Angie’s Secret Birthday Gift to Brad
THAT. IS. TOO. CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to everybody who sent this in!!
Brad Pitt turns 43 in ten days, Dec. 18 and Angelina Jolie had a secret birthday gift ready for him yesterday afternoon in Ohiopyle, (Bear Run), Pennsylvania. The gift involved Fallingwater, one of architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s works, which was designed in 1936 for the family of Pittsburgh department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann. (Fallingwater is the building behind Brad and Angelina.) Read all about it after the jump!!
The Pittsburgh Channel has the story:
Brangelina In Town For Pitt’s Secret Birthday Present
The workers at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater got quite a surprise Thursday afternoon when Brad Pitt and Angelia Jolie showed up for a tour of the estate.
According to a spokesman for Fallingwater, Pitt and Jolie arrived just before 3 p.m. for the tour, Jolie’s gift to Pitt for his birthday.
“Brad said he had wanted to experience Fallingwater ever since he took an architectural history course in college,” Fallingwater’s curator of education Cara Armstrong said. “He and I talked quite a bit about design and art. He was incredibly well-informed about architecture.”
The couple took a two-hour private focused tour, led by Armstrong, who described the couple as “very gracious and very engaged in the house.”
“Brad said he had a visual sense of Fallingwater but experiencing it in person, hearing the sound of the waterfall cascading under the house and smelling the wood from the fireplace was better than anything he could have imagined,” Armstrong said.
After the tour, Jolie had arranged to have champagne and caviar sent in, which the couple shared in a private birthday celebration in Fallingwater’s living room. Afterward, they invited the staff to join them and encouraged them to take the “snacks” home.
Arrangements for the visit began about a week before Thanksgiving when staff at Fallingwater received a call from Jolie’s personal assistant in Asia.

Hello Ate Cha…I am still on a lurking mode but I saw your post so I am trying to greet you. How’s Missori? I heard you got dumped by snow & hit by very frigid temperature. How are you all coping? Hope you are all feeling cozy & toasty now. Here it is cold but the snow pass us so it is just the cold wind that is wrecking havoc here. But I heard that this weekend will be a bit warmer so keeping my finger crossed it will stay as forecasted. We’ll be having our Annual Christmas Dinner this Sunday. Looking forward to it. I even purchased my Kris Kringle gift. I am finally done with my Christmas shopping…my first time to finish shopping this early.
Ain’t Brad & Ange so really gorgeous. I love how they are handling their relationship. Hope they’ll keep it up since in Hollywood is marriage is such a joke.
You know why haters would like these couple to break up is because their idol (that nasty TV sitcom hack) was dumped by another man & remember they are predicting all 2 years that Brad & Angie will not last. That’s why they are doing their best to undermine B&A’s love for each other. All I can do is just shrug-off & laugh at how immature the haters & JA fans are.
Cliniqua, I learned the traffic to the website was so much that their site is down.

WTF are all the fic writers when you need ‘em!! Come on peeps! Get inspired and WRITE something!! Look at all this material we’ve got for the love of weebus!!
The reference to Brad and Angelina going back to Brooklyn - might be the Annie Leobovits exhibit at the Brooklyn Musuem (now showing from October 20 until January 21, 2007). One of the news report claimed that they are staying in one of the hotels in Midtown Manhattan….
The Monday premiere of Angelina’s movie will definitely bring NY to a halt - it is going to be huge - in fact the buzz around here is that Angelina and Brad may walk in the red carpet together for the premiere (I really don’t know how true the story is). Although, all the media around the world are gathered here in NYC to witness the whole family having their first public holiday celebration….
I am proud to see Angelina and Brad’s fierce committment for each other and to their adorable children….

