New Candids of Brangelina on set and at the airport


Brad, Angelina, and their children were on the set of “A Mighty Heart” at the airport in Goa. (Thanks Irish.) Angelina was seen escorting her son, Maddox, while Brad looked hot and fatherly carrying little Zahara and shielding her head from the cameras. They seem to be entering the enclosed bungalow in a gated community that has been decorated to resemble the area in Karachi, Pakistan where Marianne and Daniel Pearl stayed.

All is not well with the Brangelina family and the media storm that surrounds them in India.

Angelina’s convey was involved in a possible hit and run accident with a motorcycle driver last week.

Angelina’s notorious bodyguard, one-time murder suspect Mickey Brett, was photographed and videotaped threatening and choking a British photographer, and now it’s said that another security guard threatened an Associated Press photographer with a gun, and that a different member of Angelina’s security force punched the photographer out:

The photographer representing the AP, Guautum Singh, said he gained legitimate entry to the area and was accosted by security guards after giving Jolie his business card.

Singh said he was down the road from the bungalow when he spotted Jolie in the back of a taxi while filming a scene from the movie. When the filming paused, he said, he put down his cameras and approached Jolie to give her his card, which she accepted through the window of the taxi before it drove off.

At that point, he said he was approached by one American security guard and two Indian guards, all of whom verbally abused him. One of the Indian guards punched him in the face and he swung back, also hitting the guard in the face, Singh said. Then, he said, the other Indian guard “grabbed me and the first guard punched me again.”

Singh said the first Indian guard then drew a gun and said he would be shot if he did not leave. The American guard did not take part in the scuffle, but witnessed the incident, the photographer said.

While the mean mofo that heads Angelina’s security force might not be responsible for this latest incident, he was said to have looked on without intervening. The photgrapher only gave Angelina a business card, is that an offense worth threatening his life for?

Considering this incident along with the stories of photographers getting beat to a pulp and threatened in Naimibia, it’s easy to conclude that Angelina’s security force condones such unacceptable behavior, and thrives on a culture of violence.

The longer it takes Angelina to fire Mickey Brett and send people the message that violence is unacceptable the more her public image is going to justifiably suffer.

Thanks to AngelinaWeb for these photos.

Tom Cruise coaches his son Connor’s football game


Tom Cruise got annoyed when he noticed that his son Connor’s team wasn’t doing that well during a recent football match. He marched up and gave them his own pep talk, no doubt thrilling 11 year-old Connor:

Tom Cruise was recently watching his son Connor play football at his school. Tom spent much of the first period of play engrossed in his Blackberry, but looked agitated when he realised Connor’s team was losing. At the interval, Tom walked on to the pitch, brushed past the coach and gave the team talk himself.

[From the PopBitch e-mail newsletter]

With pictures like these of Tom running across the field with Connor, that’s an easy story to believe. You can tell that Connor is not thrilled with the attention that’s paid his manic father, but he looks like he’s quietly putting up with it.

Katie Holmes has made it known that she’s found her wedding dress. She won’t tell the press which designer she’s picked, but speculation is that it could be Chanel’s Karl Lagerfeld, who she was pictured with at a recent party he threw in Paris.

Tom and Katie are expected to get married next month.

Brad Pitt is a good dad - with 19 new HQ Oceans pics!


Brad Pitt is now back in LA filming Oceans 13, tentatively subtitled “any excuse to see Pitt, Damon and Clooney onscreen together, even if Ellen Barkin is in it,” and he’s been bringing Maddox and Zahara with him to work! Pitt is taking advantage of the on-set daycare.

Our spies on the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles say Pitt, on site filming “Ocean’s 13,” drops off Maddox and Zahara, his two adopted children with Angelina Jolie, at the studio’s day-care center every day. “The day care is available to anybody working on the lot, including secretaries and executives,” said our source. But, “The workers at the day-care center are very protective of Brad and won’t let any of the other parents approach him or talk to him.” A rep for Pitt said, “It sounds like Brad, but he would say ‘Hi’ to anyone who wants to talk to him.”

That’s cute! I wish they had daycare where my husband works.

Meanwhile these new pics on the Oceans set came out. There were just low-res versions before, but these huge pictures of the guys on set are making me swoon! There are plenty of pictures of Damon’s cute butt too! Thanks to Simply Brad for the pics.

