In the end, it was just too much color for her. Her system got overloaded by red-orange-coral sacky goodness and she ordered the gerbils to prepare a very special all-black ensemble for yet another outing, this one designed specifically to make us forget that she ever, EVER wore a color. So the gerbils arranged this outing - Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, exiting Ozzie Dots yesterday in LA. Apparently the store is some kind of party supply place, and they got what seems to be birthday party decorations. Probably for Shiloh?s fifth birthday, which is this Friday (tomorrow!)? For some reason, though, I doubt Shiloh wanted a birthday theme of anything you could find at a party supply store. She probably wanted a samurai theme and Angelina was like ?How about ponies? How about a horse theme, babe??
Also, notice that in every photo, Angelina isn?t putting that lollipop to her mouth. It?s a prop! I want to see her eat a lollipop. I suspect she doesn?t know how to. She?s probably just holding it for Brad. Oh, and she?s carrying a Louis Vuitton bag. Of course!
Meanwhile, Brad has been talking about the Missouri floods and all of the terrible tornados in the Midwest: ?I spent a lot of time in Joppa Joplin*, MO. My grandparents are from there and it is about 50 or 60 miles from where I grew up, so we?re looking into it now? My thoughts are certainly with (the victims) and of course a lot of them will be coming out in the next few days, they have a big mountain ahead of them. I wish them the best.?
*Note by Celebitchy: The quoted text on the source incorrectly names the city devastated by tornadoes as Joppa. Thanks to those of you who pointed out that it’s Joplin, MO.

After spending the previous night on the red carpet, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie paired up for a relaxing afternoon of shopping in Los Angeles, CA on Wednesday (May 25).
The lovely couple first headed to La Luz De Jesus Gallery before stopping at Ozzie Dots to check out some costumes - possibly in preparation for a costume party for Angelina's upcoming birthday on June 4th.
As for their night on the red carpet on Tuesday, Brangelina were busy premiering Brad's new movie "The Tree of Life" an Bing Theatre.
Talking with press during the screening, Pitt told Us Weekly of his abusive father character: "I certainly don't raise my kids the same way [as my character does]. I am painfully aware that my actions leave an indelible mark on them in these formidable years. So I make sure I don't bring my crap home. I want to keep it free."

Back in the States after promoting overseas at the Cannes Film Festival, Angelina Jolie was joined by Brad Pitt for the Los Angeles premiere of DreamWorks Animation's "Kung Fu Panda 2" on Sunday (May 22).
With fellow stars Jack Black and Lucy Liu also on-hand, the castmates took to the Grauman's Chinese Theatre venue as they ready for their family film's May 26th release.
Recently talking about the Jennifer Yuh directed movie with the Sun-Times, Jolie brought up how she - as an adoptive parent - can relate to the storyline mulling over the adoption of the popular Po character.
Angelina told, ?I wondered if my children would ask questions. In our home, adoption and birth home are everyday words. Now those are words that Po is using in their favorite movie, and I think it?s just lovely.?
The mother of six added, ?We have conversations about how families come together all the time. My kids have been there to pick up a brother or sister from the orphanage. The word orphanage is not a bad word in our house. They?re good words.?

Brad Pitt is still talking! To promote Tree of Life, he gave an interview to the Associated Press, and he talks about family and junk. There?s no talk of Jesus in this piece, sorry! But he does talk about The Other Jesus, Angelina, and whether or not they?ll work together again, etc. I don?t really know what to say because I think Brad sounds nice here and I don?t find his comments controversial in the least, but I thought that about his religion quotes too, so what do I know?
When it comes to family, bigger is better for Brad Pitt. Now 47, the actor didn’t have any kids several years ago; now he has six (three adopted, three biological) with love Angelina Jolie.
“I know it seems extreme from the outside, but I’ve always kind of operated this way,” Pitt told the Associated Press in an interview at the Cannes Film Festival, where he’s promoting his film Tree of Life. “When I know, I know, and why mess around?”
Although Pitt himself didn’t have a particularly large family growing up, he was inspired by a close pal. “I had a friend who had a big family when I was a kid,” he explained. “I just loved the chaos around the breakfast table and the fighting and the ribbing, and the mom making pancakes for everyone or the dad making pancakes,” added the father to Maddox, 8, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 4, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 2.
“I just decided then if I was ever going to do it — this left some indelible mark on me — if I was ever going to do it, that’s the way I was going to do it.”
Indeed, Pitt added that “breakfast is my specialty” in the household, and loves inspiring his own “chaos around the breakfast table.”
As he’s said in previous interviews, fatherhood has changed the way he selects his film roles.
“I think my focus before was more irreverence, by nature,” the Oscar nominee noted. “I’m a dad now. It’s more important to me that if I’m going to do the film, there’s something I can bring to it, it’s not generic. And most of all, I’m painfully aware that my kids are going to see these when they’re older, and I want them to understand something about their dad, and I want them to be proud of their dad.”
What about a future collaboration with love Jolie, 35, whom he famously met on the set of the 2005 flick Mr. and Mrs. Smith (while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston).
“We’re not ones to repeat ourselves, but we’d like to, because right now, we’re hopscotching with films so one can be with the kids and one’s free to work,” Pitt explained of reteaming with Jolie. “And why aren’t we doing them together? Why aren’t we doing everything together?”

