Over the weekend, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie loaded their kids into a Chevy Suburban and drove to McDonalds. They went through the drive-thru and ordered a bajillion Happy Meals. According to US Weekly, “Pitt drove the Chevrolet Suburban, while Jolie sat shotgun (the kids stayed in the back). Bodyguards blocked the drive-thru — and anyone getting close to the family’s vehicle — as the Jolie-Pitt clan waited in line for about five minutes before they were handed their bags of food.” I swear, only the Jolie-Pitts could turn a McDonald’s excursion into a massive, international, headline-making jaunt. Every media outlet covered it! It was so weird.
Anyway, after the McDonald’s visit, many thought Angelina would be making the trip to Germany with Brad for the premiere of Inglourious Basterds. After months of rumors about how they’re splitting, or how they’re having all of these problems, I thought that they’d use the Basterds premiere stuff to temporarily end the rumors. Not so much, as it turns out. As far as I can tell, Angelina and the kids are staying home in LA for Brad’s German jaunt. At this point, I’m not even sure they even care what’s written about them.
These are new photos of the Basterds photo call in Germany. Brad, Quentin Tarantino and the cast of Basterds all posed, and all of them look like they had a rough flight, don‘t they? I can’t say that I’m loving Brad’s v-neck white t-shirt. Of course, I’m wearing one that’s quite similar right now. Is that what’s in style now? I didn’t know. It just makes Brad look like he forgot to put something over his undershirt, doesn’t it? However, I’m still loving his salt-and-pepper goatee, that thing is pretty sexy.
This might be just nit-picking, but doesn’t Brad look like he has an eye infection or something? I swear, his left eye looks a puffy and swollen, like mine get when I’ve been wearing my contacts too long.
In one final piece of Brad Pitt news, he just bought himself another bike. It’s “a heavily customised chrome bike… sporting a metal seat” and it was just delivered to his LA home today. See these Daily Mail pics – the bike looks wicked!

Going to Cannes didn’t stop the rumors so I don’t see why this premiere would have. I’m sure all of the haters will be screaming it’s over which doesn’t make sense to me. Besides, it’s for one night. Angelina just flew from Iraq. I doubt she would want to go on another long flight.
He is soooooo drinking beer & vodka like it’s going out of style.
jolie and pitt will be together forever. people need to let them live their lives. I bet they don’t care what is written about them either. they should do another mr and mrs smith movie. love it that jolie cares about children. at least you don’t see her hang around starbucks or beaches for attention. she knows how to use her fame for the right publicity. like these two together and wish them all the best.
dude that’s a cruiser. you are not outrunning paps on that bike
*YAWN*
Lemme see now… isn’t this a replay of Toronto last September?
Brad went to Toronto sans Angelina to push CCOBB (or was it Burn After Reading?) and the haters went apeshit: “YAY! HE’S LEAVING ANGIE! HE’S MEETING JENNIFER IN TORONTO! HE’S GOING BACK TO JENNIFER!”
So what happened? Brad pushed his film in Toronto, hightailed it outa there before Aniston even set foot in the place, and jetted back across the Atlantic to Angie and the kids.
I agree with Kaiser: at this point, I think he and Angie don’t give a tin fart what the haters or the tabloids say about them. They’re going to hate on Brad and Angie no matter what. But just as an aside — if Brad was about to leave Angie and the kids, I don’t think he would have had that new bike delivered their home in Los Angeles. Go figure.
Oh my. Diane is a fox.
he looks so old and tired.
I love Brad! But he looks really bad here. I want him to shave the graying goatee. Either that, or stop dying his hair! The facial hair not matching his head is driving me crazy!
Diane is so tall. Why does she go for such high heels, when she is towering over all the cast?
Anyhoo, “Bodyguards blocked the drive-thru”.
Did they bring their own bodyguards with them?
Did they call in advance and notified McDonald’s people?
Wouldn’t it just easier to call for a delivery or have the regular staff members that do the shopping for all the kids and the nannies and assistants and cleaning people and drivers have some junk food over for the kids?
Yes. I get it that they want to be seen as together and down to earth, but why do the people going to McDonald have to suffer and being blocked by bodyguards?
He looks tired because he is tired. Damn the man just got off a what 10 hour flight.. Get a grip.. Brad is doing great. and he is not without Angelina. I’m sure he carries her in his heart (ok. a bit much). But the man is working..will do his thing then go back home to his family.. Just like all the other actors who travel without their partners.. Johnny Depp was here without Vanessa and kids, no sceams of a break up.. same with Hugh Jackman and Tom Cruise, Denzel Washington, and countless other.. but of course if Brad and Angie are not together 24/7 then of course they and ONLY they are breaking up.. Just too funny..
Hate to burst your bubble -this is kind of like taking candy from a baby. But – um People magazine, CNN, Huffington Post, Access TV, Yahoo Entertainment news and many more did not post on the “trip” to McDonalds. In fact there less then 80 stories on google. Compare that to Jon Gosselin and his date made almost 600 stories. I am not sure what you are trying to prove by the trying to make this look like an international incident – weird. Are you trying to convince yourself or others?
zorraahh: 99% of hollywood couples dont last, what makes you so certain saint angelina and king brad will?
