Movies, Interviews, Rumours, News, Controversies and Latest Information about the popular Hollywood showbiz couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. And everything about their growing beautiful family.
Angelina Jolie took all six kids to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in London on Friday, a source tells Us Weekly. Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5, and 3-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne joined their mom at the Richmond Odeon theater for a private screening of the intense, final Harry Potter film.
Brad Pitt didn't join his brood for their cinematic adventure. The family is in the UK where Pitt, 47, is filming the zombie flick World War Z. Jolie spent the weekend in Hollywood, and was spotted shopping with Shiloh and Zahara on Sunday. See more photos from the family's movie outing.
An insider says the Jolie-Pitts "bought a lot of food" for their afternoon at the movies. "All the kids had hot dogs, and they had popcorn and drinks. They looked like they had a great time!"
The Salt actress (wearing Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses) was spotted outside the theater carrying Viv on her hip and holding hands with Knox. Viv looked adorable in a floral pink dress; Knox mirrored his mom's outfit, donning aviator shades and a long-sleeved black shirt.
"They didn't say if they'd be back," a theater insider tells Us. "But they'd be very welcome. We have a few famous residents in Richmond, but nobody as famous as [Angelina]!"
As one of Hollywood's brightest stars, it is hard to outshine Angelina Jolie.
But her daughter Shiloh managed to do just that at Los Angeles airport yesterday.
The five-year-old looked like a little superstar in the making as she styled out a pair of shutter shades - made famous by Kayne West - while walking through the airport with the actress.
Her sister Zahara, six, had a pair of bright white glasses of her own, but opted to carry them in her hand.
Shady ladies: Angelina Jolie, Shiloh and Zahara were spotted at Los Angeles airport yesterday
It is clear that Angelina and partner Brad Pitt encourage their daughters to discover their own personal styles.
The couple's first natural-born daughter wore her standard boyish garb of a grey tracksuit while Zahara looked adorable in a floaty white top and jeans.
Shiloh clutched a Pokémon toy and her favourite blue security blanket and Zahara had two dolls in tow.
The trio - as well as bodyguards and a flannel shirt clad nanny - were flying out of Los Angeles after just a brief stay in the city.
They have spent much of the past few months in Malta while Brad films his latest movie, World War Z.

In keeping up with her daughters, the 36-year-old actress wore a classic pair of aviator sunglasses.
The Tourist star also wore a chic, all black pants ensemble and nude pumps while carrying a large Louis Vuitton tote bag.
"There are no plans for them to marry that I know of – and I would know," Correns, France, mayor Michaël Latz tells PEOPLE in response to reports the couple intend to wed in their adopted village.
"Every year, the rumor resurfaces," Latz adds. "More noise from the American press to sell a few more pounds of paper."
The mayor has been friendly with Jolie, 36, and Pitt, 47, whom he says invited him to their home after they first moved into the Chateâu Miraval just outside Correns, a picturesque, eco-agricultural community with a population of 661, three years ago. There is a chapel, part of which dates back to the sixteenth century, on the property, leading to speculation they might opt for a private, in-house religious ceremony.
Should the couple choose to wed one day in France, which recognizes civil services, they would be married by the mayor of their locality. By law, religious ceremonies can take place only after a civil wedding, Latz told local newspaper Var-Matin, and marriages are also subject to certain residency status requirements and a mandatory delay involving official public notice.

ANGELINA JOLIE has spoken for the first time about shooting her Louis Vuitton Core Values campaign in Cambodia. In an interview for the brand, filmed in a wooden shack on location for the shoot, Jolie recalls her first visit to Cambodia and why it became a life-changing experience.
"I first came to Cambodia about ten years ago for a film and we were the first film back since the war, so we didn't know quite know what it was going to be like, or what the people were going to be like, and it was the first time I became aware of landmines," Jolie says. "I remember standing in the waterfall during one of our shots and they said 'just stay on this side of the waterfall because that side of the waterfall still hasn't been de-mined'. And I thought, as somebody from America, what does that mean, hasn't been de-mined? It's just the craziest, it doesn't cross our mind that all these children, and people walking around these areas, have landmines in the ground and that's just a part of their daily life."
The campaign's tagline simply reads: "A single journey can change the course of a life. Cambodia, May 2011." Jolie's fees for this campaign are being donated to charity.
Get ready for a royal wedding of another sort: After six years together (and six kids!), Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are planning a wedding set to take place within the next few months, three separate sources confirm in the new Us Weekly, out Wednesday.
The "I do's" could take place at their newly renovated Chateau Miraval in Correns, France (conveniently featuring a 16th-century chapel) -- but don't expect a lavish bash in the manner of Pitt's $1 million nuptials in 2000 to Jennifer Aniston.
This super-couple's wedding "would be intimate and informal," one insider says of the pair.
