Pitt to Paps -- Back Off When Kids Are Around

Brad Pitt understands how the paparazzi game works -- and now he's trying to orchestrate an understanding when it comes to snapping him with his expanding brood.


A cool and respectful Pitt approached paps in New York yesterday as he entered an office building for a script reading, saying, "Man, you guys work hard!" He added that he'd be around the city with his children, and asked a favor of the photogs, saying, "Anything you guys can do long-lens would be much appreciated. You're workin' hard, you guys." Get this guy an embassy appointment!

Brad makes it look easy to be an international superstar with manners.

32. Shut up and quit acting like you know what goes on in their lives! You only WISH you knew! Maddox attends a french immersion school that has campuses all over the world. He can attend any one of them and the curriculum will be the same. Home is where the parents are.

34. Brad Pitt is super sexxxy. He is doing good things in New Orleans and Angie is doing good all over the world. I feel sorry for the TMZ girl. She totally got dissed by Pitt. I wonder if the paps will follow Pitt's wishes. I hope they do.

36. This is all well and good, but maybe he should tell Angelina to lay off using the kids as photo ops as well.

37. He seems like a nice guy that is just trying to live his life and do some good in the world.

38. That crazy he's married to probably alerts the paps to every move she's going to make.People can avoid being hassled by the media--if they really want to avoid it.

39. I think that was smart of him to do. Obviously, the paps aren't going to leave them alone but if he tries to work with them maybe they will be a little more respectful. As for the comments about moving the kids all over the world, my dad was a contractor and we moved all over the southwest following his jobs. I have seven brothers and sister and we all went on to college and are happy adults. It doesn't matter where you are just as long as you have a family that makes you feel safe and secure.

I assume the question was referring to the floods in Chicago.
Maybe she thought he could stop it!

41. Good for you, Brad. I doubt they'll listen, but I hope they do.

Hey, it's been like an hour, and they still haven't adopted another orphan!

C'mon, the fashion is passing, like that purse you got last year.....

44. I don't understand why everyone keeps saying that they use their children as photo ops. They don't force the photogs to follow them around. I mean come on what are they supposed to do leave the kids at home with a nanny all day? I take my children places all of the time (the park, museums, the zoo, to and from school). What are they not allowed to do normal things with their children just because they're famous? Hell if they weren't seen in public with their kids then people would complain that they don't spend time with them. Either way they lose. I congratulate Brad for working with the photogs. He knows they aren't going to stop, so he wants them to stay as far away from the kids as possible while still doing their jobs.

The reason Angie gets a fashion accessory, ooops, I mean a kid, from different countries, is that she wouldn't pass a parental review, for being a compulsive child acquire-er, whatever.