I?m going to say something that will make people yell at me, but I don?t care: I think Brad has become a better actor in the years he?s spent with Angelina, and I think that in the same time frame, he?s made more interesting career choices than in the rest of his career. I do think Brad?s career priorities changed, as did his place in the industry, when he and Angelina got together and when he became a father. He?s got money now, he?s got stature, and he doesn?t sign on to a movie unless he likes the script or the director, and even then he wields quite a lot of power. My point? I think I?m saying that Brad is still going to be very relevant in Hollywood for many years to come. I could even see him winning an Oscar at some point. Shocking, I know.
And yeah, in those dumb glasses, he?s totally trying to look like Jack Nicholson.

Here’s Brad Pitt at Cannes over the weekend channeling Colin Farrell channeling Sonny Crockett from Miami Vice. Brad was there promoting the hotly anticipated Terrence Malick film Tree of Life which debuted to mixed reviews. Though if you listened to the audience, you’d think it sucks. That’s because a few people in the crowd viciously booed at the end of the screening.
?The booing at the end of today?s Tree of Life screening was an ugly, animalistic thing that may explain why Malick doesn?t do press,? added IndieWire?s Eric Kohn (via EW).
Why can’t people leave the theater mumbling something about “waste of time” and pee on the toilet seats in protest like a normal passive aggressive audience. Sheesh.

He?s one of the biggest names in the movie industry, and earlier today (May 16) Brad Pitt was joined by partner Angelina Jolie as he premiered his new film ?Tree of Life? in Cannes, France.
Splitting time between his lovely lady and co-stars Sean Penn and Jessica Chastain, the ?Ocean?s Eleven? hunk looked Suave as he arrived at the Palais des Festivals as part of the 64th Cannes International Film Festival schedule.
During his interview at the photo call earlier in the day, Brad told press he hopes to impress his kids with his body of work.
"I think of everything I do now that my kids are going to see when they grow up and how are they going to feel. But they know me as a dad and I hope they'll just think of me as a pretty damn good actor."

The director of Brad Pitt’s new movie The Tree of Life didn’t even show to the film’s premiere in Cannes today, so it’s no surprise to hear that it was booed like The Situation at a Donald Trump roast. The Daily Mail says:
Brad Pitt’s art house movie The Tree of Life was greeted to a harsh chorus of boos, hisses and reluctant applause when it was unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival.
The picture’s director Terrence Malick didn’t even bother to turn up at the press conference following a screening that started at 8:30 a.m.
I’d wager that Malick’s not showing had less to do with the quality of the film and more to do with the fact that Brad Pitt was dressed like the Good Humor Man’s retarded pimp cousin. Sex industry ice cream men are naturally repellant to the art-house industry. Everybody knows that.