Although Jolie, 36, and Pitt, 47, have long resisted traditional marriage until it became legal for everyone -- gay or straight -- their kids may have changed their mind.
"The kids ask about marriage," Pitt told USA Today in May of Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 3. "It's meaning more and more to them."
The 47-year-old actor brought his two oldest sons, Maddox, 9, and Pax, 7, to the set of World War Z, the flick he's filming this summer in Marsa, Malta.
Based on the book of the same name, the project -- set to hit theaters in 2012 -- features Pitt as United Nations employee Gerry Lane.
Hanging out in papa Pitt's trailer for a portion of their visit, Maddox and Pax were able to see Pitt film a shooting scene that featured him running away from zombies. Both kids covered their ears to muffle the noise from the scene's sound effects, but were quickly comforted by a bodyguard on set.
"Brad was very cheerful and happy to have his kids on set," a source told Us Weekly of Pitt, who also serves as one of World War Z's producers. "When Brad finished the scene, he took to the boys to his trailer and looked thrilled to see them. [While walking] he didn't hold their hands -- I think he likes to treat them like big boys!"
Maddox and Pax's set visit is just the latest item in their Maltese summer itinerary.
"They had a lots of fun and played for the entire two hours, laughing and giggling," an eyewitness said the Pitt-Jolie brood, who were joined by a few nannies and unidentified kids for the afternoon of fun.
As Pitt shoots World War Z, the family has been staying in a rented, palatial $11 million mansion in Qrendi, Malta. Filming for the project will move to the United Kingdom in mid-July.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt take their kids to the Marine Park for a day full of fun on Monday (June 27) on the North Coast of Malta.
The 36-year-old actress put on a wetsuit earlier in the day, during which the family swam with dolphins and visited the gift shop to buy some souvenirs.
Maddox and Pax even took some time to swim in the ocean.
The family is in Malta while Brad films his new movie World War Z.
Looking serene while taking in the sights and sounds around her, Angelina Jolie appears in a new video that coincides with her “Core Values” campaign for Louis Vuitton. “In 2000, Angelina Jolie made her first trip to Cambodia,” a caption reads. “It was a journey that would change her life forever.” In fact, the actress first spent time in the Southeast Asian nation while filming Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and was “overwhelmed by the beauty of its landscapes and the warmth and generosity of its people,” according to a release. She later returned in her role with the United Nations, raising awareness about landmines, and famously adopted her eldest son, Maddox, from a local orphanage. (She even has Cambodian citizenship!) Jolie is the latest celebrity to star in Vuitton’s “Core Values” campaign, which has also featured luminaries like Bono, Buzz Aldrin, Jim Lovell, Sally Ride and Mikhail Gorbachev. Her first stunning ad was released earlier this month, and a longer video will hit louisvuitton.com in July.
Partner Angelina brings daughters Zahara and Shiloh to Brad's movie set
Angelina Jolie put a huge smile on partner Brad Pitt's face as she brought their daughters, Zahara and Shiloh to visit him on the set of his latest movie.
The 36-year-old actress and the girls stayed for an hour and a half with Brad in Valletta in Malta catching up with the actor and checking out the post-apocalyptic set of 'World War Z'.
Angelina and Brad, 47, spent some quality time alone together a few nights previous when they went out to a seafood dinne at the Xara Palace Relais and Chateaux.
Only recently Angelina told OK! Magazine how lucky she is to have Brad in her life.
“I am very lucky with Brad," she said. "He is a real gentleman, but he is also a man's man. He's got the wonderful balance of being an extraordinary, great, loving father and a very, very intelligent man, and physically he's a real man, in all things that it means.”
The 'Girl Interrupted' actress added that she loves being a woman. “I love that I can have children. I love feeling soft, I love being with Brad, I love all the sensitivity and natural emotion.”

Angelina Jolie is making the most of her time in Malta. As Brad Pitt shoots his latest film in the southern European country, the actress and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, 36, has been making a spate of humanitarian visits in the region.
On Sunday morning, Jolie visited two centers housing asylum-seekers in Malta, plus a similar camp on the Italian island of Lampedusa.
Over 1500 refugees have fled the violence from war-embattled Libya to Malta (via overcrowded boats) this year, with a troubling amount losing their lives during the dangerous overseas passage.
"Malta has saved many lives, but it is the daily conditions on the ground that are of most concern," Jolie said in Malta on Sunday morning. "We've spent time today speaking with the government and will spend more time talking about how, together, we can make the conditions more humane, especially for the children."
In this video, exclusive to Us Weekly, Jolie (greeted with cheers, hugs, and handmade signs) meets and speaks with men, women and children at one of those centers.
"We've spoken about our shared concerns about making sure asylum claims are processed as quickly as possible so no-one is sitting in a prison-like situation and waiting on a decision about their status, " she added.
"They are not asking to go to any particular country, they just want to find safety to work, and to have freedom," Jolie, who has long advocated for international refugees, added.
