Angelina Jolie: Brad doesn't want her to purchase another baby

Reports say that Brad Pitt has put his foot firmly down and won't let Angelina Jolie buy another baby. Angelina had her heart set on purchasing adopting another baby from Ethiopia, timed perfectly for the release of her new movie, Salt.

“During Angie’s visit to an orphanage, she fell in love with this one little girl. It was a done deal as soon as she laid eyes on the 3-year-old,” says a source. “Brad put his foot down. He told Angie no more adoptions right now, that they already have enough kids to raise. He thinks she isn’t being practical.”

Don't feel too bad for Angelina Jolie. There are still many photo ops for her to take advantage of at orphanages all over the world.

Brad Pitt awarded for Orleans project

Film star Brad Pitt has been presented with an award recognising the green credentials of his housing project in New Orleans.

The actor, who was at Bill Clinton's Global Initiative summit in New York, said the project, set up in 2007, has "exceeded my expectations".

Pitt's Make It Right organisation built 13 homes in an area of New Orleans ravaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

The houses have environmentally friendly features such as green roofs.

'Greenest community'

Green roofs help cut the costs of heating and keep the houses cool during New Orleans' hot summers.

In response to the award from the US Green Building Council, Pitt said: "We demanded that these homes be sustainable, that they have aesthetic qualities."

He added they were also built with storm resilience, safety and affordability in mind.

The organisation's plaque stated that Pitt's foundation had created "the largest and greenest single family community in the world".

The project is continuing, and Pitt's goal is to have 150 homes up and running by next year.

Pitt, along with actress partner Angelina Jolie and their six children, have a home in the Louisiana city which was refurbished last year to accommodate their expanding family.

Brad Pitt to Rebuild Airport

You know you have too much money when your home improvement projects include rebuilding an airport.

Brad Pitt is apparently trying to buy up property surrounding the French estate that him and Angelina Jolie live in to build an airport.

He's reportedly keen on rebuilding it so him and his family can fly in and out without being bothered by the paparazzi.

“One thing he loves about the estate is the privacy it affords,” a source told the New York Post newspaper.

“Nobody can get near it. So with Angelina completing her pilot’s license, their own airstrip would give them total freedom to come and go.”

That's a pretty expensive project, and all to avoid the paparazzi that are probably going to camp out by the Chateau anyway. But Brad and Angie give a ton of money to various charities each year, so they're more than entitled to splurge on themselves. Next big purchase? Their own helicopter!

Brad & His Beard Talk Rebuilding With Bill Clinton

Brad Pitt's beard isn't the only thing that's growing right before our eyes.

So is New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward, thanks to the bang-up job the actor's ecofriendly foundation is doing down south.

"I don't know how we build any other way anywhere else," Pitt said, addressing an audience today at the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting in New York. "We can no longer tell ourselves that implementing this technology is too complex a problem because it's just been proven on this little spot on the map."

Pitt, who started his Make It Right Foundation in 2007, said that the average family pays $35 per month for electricity in one of the green-minded homes built by his organization, while construction costs have decreased overall.

Hurricane Katrina battered the Big Easy in 2005 and Pitt has pledged to help construct 150 houses. He and Angelina Jolie also live in New Orleans part-time.

Fun! Maddox Jolie-Pitt visits New York City Dave and Busters restaurant and arcade with Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt flew with son Maddox Jolie Pitt this past week to New York City minus mommy Angelina Jolie. Pitt attended the Clinton Global Initiative annual conference, while Maddox spent time relaxing and waiting fro daddy. Radar Online captured these images (presumably Sunday September 27, 2009) that show Pitt and young son Pitt mini handing out at Dave & Busters restaurant in NYC.

If you have not visited a Dave & Busters yet, it's essentially a "Chuck E. Chese" geaared towards adults. The menu offers more gourmet food options (at least as upscale chain restaurants are able to do while continuing to offer American fare), a full bar, and a variety of video games, pool tables, and a variety of sports channels on big screen, too.

Was the outing glamorous? No. Was Pitt likely to have an evening of Americana fun on his U.S. home front with Maddox be relaxing and fun?

We certainly hope it was (for both father and son for a quiet Sunday boys night out on the town without mom).

Angelina Jolie: 'I am a normal person'

Angelina Jolie insists she's a normal person who leads an ordinary life, despite the white-hot media glare that surrounds her and Brad Pitt.

Jolie, 34, and Pitt, 45, have spent the summer with their six children at Chateau Miraval, a sprawling 880-acre wine estate in Provence, France, the couple recently purchased.

“I am just a dedicated mother and really quite normal,” she tells OK! “I dedicate my free time to my United Nations work; I have a sincere interest in social issues. At the same time, my main focus is on my children. I want to be with them for the big moments in their lives.”

On Sept. 12, Jolie visited the Dadaab Refugee Camp on the Kenya-Somali border to spotlight the plight of Somali refugees and seek aid on their behalf.

While she was there, Angelina reportedly flew to Ethiopia with daughters Zahara, 4, and Shiloh, 3, for two days. The girls' trip was the first time Zahara had been back home since she was adopted by Jolie and Pitt in 2005.

Angelina says rumors and innuendo don't affect her life at all because she simply ignores them.

“I don’t ask for all this tabloid attention, so I never read what they write about us," says Jolie. "I have a family to take care of. I don’t even go out that much, I travel and do a film and that’s about it so I don’t understand why people want to know more about our lives."

Recently, unconfirmed rumors surfaced that Jolie's weight had plummeted to below 100 lbs. because she's desperate to get more attention from Brad.

For her part, Angelina is completely unfazed by the endless speculation about her love life and her health. “There is a tendency to know more and more, but I’m so used to this craziness which always surrounds us," she says.

Angelina's next film, the spy thriller Salt, comes out in July 2010.
