In another show of support for Angie, Brad declined an invitation to the Oct. 31 Grand Prix Ball Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates -- and the $5 million payday that came with it. Instead he opted to stay in LA to trick-or-treat (dressed as DJ Lance Rock from the children's show Yo Gabba Gabba!) with Angelina and the kids on Oct. 31.

"He's spending more time with the family and doing less of these appearances, even though it's a huge sum of cash," says an insider. James Magee, a rep for Global Event Management, confirms that Brad was expected at the affair. "We were told he would be attending as the guest of the Tourism Development & Investment Company," Magee tells Life & Style.

"But he was a no-show, and nobody seemed to know why." The ball, which helped raise money for the clean-water charity Fresh2o, was the culmination of a three-day event celebrating Formula One racing. Festivities (left) featured performances by superstars such as Beyoncé, Aerosmith and Timbaland.

Some big news broke for movie junkies on Nov. 4: Johnny Depp is in talks to join Angelina Jolie in the sexy spy thriller The Tourist. It will be the first time the duo have ever worked together. But the news was even more surprising because it completely contradicted a promise Angelina had made just weeks earlier. In an interview in the October issue of the British magazine Stylist, she said she intended to take a break from acting in part to focus on being a full-time mom to her six young children with Brad Pitt. "Maybe a film a year or every other year, and then I'll phase things out."

Instead, she signed on for The Tourist, and she's also in talks to play a femme fatale in the fashion-dynasty drama Gucci. Of course, Angelina's entitled to change her mind -- but this marks the third time she's publicly proclaimed her intent to take time off to care for her children. Each time, she signs up for a new movie soon after, leaving Brad to do single-dad duty while she hits the movie set.

After Brad Pitt bumped into another vehicle while riding one of his motorcycles in LA on Oct. 24, the star's biggest concern wasn't the damaged bike or the scratches on the other car -- it was how angry his partner, Angelina Jolie, would be when she found out about the accident. After the incident, Brad sought refuge in a nearby apartment complex. "He told the building manager that Angie was going to kill him because she thinks motorcycles are too dangerous," building resident Talia Schwartz reveals to Life & Style.

The mishap occurred when Brad tried to squeeze his custom-made bike between two cars that were stopped in traffic. "He misjudged the space between the cars, and it was just a hair too small to fit his bike," an eyewitness tells Life & Style.

During her recent United Nations trip to Syria to meet with refugee families, Angelina Jolie let a secret slip about how overwhelming her own kids can be. Faced with a mother embarrassed that her five children were out of control, U.N. rep Dalia Al-Achi tells Life & Style, "Angelina told the mom that her children are even naughtier!"
Raising six kids under the age of 9 is a difficult task, and Angie herself admits that life is
"absolute chaos at times." Which makes her statements in a new interview all the more shocking: For the first time, she's confirmed that she and Brad Pitt, 45, plan to adopt again -- and have another biological child.

"I can see further additions to the family -- both adopted and our own," Angelina, 34, tells the British magazine Stylist in its October issue.
Brad and Angie plan to add two more children, if not more, to their family, confirms an insider close to the couple. "They want one more biological baby and an adopted baby -- for now," the insider says. "But who knows what the future holds. Some people get addicted to drugs and alcohol, but Brad and Angie are addicted to children."

Why the need to adopt again? Angelina's work as a Goodwill Ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees exposes her to children mired in poverty and war worldwide, and she's motivated by a noble impulse to help. In Syria, the U.N.'s Al-Achi tells Life & Style, "Angelina and Brad both took time to play around with the children they visited." But their desperate desire to save needy kids comes at the expense of the six they already have.

"Rescuing children out of third world countries is wonderful, but it's very stressful each time another person who has his or her own needs and demands and who's also competing for attention and love is brought into a family," says psycho therapist Jenn Berman, author of The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy, Confident Kids.

And Angelina clearly realizes that she's being stretched too thin. "We have to make sure we can devote enough time to each of them," she tells Stylist, referring to Maddox, 8, Pax, 5, Zahara, 4, Shiloh, 3, and 15-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne. "There's always one of ours demanding that I help color in something very important with crayons."