Heeee!!!! Loves it! LOL That should be a wildfire story in and of itself!! Thanks truth! :-)
Oh Angelah! I just watched your new video IT MIGHT BE U and I had tears in my eyes. The video was so beautiful but that song, although during my JS Prom in UP High was the version by Stephen Bishop was so memorable to me. It brought back memories of my youth and my first boyfriend. I like Kai’s version too, he’s my daughter’s favorite. Again, thank you for bringing back wonderful memories.
New York Fans, keep us posted.

OMG. The co-ed thing is getting LEGIT news coverage from her hometown newspaper (San Antonio Express) — wow….Maniston must be humiliated and mortified for REAL.

I don’t have a lick of sympathy for this moronic chick. She’s just another bimbo who willing shacked up with a man she thought was in a committed relationship with another woman. Any discomfort and misery she’s going through is self-inflicted. The dumb beeyotch. What did she think was going to happen when she sent that e-mail to 22 of her closest friends?!
While I can’t work up any sympathy for the this Lane twit, I see that once again not sh#t is sticking to VV. While everyone is pointing their finger at this Lane chick…nobody is talking about VV’s part in all of this. HE’S the one wh was supposedly seeing someone else…yet he’s picking up a kid young enough to be his daughter like the eternal frat boy he pretends to be. Sad, sad, sad. Poor old Vince. Can’t get a real woman, so he’s picking up chicks just out of their teens. Damn…and here I was thinking this loser couldn’t get any more pathetic.

Nice to hear that. I am sure expecting screaming from fans & curious people on the street. It happened here too when Brad attended the Toronto International Film Festival. Everywhere he went crowd is always there & going crazy. Fans are waiting at some hotels waiting for Brad. That was really something to behold! Wait until both walk the red carpet on the premiere in NYC then we can see & hear pandemonium.
^^^^That is so lovely! The crowd must have been loud. I mean it’s NY so it’s loud and crowded already lol.
I’m so jealous people who are going to the NY premiere. What if Brad and Angie DO show up together. Ahhhhhh!! I mean I don’t think they’d pose together but what if Brad shows up? Sweet lord that would be delicious.
Thank you Jared and Audrey for the new thread! Darn my internet had troubles today and now I get to see this! I won’t be able to sleep now because I will be dreaming of them. Thank you for all the links everyone! Have a good night and see you all tomorrow!
jpf me too! I have wonderful neighbors and all of them are old and retired. I look out for them as well. It’s 1:25 and I am delirious now because I haven’t slept-anyway you ladies are great! PT you need your own show!

