Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to Wed This Weekend??

Preparations for a huge party at the home of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have sparked speculation that the couple will tie the knot THIS WEEKEND.

 It's probably just that - speculation - but guests, including Brad's parents, have arrived in France ahead of the couple's bash at Chateau Miraval. 

 The jeweler Robert Procop, who crafted Angelina's $250,000 diamond and platinum engagement ring, is also believed to be in attendance. 

So ... Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Photo Guests are said to include Brad's A-list friend George Clooney, who is currently just a short flight away at his home on Lake Como, Italy. 

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's engagement in April, after seven years and six children, immediately gave way to the obligatory wedding rumors. 

 "Brad flew in to oversee preparations but they’re all here now. They say the party is for [his parents] Bill and Jane Pitt, but some think this could be it." "There’s a real buzz around the estate."

 Whenever it occurs, it is believed that Brangelina will wed in a private chapel on the grounds of their home, a modest $50 million estate in the South of France. 

 After their engagement was announced it was revealed that a huge reception hall was under construction on the property - next to a quaint chapel. Makes you wonder!

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt kiss their way through the SAG Awards (photos)

They are one of the most famous couples in the world. And though their romance has been very public from the start, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt don't usually indulge in public displays of affection. So it was a huge surprise when the pair shared a series of tender kisses on the red carpet at last night's Screen Actors Guild awards. 

 Later, as they sat at a table during the ceremony, it was clear their attention was only for each other. Brad was seen leaning in towards his partner to share a kiss mid-way through the awards. And as Angelina looked back to the stage she was seen placing a hand on her partner’s thigh. 

 At the end of the show the couple were seen sharing another smooch as they stood up from the table and the flashing cameras close by certainly didn’t bother them. Perhaps the show of affection was a consolation prize for Brad,48, who failed to scoop the Male Actor award which was won by The Artist star Jean DuJardin. Or it could be that the pair were simply making the most of a night off from parent duty to enjoy a few moments together. There is also the tantalising possibility that the pair are about to get engaged. 

In a recent interview, Brad said that he wanted to marry his long-term partner because it meant so much to their six children. Earlier in the evening the pair arrived on the red carpet and were greeted by pandemonium. As ever Brad proved the perfect gentleman and stepped out of the car and made his way around the car to open the door for Angelina.

Brad Pitt makes a dramatic U-turn and reveals he can't wait to marry Angelina Jolie

They have always said that they'll get married when gay marriage becomes legal in all states.

But Brad Pitt has made a dramatic U-turn, revealing he'd like to wed the mother of his six children, Angelina Jolie.

In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, the Oscar-nominated actor gushed over his partner of seven years.

When asked whether he would marry Angelina, the Oscar nominated actor made a stunning admission: 'We made this declaration some time ago that we weren’t going to do it till everyone can. But I don’t think we’ll be able to hold out.'

Giving the first indication that a wedding to the beautiful actress might come sooner rather than later.

He said their six children were one of the significant factors behind his change of heart.

Brad said: 'We’d actually like to, and it seems to mean more and more to our kids.

'It means so much to my kids, and they ask a lot. And it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment.'

But he didn't go as far as saying he had asked Angelina to marry him, adding: 'I'm not going to go any further.'

However, despite his U-turn, he reiterated his support for gay marriage.

'But to be in love with someone and be raising a family with someone and want to make that commitment and not be able to is ludicrous, just ludicrous.'

On the Ellen DeGeneres show in September, Brad told the host: 'I've said that we would not be getting married until everyone in this county has the right to get married.

'We live in this great country that is about freedom. It is defined by our freedom and equality and yet we allow this discrimination to go on everyday and that's not what we're about. That's not what makes us great. Until that is reversed. I just don't get it.'

They started dating after starring in the 2004 film, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, while Brad was still married to Friends star Jennifer Aniston.

In April 2005, two months after Jen filed for divorce, the first pictures emerged of the couple together on a beach win Kenya with Ange's son Maddox.

Although he denies adultery, Brad has said he fell in love with the actress on set.

Angelina Jolie's brood in her own words

Diversity is the spice of life - and none more so than for Hollywood star Angelina Jolie, who bucks the trend when it comes the all-American family. In a new interview, the stunning actress opens up about her brood of six children - who between them were born in five different countries across three continents and are raised by their American parents, power couple 'Brangelina'. 

Speaking to the U.S. January edition of Marie Claire, Jolie describes each of them in loving detail, referencing their quirks, hobbies and behavioural traits. It is a favourite talking point for the doting actress - who credits family life as keeping her on the straight and narrow. 

Indeed in an television chat with Anderson Cooper - set to air on his show next Monday - Jolie refers to how worldly her children are already becoming on account of their many globe-trotting adventures. She told the host: 'Fortunately, my kids love to travel because I do and they're very worldly and what I love is that they can be in New York in a hotel in Manhattan and think it's so cool.' Then she adds: 

'[But] then I can bring them to the middle of Kenya and drop them in a tent with no TV and no nothing and they're just as happy as, so I feel like that's what we are trying to do to balance them. Speaking to Marie Claire, she described her three-year-old biological twin daughter Vivienne as being a 'girly girl', divulging: 'She is so elegant and delicate. Vivi will pick flowers from the garden and put them in her hair.

