Papa Pitt Protects Pax from Paps
A protective Brad Pitt attempted to shield son Pax from swarming paparazzi as the two made their way from an SUV in New York on Thursday. Stand back, man with child!
While in New York, the adorable father and son maneuvered through flashbulbs and stopped into the medical offices of Dr. Jane Aronson, a pediatrician and renowned adoption medicine specialist. Catching a glimpse of the Brangelina matrix, Dr. Aronson can be heard shooing the photogs by repeatedly saying,"Go away." It didn't work.
Earlier this year, Pax won the maternal lotto, when Angelina Jolie adopted him from a Viet Nam orphanage. Last month, Pax's last name was legally changed to Jolie-Pitt. Lucky bastard!

Brangelina -- Screw the Press, Bring on the Fans!
Angelina Jolie banned press from the premiere of her film last night -- but when it came to the fans, she showed nothin' but love.
Both Brad and Angie signed photos for almost everyone who showed up to the premiere of "A Mighty Heart," starring Jolie and produced by Pitt. Looks like having AP and USA Today pull themselves off the red carpet allowed for a bit more time with the autograph-hungry crowd!
And though she obliged with plenty of John Hancocks, Angie didn't give the crowd anything more to go wild about -- pulling off a classy exit from her SUV and narrowly avoiding a Britney-esque moment.

Pitt & Clooney Mixed Up in Gay Bar Fight
Known for their goodwill efforts in poverty-ravaged parts of the world like Darfur, Brad Pitt and George Clooney are now being asked to come to the aid of a slightly less disenfranchised group -- Laguna Beach gays!
The Boom Boom Room, a popular Laguna Beach, Calif. gay bar for over 60 years, was sold to a Beverly Hills billionaire two years ago for over $12 million. That's a lot of cosmos! In 2005, Pitt & Clooney were incorrectly labeled as co-investors in the bar, whose rightful owners were planning on turning into yet another upscale (and undoubtedly hetero) oceanfront hotel. The Heche Hilton! With those plans now scrapped, the bar (which is scheduled to stay open until Labor Day) is back on the market and a grassroots organization is appealing to the Hollywood hunks to help Save the Boom!
To make sure they get the message, TMZ has exclusively obtained the ad Save the Boom is running in Monday's Variety, which hopes to persuade Brad and George to "buy our 60-year-old landmark before it is converted into a boutique hotel." And homophobes say gays are the ones doing all the converting?!
Will Brad and Clooney take the bait...or just Stonewall it?

Pax a Pitt!
TMZ was in a Los Angeles County Superior Court this morning as little Pax Thien Jolie officially became the newest member of the Jolie-Pitt tribe, having Pitt legally added to his last name. Who's your daddy?!
Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt is the third adopted child of Angelina Jolie to take the name of A-list dadfriend, Brad Pitt. Angelina adopted the 3-year-old boy from an orphanage in Southern Vietnam earlier this year.
As TMZ first reported, as part of the petition for name change, the child's new name was published in a legal journal for four weeks in support of the petition.

For an allegedly frail woman, Angelina Jolie has no problem with heavy lifting.

Killer Whales a No-Go for Maddox
Maddox Jolie-Pitt is no fool.
He stayed well-behind a wall and looked on as brother Pax and mother Angelina fed killer whales at Marineland in Antibes, France. The trio took the aquatic break while in Cannes for the film festival, although Maddox looks like he'd rather be in the arms of his hunky dad.
Here's hoping the whales aren't too hungry!

Clooney Bags on Brangelina
George Clooney thinks Angelina Jolie is a "horrible" and "ugly" person.
While promoting "Oceans 13" in Cannes with co-star Matt Damon, the two started to rip on Brangelina, saying "Brad has had it tough" between being "hobbled with children" and "that horrible, ugly wife." Clooney went on to say that Brad should just kill himself to get out of the horrendous situation.
Of course, Pitt also stars in the upcoming caper, and the gang has a history of ragging on each other and playing practical jokes -- TMZ's favorite? Clooney allegedly putting a "Small Penis on Board" bumper sticker on Pitt's car. That's what friends are for.

Angelina -- "This Has Been a Heavy Year"
It might seem like she's got a charmed life -- gorgeous kids, great baby daddy, killer career -- but Angelina Jolie says she's actually "in a strange place" in her life, and that the past year, with the death of her mother, has been "heavy."
In an interview with the "Today" show's Ann Curry, Jolie said that her life with Brad Pitt and the four kids isn't as "crazy" as everyone makes it out to be (though Curry informed her that someone had tried to climb a wall to get a shot of their chat). "I take my kids to school ... I come home ... I have a very solid, very warm home," said Angie.
But when the talk turned to her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died earlier this year, the actress -- currently portraying Marianne Pearl in "A Mighty Heart" -- acknowledged that it's been "a heavy year," and let the waterworks flow (just a little), chiding Curry for making her cry.
Brad Pitt: Mr. Mom
While Angelina Jolie was out bringing home the bacon, Hollywood hunk turned suburban soccer dad Brad Pitt brought home kiddies Zahara and Pax from school in Prague on Tuesday. Daddy day care!
Pitt has been quite the stay-at-home dad -- and a fixture on the school grounds -- while Angie films her new thriller "Wanted" in the Czech capital.
With his new role as happy homemaker, Brad's gone from a Greek god ... to domestic goddess! Desperate househusband!

Brangelina Breaks the Bank for Refugees
They haven't adopted a child from there yet, but Brangelina donated a cool million bucks yesterday to assist refugees in the Darfur region of Sudan.
Brad and Angie's donation will go to a variety of relief organizations working to help people displaced by the ongoing war in the region. It seems the do-gooding duo decided to make the donation after a visit to area refugee camps last month. Moving Jolie one step closer to sainthood-on-earth, International Rescue Committee president George Rupp said, "This donation will make a real difference in the lives of thousands of vulnerable people."
Pax -- Even Closer to Becoming a Pitt
TMZ has obtained the required public notices announcing Angelina Jolie's desire to change newly adopted son Pax's last name to Jolie-Pitt.
The law demands that Jolie publish information about the little guy's name change for four consecutive weeks -- in any publication -- so that anyone wishing to legitimately contest the the name change has the proper information to do so.
Sneaky Angelina chose the Daily Commerce, a small legal journal with a circulation of about 800. Fortunately, one of those readers is a TMZ fan! The posting, which has already been published three times, will run one final time in Friday's edition.
Jolie's next court hearing is scheduled for May 31, when Pax is expected to officially become a Jolie-Pitt.