Angelina Jolie is spreading goodwill in Turkey. The actress, who serves as goodwill ambassador to the United Nations goodwill ambassador, traveled to Turkey to visit Syrian refugees on Thursday.
As she arrived, Jolie was welcomed by a large sign that read “Goodness Angel of the World, Welcome.” According to several reports, Angelina brought food and toys to the Syrians, who have fled to the Turkish border after the government’s crackdown on protesters. She spent two and a half hours talking to refugees and taking notes.
The Syrian government is cracking down on protests demanding the resignation of President Bashar al-Assad. More than 1,200 people have been killed since the conflict began three months ago.
Jolie and her children Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne, have been spotted all over Malta, where Brad Pitt is shooting his upcoming zombie movie, World War Z.
The Jolie-Pitt clan headed to the Splash and Fun Park for some water park fun. Then, the next day, Jolie was spotted taking her kids to Junior’s Fun and Learn Centre, an indoor play place. The children looked happy, carrying out tons of toys.
Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their brood of six will be spending June in Malta as he films zombie flick World War Z. Pitt, 47, and Jolie, 36, have rented a palatial $11 million mansion in Qrendi, Malta, just five minutes from the ocean, and plan to live it up with their kids before the movie starts rolling.
But on Tuesday night, the couple soaked up some adult time with dinner at Trattoria Da Pippo in the nearby town of Valetta.
Leaving Shiloh and the gang behind, the twosome met up with ten other friends and colleagues for a sumptuous Maltese meal.
Explains a local insider: "It's a lunchtime restaurant, so it was opened especially for them. Brad wanted a dinner for some of the people working on the film. It was an intimate setting."
As ever, Pitt was "a gentleman" with his love of six years. "He held the door, and pulled out her seat," the insider says, adding that the sat next to each other.
On the menu for the feast? Antipasto of parma ham, salami, Maltese sausage and maltese goat cheese, mussels, pasta with clams, sea urchins and (more!) Maltese sausage, veal with parma ham and sage, plus king prawns and fried calamari.
"They looked relaxed and enjoyed the evening," the source says.
Toward the end of the meal, they were joined by Franco Debono, a local politician, for a quick chat. "I love Malta!" Pitt raved to Debono. "Glad to be here."
(The stars posed for a phone pic with Debono, second to left, a staffer, and restaurant owner Francis Cutajar, far right.)
Adds a second onlooker of the couple: "They are very nice people, very quiet, they were relaxed and enjoyed their evening."
She’s barefoot, wearing her own clothes, no makeup and toting her own elegantly weathered monogrammed Alto bag. Yet Angelina Jolie looks radiant and completely in her element, reclining on a wooden boat in a verdant, lakeside landscape in Cambodia’s Siem Reap province. Jolie discovered the country in 2000 when she filmed “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,” and it sparked her humanitarian activism.
She’s the latest celebrity to pose for Louis Vuitton’s popular “Core Values” campaign — and surely the only one who brought four children to the photo shoot, some of whom had to be shooed out of Annie Leibovitz’s frame.
“People are not used to seeing Angelina in this situation,” said Pietro Beccari, Vuitton’s executive vice president, unveiling the image exclusively to WWD. “I like the fact that it’s a real moment. This travel message we give through personal journeys is a fundamental one for the brand.”
The ad is slated to break in the International Herald Tribune on Wednesday, followed by a range of news, general interest and lifestyle publications, including Vanity Fair.
Beccari declined to disclose budgets for the media buy, or comment on reports Vuitton paid the American actress millions for the shoot. He would only say Jolie donated an undisclosed portion of her fees to a charity.
The campaign is expected to run for at least 18 months alongside a few other recent “core values” personalities, including Bono and Sean Connery. Vuitton introduced the advertising concept in 2007 as a way to trumpet its travel roots and showcase its perennial monogrammed leather goods as a balance to its fashion-driven marketing — and to reach a broader audience. Other personalities who have posed for Vuitton include Mikhail Gorbachev, Keith Richards and Catherine Deneuve.
Also on Wednesday, Vuitton plans to post a teaser on its Web site, louisvuittonjourneys.com/cambodia, foreshadowing an interview with Jolie that will be posted later in the month. In it, she is expected to discuss how her visit to Cambodia was a life-changing experience, awakening her to the plight of Third World countries. She adopted her eldest son, Maddox, from Cambodia and she and Brad Pitt established the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation, which is active in community development and conservation in the country.
“This campaign is about a very special person and a very special journey,” Beccari said.
And a storied handbag. Beccari showed off several paparazzi shots of Jolie toting the Alto carryall, which is believed to be at least six years old. The style is no longer in production, but “we are considering to re-edit it,” Beccari noted.
Through their foundation, Springfield native Brad Pitt and partner Angelina Jolie on Friday contributed $500,000 to the Community Foundation of the Ozarks, to bolster the recovery effort in Joplin.
