There’s a lot of tabloid news about Brangelina today, excuses, excuses. This one’s cute though – Brad is acting like Mr. Mom in the Long Island suburbs while Angelina works on Salt. He drives the kids to school and hangs out at Shiloh’s preschool. The moms are having a little freak-out with all of the Brad Pitt sightings – a local source told OK! that the moms are now dressing up to drop off their kids, in the hopes of running into Brad. The sources says, “Brad drives the kids to school, so the moms have started dressing up to drop their kids off… They usually wear sweatpants, but now they’re all decked out.”
As for hanging with Shiloh at her preschool, Brad does that because apparently, Shiloh freaks out if Brad leaves her. The Long Island moms are also trolling the Dunkin Donuts where Brad was recently spotted with his two oldest boys. OK! has more:
Angelina Jolie better watch out! It looks like the mom of six has some competition in the New York suburb the Brangelina brood currently calls home.
As Angie, 33, shoots the spy thriller Salt in NYC, Brad Pitt, 45, has become a regular at the school gates… and a housewives’ favorite!
“Brad drives the kids to school, so the moms have started dressing up to drop their kids off,” a local tells OK!. “They usually wear sweatpants, but now they’re all decked out.”
The proud papa is also a fixture in 2-year-old Shiloh’s classes at her preschool near the family’s rented mansion on Long Island’s swanky North Shore. “He sits in the corner of the classroom because Shiloh starts to cry whenever he goes,” a source tells OK!.
“Shiloh won’t leave Brad’s side and holds onto him when he tries to get up. He wears his sunglasses and hat the whole time. The moms go crazy and whisper about him, but he hasn’t made any play dates.”
Those mothers should frequent the Oyster Bay, N.Y., Dunkin’ Donuts where a solo Brad bought coffee on April 8. But Angelina was firmly in the picture April 5 when they spent 30 minutes picking out a game, magazines and books with Maddox, 7, and Pax, 5, at Syosset’s Borders Books.
“Brad was sitting in the kids’ aisle with one the boys. When Angelina found him, Brad smiled and said, ‘Hi Mommy!’” an eyewitness tells OK!. “Angie took one kid and Brad took another and they walked around the store. They seemed like a normal family buying books.”

Some people will worry about Shiloh, I’m sure. But don’t a lot of kids go through that phase, where they don’t want to be separated from their parents? I did when I was really little, around Shiloh’s age. But what does it all mean? Probably that Shiloh has some minor adjustment and dependence issues, but nothing serious.
I love the idea of all of those mothers hanging out at the Dunkin Donuts and the school parking lot all decked out. If I knew there was a chance Brad Pitt would be at my Dunkin Donuts, I would totally put on my best sweatpants and flip-flops and hang out, waiting for an appearance.

Those pics of Shiloh are sooo funny. She was totally picking her boogers!
Normal developmental phase, (separation anxiety), however, I would once again question the continuous shuffle from one location to another. Children need a feeling of safety and security, familiarity helps.
(This could also be due to a missing mom).
Ned, we’re relying on you to explain to us the manifestations of the psychological impact that their parenting is having on Shiloh. Please provide the detailed analysis of how Shiloh is showing disturbing signs of…
Think I’ll wait to comment until our resident child psychologist (specialist area: the JP kids) has spoken. 😉
You gotta LOL at the yummy-mummies of Long Island. Could you imagine the conversation?
LIYM (long island yummy mummy): Oh mah GAWD it’s baw-baw-baw…
Brad: Um, hello, err, LIYM,ehhhhh
LIYM: giggle, giggle gigGLE, GIGGLE
Brad: Eh.. um… security?
As for Shiloh, in simpler times it was known by the reletively simple term known as being “clingy”. Now the poor child is being picked apart to a chorus of “tut tut – so tragic… of course MY child isn’t/will never be like that, because they are the fruit of my loins and all that I spew forth is utter perfection””
(then when she’s a teenager, her parents will barely ever see her because she’s “just out” with her friends – and the chattering classes will again chant “tut tut – so tragic… of course MY child isn’t/will never be like that, because they are the fruit of my loins and all that I spew forth is utter perfection”)
Mairead – you gotta laugh. It’s not just the best medicine, it’s the ONLY medicine here.