Since their twins were born on July 12, 2008, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have carefully kept them hidden away. After a brief appearance at a Tokyo airport in January, Knox and Vivienne practically disappeared from sight.
Until now. For only the second time ever, Brad and Angelina let the twins, now 15 months old, be photographed out in public. But rather than taking them to a quaint shop near their home in Brignoles, France, they made the surprising decision to take them on a trip to the Middle East, where Angie was meeting with Iraqi refugees as part of her work with the United Nations.
On Oct. 2, the foursome stopped into Licky Licious ice cream shop in Amman, Jordan. "Brad tried almost all the flavors," co-owner Ihab Fakhouri tells Life & Style. "Angelina tried a couple and chose mango. Brad chose pecan with vanilla and caramel. They gave some to the twins as well! They were really well-behaved, happy babies."

Can Shi and Z say fromage? Because cheese was definitely on the shopping list when Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and their big girls -- Zahara, 4, and Shiloh, 3 -- hit the Jardin de Brignoles Market in Brignoles, France, on Sept. 22. "They seemed just like a normal family out buying groceries," an eyewitness tells Life & Style. "Everyone was so happy and carefree. They bought fresh sausage, cheese, Pringles and fruit, and the two little girls were snacking on dates as they wandered through the aisles." The Jolie-Pitt clan, who are nestled in their $60 million chateau, are picking up the language too. "Angelina tried to speak a little French to the store manager," says the eyewitness. "Brad also likes trying out his French and said hello to someone outside the market."

For years, Jennifer Aniston has spoken openly of her longing to be a mom. When reports emerged that the reason for her divorce from Brad Pitt was that she wasn't ready to start a family, she angrily insisted it wasn't true. And after playing a mother in 2008's Marley & Me, she said she couldn't wait for the real thing. "I feel like that's in my future and I'm on the verge of it in some way," she said.

But now she's gone further than ever before. On Access Hollywood on Sept. 15, Billy Bush brought up Jen's next movie, 2010's The Baster, in which the star plays a woman who opts for artificial insemination to have a baby. Asked whether that's in the cards for her, Jen didn't hold back: "I'm ready for anything -- bring it on!" she responded.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have barely had time to breathe this summer. In June, Angie, 34, finished an exhausting shoot of the action movie Salt. Then she jetted off to Jordan and to visit refugees in war-torn Iraq. Brad, 45, then started his whirlwind pub­licity tour for Inglourious Basterds.

At last they're taking a much-needed vacation. But rather than relax at a resort, they're devoting themselves to their six children, giving them some precious (and rare) time with Mommy and Daddy. On Aug. 15, the family flew to France to stay at its 1,000-acre estate, Château Miraval. There they tried to put reports of relationship problems to rest. Says an onlooker who saw them over the next few days, "They were very happy."

The children attending the Okanimekwa school in Namibia have never seen an Angelina Jolie movie or read about her and Brad Pitt in magazines. Yet they're certain how they feel about the star. "She's a very special person, and we'll never forget her," 16-year-old student Emiliana Shikongo tells Life & Style. "She must be a holy person," adds another student, Andreas Kristofelius, 17. "I think Angelina Jolie must be a saint."

The reason for their adoration? Angelina changed the lives of the 589 children at the school -- along with thousands of other Namibians -- after giving birth to daughter Shiloh in the African nation in 2006. When Angie and Brad sold Shiloh's baby pictures, they said that the proceeds, a reported $4 million, would go to help children in Africa and other parts of the world.

Angelina Jolie is famous for her candor in interviews, whether talking about her bisexuality or noting that being pregnant was "great for the sex life" and "makes you a lot more creative."

Brad Pitt, by contrast, keeps his personal life private. But when it came time to do an interview for the Aug. 9 issue of Parade magazine, he certainly didn't hold back. Taking reporter Dotson Rader on a tour of his West Los Angeles home -- much of which the star designed himself -- Brad paused by a hidden stone grotto. This, he confided, is "a great place for sex."On a more romantic note, when told he seems happy, the actor smiled and noted, "I have love in my life, a soul mate -- absolutely."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's twins, who celebrated their first birthday on July 12, have reached a major milestone.