These are some new photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie out to dinner in Cannes last night. Brad seems to be wearing a charcoal-colored suit, white shirt and no tie, with his hair slicked back into some kind of fancy mullet (praise it). Angelina seems to be wearing a fitted white v-neck dress that I would like to see more of - it looks flattering, and very much UNLIKE the sack dresses she prefers for the red carpet. I could be wrong, but I thought I also spied a classic Louis Vuitton monogram purse in her hand too. Angelina was recently shooting the LV ads with Annie Leibovitz in Cambodia, and I can?t wait for those to come out.
Later today is the big evening red carpet for Tree of Life, Brad?s film with Terrence Malick. Brad and Angelina are both expected for the red carpet, and I?ll have the pics from the Tree of Life photo call up in just a moment (just Brad, no Angie). First, I wanted to talk about the news that came out yesterday - Angelina?s Bosnian love story movie has found a distrubuter, got a release date, and most importantly, Angelina finally gave it a title. She?s calling it? In the Land of Blood and Honey. Meh.
FilmDistrict has been tapped to release Angelina Jolie?s feature directorial debut In the Land of Blood and Honey, which is now slated to open Dec. 23 in the U.S.
The pact was announced Sunday in Cannes by Graham King and his producing partner Tim Headington, together with Peter Schlessel, CEO of FilmDistrict, the new production and distribution company that GK Films launched last year.
GK Films also produced the film, which Jolie wrote as well as directed.
Land is set against the backdrop of the Bonsian Civil War in the 1990s, and Jolie said, ?The film is specific to the Bosnian War, but it?s also universal. I wanted to tell a story of how human relationships and behavior are deeply affected by living inside a war.?
It stars Zana Marjanovic (Snow), Goran Kostic and Rade Serbedzija (In the Rain). Jolie worked with a completely local cast, filming the project in both Serbo-Croation, the language spoken at the time of the war, and English. FilmDistrict will be releasing the English-language version.
?The former Yugoslavia has a rich history of dramatic arts. The cast was extraordinary. I was privileged and honored to work with them and I am very excited for everyone to see their immense talent,? Jolie added.
The project reteams Jolie with King, who produced last year?s thriller The Tourist, in which she starred with Johnny Depp.
?Working with Angelina on this film and story has been a great collaboration and I am extremely proud of this film,? said King. ?The filmmaking is impeccable, and signals the arrival of a visceral and compelling storyteller.?
GK Films has several other titles that will also be released stateside in the fall: The Rum Diary, starring Depp, will be released by FilmDistrict on Oct. 28, and Martin Scorsese?s foray into 3D, Hugo Cabret, will be distributed by Paramount on Nov. 23.
Jolie, who has been in Cannes this week to promote DreamWorks Animation?s Kung Fu Panda 2, in which she voices the character of the Tigress, directed the 2007 documentary A Place in Time before making her current move into helming a narrative feature.
UPDATED: FilmDistrict sets Dec. 23 release date for “In the Land of Blood and Honey.”

We talked a little bit about this film on Friday, and I came clean about my qualms regarding how bad I think this film was going to be. Some super-cool Brangeloonies then QUESTIONED MY LOYALTY to the Brangelina Brand, and even doubted my membership to the club. Look? I love some Angelina. But the skinny bitch doesn?t walk on water, and I honestly think the film is probably going to suck. It truly doesn?t sound good. That being said, I will defend her right to make any movie she wants, and I will defend her because I think her heart was in the right place. I don?t think In the Land of Blood and Honey is going to be offensive, not do I think it?s some sort of terrible story about a rape victim falling in love with her rapist. I just think it?s probably going to be a boring, somewhat preachy movie, and the worst thing I?ve heard about it thus far is that Angelina shot the entire thing in English and Bosnian (Serbo-Croatian) because she didn?t know which she wanted. Seriously, that does not bode well. She should have figured that out before she even began filming.