"Rebuilding after a disaster is a long process," said Brian Fogle, President of the Community Foundation of the Ozarks. "As our neighbors in Joplin begin to deal with the devastation, this donation from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation gives them the hope and confidence they will need to rebuild their lives, homes and community."
The money will be used to support mid- and long-term rebuilding efforts in the storm-ravaged city.
"With the devastating loss of thirty percent of the city, the Joplin community faces great challenges ahead. Having spent much of my childhood there, I know these people to be hardworking, humble and especially resilient," said Brad Pitt. "The locally based Community Foundation of the Ozarks will be working shoulder to shoulder with these Joplin residents for the long haul as they rebuild their lives. We, too, hope to further help with these rebuilding efforts," Pitt said.
Added Jolie: "Our hearts go out to the families in Joplin who have lost so much."
Angelina Jolie has taken on her fair share of challenging roles, but the Oscar-winning actress recently spoke about one of her most difficult roles to date: Cleopatra. Miss Jolie is set to star in the remake of the critically acclaimed, 1963 film starring Elizabeth Taylor, and the actress is aware she has very large shoes to fill.
The big-screen remake, titled "Queen of the Nile: Cleopatra, A Life," is said to be a unique interpretation of the classic tale. Prior to her death, Taylor reportedly voiced concerns about the remake, particularly the casting of Miss Jolie in her iconic role.
"My performance will never be as lovely as Elizabeth's," Miss Jolie told the Telegraph in a recent interview.
Miss Jolie plans to approach the Egyptian queen from a different angle. "We are trying to get into a different truth about her as a pharaoh in history and not as a sex symbol, because she really wasn't," she said. "She has been very misunderstood.
"She was very interesting, but she wasn't a great beauty," Miss Jolie said. "She was a very strong mother, she spoke five languages and she was a leader."
The film doesn't hit theaters until 2013, and the director has yet to be confirmed, but Miss Jolie has expressed interest in working with David Fincher of "The Social Network." The male lead is still up in the air as well, but actor Johnny Depp has said he thinks Miss Jolie's beau, Brad Pitt, would be a good fit.
"They're the Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton of our era," he said.
Angelina Jolie is gushing about Brad Pitt in a new interview, sharing that her partner is "a real gentleman" and an "extraordinary, great, loving father."
"I am very lucky with Brad," she told the paper. "He is a real gentleman, but he is also a real man's man."
"He's got the wonderful balance of being an extraordinary, great, loving father, a very, very intelligent man and physically he's a real man," she added, blushing to the reporter, "in all things that it means."
As for their family (they are parents to Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 2), Jolie said, "When Brad and I decided to have a large family we decided we'd only do it if we could be really hands-on and take the kids with us, seeing them every day. I am always there on weekends, I only ever work a five-day week, and I am often there for breakfast or dinner. When I'm working they come up at lunch."
She added, "It's a special time for Daddy when Mom works for a few months. And Brad is such a great dad. When I'm working he's putting in the extra dad time, and that's special for their relationship, too."
When asked if she and Pitt would marry, she said simply, "We are obviously extremely committed to the children and as parents together."
Jolie, who is currently promoting "Kung Fu Panda 2," is set to take on the title role in a remake of "Cleopatra," to be directed by David Fincher.
"She has been very misunderstood," Jolie said of the historical figure, famously played by Elizabeth Taylor in the 1963 film. "I thought it was all about the glamour, but then I read about her and she was a very strong mother, she spoke five languages and she was a leader."
In the parking lot outside a Los Angeles photo studio, a scruffy-looking guy sporting a goatee, black T-shirt and motorcycle boots sits on the curb puffing a cigarette. He's listening intently to a stylish man rave about a cool camera shop. A passerby would barely notice the pair as they head into the building.
But when the photographer starts shooting, the bearded guy seems to undergo a transformation. Grooving to Jimi Hendrix on the sound system, he assumes an expression of ineffable cool, his posture somewhere between rakish and regal. He radiates glamour by the gigawatt. Suddenly, he's Brad Pitt.
That name, of course, refers to several entities that occupy the same broad-shouldered, 5-foot-11-inch frame. There's the actor, whose talent and charisma draw crowds to movie theaters worldwide. There's the celebrity, twice declared “Sexiest Man Alive” by People magazine, whose private life has been a source of public fascination for more than a decade. There's the Brad Pitt of the past, who has put his stints as a serial romancer of co-stars (Gwyneth Paltrow, Robin Givens, Juliette Lewis) and errant husband of Jennifer Aniston (from whom he was divorced in 2005) far behind him.
Now 47, Pitt is an unabashed family man. Fatherhood is, indeed, his most consuming project: raising an unruly brood of six children ages 2 to 9 — three of them adopted, three biological, born in five different countries — with partner Angelina Jolie. Their effect on Pitt has been, by his own account, profound. He credits parenthood, in great part, for his hard-won maturity.