"The twins are great. They're walking," Angelina told Life & Style at last night's LA premiere of Brad's new movie, Inglorious Basterds.

Angelina, who wore a sexy black leather dress and was smiling from ear to ear as she walked the red carpet alongside Brad, couldn't help but brag about her beautiful children. "I hope to get all of my kids involved [in humanitarian efforts]. I hope to raise them properly so that they have a good conscience, and they're good people."

And what about expanding the Jolie-Pitt clan? "Angelina laughed off questions about whether she planned to have more children," says Life & Style's reporter.

Brad Pitt is one of Hollywood's top leading men, but at the Green Day concert in New Orleans on Aug. 7, he worried about his sons' hearing just like any other dad! Concertgoer Charlie Dunn gave Life & Style the details:

"Brad was so nice. He chatted with those of us who were sitting close to him and his sons before the show started. He'd gotten the boys, Maddox and Pax, some pictures and things of the band, and they were very excited. He mentioned that this was a birthday gift for Maddox, that he was a huge Green Day fan."

"Both boys had [hearing-protective] headphones but kept pulling them off, and Brad would tap them on the head, and they'd slide them back on," Charlie says. At one point, Charlie adds, Maddox took his off and hung them around his shoulders and Brad tapped him and mouthed "Your mother will kill me," and Mad laughed at him and put them back on.

Other than music, Brad is still passionate about his charity work in Louisiana. "I was talking to Brad about the progress [of his project] in New Orleans. It's a great thing," Charlie says. "He told me that he had spent the afternoon working on the Make It Right site. When I asked him how much time they'd be spending in New Orleans, he told me they were leaving first thing in the morning. He said he had a date he couldn't miss the next night."

Sure enough, on Saturday night Brad was spotted on a date with Angelina Jolie at Vincenti Ristorante in Los Angeles.

Taking your kid to the pediatrician isn't exactly a fun day out. But families waiting to see Dr. Brenda Bass at her LA office on July 16 got a special surprise: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie showed up -- with their elusive 1-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne! "I was just leaving the office as Brad and Angelina and the kids turned up," an eyewitness tells Life & Style. "Brad was wrangling the other kids, while Angie was carrying both twins. Angie told the receptionist they were there for the twins' one-year checkup."

The sighting was especially notable because the twins have been spotted out in public only one time since their birth in Nice, France, on July 12, 2008. As Life & Style has reported, the twins have both had digestive problems, and Vivienne has allergies, so Brad and Angie have kept them sheltered and indoors. On the day of the doctor's visit, "Angelina was holding the twins pretty tightly," the witness says, "but they looked like regular little babies."

Nearly everywhere Angie and Brad have gone, their four oldest children -- Maddox, Pax and the boys' sisters, Zahara, 4, and Shiloh, 2 -- have been seen with them. Noticeably absent, however, have been the couple's two youngest kids, twins Vivienne and Knox, who'll turn 1 on July 12. In fact, the twins have been spotted in public only once since January: when they were rushed through an airport near Tokyo while being closely guarded by their parents. Since then, they've remained in hiding -- leading to speculation that something could be wrong.

Now Life & Style has learned that Brad and Angelina have been seriously concerned about the twins' health. The babies are suffering from serious digestive problems, says an insider close to the family. "They're both hypersensitive," the insider tells Life & Style. "Knox has trouble holding down his food. He spits up nearly every meal." Vivienne, meanwhile, has food and environmental allergies, explains the insider: "Right now, she's on a lactose and gluten-free diet, and she's still underweight."

Angelina, 34, and Brad, 45, have been so worried, they've had the twins undergo genetic testing and have been adamant about keeping them behind closed doors. In truth, the real reason Brad and Angelina have been reluctant to take the twins out has to do with their own fears, says the insider. "Because of their delicate state, Knox and Vivienne need to be kept away from anything they could possibly be allergic to," the insider explains. "That's a lot easier to do when they're home and in a controlled environment."