Here are some photos from the Tree of Life photo call in Cannes, just hours ago, as promised. Brad did the photo call with his costar and on-screen wife, Jessica Chastain, who is currently one of the It Girls being cast in EVERYTHING. She?s 30 years old, but she seems older to me. And I dislike this shade of red on a girl with that shade of red hair. As for Brad? he took note of Jon Hamm?s all-white ensemble and raised the Hamm Dong one salt-and-pepper mullet. Brad?s Cannes ensembles are always? well, they?re always interesting. There was that one year he did a photo call in a Tom Ford ascot. That was memorable. Brad loves his fashion, and I suspect he?s a clotheshorse. So why this baggy suit and mullet? It makes him look like a low-level mob enforcer on holiday.
As for the critical response to Brad?s latest offering (which he filmed in 2008, and director Terrence Malick fiddled with for THREE YEARS), Tree of Life seems to have drawn mixed reactions. There are multiple reports of booing during one screening, although Entertainment Weekly makes it sound like it was just a couple of people:
It can be daunting to describe Terrence Malick?s The Tree of Life, but scattered audience members at its first screening in Cannes needed only one syllable: boo. The many supporters of the movie pushed back with counter-applause, but it was a shocking way for the movie to debut.
The Tree of Life is an elegiac litany of images and memory-like scenes more than a traditional narrative,. In brief, it?s the origin of time and infinity through the lens of one troubled, 1950s-era Texas family. It stars Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain, though they share copious screen time with evolving galaxies, nebulae, and surreal, symbolic representations of the world beyond. Call it a coming of age story about the universe.
Here?s how the chaos ? on-screen and off ? unfolded today ?
The scene outside the 8:30 a.m. screening at the festival?s Grand Theatre Lumiere was a mosh pit of fearsome determination. Malick is somewhat the J.D. Salinger of filmmakers, rarely photographed, and never submitting to interviews. Though he is hardly prolific, his handful of films have been striking for their visual splendor and meditative tones: Badlands, Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line, The New World ?
Though the movie opens for everyone May 27, audience members crushed at the entrance Monday morning, shoving and hollering to gain entrance to a film that has been eagerly anticipated at Cannes for two years. With passions so high to see it, the movie?s debut mirrored the film?s central conflict: a boy trying to live up to the high standards of his harsh father. Only in this case it was Cannes notoriously harsh community of critics and journalists.
As long-form reviews were being written there was push-back against the booing on Twitter. ?Yes, some booed at Tree of Life?s end, but a) far more clapped, b) wouldn?t a monobloc of opinion be dull? And, of course, c) jerks abound,? wrote MSN Movies? James Rocchi.
?The booing at the end of today?s Tree of Life screening was an ugly, animalistic thing that may explain why Malick doesn?t do press,? added IndieWire?s Eric Kohn.
And yes, the notoriously elusive Malick continued his long tradition of not speaking on behalf of his movies, and did not attend the press conference after the screening. His producer, Sarah Green, said he prefers to stay out of the spotlight because, ?Mr. Malick is very shy and I would say I believe his work speaks for him.?
Pitt had no problem speaking instead. ?He tells this micro story of this family in a small town in Texas and juxtaposes it with the macro of the birth of the cosmos and cells splitting,? he said. ?I find that so extraordinary. There are parallel truths in that.?
Pitt said repeatedly he could go on at length about the process Malick employed to make such an unusual film. There are few dialogue-driven scenes, and the child actors at the center of the tale were not permitted to see the script, Pitt said, instead being told roughly what to do or say. Pitt said Malick wanted everyone to follow their instincts.
?He?s like a guy with a butterfly net waiting for the truth to go by,? Pitt said.
?It was all about capturing the accident,? Chastain added, citing a for-instance: ?There?s a section where a butterfly lands on my hand. It?s not in the script, and we didn?t put anything on my hand to make it land there.?
?It?s a leap of faith, but that?s the point,? Pitt said.
Malick rented the entire neighborhood where they shot, dressed it to resemble the 1950s period, and would have the family linger together on the street, playing on swings, or working in the yard, while the capture awaited special moments.
?Then he does what he calls torpedoing a scene,? Pitt said. ?The youngest child he called The Torpedo. On the first day, [Chastain and I] were having an argument, raising our voices, and we shot that take. Then suddenly he would send in Ty, as the Torpedo, and it changed the whole dynamic of the scene.?
There was some joking about the absent director, whom Chastain said tended to steer the camera toward nearby woodpecker or something else in nature if it interrupted the scene. Instead of ruining the take, that tended to be the thing Malick would rather use.
Pitt said he had no problem with the director choosing not to speak about the movie publicly. ?You know how you have a favorite song and then you hear the band describing your favorite lyrics, and then you?re disappointed?? he asked the room of journalists, who responded with silence.
?No?? he said.
[From Entertainment Weekly]
Well, it sounds like some people really liked it and a few didn?t. Meh. I have to admit something - I know all of the film snobs are like ?Malick is a genius, he?s misunderstood, YOU JUST DON?T GET HIM? but the description of the production sounds so? weak. Self-indulgent on the director?s part. Masturbatory. You know what I appreciate? A well-written script. A director with the balls to make judgment calls in the heat of production. Someone who isn?t so precious and self-indulgent that they can edit their film in less than a year.