Johnny Depp’s French paradise


Fan favorite Johnny Depp leads a quiet, low-key life in the south of France with his girlfriend of eight years, French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis, and their two children. Star Magazine reports that the gorgeous star of “Pirates of the Caribbean” is a devoted dad who walks his kids, Lilly Rose, 7 and Jack, 4, to school and back again every day:

The former Hollywood bay-boy walks his kids to school before spending a few hours working via e-mail. When he’s done, he picks his little ones up and spends the afternoon just hanging out with his family. It’s a quiet, low-key life - and, sources tell Star, that’s just the way Johnny… likes things these days. In fact, despite having no plans to marry Vanessa, sources say the Kentucky-born actor and his girlfriend… are incredibly happy…

A source close to Johnny says the pair are so madly in love, they worry that marriage might jinx their happy life. “Vanessa tells Johnny she doesn’t need to be married,” says the source. “But Johnny has always told Vanessa that the minute she feels like she needs to married, then he’d do it,” says the insider.

(From Star Magazine print edition, July 17, 2006.)

The article goes on to say that Johnny got paid $35 million plus a percentage of the box office for the two “Pirates” sequels, while Vanessa, his girlfriend of 8 years, has focused on her role as a mother and has only been in two films since she met Johnny in 1998.

In an interview in Britain’s The Independent, Depp credits his family with turning his life around, and says he had a “rebirth” after his first child arrived:

He talks about a “rebirth”, which he says stems from his relationship with the French musician and singer Vanessa Paradis, and their two children, Lily Rose, seven, and Jack, four.

“It took meeting the right girl,” he says. “When Vanessa found out she was pregnant with our first child - you start thinking about the future and everything. Then, boom, there’s your baby.” He swirls his arms around then taps his fist on the table. “The same moment that your child is born, you’re born again, you’re brand-new. Vanessa and the kids have revealed me to me,” says Depp thoughtfully, stroking his goatee, tipping his battered grey fedora over one eye, then taking a swig of coffee from a flask. “It’s been liberating having a family, miraculous,” says the actor, who is 43. “Everything changed once I held my daughter in my arms. Until that moment, I had been possessed with me; suddenly, there was someone who depended on me. It was like some veil had been lifted, or a layer of fog had been removed and I suddenly had clarity.”

Interestingly enough, Depp said in 1993 “Ideally, I’d have land somewhere, maybe in France, with a wife and kids.”

It looks like his dreams have come true. Johnny says he would like more children with his French girlfriend and says he doesn’t need to get married to prove his devotion to her.

He sounds like a wonderful father and partner and a changed man. He’s also a talented actor who deserves his massive success.

Depp was presented with the “Freedom of Paris” award last Thursday before the French premiere of “Pirates 2.” He was honored for “devotion to Paris,” even though he lives in the French countryside.

Here is Depp receiving the “Freedom of Paris” award with Vanessa by his side. [via] Depp is still wearing the gold caps from his Captain Jack role, and will continue filming the next “Pirates” sequel next month.

Christina Aguilera won’t even look at interviewers


Christina Aguilera is such a diva. Not only does she arrive hours late for most every scheduled interview, she also refuses to look interviewers in the eye. She insists that the room is darkly lit and sits facing the other way while she answers questions:

Christina Aguilera has always had a diva attitude - arriving hours late for everything, big demands, feuds with everyone from Mariah to Kelly Osbourne.

Now with the release of her new album she’s learned a new trick. During promo interviews she’s refused to look at any journalist. Instead, the diva insists that the interview, for which she’s usually two to four hours late, takes place in a dimly lit room, where she sits and stares in the other direction completely to the journalists while they ask, and she answers, questions.

(From the popbitch e-mail newsletter)

If this is true it’s ridiculous and Aguilera deserves a serious career slump for being so arrogant. Maybe she’ll learn when she’s older that she’s no better than anyone else and that you have to be kind to people - especially the press - if you want a good reputation.

Maybe kids will soften Aguilera’s outlook - although she predictably doesn’t seem to want any because they would interfere with the amount of time she has available to apply makeup. She’s vague on the issue of children and gives a diplomatic answer to make it seem like not completely uninterested in them:

“Maybe after the next couple of years we’ll start venturing into the mindframe of starting our family.” she told In Touch… “I do have goals and a set game plan for myself.”

(From In Touch print edition.)

Notice that she doesn’t say she’ll start thinking of having a family, she gives an answer that’s even more removed from that - “we’ll start venturing into the mindframe of starting” a family. That means no way does she want kids at this point.

She has also called her new album “Back to Basics” her “child” and that it’s like having twins:

She said: “Everyone’s asking when I’m going to have children. I just tell them my new album, ‘Back To Basics’, is my child. I’m having twins! It’s so exciting.”

It is not the first time Christina has compared her new record to having a baby.

Earlier this year, the pop beauty said making her new album was the same as being pregnant - twice.

WTF would she know about having kids or being pregnant? That’s so fucking snotty. Once Aguilera realizes she wants kids - when she’s over 35 and her clock is ticking - she won’t be able to get pregnant because she couldn’t be bothered when she was fertile.

