According to US Weekly, grandpa and grandma stayed at the $6.8 million Jolie-Pitt palazzo in Italy while Angelina Jolie is still busy filming her movie, The Tourist.

Last weekend, the papz snapped grandpa William cuddling baby Knox from the balcony overlooking Venice’s Grand Canal. Knox is so cute with that baby blanket in tow!

Grandma Jane, in the meantime, didn’t want to be seen by the pesky photographers, so she just peeked through the window.

Brad’s folks obviously don’t mind doing babysitting duties. With babies that cute, who would mind?

…if you believe their former body guard. Read this statement from In Touch:

In an exclusive interview with In Touch, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s former bodyguard describes what he claims to be a woman whose erratic behavior, yelling fits, and unreasonable demands deeply hurt not only staff members—but especially Brad and their six children.

“Angelina has a public and a private persona,” claims the former bodyguard, who for security reasons chooses only to be identified by his first name, Bill. “In my opinion, the real Angelina is self-centered and a control freak. She has no patience at all. She doesn’t do things out of the kindness of her heart. And she’s totally psycho.”

While Brad is laid-back and patient with his kids’ often wild behavior, Angelina is anything but. “She screams and yells a lot, then walks away,” Bill says, explaining that Angelina would often “disappear into her suite for hours,” leaving staffers—and Brad—to deal with her children. “She would punish them with silence,” says Bill, adding, “I think she could be abusive at times in a mental way.” If the children were to get upset by her withholding behavior, he says, Angelina didn’t seem to care. “She is not moved by tears,” he explains. Still more disturbing, he recalls, Angelina has a “quirky habit” of “giggling when one of her kids would start crying.”

The bodyguard, who was working for Brad and Angelina at the start of their relationship, remembers “a lot of laughing and fun” and “spontaneous sex” back then. Now, though, the couple often sleeps in separate bedrooms, and that honeymoon phase seems to be ancient history. Even when they aren’t actively arguing, Bill says, Angelina “nitpicks” Brad—criticizing him constantly. “She says things like, ‘Are you going to wear that shirt again today?’ and tells him he’s like another one of the kids.”

According to Bill, Brad has come to dread Angelina’s phone calls. “She’ll call him from the set to interrogate him,” Bill explains. “His face goes white, and he just stares at his feet.” When Angelina’s yelling gets to be too much, Brad will “put her on speaker and walk away from the phone,” Bill reveals. “Angelina will hang up and continue calling until one of the staff picks up.”

Do you believe the bodyguard's tell-all interview?

The Jolie-Pitt family are adapting to Italy pretty well. Angelina Jolie is busy shooting The Tourist with co-star Johnny Depp, so the actress flew her entire family to Venice to keep them close while she is busy with the film.

Brad Pitt and the kids seem to be enjoying their time frolicking around Venice and immersing in the Italian culture.

Here is the couple helping their kids Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh get into a water taxi after having breakfast at Palazzina Grassi last Sunday.

Here is Ange filming a scene with Johnny Depp while Brad does daddy duty off set.

Two weeks ago, photographers spotted Brangelina aboard a canal boat with their twins Knox and Vivienne.

Even their sons Pax and Maddox enjoy strolling down the streets of Venice.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Brangelina purchase a house and decide to move to Venice away from the paparazzi-crazed life in Hollywood.

When in Venice with a loved one, you have to enjoy a romantic cruise down the Venice Canals. Brad Pitt and Angelina showed the pappz what love is all about as they went for a ride.

The power couple, brushing off rumors that they’re on their way to splitsville, will be spending the next three months in Venice to film Angelina’s new film Tourist. The guys at X17 were able to document this romantic moment for the world to see.

Hey, somebody should’ve sung “O Sole Mio!”

The cover blurb reads, “Fun, flirty, and 40. Happier and hotter than ever, she’s loving the single life—and her sexy nights out with Gerard Butler.”

I was never into the Team Jolie vs. Team Aniston clamor, but I can’t help but feel like it’s Jennifer Aniston’s time to shine. Sure, there are no official reports of the Brangelina split yet, but if the couple’s recent mood is any indicator, then it looks like 2010 isn’t Brangelina’s year.

