Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's eldest kid Maddox really is coasting through life.



The adorable eight-year-old played captain Thursday by taking the wheel of a water taxi in Venice, Italy.

Who needs a license, when you're a Jolie-Pitt?

With four of their six ridiculously adorable kids in tow, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie roamed the streets of Venice, Italy like one big happy family on Tuesday.



I scream, you scream, we all scream for Maddox, Pax, Shiloh and Zahara.

Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie are not pulling the plug on their relationship, multiple people directly connected with the couple tell TMZ.

There's a report out that Brad and Angie are calling it quits. One source -- who should know -- says, "It's B.S."

BTW -- it's a guarantee the two won't be getting a divorce, because the two are not married.

It is now safe to step back from the ledge.

Brangelina's first three kids just got something they probably find really boring at this point -- more money.


The estate for Angie's mom -- the late actress Marcheline Bertrand -- has finally been divvied up after her death in 2007, and it spells $$$ for three bouncing Jolie-Pitts.

According to documents filed in L.A. Superior Court last week -- Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh were each left $100,000 in a shiny new trust fund, but here's the catch: they can't touch it 'til they turn 25.

Bad news for Pax and the twins though -- Grandma's will was last updated in 2006, before any of them came into the picture ... so they lose out. But we think they'll be ok.

Forget the giant ball that'll drop in NYC come midnight -- last night the biggest thing on the block was Brad Pitt.


Brad, Pax and Maddox were completely swarmed by paps, fans and tourists after a trip to Dave & Buster's, where they tried to be inconspicuous ... in Times Square ... the night before New Year's Eve.

Better luck next year.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie almost ate as an entire family today -- gettin' most of their kids together for a cafe' break in NYC earlier today.


Brangie -- along with Zahara, Maddox, Shiloh and Pax -- got out of the cold at Cafe Metro ... a little place near Angelina's movie set.

No twins this time -- good thing they can afford a sitter.

UN Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie set a good example for her eldest child Maddox ... by buying him a dart gun in France on Tuesday.



What a cute shot.

Brad Pitt, his son Maddox and that funky beard showed up to watch "Mary Poppins" on Broadway this weekend in NYC -- and apparently everyone in the city showed up to watch them leave the theater.

Brad Pitt further proved he's the coolest dad ever by taking sons Pax and Maddox to a Green Day concert in New Orleans last week.



While it may or may not be a testament to the band's music, Brad made sure the boys' ears were safely covered and plugged.

Apparently, all that punk/pop screeching was enough to rock Pax to sleep.

Shiloh, Zahara, Pax and Maddox may have been the ones getting Happy Meals -- but the happiest people at an L.A. Mickey D's this weekend were the employees serving Brangelina's brood.

The universe owes this lovely looking couple a debt of gratitude -- they spawned the delicious cut of man meat that is Brad Pitt.


Brad took the boys out to coffee in Long Island this weekend with his 'rents, Bill and Jane.

Seriously, thank you.