DD – I see we posted at exactly the same time. Great minds, eh! 🙂
I think they need to be more specific about which Oyster Bay Dunkin Donuts he was at…in my town there are three Dunkins within a 2 mile radius. And that doesn’t count the one inside the Home Depot.
^^ ROTFLMAO!!! Thanks DD and Geronimo you made my day.
So how about it Ned?
Well, that is a sweet story, especially the one with Brad and Shiloh.
Personally, I’d still show up in sweats.
But then again, I’m also not delusional enough to think I can compete with Ms. Jolie. I’m hot, but she’s sexiest woman of the year! (rofl)
As for the clingy business. 2 years old? Quite normal and I don’t know if it’s wise to be egging Ned on. LOL.
geronimo: very true 😉 I guess I’m not the only one who looks forward to a certain someone’s pseudo psychological insight.
Can I play Ned? I think that by picking her nose, Shiloh is indicating larger issues regarding her future… namely, that she will be a clingy gold-digger (because she’s “digging for gold” in her nose, get it?) much like her mother, Jennifer Garner, and Camila Alves.
I could really go for a donut.
haha kaiser I was just analyzing how Shiloh’s candid of her snot picking fits into the equation. Interesting. The question is what caused Shiloh to snot pick at that moment? I personally think it was a cry for help. By picking her nose in public she is showing signs of deep distress from being uprooted from her surroundings to go on an outing with her dad. It is a sign of neglect and it is her show of defiance that is the most disturbing aspect of it all.
btw – I just had a key lime donut… I know but I had a bad childhood that’s why I did it.
There are very few people that look that cute picking boogs.
Ah, yes, DD – Shiloh is trying “uproot” the boogs like she has been uprooted by her parents. Classic. We should start an armchair celebrity psychological practice together.
Her nose is her security blanket, the place she seeks comfort in at moments of anxiety – ie. it’s always there, it’s hers, no one can take it away from her – unlike her bed (donated to orphans), her dolls (snatched from her tiny fingers and donated to orphans), her clothes (ripped from her tiny body and donated to orphans *sob*)….sorry, too emotional to go on…. for the love of God, someone save this child from her feckless evil parents before it’s too late!!!
You all are HILARIOUS!!!!! :0)
I had pretty bad separation anxiety when I was Shiloh’s age. Actually I had it until much later, and I have no idea why, other than it might’ve had something to do with the fact that my mom was really late picking me up a few times. I ended up with an anxiety disorder that I still deal with.
It’s sweet that Brad is making sure Shiloh is comfortable, but he does need to leave sometimes. Part of having a secure attachment is being ok when a parent leaves, and being happy upon the parent’s return. She needs to learn that she’s fine without daddy for a while. One of her developmental stages (according to Erikson) is resolving the conflict of autonomy vs. shame and doubt. She can’t very well be autonomous and explore the world on her own if she constantly needs dad around.
omg geronimo that is too deep. I can’t… we have to do something.
Well on the other hand, that’s the price she has to pay, after all she is the chosen one.
😆 Ahahaha! I almost spit out my drink! Too bad Miss Zee isn’t in any of these photos, her facial expressions are such wonderful fodder!
I used pitch massive fits when my Dad left me at preschool too. Its natural.
Ugh, can y’all imagine the wannabe Dina Lohans’ trolling for Brad?!
Shiloh’s memoir will be called “My Boogs, Myself”
I didn’t have a doughnut today.
I blame the parents 😥
To: Kaiser, Mairead, geronimo, and DD, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the laugh, I laughed so hard my stomach hurts. Now that was great entertainment.
Somehow I’m not convinced that her actions as a 3 year old will be an indicator of home she turns out in life..
why are jennifer garner and camilla alves considered gold diggers?
garner had a career-sure she wasnt academy award material,but she was certainly supporting herself with Alias. I never understand why ppl act like she’s gold digging with affleck? they seemed like they got about the same amount of publicity before they met? as for Alves,she was a working model-not rich-but i dont think that’s her main focus. C’mon,MM was living in a trailer for god’s sake,a confirmed bachelor as well. I think she’s artistic,and i think MM was also attracted to her b/c she’s brasilian-you know,a bit different than american girls? i say this as an american girl.
brasilians are a bit more laid back,and comfortable with their bodies/sexuality. and MM has said that she was the first woman he’d met who would go climbing and camping and not need to take a shower every day.
anyway,surely there are gold diggers,but i dont think they are the best examples. and why Shiloh’s mother? she was already a huge star and had plenty of money before she met brad. how is she a gold digger,now?