Here she is leaving her New York City hotel on 6/22 [via] and outside of MTV’s Total Request Live on 6/21.

Brad and Angelina fighting over alone time and Brad’s smoking


The lead story in The National Enquirer has Brad and Angelina fighting over the fact that Brad doesn’t get any alone time with the gorgeous mother of new baby and two adopted kids. Brad supposedly wanted to have a private lunch with Angelina, but she deferred in favor of watching the kids. She certainly has enough kids to take care of:

Brad Pitt stormed out on ANgelina Jolie - after tensions over their new baby exploded into a furious confrontation, say sources. Angelina broke down in tears, and insiders fear that adjusting to life with an infant is wrecking their relationship and will ultimately drive them apart.

Hands-on mom Angelina is completely consumed with baby Shiloh Nouvel and her two other young children, and that has changed the nature of her day-to-day relationship with Brad.

Tension between the new parents exploded recently over frustration about not being able to spend time alone.

Brad was hoping for a romantic lunch with Angelina but their schedules didn’t allow it and the situation quickly turned into a fight.

“Even though they have nannies, Angelina is focused full time on the kids,” said a source. “If one of them cries at 3 a.m., she’s by their side. Angie is operating on very minimal sleep and it’s magnified by the couple’s issues.

Lack of alone time has caused the couple to fight bitterly and when Brad realized he couldn’t have Angelina to himself he blew up.

“He ralied at Angelina, but she was busy tending to Shiloh.

“Brad stormed out - going on a long motorcycle trip for the rest of the day to blow off steam. And Angelina collapsed in tears.

“She’s been dealing with so much - the new baby, a sick mother, a relocation to Malibu - that she just lost it.”

(From The National Enquirer print version.)

The article then rehashes Angelina’s fight with Brad when he went out in London one night when she was sick. A “family friend” also claims that Angelina is having trouble breastfeeding little Shiloh, and that she feels guilty that she may have to supplement with formula. She is also said to feel guilt over the fact that she wasn’t able to have a natural birth.

Plus Brad is still smoking, and Angelina may be “fed up” with his nasty habit.

This all sounds like normal stuff that happens with a growing family, and The Enquirer seems to be making more out of it than warranted.

Who knows how bad their fight was? Maybe Brad just wanted to get out of the house and didn’t storm out after all.

He did go out on his bike, though, because there were pictures all over the place. It’s easy enough to draw conclusions based on that.

They were said to be having trouble back in Paris in the loud and dirty neighborhood they rented an apartment in, and Brad was supposedly sleeping on the couch because pregnant Angelina needed the space in bed to herself.

If all of this is true, it seems pretty normal considering all the stress they must be under with the new baby and the move. Even with a lot of help, it’s still a lot of work.

Pictures of Brad Pitt’s Hollywood Home


Brad Pitt’s reveals that he’s an adoring father in an upcoming Newsweek interview. He also makes it clear that he and Angelina plan to adopt again:

Brad Pitt says fatherhood is “absolutely sublime”. The actor, whose baby daughter with Angelina Jolie is a month old, has also co-adopted her first two children, Cambodian Maddox and little Zahara, from Ethiopia.

He told Newsweek magazine being a father had made him more of an activist on issues such as child poverty.

“Whether you have them or adopt them, they’re all blood,” Pitt said of his brood. “And the funniest people I’ve ever met.”

The 42-year-old added: “I look at Zahara and imagine what her life could have been.

“You want to grab as many of these kids in your arms as you can.
“They need our help, and we should be doing more.”

He sounds a lot like Angelina, and he should credit her with his activism, but at least she was a good influence on him. He would be probably be bitching about the rabbits in his front yard if he was still with Aniston.

Here are pictures of Pitt’s lovely modernist home from the July, 2006 issue of Elle Decoration courtesy of Just Jared. His interest in saving the world may be due to Angelina, but his love of architecture is entirely his own, and the man has excellent taste.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban to be married this weekend


Nicole Kidman’s children, Conner and Isabella, have arrived in Australia for their mom’s wedding to Keith Urban. The wedding details are a well-guarded secret, but sources say that it will take place this Sunday, June 25th:

NICOLE KIDMAN’s children ISABELLA and CONNOR have arrived in Australia for the actress’ wedding to KEITH URBAN, without their father TOM CRUISE.

Isabella, aged 13 and 11-year-old Connor arrived at Kidman’s Sydney Harbour mansion with their grandmother JANELLE after flying in on a private jet from Tokyo, where they had been on a publicity tour with their dad.

Kidman and country star Urban will marry this weekend. They have kept details fiercely guarded, but the nuptials are expected to take place in on Sunday (25JUN06).