Angelina described how her five-year-old biological daughter Shiloh with partner Brad Pitt has been 'riding [four-wheelers]' adding about her tomboy character traits: 'She doesn't want to learn about the brakes. She just wants to go! It's the combination of the two of us.

Speaking of her bond with first child Maddox, 10, who she adopted in 2002 from Cambodia, she said: 'He really does take care of me. He will hold my hand and say, "Are you feeling tired? Is that why you are upset?" Yeah, he really does take care of me.' Of her eldest daughter Zahara, aged six, who she adopted in 2005 from Ethiopia, the actress says: 'She's begun horseback riding. She has found her thing.'

Eight-year-old son Pax, meanwhile, who Brad and Angelina adopted in 2007 from Vietnam is 'extremely wild... but he has a very, very good heart.

'You know, like those punk rockers - when you really get to know them and they are just pussycats. But at the same time, he is going to get into some kind of trouble.' She also gushed about her happiness saying:

'Brad has expanded my life in ways I never imagined. We built a family. He is not just the love of my life, he is my family. I hold that very dear. 'I suppose what I’ve learned from Brad is to be able to have the kind of family whose happiness and well-being comes before your own.'

Brad Pitt Says His Daughter Zahara Would Be Dead If She Hadn't Been Adopted

Cute Zahara, Pitts daughter

With his new movie "Moneyball" soon in theaters, Brad Pitt has been opening up to the press about what they want to know about most: his family.

He already had to clarify the comments that he made in an interview with Parade magazine, explaining that he did not call his marriage to ex-wife Jennifer Aniston dull, but in that same interview, Pitt also opened up to Parade about his multiple adoptions with Angelina Jolie.

Hollybaby reports that Pitt told the magazine the conditions Zahara was living in when Jolie adopted her from Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa in 2005, was the only way to save her from certain death.

The magazine asked Pitt why he and Jolie haven't chosen to adopt any American children who need a home.

Pitt told Parade, "I can't place the importance of one child over that of any other. I have seen children suffer far beyond what we experience in America -- like out oldest daughter [Zahara]." If she had not been adopted, Pitt said, "I know she would not be alive. I know what care was available to her and it was nil. I cannot imagine life without her."

Pitt told the magazine he doesn't see America as separate from countries they've adopted children from. "We've got to start looking at things differently," he said. "This mentality of 'Our team's better than yours' ... My kids don't see those diving lines, and I don't want to either."

Jolie adopted Zahara, who is now 6, when she was just six months old. She had lost her parents to AIDS, and it was not certain if she had the virus as well. Jolie told CNN in 2005 that there was a fear Zahara had HIV, but it was explained to her that in the United States, it wouldn't be a death sentence.

"Which is also saying to me, because she's in an area where she's poor, now she can live because she's not in an area where she can't access medicine," she explained, though Zahara did test HIV negative.

Zahara was a welcome addition to the family which included Maddox, now 10, who Jolie also adopted from Cambodia in 2002. Together with Pitt she adopted Pax, now 7, from Vietnam in 2007, and the couple had three biological children together: Shiloh, now 5, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

BRAD PITT APOLOGIZES FOR ANISTON COMMENTS

After years of keeping mum on the uglier details of their 2005 split, Brad Pitt finally opened up to Parade magazine with, what some would call, potentially hurtful words regarding his previous marriage to Jennifer Aniston. Pitt was quick to address the mess that came soonafter.

In the interview, Pitt seemingly criticized his five-year marriage to Aniston saying he felt un-interesting and "pathetic" during that time, stating his marriage "had something to do with it."

Almost immediately as excerpts of the article began to circulate, Brad released the following statement to address what he feels is a misunderstanding of his words.

"It grieves me that this was interpreted this way. Jen is an incredibly giving, loving, and hilarious woman who remains my friend. It is an important relationship I value greatly. The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was becoming dull to myself – and that, I am responsible for."

Brad Pitt: I felt pathetic while married to Jennifer Aniston

It’s been years since his split with Jennifer Aniston, but Brad Pitt is still talking about his ex-wife, this time calling his existence with her “pathetic.”

In an interview with Parade magazine, the “Moneyball” star says he is much happier now with the mother of his six children, Angelina Jolie.

HOT SHOTS: Jen Aniston.

“I spent the 90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started to feel pathetic,” he said. “It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage [to Aniston] had something to do with. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”

Ouch.

Pitt continued the interview by gushing about his life with Jolie, with whom he was rumored to have an affair before the demise of his marriage to Aniston.

“One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom,” he said. “She is such a great mom. Oh, man, I’m so happy to have her.”

HOT SHOTS: Angelina Jolie

Pitt added that he is very satisfied with his new life.

“I put much more emphasis on being a satisfied man,” he says of his life. “I’m satisfied with making true choices and finding the woman I love, Angie, and building a family that I love so much. A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss. That’s the trade-off. But I’ll take it all.”