Ummm…lrm…I think it was just a joke.
I have to say thank you to all the posters. This is the first time coming to this site that I have enjoyed reading every previous comment. You all were very funny. I too enjoyed the story. Glad the family seems to be having privacy. Maybe this will become another Home base for them. Not many pics, the kids are having a “normal life” and no pabs.. seems like a sweet deal. The people in the community seem to be respecting their privacy as well.. Really nice and sweet.
Bye..
Geronimo: not to forget the nose holds the central spot on the face and is thus a direct gateway to the mind. Shiloh picking her nose also means she is troubled and worked up about her deepest fears and most obscure thoughts (they keep her busy, she has her hands hmmm fingers full with them). She is suffering intensily and is seeking for an escape.
I believe this is her Alice in Wonderland’s tunnel.
I am so disappointed our dear Dr. Ned is OUT.
Kaiser: do you think anything particular about a nose having two holes? Maybe Shiloh picking one hole in particular means she is trying to “dig out” the parent she is missing. As others here would say : ZOMG, Angelina is being a terrible mom, just look at Shy-Shi picking her ZOMG LEFT hole !
Ha! You lot made me have a proper LOL at your comments.
I’m worried for ShiJoPitt (or ShiPittJo – whatever) – I hope she don’t lose that preshus boog cos that’s gonna give her some serious abandonment issues, fo’real, ZOMFG, that poor kid.
Very very funny everyone–thanks for the laughs!
Obviously the comments are jokes, but just to be clear these are old photos. I think they’re from the evening show BOTH parents took the older kids.
Isn’t that called Fishing for Luckies?
These Moms must be in awe of his “Hollywood” image because he’s not as hot as he use to be.
But with that aside, what exactly would be the point of trying to dress up in hopes of meeting him. He’s obviously in a committed relationship and they’re maybe hoping he’d look their way? Have some respect, LIYM.
I didn’t realize I was such an important part of the discussion.
As some of you noted, yes, moving a young child from one hotel room to a rented mansion constantly (sometimes when the language spoken at the place is different than English), couldn’t be too good.
I do think the bigger kids pick on her, especially Zahara, and she feels safe with Brad.
Her mother had already made it clear she resents her, and has her favorites (Maddox).
At least she has a normal father who cares about her.
My only 2 questions are why are they in Long Island if Angelina needs to be in the city every day?
That’s a very long drive, especially if she wants to look fresh.
The other question is how many more years are they going to claim Maddox is 7 years old?
Well, we have the official diagnosis from Ned the resident child psychologist, who has the AMAZING ability to read situations and personality through a photo. Shiloh picks her boogies because mommy hates her and her siblings pick on her. I guess that settles it.
Actually what you didnt see was the following photo of Shiloh eating the bogey. She merely picks her nose because mommy has her on a similar diet to herself and Shiloh is quite frankly hungry. Poor little thing.
Yes. Because you must be a psychologist to know that it’s not healthy to treat children like you treat “things”.
DD and Geronimo, your cosmos are aligned! Funny and amazing!
Ned, I want the crack you’re smoking SO. BAD. Plz tell me where you get it.
And I’m pretty sure the kids are in Long Island so the madness that happened in ’07 when they were in NYC doesn’t happen again. The kids can go to school without paparazzi taking pictures.
Well, I guess they will say Maddox is seven, until he turns eight, which is this August. This discussion is one of the more amusing ones about this family and it is also amazing that someone has so much knowledge of what is happening in this family and knows for sure that Zahara picks on her sister based upon another tabloid story, but of course, they always know what is happening.
Oh, and by the way, many people live on Long Island and commute to NYC, that is why they have the Long Island Railway and there are multiple highways for the same purpose. I am sure they can figure out how to get Anelina to work. Of course, right now, she is filming on Long Island, so it is not even that hard for her to stay fresh.
