Out for a morning cruise, Brad Pitt was spotted taking his newest custom chopper for its first spin around Beverly Hills on Saturday (October 24).
The “Fight Club” stud sported a stylish gold helmet as he rode around town, stopping to chat with a few passerbys during the course of his travels.
With the new motorcycle being delivered just a few days back, Pitt has longtime said that he uses the bikes to help elude persistent paparazzi followers.
He told W magazine: “This is my anonymity. With it, I’m just another a***hole on the streets.”

Still sporting his scruffy look, Brad Pitt was spotted out grabbing a bite to eat for lunch at the Madeo restaurant in West Hollywood on Monday (October 19).
Upon finishing off his midday meal, the “Fight Club” stud hopped into his car and headed off to his office to tend to work duties.
The sighting comes just after the release of a Star magazine report, claiming that Brad and Angelina Jolie’s six children have taken over the household.
“They have dinner around 11 p.m. And it’s a real smorgasbord of snacks — cheese and crackers, chips, grapes and chocolate,” Star’s source said. “They all sleep in Brad and Angie’s bed. And the kids wear whatever they want. Sometimes Zahara falls asleep in her Sleeping Beauty dress, which has permanent chocolate milk stains on it.”
The insider continues, “Maddox and Pax are double trouble. They have every sort of toy known to man, including paint guns, which they splatter all over the walls of the house. Maddox tends to get special treatment. It was his idea to pierce Vivienne’s ears. After he said he wanted to do it himself with a pin, Angie decided to have it done professionally. Brad is starting to get tougher… he does tell them ‘no’ and holds them accountable for their actions. The trouble is they just run to Mom, and she caves. She doesn’t want her kids to have that kind of life… she gives them their freedom because she wants their ‘souls to evolve.’”

Earlier today, Angelina Jolie was spotted looking very professional in Los Angeles, heading into Sony Studios (photos here). She totally flew in under the radar, per usual, because pretty much everyone thought she and the whole family were still in France. It?s thought that she was attending a meeting about signing on for the lead role in The Tourist, the gun-toting, ass-kicking suspense/action film she’s been considering for about a week. Looks like Brad?s film Moneyball is probably never going to get made, The Tourist will probably begin filming in a few months, and it will likely be a location shoot in Europe. Perhaps a European Christmas for the Jolie-Pitt clan?
Beyond that, Brangelina?s tabloid drama has taken a backseat to Gosselin, Lohan and TomKat drama this week. There are only a couple of Brangelina stories in this week?s magazine, and both of them feel like stale leftovers. Star?s story is all about how the Jolie-Pitt kids are running amok because Brad and Angelina ?don?t feel like spending time yelling at them?. My guess? The Jolie-Pitt kids are little hellions with strong personalities, but I?d bet they?re basically good kids. Empress Zahara runs a tight ship, after all:
The kids do as they please, according to sources. ?They have dinner around 11 p.m. And it?s a real smorgasbord of snacks - cheese and crackers, chips, grapes and chocolate.?
Not only is there no set bedtime, but there is no rule on what to wear to sleep - or even where they lay their heads.
?They all sleep in Brad and Angie?s bed. And the kids wear whatever they want. Sometimes Zahara falls asleep in her Sleeping Beauty dress, which has permanent chocolate milk stains on it.?
The wildest of the clan are Maddox and Pax. ?The two of them are double trouble. They have every sort of toy known to man, including paint guns, which they splatter all over the walls of the house.?
Maddox tends to get special treatment. In fact, it was his idea to pierce baby sister?s Vivienne?s ears. After he said he wanted to do it himself with a pin, an insider says Angie decided to have it done professionally.
?Brad is starting to get tougher? he does tell them ?no? and holds them accountable for their actions. The trouble is they just run to Mom, and she caves.
Growing up, Angie often worked to help support her single mother and, ?She doesn?t want her kids to have that kind of life? she gives them their freedom because she wants their ?souls to evolve.??
[From Star Magazine, print edition, October 26 2009]
My experience with kids is very limited, granted, but some of this stuff sounds like normal ?kids need structure? stuff. Don?t ask me, though. I?m the OCD structure queen, and when I was a babysitter, the kids were always good for me. Because I set the rules, damn it. Although I did used to babysit for a kid with night terrors who used wake up screaming thirty minutes after I put him to bed. I never really considered him a bad kid, just a kid with issues.
In addition to those stories, Star also reports that the kids gang up to terrorize their nanny, using methods that I swear came from The Sound of Music. “Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens/Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens/Brown paper packages tied up with strings/ These are a few of my favorite things!” Hmm? I need to see that movie again. Other than that, I only liked the part about Empress Z falling asleep in her Sleeping Beauty dress. How cute is that?
Meanwhile, the other Brangelina story comes from the National Enquirer, and it involves the Bermuda Triangle, white wine and a phone. Only this time, Jennifer Aniston was the one doing the alleged drunk dialing. Their source claims that Jennifer ?was hoping for an intimate chat with Brad, and ended up tangling with Hurricane Angelina! When Jen heard Angie’s voice, she freaked out.? Oh, yes. But the source also knows what the two women said to each other: “Jen basically told Angie that she hated her, but Angelina fired back and warned Jen to stop calling Brad and harassing her. Angie screamed, ?Leave my family alone!? and ended the call.? After the call, Angelina allegedly read Brad the riot act, and demanded that he cut off contact with Jennifer for good. The Enquirer leaves us with this note: ?It remains to be seen if Jen will let go of him or continue to give chase.? Ugh. Seriously? That?s all I?ve got. Just a big, fat ?Seriously?!??