Amidst rumors swirling about their unhappy home life, Brad Pitt steps out earlier in the day on January 6, 2010 in New York with partner Angelina Jolie before taking out the upset looking A-list actress for a romantic dinner away from their pack of children.

According to Daily Mail, “the news comes after months of speculation that the couple—who are not married—were drifting apart.” If you believe the unofficial reports, Brad and Angelina have already signed legal papers that will let them equally share their wealth, as well as custody of their children.

They fell in love with each other when they played a couple in Mr. and Mrs. Smith back in 2004 while Brad was still married to Jennifer Aniston. As soon as Brad and Jen’s divorce was finalized, he and Angelina began building a family, thus earning the couple the nickname Brangelina. They have three adopted kids (Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, and Zahara, 5), and three biological kids (Shiloh, 3, and twins Knox and Vivienne, both 17 months old).

Do you believe the reports?

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are rumoured to work at a sequel of ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’ and hope that the movie can reignite their marriage, revive the passion.

Although Pitt, who was still married to Jennifer Aniston, always denied it he and Jolie famously fell in love on the set of the first movie but now both struggle to keep the fire in their relationship alive. The couple, raising 6 kids and both entertaining an active high profile Hollywood career, struggle to find time and strength for each other but are eager to revive their relationship. It is said that Pitt has instructed screen writer Simon Kinberg to write a sequel, this time with kids in the story as well.

Will ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith and The Kids’ light the Brangelina fire again? If not, I’ll gladly cook for Angelina. Not daily though.

Brad was seen lately on the streets of LA on a custom bike. He looked pretty cool and you can see his pretty face through the face plate of his helmet. I wonder where his back ride was? See the picture on TMZ here.

I have to agree with Angelina here, Brad Pitt‘s peppy gym trainer character in the dark comedy Burn After Reading was probably the dishy Daddy-of-6′s least attractive role – not to mention sorely lacking in the grey cells department.

Brad joked about it as he told the press:

“She saw me in the gym gear and said, ‘This is the first time I can honestly say I’m not attracted to you whatsoever.’”

Oh my. Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston may cross paths at the Toronto International Film Festival. Granted, there are a lot of films — and a lot of stars — but one thing’s for sure: paparrazzi will be crossing their fingers for their encounter. That drama’s bound to be better than anything they show on the silver screen.

Brad and Angelina are eligible for child support — but the generous subsidies offered by French law are hardly enough to cover the cost of this glamour family’s lifestyle standards. The nanny fees can’t even get a pair of Baby Dior shoes!

Brad Pitt’s two loves — Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie — will come face to face in the Night Before party (held, you guessed it, the night before the Academy Awards).

Will Jen avoid Angelina, or will she go just to show everyone she is so over him and won’t miss the party of the year just to stay away from his wife? What would you do?

This year, the most celebrific family of all will be spending the holidays in the big easy with two new factors: a new home and new child, 4-year-old Pax from Vietnam to join the brood of already 3 kids, Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh.  The Pitt-Jolis expressed that they’ll be keeping the paparazzi far away from their New Orleans home, with Brad gushing that this is the year he plans to introduce Christmas properly to the kids, complete with toy helicopters.

Oooh, in-law problems. Apparently, Brad’s mom threw a hissy fit after reading Angelina’s recent interview with a British magazine. With typical candor, the actress proudly announced she had “tried every drug possible.”

Relax, Granny. There are worst things you can find in a daughter-in-law. Like stealing husbands (Jennifer Aniston has a lot to say on that!) or turning adoption into a hobby.

Meow.

Angelina Jolina narrowly escaped a serious “wardrobe malfunction”  at the premiere of
Beowulf when her skin-tight black leather pants started to split at the seams near the hem. Brad Pitt saved the day by hiding the rip with his palm, and holding it up while the actress continued to smile — as poised as ever — at photographers.

Then the poor woman stepped into a wad of gum. Ah, some days,  nothing goes right.

“It’s the greatest thing I’ve ever taken on,.”

