If she smiles, she is accused of calling the paps. if she ignores them, she is vacant. Woman can’t win. If you just made your way through bushes, you might want to get the heck into the car as fast as possible, which is what happened. The inside car photos are sweet though, they still look smitten. Who knows with Shia. He seems unstable and in need of some kind of help.

      • Emma - the JP Lover says:

        @Jen2, who wrote: “If she smiles, she is accused of calling the paps. if she ignores them, she is vacant.”

        And if she’s even a little animated she’s accused of being on drugs.

      • Camille (The Original) says:

        So true.

        Also, her skin/make up looks fab here.

    • lrm says:

      they look very staged for the camera to me. Nothing alive or chemistry. People will see what they want to see, I guess. I am neither a mega fan nor a foe of AJ or BP. I’m somewhat neutral. But I don’t think she looks ‘amazing’ every time and she does look drugged [opiates] or empty eyed often.

      Curiously, over the years, I’ve noticed she looks/seems happy on PR tours to Japan. Maybe b/c the japanese culture suits her and they are respectful/polite and have personal space boundaries [i’m totally just guessing here]. And also, she looks very happy/good when on a vaca in africa or whenever they release those types of photos. Makes sense-most of us are happiest in the best environments/activities for us.
      But to say she looks incredible and never too skinny etc etc in every. single. picture. IS a bit over the top. The woman herself has said she feels guilty eating due to all the refugee and war torn areas she visits. Anyway, I doubt their date night would be at a place known to have paps present or called. So I say this is a PR move or to counter some other gossip about them.

      • lisa2 says:

        There is always gossip about them. If they needed to counter something.. what exactly would that be. There have been break up stories, cheating stories, pregnancy and so on. Now which story are they trying to counter.

        They went to dinner. Just like many other celebs do. They have not been photographed in a long time. So again what is the PR stunt needed for? Angie’s film is a HUGE HIT. She promoted her film with a couple of TV appearances and the rest on the RC

        You obviously read a lot of tabloid or take what others have said and apply it to Angie. She has never said she feels guilty about eating because of refugees. NEVER. and If you saw that please provide a link to the article Another dumb story that got around. Just like the one that she doesn’t celebrate thanksgiving because of Native American miss treatment. Then she goes on many shows saying how the family celebrated Thanksgiving. ..

        Everything about her is over analyzed to find a hidden reason for whatever she and brad do.

        They went to dinner.. why can’t that just be the end.

  8. lower-case deb says:

    i always loved the anecdote about AJ’s pregnancy announcement on set.
    “Bob, i think i’m pregnant…” then he went and got her a banana.

    there’s something pratical and endearing about Robert DeNiro.

    • doofus says:

      I never heard that story…cute and funny. I think, because DeNiro is such a private person and not a tab fixture, so many folks think he’s like (most of) the characters he plays. but I have heard that he can kind of be a “softy”.

      • Tiffany says:

        After the interviews and film about his Father, I have a new appreciation for DeNiro.

  9. MrsBPitt says:

    If brad cuts Shia out of the publicity tour for Fury….I can totally see Shia doing something crazy!!! Also, you know if Shia’s not on the press junket, reporters will be all over brad asking him about Shia. Shias has already made the fury press tour a problem and it hasn’t even begun! Poor brad!

  10. Nene says:

    Man, A.J looks beat. There really is no rest for the wicked.
    I hope she takes a break -probably to a beautiful tropical island- rest a little ,have some me-time, heck have some fun! She deserves it.
    On the other hand Brad is looking hotter these days.
    No wonder most women prefer men with a good number of years difference between them. I mean no matter who you are or what you are being a working mum takes a LOT out of a woman.
    This is what I keep telling my guy friends “Marriage and partnership favours the men most and takes more from us…” Gotta stop now cos this is a BIG arguement.

  11. lena says:

    So why isn’t this called a pap walk? If it was any other couple you know it would be. Just sayin. These two don’t go anywhere or do anything without an ulterior motive

    • Tswise says:

      If they go out in public: “pap walk!!!!!!111”

      If they stay at home: “arrogant shut ins who refuse to mingle with plebians!!!1”

      Sigh….

    • Kaylar says:

      Oh stop. In relation to other celebrities you don’t even see this family that often, but they still never fail to rile their bitter cat lady anuston haters just by having a meal or going thru an airport on the odd occasion .

      …these bitter cats get so batshite at Brad ans Angie’s loved up appearances when they are out together that they will inevitably accuse them of ulterior motives: if these fuggiston fans had their way Brad, Angelina and the children would live locked in an attic never to be seen in public again just to prevent these cows from foaming at the mouth and becoming enraged.

      • Wallamalooo says:

        Or perhaps other people just don’t but the holier-than-thou bull? In any event, Kaylar, your remarks are ridiculous in that this family, of all entertainment families, know EXACTLY what they are doing.

        Lena, you are 100% right – if this was anyone else, it WOULD be called a pap walk.

    • Paige says:

      @ Lena & @ Kaylar are trying too hard. They came out through the bushes and went directly to their car. They obviously didn’t want to be bothered. Kaylar, you are just adding on the triangle that will never die.

    • lrm says:

      that’s what i just commented above: that this totally looks like staged PR photos/outing.

      • june says:

        What in the world is the point of staging these pics that were taken in 5 minutes?!?!?!
        They do not need any press right now & are not promoting a thing.

    • mercy says:

      You may be right. Or not. Regardless, it’s fair game to note the difference in reactions. That said, I do wish we could get past this issue altogether and accept that almost every celeb does it at one time or another, for one reason of another. I’m fine with that, as long as it’s not obnoxious and abused to the point where it’s a daily thing (Kartrashians and their ilk).

    • june says:

      Probably because they are hardly photographed. They could go for pap walks daily if they wanted attention, but they do not.

      And the paps caught them leaving, not arriving, so someone inside the restaurant tipped the paps off.
      Also what is the point of a photo op for them???? Her movie is out & doing awesome. They are not promoting anything & there are not rumors about them.

    • Amy123 says:

      This is obvious a pap walk. Everybody knows that going through the back door, through bushes, and rushing to get into the car is the best way to get attention. Haters are so ridiculous. How is going out to dinner an ulterior motive? Besides if they went to McDonald’s they would still be attacked. Claims that they are trying to be “normal”. I think the longer they are together the more hatred people feel. So many hoped they would have broken up five seconds after going public. People are in rage that they have been together for almost ten years with six kids.

    • Ennie says:

      HAHAHA call it however you want, but there is no “source” nor “close friend” saying what they ate, how happy they look together, etc, etc, etc… you may get what I am saying…

  12. Tswise says:

    Her skin is out of this world beautiful.

  13. Ashley says:

    Brad also has the movie Selma so two possible oscar contenders.

  14. Fan says:

    What a beauty!! So beautiful!!

  15. TheRealMaya says:

    Wonderful couple who doesn’t have to do PDAs on the red carpet nor release statements with a source about how much in they are etc to show the world that they are in love. Just one picture with holding hands is enough to see the deep love and respect they have for each other.

    That love is what makes Jeniopaths furious because it’s a true love that has been lasting for 10 years and will probably last for rest of their lives.