“Kids hold up a mirror to you,” he says in his first extensive interview since 2009. “You can't make excuses. You've got to make sure they've brushed their teeth and eaten a good breakfast. You want to be present if they wake up with a bad dream.”
The responsibility weighs heavily on the now-middle-aged actor. In a display of emotion any parent would relate to, Pitt says fears about his kids' safety “keep me up at night.”
But unlike in most families, Pitt's worries have an added dimension. “We're hunted,” he says, flexing his tattooed, muscular forearm as if contemplating retaliation. “Our kids have to live behind a gate. Outside, there are people with cameras.
“But I'll take the trade-off. I never knew I was capable of experiencing so much love.”
In his newest movie, the sprawling and poetic Tree of Life — directed by the legendary Terrence Malick and opening in some cities this weekend — Pitt plays a father of three boys in 1950s Texas. (One son grows up to be an architect, played by Sean Penn.) That's fitting: Parenthood is increasingly central to Pitt's sense of self, influencing everything from the movies he chooses to make — “I want to leave some work behind that my kids will be proud of” — to his vision of the future with Jolie.
Though he has said the couple would wait to wed until gay people could do so legally, he now acknowledges that the timetable may change. “The kids ask about marriage,” he says, sinking wearily into a sofa. He takes a sip of cappuccino. “It's meaning more and more to them. So it's something we've got to look at.”
For all the luxuries Pitt can give his children, he regrets that he can't pass on the freedom he had as a child growing up the eldest of three siblings in Springfield, Mo., where his father owned a trucking company and his mother was a high school counselor.
“On the road, we're a military mobile unit,” he says. “The kids have got their stuff down to one backpack, and they're each responsible for their own bag. Mom does the packing; she's quite gifted at that. Puts in just what we need — nothing extra.”
The family migrates between the multi-house Los Angeles compound he calls “our base camp” and film sets around the globe, spending downtime at a 1,000-acre estate in southern France.
“We're pretty nomadic,” he says. “We go where the crops are.”
Pitt concedes that his family life “seems a bit extreme.” But “I like extremes. I guess I've always operated that way.”
Still, he says, “Angie and I do everything we can to carve out some semblance of normalcy for them, to re-create the kinds of moments that were special for us. It's not unusual for the kids to be covered in paint. We have mud fights. It's chaos from morning until the lights go out, and sometimes after that.”
The older kids are home-schooled, but their parents try to create opportunities to socialize. The family sometimes sneaks past the paparazzi to an undisclosed location for a football game with friends.
Pitt and Jolie carve out time to nurture their own relationship as well.
“There are no secrets at our house,” Pitt says, his blue eyes crinkling in a slightly wicked smile. “We tell the kids, ‘Mom and Dad are going off to kiss.' They go, ‘Eww, gross!' But we demand it.”
As he navigates his fifth decade, Pitt has begun to ponder the long term. “Will I be acting when I'm 80?” he asks rhetorically. “Definitely not.”
A passionate amateur photographer and architect (whose Make It Right foundation is building environmentally sustainable homes in New Orleans for low-income residents displaced by Hurricane Katrina), he aims to explore those vocations more deeply in the coming years. He also wants to improve his French and his cooking skills — now limited to bacon, eggs and flapjacks.
But Pitt won't be trading in biker boots for house slippers anytime soon. “I hope to keep riding motorcycles,” he says with that devilish grin, “until I can't stand up anymore.”
At the L.A. premiere of the Palme D'Or winning 'Tree of Life' - Brad Pitt, accompanied by Angelina Jolie, talks about how his role made him reflect on parenting, and sends his thoughts to those affected by the tornado in Missouri.
Angelina Jolie was a no-show at Tuesday night's NYC red carpet premiere of her flick Kung Fu Panda 2, where costars Lucy Liu and Jack Black had to make do without her.
The reason Jolie, 35, played hooky? To support her man, Brad Pitt, across the country in L.A.! Smooth-faced and dapper in a Tom Ford suit and David Yurman sunglasses, Pitt, 47, hit the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) for the premiere of his film The Tree of Life, which just won the top prize at the Cannes Film Fest.
Jolie was at Pitt's side in a jaw-dropping new look: a diaphonous, bright red one-shoulder gown by Jenny Packham, accented with Tiffany jewelry and Stuart Weitzman heels.
The duo caused such pandemonium upon their arrival that Pitt's costar, Jessica Chastain, halted her interviews because of the overcrowded red carpet. See more photos of Brangelina at The Tree of Life premiere.
Will Pitt and Jolie's six kids become actors like their world-famous parents?

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and her siblings aren't quite ready for the red carpet yet -- but they still got to cheer on their world-famous mom at Sunday's Hollywood premiere of Kung Fu Panda 2!