In Touch has a funny story to go along with the new fan pictures of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt?s 14-month-old twins, Knox and Vivienne. The fan pics came from an ice cream parlor outing in Jordan, and pretty much every magazine and gossip site has jacked those pictures over and over. I was thinking about that the other day - considering these are the first images of the twins we?ve seen in months, the guy who took the photos should have held on to the pictures and sold them to the highest bidder - he could be a millionaire by now. Poor guy.
Anyway, In Touch Weekly put up a surprisingly nice little story about the twins and what their lives are like. I guess the In Touch editor got tired of running ?the last straw? breakup stories and decided to make up some stuff about the kids. According to IT, after Brad and Angelina’s UNHCR trip to Syria, they made the stop in Jordan at the request of Angelina?s friend Queen Noor, the former queen of Jordan. Queen Noor ?wanted to meet the twins.? Interesting. Angelina and Queen Noor are friendly - according to reports, Angelina stayed in Noor?s palace when she traveled to Jordan in July with Maddox. Here?s more:
Although their parents fight, the twins are certainly living a charmed life.
?Knox is mellow and loves to listen to music,? a family friend says. ?Viv has Angie?s firecracker personality, but is so feminine.?
The twins are different but undeniably close. ?They always hug and sleep together in a custom-built crib,? says the friend.
They have two nannies watching their every move, who keep them on a strict schedule. ?They go to bed by 6 p.m. and are up at 6 a.m.,? and in their nursery, there?s a place to heat their bottles. Their siblings love being with them too.
?Z?s motherly, while Shi tells stories. Maddox draws pictures for them and Pax loves to make them painted macaroni necklaces.?
?Despite Brad and Angelina?s issues, they?re very devoted to their kids.?
[From In Touch Weekly, print edition, October 18 2009]
In addition to these pleasant fictions (?They always hug?? Even a Brangaloonie like me is gagging a little), In Touch has some little photo pull-outs with some added commentary that?s pretty awesome. Considering the twins reportedly sampled their parents? ice cream during the Jordan outing, the tabloids can no longer make up stories about how the twins are sickly, fussy eaters. IT?s source confirms: ?They?re very happy, healthy kids.? Also, they?re saying that ?Angie always says that Knox is a mini-Brad? and that Vivienne has ?the same features? as Angelina. Also, Viv is talking. Their source says: ?If she wants to be picked up, she says ?up-py.?? Too cute, right? Empress Zahara will teach her new words, don?t worry.