Yes, and it seems Maddox and Zee are getting a bit more used to the crowds.. a little anyway. I love Zahara’s expressions :lol:
But it would not be good to take a baby out in that..
Funny.. I used to hear people say celebs could have it better in NY because there are so many famous people there, and there wouldnt be a lot of attention paid to them.
Well , that might be true for some, but not for Brad and
Angelina.
Brad gets Wright gift for birthday
Jolie takes Pitt, an architecture buff, to Fallingwater
Saturday, December 09, 2006
By Patricia Lowry, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
What’s the perfect birthday present for one of the world’s most famous couples? Why, a visit to one of the world’s most famous houses, of course. Thursday, Angelina Jolie treated Brad Pitt to an afternoon at Fallingwater.
“Brad said he had wanted to experience Fallingwater ever since he took an architectural history course in college,” said Cara Armstrong, Fallingwater’s curator of education. “He and I talked quite a bit about design and art. He was incredibly well-informed about architecture.”
Ms. Armstrong and Fallingwater’s events coordinator, Edna King, picked up Mr. Pitt and Ms. Jolie at the Latrobe Airport and spent an hour talking to them in the car before Ms. Armstrong led them on a two-hour private tour of the house. Ms. Armstrong described the couple as “very gracious and very engaged in the house. As we say in the Midwest, you could tell their mothers raised them right.”
Ms. Armstrong and Ms. King met the couple, who were traveling alone, on the airport tarmac at the request of Ms. Jolie’s assistant. They drove to Fallingwater in an SUV with tinted windows, with the celebrity couple in the back seat, Ms. King driving and Ms. Armstrong telling them about the house Frank Lloyd Wright designed in Mill Run.
“We thought they might not have enough time to hear about the house before the tour,” Ms. Armstrong said. They had arrived by private jet after bad weather canceled a helicopter ride. The couple said they had to be back in Brooklyn by early evening.
“Brad said he had a visual sense of Fallingwater but experiencing it in person, hearing the sound of the waterfall cascading under the house and smelling the wood from the fireplace, was better than anything he could have imagined,” Ms. Armstrong said.
“I knew he was an architecture geek kind of guy, and I knew he had tried coming a few years earlier, but I was shocked,” she said when she first learned they were coming. “At first we thought it was a joke.”
Mr. Pitt will be 43 on Dec. 18.
“I was just impressed by how interested in architecture he was,” said Ms. Armstrong. “He was talking about Frank Gehry and Jean Nouvel and Zaha Hadid and Greene and Greene. He was trying to explain the Golden Mean and proportion and flow of space to Jolie, and he was getting it right. It was fun to see somebody that interested in and excited about architecture and design.”
Ms. Jolie had arranged to have champagne and caviar sent in after the tour, and the couple shared that in a brief private birthday celebration in Fallingwater’s living room. Afterward, they invited the staff to join them.
Arrangements for the visit began about a week before Thanksgiving, when staff at Fallingwater received a call from Ms. Jolie’s personal assistant in Asia. The assistant was reluctant to provide the names of the couple but relented when Ms. King assured her she would be discreet.
During their visit, the couple commented on the beauty of the winter landscape of the Laurel Highlands.
“They didn’t behave like celebrities,” Ms. Armstrong said. “They were just people coming to see great architecture and wanting to know more about it.”
“He’s so hard to buy for,” Ms. Jolie told her.
Shortly after the story hit the Post-Gazette’s Web site yesterday — where it quickly zoomed to the top of the most e-mailed stories list — e-mails began pouring in from readers convinced the photograph of the pair standing in front of Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic house was a fake.
For the record, it isn’t.
“No way! I took that photo myself, and I am proud of it!” Ms. Armstrong said.
In the photograph but out of camera range, Ms. Jolie is wearing Ms. King’s shoes.
“We were going to [the] overlook to see that iconic view of Fallingwater, and she had the most elegant shoes on you could imagine,” Ms. King said. Realizing that wearing high heels on the rustic stone steps might not be the best idea, Ms. Jolie said she would wait in the car while Pitt went down for a look.
“I said, ‘What size shoes do you wear?’ and she said ‘9.’ I said I wear 9 and a half; you can wear mine.’ I thought that said a lot about her, that she would wear a stranger’s shoes. They were very humble and down to earth.”
Mr. Pitt’s latest movie, “Babel,” is now in theaters, and he’s recently been filming “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” in Louisiana.
Ms. Jolie, 31, has been filming “A Mighty Heart,” based on a memoir written by Mariane Pearl, the widow of slain journalist Daniel Pearl. She also appears in “The Good Shepherd,” due Dec. 22.
The couple have three children: Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2, and 7-month-old Shiloh.
After the tour, a chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce took the couple back to the Latrobe Airport.
Fallingwater, whose own fame was well-calculated by its owner and its architect in the late 1930s, has long been a celebrity magnet, most recently attracting actors Tom Hanks, Ron Howard, Dennis Miller and Randy and Dennis Quaid.
Oh, and aren’t the Golden Globes nominations coming out Dec 14?? Wow, next week is going to be truly amazing. Can you imagine? Here’s to Brad for best supporting actor!

Why not. They’d be a perfect match. He wants a rich wife. And X wants a man who’ll do anything to keep her name in the tabs. K-Fed was notorious for selling Brit’s secrets to the tabs, X may have hit the jackpot!
Oh I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall when Angie told Brad what his present was.
I am sure he was so excited and very very appreciative to his woman.