A marquee is currently being erected at a Catholic church in the Sydney suburb Manly, where the wedding is expected to take place.

Tom Cruise didn’t travel to Australia with his children, but he supposedly sent Kidman a blurry far-off picture of a baby that is supposed to be Suri as a present for her birthday. The botoxed beauty turned 39 on Sunday, and received the photo from her ex with the handwritten caption “A very nappy birthday to you.”

That doesn’t sound true to us and the source is not that solid. If it is true, it lends some slight credibility to the rumor that Kidman is pregnant with her first biological child. She was seen with a tummy hanging out of her sweatpants during a recent yoga class, and seems to have some sort of a bump in these recent pictures.

Kidman is shown at the Shanghai International Film Festival and an Omega watches promotional event in China on June 17th. [via]

Michael Jackson could lose 2 of his 3 children


Michael Jackson’s ex and the father of two of his children, Debbie Rowe, claims that Paris, 8, and Prince Michael, 9, are not Jackson’s biological spawn and were conceived with the help of an anonymous sperm donor. She is battling Jackson for custody of the children, after relinquishing her legal rights as their mother in a multi-million dollar payoff.

Court papers in the odd couples’ custody battle are said to offer proof that Jackson is not the real father of his two oldest children:

Michael Jackson could lose two of his children over allegations he is not their real father.

Secret court papers will reportedly prove that Paris, 8, and Prince Michael, 9, are not the biological children of the singer.

The papers, to be unsealed next month in the court battle over custody of Paris and Prince Michael, allegedly confirm the children were fathered by an anonymous sperm donor.

If this true Jackson could definitely lose custody of two of his children, and it’s probably for the best. It’s bound to be quite difficult for them to lose their father and the only life they’ve known. Jackson is completely crazy and doesn’t seem fit to raise pets, not to mention three children, but it will still be awful for them. It’s also sad that they will be separated from their little four year-old brother, Prince Michael II. Prince Michael II was conceived and borne by a different surrogate than his siblings, and his mother has never come forward. He was the baby involved in the famous “baby dangling” incident where Jackson hung the child draped in a blanket over a balcony in Berlin, which he claims was an attempt to let nearby fans get a glimpse of the covered tot.

Here is Jackson at MTV Japan’s music awards. He is shown with his children in the other low resolution photos.

Is Nicole Kidman a bad mother?


People are saying that Nicole Kidman hasn’t seen her kids in ages while crazy Tom Cruise is jetting all over the world, but still manages to go to Conner and Isabella’s sports matches.

Star thinks it has to do with Tom’s controlling nature, but it sounds to us like Nicole Kidman just doesn’t care:

The actress’ kids, 13-year-old Isabella and 11-year-old Connor, haven’t really been seeing a whole lot of their mom lately, and actually, the last time she was photographed with her kids was Christmas of 2004 at a Lakers game in L.A.

Proud papa Tom Cruise, 43, and stepmom-to-be Katie Holmes, 27, are regularly spotted making out in the stands at Connor’s baseball games and Isabella’s soccer matches, the kids’ formerly ubiquitous mom seems conspicuously MIA. Although she has clearly spent some time with the children since then — and even introduced them to her groom-to-be, Keith, 38, over a casual, gigglefilled dinner at the Hotel Bel-Air in L.A. on Dec. 20 — it seems that Nicole just isn’t as present in her kids’ lives as she was before.’

A source claims, “Nicole probably isn’t seeing as much of the kids as she’d like to, but her hands are tied.”

“She’s juggling traveling from movie sets to Nashville and Australia to be with her family. If she wants to see the kids, she has to come to L.A. and deal with Tom.”

Also, Kidman’s spokesperson told Star the actress avoids being photographed with her children for “privacy reasons”.

But reports suggest that it may be Tom Cruise that is preventing his ex-wife from spending time with them.

A source says, “It’s not like Tom’s actively keeping her out of their children’s lives, but it’s in his nature to control things.”

“He micromanages their schedule — sports, home-schooling, Scientology studies.”

The source continues, “I think she knew when she and Tom divorced that she’d lose a certain amount of control over her kids’ lives.”

“But she deserves to play a bigger role. Maybe the best she can hope for is now that they’re getting older, they’ll start to make their own decisions.”

Obviously the source is a friend of Nicole’s and is making excuses for her absence from their lives. We aren’t a fan of Tom, but couldn’t Nicole make more of an effort to see her children?

It came out in January that a former nanny of Nicole and Tom said that Nicole was never around at all.

Tom may be a crazy cult spokesperson, but at least he’s there for his kids.

Here are Tom and Katie in Aberdeen, WA for a sort-of premiere for MI3.