Brad Pitt reportedly arranged a clandestine meeting with ex-wife Jennifer Aniston during his trip to New York late last month. I smell a pity-fuck! The Daily Mail says
The pair, who ended their five-year marriage in 2005, met up at a hotel in the city for an hour where Brad told Aniston about his relationship problems with Angelina Jolie.
It comes amid reports that Brad and Jennifer are in regular phone contact and - if true - their latest encounter marks their second private meeting together in the Big Apple this year.
A source [said] that Jennifer agreed to visit Brad in his suite at the Essex House hotel the day after he attended a political conference with former U.S. president Bill Clinton in New York.
Asking Jennifer Aniston for relationship advice is like asking a fat person for diet tips or a Trekkie for a condom. I would just assume you were making fun of me and run away crying.

The rarely-seen Jolie-Pitt twins Knox and Vivienne were photographed with parents Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt as they stopped for ice cream during a visit to Amman, Jordan. The Daily Mail says
The couple made a surprise visit to the Licky Licious gelato store where the owner Ihab Fakhouri snapped a picture of the family that was later posted on Twitter.
It was a very rare public outing for the 14-month-old twins who, unlike their high-profile siblings, have only been seen a handful of times since their birth.
It has led to speculation about their health, with some US publications claiming they suffered allergies and were kept hidden away for safety reasons.
But the pair looked like ‘really happy kids’ according to Fakhouri, who gave them pecan, caramel, vanilla and mango ice cream to try.
They make for a lovely family, don’t they? Well, the twins and Angelina, I mean. Brad looks like he should be trip-trapping over a bridge to confront the hungry troll who passed over his two brothers.

After spending Thursday at the Clinton Global Initiative panel discussion on environmentalism and architecture, Brad Pitt spent Friday with Maddox in New York. The two went to the Dave and Buster?s in Times Square, where they played games and probably ate a ton of junk food. For those of you unfamiliar with Dave and Buster?s, it?s an American chain restaurant/fun-house popular with teenagers and people who want to feel like kids. It?s got tons of games, like a really family-friendly version of Las Vegas, without the high financial stakes. Lots of bright lights, lots of noise. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. Anyway, Brad and Maddox spent several hours there, and then went to JFK where they caught a flight back to France.
Brad Pitt and his 8-year-old son Maddox were spotted making their way to Dave & Busters in Times Square on Friday evening (September 25). Maddox held a box of take-out food as his proud papa led him toward the restaurant for an evening of fun and games. A couple of hours later, the father-son duo were seen departing NYC from the JFK airport.
The 45-year-old hunky actor was in the Big Apple to attend the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting, where he was presented with an award recognizing the green credentials of his housing project in New Orleans. Pitt’s Make It Right organization built 13 homes in an area of New Orleans destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

I?m sure somebody?s got something to say about the ?Miami retirement community? outfit Brad has on. I have no explanation for it. It?s like he should have looked in the mirror before he left the hotel and taken off two articles of clothing. It?s beige overkill with the vest (or cardigan, whatever), pants, jacket and beige trim on his hat. Without the hat and the vest/cardigan, it could have been fine. Meanwhile, Maddox is wearing an expression in most of these pictures like ?I can?t wait to get back to mom, where everything?s all black?.

Drawing an end to their trip to the Big Apple, Brad Pitt and Maddox were spotted making their way out of New York City on Friday night (September 25).
The “Fight Club” stud first took his growing son to play at Dave & Busters in Times Square, with Maddox toting a take-out box as the pair then headed of to JFK Airport to catch an outbound flight.
As previously reported by Gossip Center, Brad was in town to participate in the Clinton Global Initiative proceedings being held over the past few days.
Just last night, Pitt took the stage to give an update on his Make It Right foundation’s post-Hurricane Katrina rebuilding effort - saying that the cost of building the homes is dropping, and “by the time all 150 promised homes are completed, the cost will be comparable to standard buildings.”
“I don’t know how we build any other way anywhere else,” the 45-year-old said. “We can no longer tell ourselves that implementing this technology is too complex a problem because it’s just been proven on this little spot on the map.”

