This story comes on the heels of the non-story that the Jolie-Pitt children are being raised by an educating, bilingual nanny army. At the time, I thought ?meh? because we all know that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have nannies, and having high hiring standards just seems like a smart choice. Now InTouch Weekly is dialing up the Scandal-Meter by getting into specific (alleged) numbers for the cost of the Jolie-Pitts? childcare. InTouch (via The Mail) thinks that Angelina and Brad are paying about $1 million per child, per year. Let?s see the breakdown, shall we?
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie spend a staggering $10 million (6.1 million) on childcare for their brood, it was claimed today. 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 adopted Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, four, and biological 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.’

Let?s see? other costs: kids? clothing, per year is allegedly $100,000. $5 million spent on private jets in a year (why not?) and $600 a day on cars. Oh, and each kid gets a $7000 birthday party. And don?t forget the high cost of gerbil maintenance. That could easily run you a cool million per year, adjusting for the requisite gerbils-of-doom cost of living adjustment. The gerbils know too much. But it?s easier to pay them off and maintain them rather than kill them off.
And no one is discussing the cost of Zahara?s empress maintenance!

Adding yet another film to his impressive list of movies, Brad Pitt is set to star in the film version of ?World War Z.?
The movie is based on Max Brooks?s 2006 novel that details first-person accounts of a ?zombie war? that ravages the world.
Brad?s production company, Plan B, outbid Leonardo DiCaprio?s Appian Way company and landed the rights to ?World War Z? in 2007.
Mireille Enos from AMC?s ?The Killing? was most recently added to the cast and will play Pitt?s wife.

Treating themselves to an evening of culture, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were spotted at a performance of ?God of Carnage? last night (April 13).
The ?Fight Club? stud and the ?Changeling? chick posed for a picture backstage at Los Angeles? Ahmanson Theatre following the show.
Brad and Ang looked to have enjoyed the opening night production by the Center Theatre Group, who also did the show in New York City in 2009.
Meanwhile, Angelina has been busy with her new jewelry collection, appropriately called ?Style of Jolie.?

| | Brad Pitt took his 'polite, shy' kids to an Easter egg hunt for charity | | Added 14 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Yesterday, I read that Brad Pitt had taken the older kids to see that movie, Hop, where the Easter Bunny is pooping jelly beans. It sounded like a fun outing, especially for a dad (temporarily) on his own with the kids. But Brad the Dad gets even cooler than jelly-bean-poop movies! Brad the Dad took the kids to an Easter egg hunt too. And it was for charity! Apparently, the kids were all very well-behaved in public:
Easter came early for the Jolie-Pitts! Brad Pitt took Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, and Shiloh, 4, to a screening of Russell Brand’s new animated film Hop on Sunday. The family- minus Angelina Jolie and 2-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox- also indulged in some sugary treats and hunted for Easter eggs.
“The kids participated in the hunt and everyone looked like they were having a great time,” a fellow guest told the L.A. Times. “They stayed for pretty much the whole time.”
Another witness told E! Online that Shiloh et all walked away with “chocolate-covered pretzel rods, gummy butterflies, gummy cherries and jelly beans.”
“The kids were so cute, polite and shy,” another source told the website. “Brad had to help them do the ordering of what they wanted in their little goody bags. They also made sure to take home some candy sticks for their siblings who weren’t there.”
Pitt, 47, was overheard quipping, “We always need something in our family, especially sugar!”
The event raised funds for EBMRF, a skin disease affecting children, and hosts included Hop stars James Marsden and Kaley Cuoco. Pitt is on the honorary advisory board for the EBMRF medical research foundation.

For some reason, I don?t think Brad is one of those fathers who seems overwhelmed when Mom is away. He actually seems to enjoy his ?single dad? time with the kids, which is really sweet. Of course, he only took the four older kids - I would imagine even SuperDad would find six kids (including two toddlers) overwhelming.
Also: I wonder what treats Zahara got? Do you think she?s a Peeps kind of Empress?

