Shiloh, Zahara, Pax, Maddox Snuck Into Mom Angelina'sKung Fu Panda Premiere (Photos)

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."

Angelina Jolie Happy to Talk About Adoption with Her Kids

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."

Growing up fast: Brad Pitt plays the doting father as he takes blonde twins Knox and Vivienne to the park Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1384914/Brad-Pitt-doting-father-takes-twins-Knox-Vivienne-to the park.

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.
Growing up: The twins share biological sister Shiloh's blonde hair and round face

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.
Like father like son: Knox has inherited his father's blue eyes and dress sense

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 incredible '£6million a year' on their kids

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.'

Brangelina's bills according to In Touch Weekly

Private jets - $5 million (£3m)
Food - $36,000 (£21,613)
Clothes - $96,000 (£57,636)
Nannies - $900,000 (£540,395)
Birthday parties - $63,000 (£37,827)
Private cars - $220,000 (£132,113)
Activities - $153,000 (£91,878)

Inside Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie's Family Life

The family that sightsees together, stays together.

Roaming New Orleans last weekend, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were just continuing their family tradition of on-the-go together time with their brood of six: Maddox, 9; Pax, 7; Zahara, 6; Shiloh, 4; and 2-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

But the famously globetrotting clan isn't always on the road: With the kids getting older, school schedules have started to take precedence and the family is often based in Los Angeles – where their day-to-day life is surprisingly ordinary.

"The family live in a way that can best be described as organized chaos," an insider tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story. "Of course it's wild when all the kids are there, and evening tends to be a bit chaotic with dinner and bedtime."

Pitt, 47, and Jolie, 35, "are both good with rules, and there are definitely consequences, like time-outs, for bad behavior," adds the source. "But for the most part the kids all get along."

Shiloh wears soldier costume as Angelina takes Shiloh, Zahara and Maddox for Christmas shopping in NYC (photos)

The four-year-old couldn't wipe the smile off her face as she happily ran ahead of her mother on a shopping trip in New York yesterday showing off her big gap-toothed grin.


Angelina Jolie had treated Shiloh, sister Zahara and brothers Pax and Maddox to a spot of shopping ahead of the Christmas rush.


Shiloh showed off her seasonal style in a bright red military style coat with gold applets making her look just like a toy soldier as she visited Lee's Art Store.


Her smiling sister Zahara, five, was dressed in an almost identical outfit to her stylish mother in a black wool coat and tall black boots.


The three ladies were accompanied by Pax, seven, who was wrapped up for the cold weather in a furry jacket and matching fur hat with ear flaps and his brother Maddox, eight, who looked cool in a camouflage puffer vest.

Just last night Angelina celebrated the release of her new film The Tourist at its World premier held at the Ziegfield Theater.


At the event Angelina, 35, discussed spending the holidays in the city she grew up in.


'I love New York at Christmastime,' she told Entertainment Tonight.


'I used to come here all the time when I was a little girl, with my mum, so I have happy memories of Rockefeller Centre and the park,' said the mother of six.


She admitted she is excited 'to be able to take the babies on a carriage ride'.


Angelina added: 'I think just kind of walking around really was my favourite thing to do. Now it's a little harder.'

What the Jolie-Pitt Kids Did for Halloween?

Jolie-Pitt Kids  Halloween 2009

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's kids definitely got into the Halloween spirit over the weekend in Hungary, where their mom, 35, is currently shooting her directorial debut.

Brothers Maddox, 9, and Pax, nearly 7, got crafty at school (Lycee Francais de Budapest), carving jack-o-lanterns with their classmates on Friday.

And, for their costumes, the famous tykes didn't go for the store-bought variety. Instead, an insider tells UsMagazine.com, "the kids sketched out the types of costumes they liked" and worked with their nannies to make DIY getups for the big day.

On Sunday, the Jolie-Pitt gang had a "a little dress-up party" at their lavish rented home. Pax dressed as a "mad scientist in glasses and a cute outfit," and trick-or-treated at the nearby home of a girl from his class, the insider tells Us.

Meanwhile, Zahara, 5, was "a spring fairy. She looked so beautiful, with flowers in her hair. She is such a girly-girl!"

Maddox wore an all-black chimney-sweeper-like outfit. "He is obsessed with black colors [and] loves the brush they carry," explains the insider.

Where was little sister Shiloh, 4?  Sadly down with a cold, the blonde, blue-eyed girl had to sit out the festivities. (Twins Vivienne and Knox, 2, didn't participate either.)

The kids weren't able to join their classmates for a special Halloween trick-or-treat walk through the city -- but they had candy waiting for them at school on Monday, the source adds.

Angelina Jolie's Kids Starting School in Hungary

Angelina Jolie and her children are making themselves at home in their new Budapest digs.

With Brad Pitt filming Moneyball in Boston, Jolie, 35, has taken the couple's children with her to Hungary, where she just began shooting her directorial film debut.

"Angelina has enlisted her children into (an) elite French-American school that they will attend from next week on," a source tells PEOPLE of Pax and Maddox. "The school has kindergarten, too, where Zahara and Shiloh will attend."

Not only is Jolie making sure her children are comfortable in their new surroundings, but the actress is mingling with the Budapest locals.

"She came over to everyone in the vicinity, shook everyone's hands and introduced herself, as if we didn't know who she was."

Brad Pitt Takes Zahara to American Girl Store (photo)

Father-daughter bonding time!

On Saturday, Brad Pitt took some time off shooting the baseball drama Moneyball to hang with 5-year-old daughter Zahara.

Donning his usual newsboy cap, the actor, 46, was photographed holding the girl's hand at a birthday party for rocker Chris Cornell's daughter Toni at the American Girl store in Los Angeles.

