Brad Pitt Gets Very Venice

They are there for the premiere of Burn After Reading.

Lainey is an Ass! She makes stupid scenarios in her head and then uses whatever Brad and Angie do to say every move is a conspiracy. She started the BS about Jen and Brad meeting in Venice, now Brad shows up with his sons, she says it is calculated. Same thing with the Oscar party and US weekly ran with Jen was stood up headline.

Nobody does it better…

Brad Pitt arrived in Venice today – Burn After Reading is opening the festival tomorrow and Brad and George will also be attending a Darfur fundraiser tonight.

As you can see, Brad brought his first 2 boys Maddox and Pax along for the trip, perhaps to lessen the load on mommy Angelina. That’s the practical, personal rationale for having his sons with him. But where the Pitts are concerned, there’s also always strategy.

We were discussing this today during TIFF preparation – you’ve heard about a potential showdown between Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston next week in Toronto, haven’t you?

While Brad and George Clooney are confirmed for Burn, many are speculating that Angie will stay back. The breastfeeding, the travel, the fact that their entourage is so huge – logistically it’s pretty daunting.

Problem though is that if Brad goes solo, In Touch and Life & Style will already have their fabrications ready about Jen’s weasling her way back into his life.

Having a couple of his kids with him could offset those insinuations – a doting dad has no time to pity his pathetic ex wife, right? And the MiniVan loves a doting dad.

Those boys look happy and adorable. LOVE Madd’s new blue hue. LOVE. Also love that they’re each carrying their own little packs filled with their own belongings. It’s impossibly cute, non?

In other Brange news, Fashion Weekly Daily reported yesterday that the November issue of W Magazine will feature cover shots of The Family Pitt taken by Brad himself in advance of the release of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, already receiving some Oscar buzz.

But if he’s taking the picture, will he be in the picture?

Have to wait 6 weeks to find out. Too long!

#20: AG, ROTFLMAO! brings me back to our fanfic convo days!

Isn’t this the place where the chin look-alike grabbed Brad’s neck to make like a lympet?

Hi Bailey-

Day in and day out, every new thread, we have these so called “tired of them” posters parked their azzes on every thread, nattering “I am tired of them.” LOL!

Aeon-

What do You mean ART is SUBJECTIVE? Not according to haters! :roll:

Nice pictures of Brad and sons. I love the way he moves, which comes across even in photos. Nice, broad shoulders, very masculine. And throw in the nurturing father element - wooo! Sexy!

Hi to all the Jolie Pitt fans. neleh, hope you’re feeling better, neer, you’re a romantic like me and this love story just keeps getting better.

Brad and the kids look great.. Maddox was rocking the blue Mohawk in the People Mag pictures as well..

Does anyone have the pic taken during Angelina’s Vogue photoshoot where he is playing some games on his laptop… Precious!

For those inquiring about nanny.. I believe thats the ladies in pic 29 are them..

african girl - your conversation btw Maddox and Pax was v. funny.

piper, with a low - I’m under the dryer in the hairdresser. When I saw your comment about “MayerAde” in the last thread people were looking at me giggling like a crazy person.

#25: Awwww, that article made me want to cry (happy tears though). Thanks for the info, AG. However much I think that Georgie boy is a self-serving cad of a man, it’s still great to hear that 3000 people in Darfur got some help. Daddy Braddy is already a given. We already knew he had a good heart and will do as much as he can.

Hope they get a lot of contributions tonight from some well-heeled pockets who are attending. They’ll probably say some good things about Don Cheadle and the rest of the O13 guys. Maybe remember Bernie Mac sadly now that he’s gone.

#41: Folks, this Elena is not our Elena so don’t be surprised at the kind of posts she submits. The bodysnatcher strikes again (frowning and wagging a finger at ritzy)….taking the body of a regular fan who’s not been here in a while.

Hello, TLOL and vicki!!! (Waving back and forth…grinning real wide.)
Nice to see you guys…good morning!

#56: hello, Neleh! Another day in JP land. Let’s just enjoy the boys’ time out and hope Angie shows up even for a little bit tomorrow for the RC.

However, if she really can’t make it….I will feel sad but still wish her well. It’s not easy having a busy bar (now that Brad is in Venice, it won’t be so crowded! wink, wink).

*******Waving to guli…also to anoble, felinelilly, briseis (if you guys are here!)

# 24 stefanie @ 08/26/2008 at 12:33 pm I’m going to get flamed for this, but Pax doesn’t look “comfortable”. He always seemed like an “outsider” to me. It’s not his fault, it just seems like he wants to be somewhere else, perhaps back home.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

In my opinion, Pax looks mighty comfortable. Pax and Brad are always shown in a very loving relationship. The “Hello” Baby pix show Pax and Brad smiling lovingly into each other’s eyes over the heads of the babies while Zee plays with Mom’s hair.

In today’s pix, Pax is the one sitting outside the cabin having a view of the city and the canals with Dad while Madd is nowhere to be seen. Walking along, Pax is holding Dad’s hand and talking behind his back to Madd on the other side of Dad. Pax always looks curious and alert and is always interested in his surroundings. That may be misconstrued by someone as being apart.

Here, Pax is waving to the Paps, smiling, and inside the cabin he pulls the curtains apart to see the river and the city. He is very comfortable in his own skin and it’s easy to see that the Pitts allow the kids to be individuals.
