Happy 5th Birthday Knox and Vivienne!

Knox Jolie-Pitt, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt
Happy Birthday, Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt!
Five years ago today Angelina Jolie andBrad Pitt welcomed their youngest two children at a hospital in the South of France, bringing their brood from four to six.
It's been a whirlwind year for the adorable twins, who have been busy jet-setting around the world with their famous parents while living a life most adults would envy.
Most recently, Knox and Vivienne took a tour of Berlin with their movie-star mama and four siblings—11-year-old Maddox, 9-year-oldPax, 8-year-old Zahara and 7-year-old Shiloh—after celebrating Angie's 38th birthday with a fun-filled family dinner the night before.
It's also been a year full of personal growth for the Jolie-Pitts after Angie revealed sheunderwent a preventative double mastectomy to greatly reduce her risk of breast cancer.
The ever-supportive Brad shared how their entire family participated in the recovery process and did their part to help Angie heal.
Speaking with USA Todaythe 49-year-old star explained how he and the kids "set up our own little post-op recovery that became pretty fun," admitting, "You make an adventure out of it."
"My most proudest thing is our family," the World War Z star gushed.

The twins have also become quite the style icons, developing their own fashion sense as they grow up in the spotlight.
And Angie and Brad have of course done their part to make sure their kids are well-educated, even toting their little ones to the Los Angeles Natural History Museum on Valentine's Day for an educational outing.
Sometime in the (hopefully!) near future, Knox and Viv will also witness their A-list parents tie the knot after the Brad and Angie finally got engaged last year due to their kids' demands.
"It is a promise for the future and their kids are very happy," Pitt's rep said of the engagement.
While no wedding date has been set, Brad confessed in the fall their kids are getting anxious for Angie to walk down the aisle.
"We're getting a lot of pressure from the kids," the father of six admitted. "We didn't realize how much it meant to them and then, in getting engaged, how much it also means to us."
No doubt, Knox and Vivienne will be the most adorable members of the wedding party.
Happy birthday, you two!

Zahara: "You're not making out again, are you?"

Brad Pitt talks about his life with Angelina Jolie, their six kids and his past drug use in Esquire.
Get a room! Brad Pitt's love for Angelina Jolie is stronger than ever. The June/July issue of Esquire magazine -- conducted before Jolie went public about her double mastectomy -- profiles the 49-year-old World War Z actor and gives a glimpse into his loving home life.
"Once I walked in and Angie was standing there and Zahara walked up and said, 'Daddy, you're not going to start making out with Mommy again, are you?' And it's like that. This is a guy who has tried not to do any sexy scenes with other women since he's met Angelina. He's crazy about her, and she's the same way about him," Frank Pollaro, a close friend of Pitt's, tellsEsquire. "No matter how hard he's working, if one of those kids runs by the window he'll get out of his chair and give them a kiss. And I don't think I've ever seen Angie without one of those children in her arms."


And Pitt himself admits he's the happiest when he's surrounded by his partner of eight years, Jolie, 37, and their six children -- Maddox, 11, Pax, 9, Zahara, 8, Shiloh, 6, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 4.
"I have very few friends. I have a handful of close friends and I have my family and I haven't known life to be any happier," he shares. "I'm making things. I just haven't known life to be any happier."


Before he met Jolie on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004, Pitt -- wed to Jennifer Aniston until 2005 -- says his life had little meaning.
"For a long time I thought I did too much damage -- drug damage. I was a bit of a drifter . . . I spent years f--king off. But then I got burnt out and felt that I was wasting my opportunity. It was a conscious change," Pitt explains. "This was about a decade ago. It was an epiphany -- a decision not to squander my opportunities. It was a feeling of get up. Because otherwise, what's the point?"


Pitt's fiancee also recently made the brave decision to undergo a preventative double mastectomy after learning she carries the BRCA1 gene, which increases her risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. "Having witnessed this decision firsthand, I find Angie's choice, as well as so many others like her, absolutely heroic," Pitt told The London Evening Standard. "All I want for is for her to have a long and healthy life, with myself and our children. This is a happy day for our family.

Daddy Threesome

Bad Pitt and daughters Shiloh and Zahara Jolie-Pitt.
Daddy's little girls! Brad Pitt was joined by daughters Shiloh and Zahara on his trip to Russia this week to continue promotions for his new film, World War Z, at the Moscow International Film Festival.

The threesome held hands while visiting the Moscow Kremlin on Friday, June 21. Pitt, 49, was dressed all in gray for the outing, and Shiloh, 7, wore a black shirt and dark shorts. But fashionista Zahara, 8, stood out in a neon yellow shirt, pink leggings and a cropped denim vest.
Shiloh and Zahara have been enjoying a little quality time with their dad recently. The girls also traveled with Pitt to New York City on June 17, and went shopping together while he promoted World War Z. 


Pitt told reporters at the NYC premiere that his oldest son, Maddox, 11, makes his film debut in World War Z. "He gets shot in the head . . . multiple times. But he gets double tapped. I don't know what that says about me as a parent," he joked.