Actually I heard Angelina was staying at the Waldorf in Manhattan while she’s filming.
To #33: “What exactly would be the point of trying to dress up in hopes of meeting him? He’s obviously in a committed relationship.”
Well, Brad was in a committed relationship when he met Angelina. He’s switched partners before, maybe they’re hoping he’ll do it again. But they would probably be happy with a brief fling!
“Well, I guess they will say Maddox is seven, until he turns eight, which is this August.”
This made me laugh so hard, (I don’t know why) I almost peed myself.
Wish more articles about the Brange led to such lol comments.
Me too! I think it’s the extra special care May has taken to explain things simply and unambiguously to Ned. You can almost hear the sigh in her voice. 🙂
Also love the laughably sinister implications in Ned’s original disapproving comment about this – like Maddox is really 25 or something and the JPs are trying to pass him off as a child! 😮
Bellatrix – Exactly, you’re on to something. The “two nostrils, two parents” theory is at the root of all of this.
I love that Ned thinks the older kids are beating up Shiloh. Don’t these people know that all of J-P kids will eventually be serving Empress Zahara?
PJ
You heard it wrong. Jolie, Pitt and the kids used the Waldorf in Manhattan for a some days while she was filming in Manhatan.
After that Manhatan they all went to Long Island. Jolie is filming in a Studio in Bethpage. Ocasionally she has some filming in places around there, like Staten Island.
Jolie and Pitt have been seen in Bayville, Syosset, Oyster Bay… together, sometimes with the kids, having dinner, going to Borders… The kids are in a school at Oyster Bay.
hasn’t it come out yet that ange is a lezbot & was just a surrogate.
brad can’t keep hiding for ever. making all around an accessory.
the real mother will not allow this to go on & her aunty kim is just a call away from happy lawyers.
hit it dame elizabeth taylor oh yep the call will be that big.
as for the above theories.
she picks her nose on camera ‘cos that’s what her father tells her to do.
the truth is rarely deep or complicated.
I’d heard these kids were home schooled by private tutors.
Not criticizing, just wondering whether it’s a matter of trying to incorporate social skills or an indication they’re there for a good while. I can understand popping in & out of preschool to some degree but that approach is difficult the further along they are.
Do they usually attend actual schools in their travels or is this something new?
WOW: Seriously! Brad Pitt in a committed relationship? Isn’t that what he was in when he was married to Jennifer Aniston and banging Angie on the side. I don’t think committment is so important to him. Now he’s all worried about which orphan baby to adopt and if his baby’s momma is out trolling on the set some more. Don’t get me wrong they are super hot together and do great charity work, but Angie is a homewrecking weirdo and Brad is well…completely beautiful, but a cheater. If I were in the area I’d totally wear a good push-up bra and see if I could get a glance! Makes me want a doughnut.
michellle
It’s known they they use both, private tutors and school.
Right now the kids are at school.
Why won’t everyone leave her alone? She’s just a toddler picking her nose. Shiloh could be clinging to her Dad for various reasons: development, the ‘constant’ up-rooting, people taking pictures of her, the other mothers or children might not like her and or vice versa, and (or) so on. I went through a clinging phase. Right now, I’m 15 and can say I needed it. I’m also glad I did. Every child needs some sense of security. Her Dad is hers. As for her boogers… let her be. I didn’t eat mine, but… No words for that. lol
Excuse me but why the over-analysis of Shiloh’s nose??? ALL kids tend to pick their nose. Have you ever seen one that didn’t? If you have then that tot has a problem! It’s natural just like how they tend to put everything in their mouths when they are babies. And why all the concern for her? There are other kids in this family too. I’m sure the constant moving around has no effect on her growth or we would have a very high psychological problem with all the military brats (like myself) that was born into a lifestyle of moving around the globe. This is no different.
Hahahahahaha… you guys are killing me!
I recommend a nice cup of SARCASM for some posters tomorrow morning.
Remember to take a chill pill before you go to bed….geez!
Oh, Shiloh. You poor thing. I hope they learn how to parent her!