Talk about a home run. Brad Pitt's new flick calls for the hunky actor to bare all in a steamy shower scene! Life & Style has exclusively obtained a script for Moneyball, a drama about the Oakland A's baseball team's triumphant 2002 season. Brad, 45, stars as the team's general manager, Billy Beane. But the highlight comes off the field: During one dramatic moment, Brad strips down to his birthday suit in the locker-room shower in an effort to calm down.

Angelina Jolie celebrated her 34th birthday on June 4. But while she should have been relaxing with beau Brad Pitt and their six kids, she was instead being forced to watch her back. Just days earlier, Hollywood producer Dan Lin announced that he was planning a new installment of Angie's Tomb Raider series, which turned the actress into a star and has grossed a whopping $431 million worldwide. But he doesn't seem to be considering Angie for the lead this time around -- because, he confessed, she's simply too old.

"It's a great origin story that we're going to tell," said Lin, who recently produced Terminator Salvation. "So it's a younger Lara Croft." Anyone in particular in mind for the lead role? Transformers star Megan Fox, he noted, was a "no-brainer."

No wonder: Megan, a dark-haired beauty with full lips and an edgy reputation, has often been compared to Angelina. But Angie isn't flattered by the comparison -- or the suggestion that Megan, 23, may be ready to replace her. "Angie is not thrilled about turning 34, to put it mildly," says a friend. "In fact, she's panicking a little. She feels that her age is starting to undercut her choice of film roles -- and it annoys her that Megan Fox is being touted as the 'new Angelina.'"

Brad Pitt was surrounded by fans and fellow stars after the Cannes Film Festival premiere of his movie Inglourious Basterds. But his focus at the May 20 afterparty was on people who weren't there: his six young children. "I have the most beautiful family," Brad told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper. "What else can a guy want?"

A seventh child, apparently! Noting that he and Angelina Jolie are "lucky...to have children from around the world," Brad blurted, "They're all fantastic, and we'd love another. Who knows, maybe we'll have one in London."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been everywhere from California to New York and France in the past month, but Brad's next movie will keep him at home in LA!

Brad will begin shooting Moneyball in California in June, Steve Elzer, a representative for the movie, confirms to Life & Style. Meanwhile, Angelina is still filming Salt in New York.

Moneyball centers on the major-league's Oakland A's and their general manager Billy Beane (played by Brad) who attempts to draft players to the team using computer-generated analysis.

For most busy couples, a few days in France at the Cannes Film Festival would be an ideal chance to rekindle some romance. But when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie showed up at the post-premiere party for his new movie, Inglourious Basterds, on May 20, onlookers could feel the tension between them. "They came in around 10:30 p.m. and left at midnight," says a witness at Le Bâoli, the beachside club where the bash was held. "But at one point, they got into an argument because she wanted to leave and he wanted to stay. I think he wanted to hang out with everyone, dance a bit more and enjoy himself. But Angie looked tired and just wanted to get out of there."

But their bickering at a public party -- on a night when they were supposed to be celebrating Brad's new movie -- seems to point to a larger problem. After months of juggling filming and trying to be a mother to six young kids, "Angelina is nearly at her breaking point," says an insider.

Since early March, Angelina Jolie has been hard at work shooting the spy thriller Salt around New York. While she's been riding motorcycles and scaling buildings, partner Brad Pitt has had an even tougher job -- taking care of their six kids. And according to multiple reports, the duo's relationship has been strained to the breaking point as a result.

In other words, they could both use a vacation. But when Angelina, 33, finishes shooting Salt at the end of May, Brad, 45, is going right to work on his next movie, the baseball drama Moneyball -- leaving Angie to take over as full-time parent to Maddox, 7, Pax, 5, Zahara, 4, Shiloh, 2, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 10 months. "Brad's dying to get back to work," says an insider close to the couple. "But he's going to be away from the kids for extended periods of time. On the other hand, Angie gets tons of time to bond with the children -- but very little time with their father."