“It’s the most difficult, the most rewarding and the most fun. I think this is the greatest thing I could possibly achieve, and hats off to all the parents out there.”

Do you believe her?  Angelina Jolie recently revealed to Britain’s Cosmo magazine that she has only ever had sexual relations with four men.   

The sexy star says that she never deserved her “man-eater” reputation & that she’s rather a good girl at heart.   “It was never true. I had only slept with four men in my life – and I married two of them,” Jolie revealed.

I think it’s interesting that Angie hasn’t really discussed how many women she has had sex with.  Maybe it’s too scary of a number.  What do you think?

After a very public outing in Chicago with partner in love Angelina Jolie, the sexy Brad Pitt got straight back to work in his adopted hometown of New Orleans.

Pitt was seen taking a tour on Tuesday of the newly constructed Global Green community which features low-income housing for the city’s Lower Ninth Ward.

I love seeing celebs doing good, don’t you?  And doesn’t it make all the difference when they’re hot to boot?!!

The Chicago Air & Water Show is regarded as the largest two-day spectator event in the U.S. & it got even bigger when none other than Angelina Jolie, partner in crime Brad Pitt & the whole family showed up for the spectacular show. 

The Hollywood duo, with brood in tow enjoyed the event with a boat ride on Lake Michigan to take in the festivities.  That is to say, that the famous family took in the scene for all of 45 minutes before choppy waters sent them on their sea sick way.

Poor fam, breakfast was better going down, now wasn’t it?

Despite growing rumors that Hollywood hot couple Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt are having trouble in paradise, the UK’s Daily Mail is going the opposite, saying that the duo plan to adopt again in the near future.

The British publication is revealing plans that Jolie & Pitt are planning on adopting an Ethiopian baby in three months time.

“Amid ongoing rumors of an irreparable rift with her partner Brad Pitt, the 32-year-old Oscar-winning star is preparing to travel with him to Ethiopia in three months to adopt another baby – their fourth non-biological child.

“According to sources close to the pair, they hope that another adoption will shore up their relationship as well as helping Zahara, the Ethiopian girl they adopted two years ago, feel more connected to the rest of the family.

“Miss Jolie adopted her eldest son Maddox, from Cambodia, five years ago prior to the start of her relationship with Pitt.

“Earlier this year the couple adopted Pax Thien, three, from Vietnam.

“’Brad and Angie have made no secret of the fact that they are keen to extend their rainbow family,’” said a source close to the couple.

“’But they’ve always been very careful to ensure that they leave enough time between kids so that that each child fully integrates into the family and feels truly settled.’”

I dunno.  I’m thinking this may just be rumors as well, just can’t see them adopting again right now.  What do you think?

Wow!  I need to move to Australia so I can join the ranks of those featured on famous postage stamps.

Angelina Jolie, along with partner Brad Pitt & baby Shiloh will be featured on a new Australian postage stamp.  Sounds like a good time, I guess.

Jolie, Pitt & Shiloh will now be joining ranks with the likes the Pope & the Queen for the high honor of going postal. 

“The Hollywood A-List couple were featured on the cover of a recent best-selling edition of New Idea, the magazine which this week received top honors at the 10th Annual Magazine of the Year Awards.

Australia Post, as major sponsor of the awards, plans to reproduce the best-selling New Idea cover in the form of a 50c stamp.

It shows a smiling Brad and Angelina with their newborn baby girl Shiloh.

“I don’t know of any other country in the world that has ever had Brad and Angelina on a stamp,” a New Idea spokesman said.

“Whatever the case, these stamps are sure to become instantly collectable and be sought after by philatelists around the country.”

We’ll just have to get our pretty little fingers on a few of those babies…

We’re all pretty worried about Angelina Jolie’s weight, she’s wasting away to nothing these days.  And I would have thought Ang would have been a smarter celeb than this….

A family friend reveals,  ”She’s wasting away, and Brad doesn’t know what to do.”

“He’s worried sick about her, but she refuses to eat.”

On a recent trip to see Brad’s family in Springfield, MO, Angelina only ate few grapes and a slice of watermelon.

I think it’s time to send a care package full of carbs &  fiber, don’t you think so?