Showing off that infamous smile, Brad Pitt was spotted heading out for a bite to eat in Los Angeles, CA on Monday (April 4).
The ?Fight Club? stud teased the paparazzi by playing a game of peek-a-boo before hopping into his swanky vehicle and zipping off to Akasha health food restaurant with a friend.
On Sunday, Pitt took Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh to a screening of the new animated flick ?Hop.?
Afterward, the kids were treated to an early Easter egg hunt in which they hunted for eggs and Easter candy and looked to be having the time of their lives.

On Sunday, I published the new photos we had of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and all six of their children. The brood was walking around New Orleans, and they ended up buying some treats at Verti Market. The photos were cute, and notable because there hasn?t been a six-kid-strong public outing in a while. Also notable: how big Vivienne and Knox (and Fax Cannes, for that matter) are getting, and how all of the biological children basically all look alike. Anyway, for some reason, this outing was important enough to make the cover of People Magazine this week. Weird, right?
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.”

Okay, this is actually starting to scare me a little, because I genuinely like/adore the Jolie-Pitts. What is up with them? Why the People Magazine cover reinforcing their solidarity? What are they trying to prove? It feels like there?s another shoe that?s about to drop. And I?ve said it before - I can handle whatever negative Jolie-Pitt story there is, because there are millions of negative stories and Angelina and Brad manage to keep on making it work. But I get suspicious and worried whenever their press gets too positive and ass-kissy. And this cover makes me suspicious.

Hard at work on his latest project, Brad Pitt hit the set of the crime thriller "Cogan's Trade" in New Orleans earlier today (March 21).
The 47-year-old actor and father of six was spotted wearing slicked-back hair, sunglasses, a black leather jacket and black trousers for the morning shoot.
Over the weekend (March 20), Brad took a little time out to join the rest of the Jolie-Pitt brood for a family outing at Louisiana's staple VertiMarte Deli, where the kids enjoyed a snack of juice and chips.
Angelina and the couple's six adorable little ones headed back to L.A last night (Marc 20), but Pitt will stay in New Orleans to film for the next couple of weeks,

I?m not even sure how to describe what?s happening in these photos. It looks like a photo shoot. A photo shoot with a really bad stylist, but a photo shoot nonetheless. I can?t even remember the last time I saw photos of Jolie-Pitt outing where ALL of the kids were present. Once again, I?m going to try to Guess the Biological Jolie-Pitt Child, but I?m pretty sure that Angelina is holding Viv in most of these photos, and Brad has Knox, and Shiloh is walking around. But really, who knows? At this point, Viv is a little Shiloh-doppelganger and Knox is pretty Shiloh-esque too, although? if you told me one of these kids was Fax Cannes, I would believe you.
Just a few things I wanted to point out:
*Knox/Mystery/Fax seems to be wearing Shiloh?s outgrown ?Montenegro Style? castoffs - little blazers and polo shirts, etc. Adorable.
*Empress Zahara is wearing skinny jeans and an oversized dress? Note that, stylists: dresses over jeans are BACK.
*In some of the photos, Empress Zahara seems to holding little Knox?s hand and mothering him a bit. Who knew? Empress Z will train Knox as her minion soon.
* I love how ?tough? both Pax and Maddox look. They?re like little gangsters. Like, the Asian kid version of West Side Story kind of gangsters.
*I have no idea what Brad is wearing. Why is he so covered up? Why does he have Beckham Hair?

Getting into character as he partook in an evening shoot, Brad Pitt was hard at work on the set of "Cogan's Trade" in New Orleans, Louisiana on Saturday night (March 12).
The 47-year-old actor attired himself in an all-black ensemble with slicked back hair as he puffed on a cigarette while churning out scenes for director Andrew Dominik.
In the upcoming thriller, Pitt plays the lead role of Jackie Cogan - who is "a professional enforcer who investigates a heist that went down during a mob-protected poker game."
"Cogan's Trade" is slated to be released next year with the cast also featuring Oscar nominee Javier Bardem and "The Sopranos" star James Gandolfini, as well as Casey Affleck and Mark Ruffalo.