Mom Angelina Jolie, 38, is currently away visiting Syrian refugees in Jordan to commemorate World Refugee Day. On the UNHCR's website, the Special Envoy explained that the purpose of her visit is "to show support for Syria's refugees, to call on the world to address their plight, and to better understand needs in Jordan and other countries in the region most directly affected by this devastating conflict.

Dad and Pax

Pax Jolie-Pitt's passport is getting quite the workout!
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's 9-year-old son remained by his pop's side as they continued their father-son globe-trotting tour while the 49-year-old actor promotes his upcoming zombie-apocalypse thriller World War Z.
The duo arrived as South Korea's Gimpo Airport in Seoul Tuesday, and it looks like the adorable kid brought along some eye-catching carry-on luggage.

Pax and Dad

Brad Pitt, Pax
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's son Pax got some special one-on-one time with dad on Sunday.
The World War Z star and his 9-year-old son were out and about in Sydney, where Brad was in town to promote his new flick.
The father of six has been all about World War Z lately, surprising audiences at screenings everywhere from Hoboken, N.J., to L.A. to London. Clearly, though, he's not letting a promotional blitz keep him from daddy duty.

In an interview with Esquire, the 49-year-old actor revealed that he couldn't be "any happier" with where his live has taken him, especially when it comes to his fiancĂ© and children.
"I always thought that if I wanted to do a family, I wanted to do it big," he said. "I wanted there to be chaos in the house...There's constant chatter in our house, whether it's giggling or screaming or crying or banging. I love it. I love it. I love it. I hate it when they're gone. I hate it. Maybe it's nice to be in a hotel room for a day—'Oh, nice, I can finally read a paper.' But then, by the next day, I miss that cacophony, all that life."
So sweet. We're guessing Pax doesn't mind the occasional chance to have papa Brad all to himself, though!

Pax and Angelina: Airport Adventure for 2

Angelina Jolie walks with Pax Pitt-Jolie, who's carrying a large purpe stuffed animal at JFK Airport in NYC on June 24, 2013.
Angelina Jolie's son Pax Jolie-Pitt brought along a not-so-little friend for a recent flight: A giant purple stuffed animal! Clutching his beloved doll, the nine-year-old -- the second eldest in the Jolie-Pitt clan -- was alongside his famous mother, 38, as the pair touched down at NYC's JFK airport on Monday, June 24. (Jolie was in the Big Apple to address the United Nations in her capacity as special envoy for the UNHCR.)

The pair were then snapped late that night in L.A., with Pax still holding onto his monkey-like purple friend. Pax and his five siblings have been traveling the globe even more than usual lately, escorting their father Brad Pitt for worldwide premieres of World War Z. The entire crew was together earlier this month for Jolie's 38th birthday; they celebrated the milestone (and no doubt Jolie's recovery following her preventative double mastectomy earlier this year) with a sushi dinner in Berlin.


Pax's big brother Maddox, 11, makes a surprising cameo in the zombie epic. "He gets shot in the head . . . multiple times," Jolie's fiance Pitt, 49 recently revealed. "But he gets double tapped. I don't know what that says about me as a parent." The star added that both Pitt and Maddox "love" the PG-13 flick.

The actor's young costar Fabrizio Zacharee Guido also bonded with Pax and Maddox on set. "They're so much fun. They're just normal kids," Guido said.

Maddox Jolie Pitt next Jaden Smith?

Maddox
by Lauren Mandel
At the New York City premiere of "World War Z," Brad Pitt revealed that his son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, will make his feature film debut alongside his dad in the new zombie horror film opening this weekend. In his cameo role, Maddox plays a very short-lived Zombie!
"He gets shot in the head," Pitt explained to reporters at E! News. "He gets shot multiple times... I don't know what that says about me as a parent."
With parents as well-versed in high intensity action movies as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, it comes as no surprise that their eldest son is ready to take his first step into the Hollywood limelight. In fact, this story sounds very similar to that of power couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's son, and current "After Earth" star, Jaden Smith. It turns out the two child stars have more in common than you'd think! Check out our list below!


We hope to see Maddox in his upcoming movie!

MADDOX'S IPAD: STOLEN

Maddox Jolie-Pitt--- his IPAD was stolen. Luckily, a paparazzo took a pic of it.
You never hear a good story about the paparazzi — so today we wanted to make sure that you heard that a paparazzo covering Maddox Pitt-Jolie saw a crime take place and helped nab the suspect.
A photographer from Fame-Flynet saw a man at Hollywood Sports Park in Bellflower, California last Saturday put on black gloves and enter the Jolie-Pitt SUV and steal a cellphone and two iPads — one labeled “family.”
According a press release from the LA Sheriff’s Department sent to RumorFix, the suspect Lorenzo Castro “allegedly quickly returned to his car and attempted to drive out of the parking lot. The citizen used his vehicle to block Mr. Castro’s path, called 911 and flagged down a private security officer for help.”
All of his actions were caught on tape. Castro didn’t resist arrest and the stolen property was returned to Maddox who was playing paintball.
Although the sheriff’s department appreciates the Good Samaritan efforts, they say, “We recommend reporting a crime in progress immediately by calling 9-1-1 and being a good witness.”
In essence: “Don’t try this at home!”
Thank God to the paparazzo