Although Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt walked the red carpet at Grauman's Chinese Theater without their brood, they were spotted exiting the screening with their four eldest.
After catching the animated sequel, Little Shiloh, 4 and brother Maddox, 9, held onto their mom Jolie's hands outside the the theater; Zahara, 6, and brother Pax, 7, walked out with their dad Pitt, 47.
As usual, the celeb kids each rocked their own unique styles: Shaggy-haired Shiloh sipped on a Kung Fu Panda 2 cup and wore a black vest, tie and pants, white button-down shirt and combat boots; drinking from a similar cup, Zahara wore a trench coat, grey shirt, slim black jeans and purple scrunch boots. Grinning ear-to-ear, Maddox sported a mohawk, black sweater, denim and black Converse high tops; Pax kept it more preppy-casual in a blazer, jeans and sneakers.
The famous clan are back from the Cannes Film Fest, where Jolie, 35, and Pitt were both promoting films.
But it apparently wasn't the first time Shiloh and the gang watched their mom's new movie. At a press junket in Cannes, Jolie explained that her kids had already seen the flick -- and gave it a big thumbs up.
"The kids loved it! They laughed out loud hysterical."
Good thing, because the film "deals with family and adoption," she said, and she worried that her brood of biological and adopted kids might be bothered by "such a heavy issue."
Added the mom: "We talk very openly in our house. 'Orphanage' and 'birth parents' are happy words in our house."
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie caused a crowd frenzy in Cannes with the simple act of holding hands. OK, make that the two most famous and perfect-looking people on the planet were holding hands.
The duo's PDA was on display as they visited a French restaurant last night and had a romantic meal, perhaps celebrating the announcement that Jolie's directorial debut was picked up by a distributor and the premiere of Pitt's latest prestige pic, the Terrence Malick-helmed The Tree of Life.
So who purchased Jolie's controversial film on the Bosnian War? And what did the reviewers say about Pitt's performance?
First Jolie's movie, which is set during the Bosnian War and focusing on a fictional romance between a Bosnian woman and a Serbian man. The film made headlines for its trouble-plagued shoot. The production was initially banned from being filmed in Sarajevo after Bosnian officials had concerns with the script, then it wrapped early in the country and decamped to Budapest.
Well, after months of calling the movie variations on Untitled Angelina Jolie Project, we have learned that the official title is In the Land of Blood and Honey and it will be released by FilmDistrict, a subsidiary of GK Films, in the U.S. on Dec. 23.
Meanwhile, Pitt's latest endeavor is earning decidedly mix notices. Sure, his flicks tend to polarize critics, but there have been huge expectations this time out, seeing that he's starring with Sean Penn in a drama by the iconoclastic Malick, who has made just five movies in his 40-year career and whose rare output usually sends critics into a tizzy.
The Hollywood Reporter likens the movie to 2001: A Space Odyssey, claiming Tree is "hardly a movie for the masses and will polarize even buffs." But the review goes on to say that there are "great, heady" things in the film, "both obvious and evanescent," that will qualify it as an "exceptional and major film." And the trade hails Pitt's performance as one of his fines.
Variety calls the movie an "extraordinary" and "transfixing" through time and memory.
And then there are the outright haters.
Entertainment Weekly gave Tree a big thumbs-down, describing the movie as a sermon that goes off on too many tangents.
Movieline bashed it, too, calling the film a "gargantuan work of pretension and cleverly concealed self absorption" in which Malick pays more attention to the gorgeous photography than he does to the characters.

It's not as serious as some of her films, but Angelina Jolie says she cherishes being a part of the Kung Fu Panda movies – because they're both entertaining and educational for her children.
Kung Fu Panda 2 resonates in particular because it has an adoption theme. And of course, three of the six Jolie-Pitt children – Maddox, Pax and Zahara – are adopted.
"The words adoption, birth mothers [and] orphanages are happy words in our household, and we talk about those subjects all the time," Jolie, 35, said Thursday at the Cannes Film Festival, where her movie is premiering.
The Oscar winner voices Tigress in the Panda films. "I'm especially excited to be in this movie because of my daughters," she said. "She's one of the best characters I've ever played. My kids love it, and in many ways I did it for them."
Jolie, who wore a belted, beige Ferragamo dress with jewels from her own line with Robert Procop, said her partner Brad Pitt and the family are all with her at the festival. "The kids are back at the hotel, running around, having a great time and probably causing a mess," she said. "They love it here."
Pitt, 47, is in Cannes for work: His film, The Tree of Life, premieres later on during the festival.
Jolie said the Panda movies reflect her own sense of family. "At the end of the day, we're all big kids," she said. "Life is very much about family and the family you choose. You can define your own destiny despite what happened to you in the past."
The French Riviera is the place to be this week, as movie stars flock to the 64th Cannes Film Festival on the Mediterranean in the south of France.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are both expected to attend, for different films. Jolie arrives Thursday (along with Jack Black and Dustin Hoffman) for Kung Fu Panda 2. Pitt is due next Monday for The Tree of Life. The couple are expected to walk the red carpet together for his premiere.
Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams joined Woody Allen for photos on Wednesday. They costar in Allen's new film, Midnight in Paris, which opens the festival.
It costs Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie a whopping $10million a year to raise their six children.
But despite the huge bills for nannies, language tutors and private jets, the youngsters prefer nothing more than spending time with their parents.
Brad treated his youngest children, twins Knox and Vivienne, to a trip to the park in Hollywood this week.
Like any proud father, Pitt took photographs of the two-year-olds on his mobile phone, coached them as they came down the slide, and kept a watchful eye as they ran around.
Both looked the spitting image of their older sister Shiloh when she was younger, as they played together.
The pair share her blonde shoulder-length hair, but while Knox has inherited his father's blue eyes, Vivienne's appeared to be her mother's dark blue/grey.

Talking of the twins Jolie has previously revealed they are 'classic boy and girl. She’s really female. And he’s really a little dude'.
From their clothes it seems their mother is right, with Vivienne choosing a girly floral dress for her day out, while Knox was dressed in shorts and a black T-shirt.
Pitt and Jolie are planing on moving their family to the south of France, where they are renovating a £35million château.
While the children have so far led a nomadic existence, flitting between homes around the world, their parents intend the make the château their permanent base.
Pitt's parents are to join them there, to provide a stable presence and hands on help with the children.
Perhaps they will also help cut down on the childcare bills.
As well as spending $5 million on private jets, the Hollywood pair splashed out $900,000 last year on a nanny for each of the children.

Feeding Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, four, and the twins costs around $36,000.
A source told U.S. magazine InTouch: 'They spend more than a million dollars on private tutors who travel around the world with them.
'They [even] once spent $500,000 for one stay at the Waldorf [Astoria hotel in New York].'
The couple also spent an estimated several million dollars on first-class airfare and hotel bills for the children.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie spend a staggering $10 million (£6.1 million) on childcare for their brood.
The superstar couple rack up huge child care, travel and food bills every month looking after their six kids.
As well as spending $5 million (£3.1 million) on private jets, the Hollywood pair splashed out $900,000 (£541,000) last year on a nanny for each of the children.
Feeding Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, four, and twins Knox and Vivienne, two, meanwhile costs around $36,000 (£22,000 ).
And having a nanny for each of them costs up to $900,000 (£541,000).
A source told a US magazine In Touch: 'They spend more than a million dollars on private tutors who travel around the world with them.
'They [even] once spent $500,000 (£301,000) for one stay at the Waldorf [Astoria hotel in New York]."
The couple also spent an estimated several million dollars on first-class airfare and hotel bills for the youngsters.
Representatives for Pitt, 47, and Jolie, 35, were not available for comment.
The news comes just days after it was revealed that the couple were on the hunt for a new nanny.
The pair are apparently prepared to pay a £90,000 a year salary for the lucky applicant.
They will also be required to travel between California, New Orleans and France, as well as other film locations around the world.
As well as a degree in education or child development, Brad and Angelina are demanding the nanny should speak at least two different languages, as well as the native tongues of their children.
Brad's parents, Bill and Jane, recently moved in to the family's Chateau Miraval estate in France to help the couple raise their large brood - meaning the nannying position may not be a lifetime role.
A source told The Sun earlier this week: 'The whole family is going to move there as soon as the renovations are done. At the moment they have six nannies - one for each of the kids - and the plan is to get rid of the helpers and rely on Bill and Jane.
'The annex they will live in is an old building which used to be used as a dovecote. It's big enough to have a sitting room, kitchen and a couple of bedrooms. It will make a lovely little cottage for them.'
Angelina Jolie will earn £6.45million as the new face of French fashion label Louis Vuitton, according to reports, in what is believed to be a record sum for a single advertising campaign.
The 35-year-old girlfriend of Brad Pitt beats Catherine Zeta-Jones' lucrative £3.2m T-Mobile contract with the Vuitton deal, which will see her take home almost double the cash normally bagged by celebrities for endorsing big-name brands.
It's believed renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz will shoot the mum of six's advertising campaign in the next couple of weeks, with the resulting snaps set to appear in newspaper and magazines later this year.
The Estee Lauder deal signed by Jolie's fellow actress (and one-time Pitt lover) Gwyneth Paltrow was reported to be worth around £1.9m, while Nicole Kidman received £2.5m per year to be the face of Chanel perfume.
Oscar winner Jolie, a known fan of Louis Vuitton products and the brand's chief designer Marc Jacobs, fulfilled two previous modelling contracts - one for luxury cosmetics label Shiseido and the other for fashion firm St John.