Brad Pitt showed up at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) in New York early Thursday evening. Before he came out on stage for the panel discussion, they showed a really great short documentary with Brad, and interviews with people from New Orleans. It was a lovely profile of Make It Right and the devastation and regeneration of the Lower Ninth Ward. Brad and the interviewees, all NOLA residents, talked about the improvements being made in the past four years since Katrina. Then President Clinton came on to introduce the Make It Right panel. Clinton was at his wonkish best, reinforcing the theme that good environmentally-friendly projects are good for the economy. He talked a lot about all of the jobs being created in New Orleans because of the all of the projects CGI had helped finance and shepherd through.
When the panel finally came out, Brad ended up sitting next to Bubba. Brad didn?t shave, but he did look like he showered, so that?s a blessing. After Bubba?s introductory speech, Brad was given the floor (sort of, they were all seated). Brad started out by thanking Bubba for creating ?a forum where we can share our ideas? since the creation of CGI, $46 billion has been committed? to projects around the world. Brad asks for a round of applause for Bubba.
After the presidential ass-kissing, Brad describes his process in starting Make It Right, saying he got ?no love? when first fundraising in 2005, and how he came to Bubba for advice. Brad says that Bubba basically told him ?calm down, it?s a good idea, just stick with it.? Brad singles out Bill and Melinda Gates, and Steve Bing as big donors. Brad?s voice sounds shaky, nervous and emotional. He says Make It Right has exceeded his expectations. His goals for the homes were about affordability, aesthetics, sustainability, and resiliency. ?We can no longer tell ourselves that this technology cannot be implemented in a larger way.? Brad also makes a plea for funding to take the Make It Right model and expanding it globally - ?we want to take this out to a wider area? we are just scratching the surface.?
The next panelist was a woman who actually lives in one of the Make It Right NOLA homes - she actually lives in one of the first home, a ?prototype? home. She was funny as she talked about skipping to the computer to pay her $50 electricity bill. She kept saying, ?this is real, I?m not an actor? which made Bubba and Brad crack up, and Bubba actually touched Brad affectionately. Christ, Bubba probably tried to get Brad to go out with him to a strip club. This woman is so sweet as she talks about her ?beautiful home? with all of these gadgets.? She described the ?awesome? lighting system, the stove and the dual-mode toilet.
After that, Brad and his partners received a pretty award made of glass. It looked totally heavy. I had to look it up to see exactly what kind of award it was - Make It Right received a US Green Building Council award, the LEED plaque for the ?biggest green neighborhood in the world.? Make It Right has built 13 LEED Platinum certified, storm-resistant homes and are planning another 150 more in the Lower 9th Ward.
This was a really great appearance by Brad, and he managed to both have star power amongst the wonks, while still giving due credit to all of his partners and all of the groups Make It Right NOLA works with. This was actually the most intelligent, passionate and interesting speech and interview I?ve ever heard from Brad - so what does that mean? Has he just been playing dumb all along? Or does he only shine when he gets to talk about environmental architecture?

Taking advantage of his time in the Big Apple, Brad Pitt was spotted out to dinner with some friends in New York City last night (September 24).
The “Fight Club” stud looked cool and casual in a grey button-up top with matching trousers as he gave a quick smile to the paparazzi before heading out.
Earlier in the day, Brad gave a speech at the Fifth Annual Meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative at the Sheraton Hotel, updating everyone on the Make It Right Foundation’s rebuilding progress in New Orleans.
Pitt said, “I don’t know how we build any other way anywhere else. We can no longer tell ourselves that implementing this technology is too complex a problem because it’s just been proven on this little spot on the map.”