A witness tells UsMagazine.com: "Several little girls were invited to the party and Zahara arrived with Brad around noon. Word quickly spread around that they were at the Grove and a big scene formed outside. Brad was very cordial to fans. As they left, he waved and gave a thumbs up to everyone. He held Zahara's hand, and she looked very happy. She had a goodie bag from American Girl place that she opened as soon as she got in the car."

Zahara - whom Pitt and longtime love Angelina Jolie adopted from Ethiopia in 2006 - has "got an extraordinary voice," Jolie, 35, recently gushed to Vanity Fair. She added that their daughter also is "just so elegant and well spoken."

Angelina Jolie blamed for Shiloh’s cross-dressing style

The tabloids have devoted acres of ink to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt letting their 4-year old daughter, Shiloh dress like a tomboy. But despite her denials, an insider insists Angelina is really the cause.

“She’s been dressing Shiloh in her older brother Maddox’s hand-me-downs for years, “ the snoop tells L&S. “Including making her wear boys’ boxer shorts.”

And the professionals seem inclined to agree;

“It definitely doesn’t look like she dressed herself,” Children’s stylist Zoey Washington concurs

On September 14, Shiloh gave us all ample proof – She arrived at LAX wearing a boys ‘Old Navy’ boys polo shirt, shorts which her brother Maddox was seen in back in 2007 – and huge, unlaced combat boots.

“Maybe her mom had her stylist throw the look together,” Washington ponders.

“Angelina has an idea that each child should have a specific personality she picked out for them, practically at birth,” the insider shares. “Shiloh’s the tomboy.”

Angie even chose a boy’s name – In Hebrew, Shiloh has several meanings including “His gift” and “He who is to be sent” and is traditionally reserved for a son.

And in a recent interview Angelina said she purposely dresses her daughter “like a little dude.”

“Shiloh, we feel, has Montenegro style,” she recently explained. “It’s how people dress there. She likes tracksuits and regular suits. She likes to dress like a boy.”

Brad Pitt also told reporters that, while at home, Shiloh asks to be called Peter or John.

“It’s normal for a little girl to explore the opposite gender,” says psychologist Jonathan Alpert. “But if a parent is trying to deny the child a cultural norm, that’s a different story. Parents shouldn’t push an agenda via their child.”

Angelina Jolie Takes The Twins On a Location Scout in Budapest for her Directional Debut

Angelina Jolie took her darling two-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne, with her on a location scout today in Budapest for her upcoming directorial debut on a film about about a Serbian soldier who rapes a Bosnian woman during the war in Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. Angelina will also take the female lead in the film as well.

Jolie's been in Europe promoting her starring turn in Salt with the twins while Brad stays home with the rest of their brood.

But soon the entire family will move to the Hungarian city dubbed the "Paris of the East" when shooting starts on the film in November (some will also be shot in Belgrade, Serbia.)

Angelina was apparently inspired to shoot this story after visiting refugee camps in Bosnia with Brad this spring.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Kids Roll Like 'Military Machine'

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and kids have apparently commandeered the Claremont Hotel in Berkley, Calif, and have the staff there jumping through hoops to maintain their privacy, including private trips to the hotel jacuzzi.

Brad is in the area filming his new movie “Moneyball” and one report says the staff have had to treat their stay at the hotel like a “military operation” to keep the couple happy.

“We approached the arrival of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt — plus their kids and entourage — as if it was a military operation,” one hotel operator told the Chicago Sun-Times.


Apparently Brad and Angie like to spend a lot of quality time — away from the kids — in the hotel’s spa.

But that means the entire facility has to be closed to other guests.

To have “romantic date nights”, they pay to have the facility closed with “under repair” signs posted on the swimming pool their six children can swim.

In a bow to their egos, and to protect the children from seeing sensational tabloid headlines about them, the hotel routinely scours the lobby to remove magazines with any mention of them on the cover.


”That pretty much cleaned out our celebrity magazines since Brad and Angie are on the cover of those magazines almost every week,” the source said.

But their demands for privacy don’t stop there.

Brad, Angelina, their family and entourage have rented an entire floor of the building, and have had “anti-paparazzi” reflective material placed on all of the windows to prevent snooping photographers from photographing them.

While Brad has been working on the film, Angie hasn’t been lounging around the hotel all day.

The actress reportedly sneaks away to the library at the University of California’s famed Berkeley campus to research a book about the international refugee crisis.

Angie is a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador who has devoted a lot of time publicizing the plight of refugees in war-torn Third World countries.

PHOTO: Brad and Angelina Take the Twins for Ice Cream!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie stepped out for ice cream in Amman, Jordan – and brought along the littlest Jolie-Pitts, 14-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

Ihab Fakhouri, a co-owner of Licky Licious ice cream shop on Rainbow Street in Amman, snapped a photo of the family that was later posted on Twitter.

"They were walking down the street and saw our shop. Brad stopped and said, 'Do you guys have ice cream?' I said 'Are you kidding? Of course! '" Fakhouri tells PEOPLE.

During the foursome's 10-15 minutes in the shop, Pitt sampled several flavors and ended up with a cup of pecan, caramel and vanilla ice cream, which he shared with Vivienne. Jolie decided on the mango ice cream and gave Knox some. "Knox loved the mango. He was like, 'Wow!' " says Fakhouri.

"The kids look so much like Angelina. They look like their mother. But they have Brad's eyes," adds Fakhouri. "They looked like really happy kids."

Pitt and Jolie chatted with the owners about Jordan, where they have visited before. Jolie said "they like coming here," according to Fakhouri. Pitt and Jolie have been in the Middle East to visit Iraqi refugees in Syria as part of Jolie’s work as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR.
