Gossip & Rumors
Nanny Got Brad and Angie's Goat

We started getting tips about Brad Pitt and Angelina Joile -- that they never let the kids go out in public with nannies because they want the public to see them as hands-on parents, which means the kids would basically be held hostage in the house unless their parents take them out. Absolutely not true.

We have really good spies in this department and here's what we know. As it was put to us, "Brad and Angelina don't give a f**k what the world thinks of how they're raising their kids." We're told their entire life revolves around the kids, and the houses they stay in are "dirty from the kids" -- with toys everywhere, food on the floor and fingerprints on the walls.

We're told during weekends, there is a "minimal staff" at home -- a cook and security, and that's it. The homes they stay at are often in the hills or at the beach, and security's top job is making sure the kids don't hurt themselves.

The Hollywood Hills home Brad has owned for years will soon become home base. We're told the main advantage is it's completely enclosed and the kids can roam on the property.

The best line -- "They live like people in Simi Valley, only with more zeros on the price of the home."

121. I am the oldest of 8. All of us had plenty of attention and love. We were taught to depend on each other and to respect one another. We are a team, even now that we have our own families. My parents didn't have a nanny, and yeah sometimes there was food dropped and there were toys everywhere. But love is more important than that. I only have 2 kids and I can barely keep up the house! My children look people in the eye and know how to speak properly to adults. It is very possible to have healthy, happy children when there are so many. I also find it funny that the people who are so opposed to what Brad and Angie are doing also have no vocabulary and don't know how to spell or use punctuation.

122. Mean-spirited, judgemental, bitter and jealous people! I'm pretty sure that your lives are sooooo perfect that you are imminently qualified to criticize theirs.

123. #5 You'd jump her bones in a second if she would even give you the time of day!! She is not a homewrecker. Jen doesn't consider a homewrecker, so why should you? Brad and Jen were on the skids when he met Angie. If you look at Jen's track record with men since Brad, it might offer a clue why it didn't work with Brad. She is clingy, needy, inecure, whiney, and not all that attractive. Plus, her career (lmao, WHAT career?) was more important than kids...and Brad wanted a family.

How they raise their family is no one's business but theirs. I am just pleased to learn they have a cook which means the kids are eating something besides jumk food 24/7. I am anxious to see more pictures of the twins!!!

I love the Jolie-Pitts, their kids and what the family is doing for disadvantaged people all over the world. I am almost embarrassed that we have seen more relief from our summer flooding in Iowa than New Orleans has seen in 2+ years. Brad has made a personal and financial commitment to help rebuild New Orleans housing. And Brad, Matt Damon, George Clooney, and Damon's budfdy (can't remember hs name) are helping in Darfur. Both Angie and Brad have established charities in the countries from which the kids were adopted, in the children's names, to help build schools, hospitals, etc. And they have their own charities. NOW, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO BETTER THE WORLD?

They are good people. They can afford to care for as many children as they choose to bring into their family. Why are you reading and commenting if you dislike them so much? Hypocrite!!!

124. if anyone that reads this remembers when brad was married to jen, then you should remember brad stating that thier biggest problem in their marrage is that he wanted alot of kids and jen didn't want any!!! and as far as Angie steal Brad away why blame her Brad knew he was married and didn't care he is the CHEATER not Angie and besides we don't live inside their homes every minute of the day. How do we really know Brad and Jen wan't having a lot of problems prior to Mr & Mrs Smith getting together. We all know that Angie has had her fair share of men in her life maybe this time it's the real thing and the two of them will live happy ever after together. So unless you know something for sure don't assume anything because that only makes a ass out of you and me.

125. #102 Tammy..how mean they were, how lousy they were? WTF are you talking about.

People adopt from overseas for various reasons. I adopted my daughter from India (after turning down a referral from Guatemala) b/c of the wonderful Indian friends I have. Brad and Angie may yet adopt from the US, but the need overseas in 3rd world countries is SO FAR GREATER than it is here. Do you know that a child in Africa is orpohaned by AIDS every 16 seconds? Or that many children eat dirt b/c they have no food? That children as young as toddlers are begging on the streets for food and/or money? You don't see that here. We have a foster system here. Granted, it is far from perfect but at least we have it. In other countries, families cannot afford to take in another mouth to feed. If the children are "lucky" enough to make it into an orphanage they have a chance at survival.

So, don't belittle those of us who choose to adopt internationally. We have done our research and determined where the need is greatest.

126. #78 & 79...Riplee......and how do you know Angie has no friends? Have you seen films of her life 24/7? Of course not. She has many friends. I have seen pictures of her taken having lunches with friends, on playdates with friends, etc. Just b/c YOU have never seen her doesn't mean a damned thing. Get over yourself.

And why, with the majority of you posting here being such Angie and Brad haters, are you reading this article and wasting your precious time commenting in the first place? You must lead very sad lives to tear people down you know virtually nothing about. I wonder how you would like it? My consolation is that they have better things to do than read your ugliness.

128. thanks tmz for telling the truth. when angie and brad were in n.y.and also n.orleans they were always out and about. maybe everyone should leave them alone to raise thier family the way they want. f they are anything like thier parents they will be great additions to the future of this world. leave your nasty remarks in your thoughtless heads and learn to respect those that are doing so much good in this world now

130. People are so busy nowadays, worrying and fearing what's next. STOP! Think about what you can do to help others that don't have it as good as you do. What have you done lately to "Pay-it-forward" like the book "21 Days To Creating Your Dream Life" talks about? Try doing one thing every week, eventually everyday, to change the perceptions of how people view each other.

131. WHY do people continue to dis somebody they don't even know? These two DO have their hands full with children, careers , responsibilities, their relationship, giving their charitable duties some time...and a myriad of things people who aren't in the entertainment industry have no clue about...believe it or not, they have a LOT of employees they have to take care of too, not to mention trying to get additional movie roles, so they can have the income necessary to take care of all of them (agents, managers, business managers, PR people, personal assistants, caretakers for their various properties, cooks, nannies, stylists, hair and makeup people...and the list goes on)...SO...back off b*****s !!

132. Can I claim a little jealousy? Sure. After all, my children go to public school, play football and soccer, love the Wiggles, Dora, and Spongebob. They have a blast at a Jonas Brothers concert. It's so depressing that I don't have security to carry my 3 year old around when I need to chase down my other too. I get bummed out because I don't have a private physician to cater to my diabetic daughter. ARE YOU FRICKING KIDDING ME?????? They deal with NOTHING but bad press, which they create for themselves. Christ - you have more money than GOD. HIRE A MAID SERVICE!!!! If my children didn't clean their rooms, guess what? NO CONCERTS. NO TOYS. NO NOTHING! The next generation of celeb kids are ALL going to be like Britney Spears. All of them. The only one with hope to be normal is Mad. It's a shame, because they are gorgeous kids. Just proves that money doesn't buy your way out of the white trash life. It pisses me off that all of us peons work our asses off and they sit on their throne at the end of the destroyed Jennifer Aniston Avenue, collecting money for whoring out their newborn children.

135. I am so starstruck by the amount of people on this blog who know Angie and Brad so personally that they know exactly what their lives are like and how they behave in their houses. Must be awesome to be on the "inside"
