As you may have noticed, the previous update was done by my friend La_miga. You may know her from her wonderful spanish Brad and Angelina fansite Brangelina Espanol. Due to me going on a trip to London this weekend, and at the end of the year for a much longer period to Australia, she has graciously accepted my plea to help out. I’m very committed to the website and so it would bug me if the site isn’t updated when grand Brad news is announced lol.

So, La_miga will keep you all up-to-date on everything Brad like I always try to do. Any new pictures will have to wait until I return. For my next trip I will have to see if I can also arrange the picture updates. Since SB is such a huge website with many layers of work and organisation (and me being the annoying perfectionist), this is how it will be for this coming trip. Please give her a warm welcome :)

Alright, so that’s the staff update. And now we gotta wait for pics to show up as Brad will attend the Los Angeles Inglourious Basterds premiere today!

Brad Pitt has reportedly said that being a father is a full-time job.

The Inglourious Basterds star, who recently opened up about getting older, revealed that he takes his fatherly duties very seriously.

Pitt told OK magazine: “You can’t escape the very serious responsibilities that you have as a father.”

The 45-year-old actor also explained that his relationship with actress Angelina Jolie has strengthened over time.

He added: “We share a sense of commitment, which has definitely given us both a lot of satisfaction in terms of how our relationship has evolved.

“We’re two strong, independent individuals sharing a life together and enjoying being parents to six wonderful children.”

Kaiser Chiefs meet Brad

On Friday night in New Orleans, Britain’s Kaiser Chiefs wrapped their series of dates supporting Green Day with a spectacular finale that included a stage invasion and a superstar sighting.

“Brad Pitt was there,” Kaiser’s drummer Nick Hodgson told Spinner Saturday morning. “It was totally cool. We met Brad Pitt.”

Hodgson explained he ran into the star as the actor came out for the show. “He had his kids with him,” he said, kindly declining our request to tell us which ~~Brangelina spawn~~ children (Pax & Maddox) were in attendance (although he noted they had headphones on). “[There were] a couple security and that, but he was just sat in the normal seats.”

Although the Kaiser Chiefs are big stars in the native England, headlining festivals and topping charts, Hodgson revealed his band couldn’t help but feel star struck over the leading man. “We had a photograph taken just like regular nerds,” he said, before revealing that act didn’t come without a little trouble. “We had the camera set to video so we had to call him back. He was cool. It’s not the first time [that’s happened].”

Novak complimented Pitt for his constant good nature. “Brad would keep his [Southern] accent between takes, spend a lot of time choosing his guns and weapons,” Novak said. “He always brought a sense of fun to the set.”