As OK! reported last week, rumors about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt adding a baby to their brood are swirling. The evidence: Angie inked a seventh tattoo of geographical coordinates on her left shoulder to go with the half-dozen others that signify the places in which each of her children were born. (Though some say, because the latitude line passes through Brad’s hometown of Shawnee, Okla., the ink symbolizes a secret wedding.)
As usual, the world’s most glamorous couple have reserved comment either way, but now we can add another bit of visual validation for the pregnancy theory: When Brad and Angie attended the opening night of Center Theatre Group’s God of Carnage in L.A. on April 13 (as guests of star James Gandolfini), Angelina wore a bulky coat that seemed to camouflage a certain, well, abdominal extension!
You’ve seen the serious sparklers, but just what went into the creation of Angelina Jolie‘s new jewelry line, Style of Jolie? “She has been involved, every step of the way,” jeweler Robert Procop tells PEOPLE. “She wanted to create some beautiful art around jewels with the mission of helping children.” Jolie and Procop, who’s styled the actress in the past, started the project in August of 2010, creating storyboards, researching gems and metals and considering various designs.
“Angelina has a very classic style. She is very chic and contemporary,” Procop explains. “[The collection] is what she enjoys wearing on the red carpet, but also what she enjoys wearing when she’s at home. It’s also what she enjoys giving as a gift.” In fact, at Christmas, Brad Pitt gifted Jolie with a bracelet similar to the the five-row white quartz tablet bracelet (above) after seeing her design. Another piece the actress particularly loves is the Angelina Jolie exceptional emerald necklace (above), containing 44 green gems totaling 103.48 carats.
“It’s probably one of the finest collections of cushion emeralds ever assembled,” Procop says. “The stones are just so bright.” Though the line — which features pieces starting at $4,000 and benefits the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict — is only available to private clients at the moment, Procop hints that later this year, a more accessible retail version will hit the market. But for now, the jewels are hitting the road: after a short stint in Beverly Hills, they’ll move on to a gallery in Monaco for about two weeks. Seems they’re following in the footsteps of their jet-setting creator.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took in a night of theater Wednesday, attending the opening of "God of Carnage" at the Ahmanson Theatre.
Hollywood's hottest couple slipped in a back entrance, avoiding the paparazzi on the red carpet, professional autograph-seekers and throngs of mere mortals milling outside the downtown L.A. theater.
Seated in the center orchestra, Pitt and Jolie kept their eyes squarely focused on each other, seemingly oblivious to the double takes and spinning heads around them (even actress Frances Conroy was spotted sneaking a peek). Jolie and Pitt offered polite acknowledgments when Center Theatre Group artistic director Michael Ritchie and his wife, actress Kate Burton, took their seats next to the pair.
The couple were guests of James Gandolfini, who stars in "Carnage" along with Hope Davis, Jeff Daniels and Marcia Gay Harden. The comedy revolves around two couples meeting for the first time after their children get into a playground fight. Pitt kept a hand casually draped on Jolie's God-of-Carnage-gallery knee for much of the show, letting loose an especially hearty laugh when Gandolfini's character, Michael, uttered the line: "Children consume our lives and then destroy them." They joined in the standing ovation at the end, then were quickly ushered out of the theater to meet with cast members backstage.
Also in the audience were Will Ferrell (taking a night off from his new job in "The Office"), Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet from "Modern Family," Martin Sheen; Simon Helberg of "The Big Bang Theory," Aubrey Plaza of "Parks and Recreation," Troian Bellisario of "Pretty Little Liars," Andrea Bowen of "Desperate Housewives, and Sara Gilbert of "HawthoRNe." Others included Ron Livingston and wife Rosemarie DeWitt, Mira Furlan, Tony Shalhoub, Bradley Whitford, Annie Potts and Jason Alexander. Click the pic above for more photos from opening night.
Spotted at the after-party at Chaya Downtown: Sandra Oh of "Grey's Anatomy," Anjelica Huston, Stacy Keach, Julian Sands, Jon Polito, Gina Gershon, Eric Idle, playwright and screenwriter Christopher Hampton and Camryn Manheim.
Angelina’s gold band has the rumor mill buzzing again — after she tattooed a seventh coordinate on her arm that turned out to be for Brad! Did they have a secret wedding?

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt might have made it official! The mom-of-six is wearing a gold wedding band on her ring finger — but it’s on her right hand. OK! Magazine reports that this is a very common French tradition and since the brood has been living in the south of France, it makes sense she choose to do this!Angie is sporting the geographical coordinates of Brad’ birthplace, Shawnee, Okla., on her left arm, adding to the tattoos of the latitudes and longitudes of the birthplaces for each of her six children.
Brad and Angelina have stuck to their no-marriage stance since getting together in 2005 on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. But the ring and new tattoo may mean Angie has taken the plunge with her long-time partner!
“It means she is fully committed to Brad for life,” a source tells OK! “And it wouldn’t surprise anyone that she’s eager to show off the ring.”
