Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie selling Californian mansion

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are selling their Californian mansion for $13.75 million.

The Hollywood couple - who have six children, Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne - have decided to put the sprawling property, which has views of the Pacific Ocean, up for sale after making huge renovations to it.

The home is split in two, and despite the huge asking price it only has four bedrooms and four bathrooms.

It also features a swimming pool, a tennis court, expansive gardens and a walk in fridge and freezer.

The couple added an extra floor to the house designed by Christopher R. Sorenson and created a heated lap pool in recent years.

It is one of a number of homes owned by the pair - who are currently in Scotland while Brad shoots zombie movie World War Z - with a town house in the French Quarter of New Orleans and an estate in the Valpolicella region of Northern Italy also in their portfolio.

Brad purchase the 1962-built property after his split from Jennifer Aniston in 2005, and briefly put it up for sale in 2009 for $18 million, but it failed to sell.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie to get married?

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly getting married.

Three separate sources have confirmed that the couple will exchange vows within the next few months, according to Us Weekly.

However, the magazine writes that the nuptials will not be an extravagant affair.

"[The wedding] would be intimate and informal," said an insider.

One potential location for the ceremony is the couple's newly-renovated Chateau Miraval in Correns, France, which features a 16th-century chapel.

In May, Pitt revealed that he is considering marrying Jolie as the pair's six children have said that they would like them to wed.

The two actors have said in the past that they would not wed until everyone, whether gay or straight, could marry.

Pitt recently praised the decision to pass New York's Marriage Equality Act, saying that he hopes the rest of the US chooses to follow suit in the future.

Neither Pitt nor Jolie's reps have responded to comment on the marriage claims.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie 'want £90k nanny'

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie reportedly plan to pay £90,000 a year for a nanny.

The couple, who raise six children together, allegedly have very specific requirements for a full-time carer for their kids.

Pitt and Jolie are said to be looking for a nanny who has a degree in education or child development and speaks at least two languages, as well as the native tongues of their children.

An insider told The Sun: "It's a coveted position. Brad and Angelina's requirements are justified - they only want the best for their kids. The pay packet and lifestyle make it a pretty amazing deal.

"Not only have Brad and Angelina got to be able to trust the nanny completely with the kids but the new carer must also respect the family's privacy."

Pitt's parents Bill and Jane recently moved into the family's Chateau Miraval estate in France to help the couple raise their large brood.

A source commented: "The whole family is going to move there as soon as the renovations are done. At the moment they have six nannies - one for each of the kids - and the plan is to get rid of the helpers and rely on Bill and Jane.

"The annex they will live in is an old building which used to be used as a dovecote. It's big enough to have a sitting room, kitchen and a couple of bedrooms. It will make a lovely little cottage for them."

Recent rumours have suggested that the pair are planning to adopt another child.

Brad Pitt’s Women rank first and second in “Beauty Icon of the Decade” Poll

Brad Pitt must be the happiest man in the world since his current wife Angelina Jolie and ex-wife Jennifer Aniston hold the two top positions on the “Beauty Icon of the Decade” Poll conducted by Superdrug.

Top 20 beauty icons of the decade


1.Angelina Jolie  2.Jennifer Aniston  3.Kylie Minogue  4.Catherine Zeta Jones  5.Cheryl Cole
6.Scarlett Johansson  7.Keira Knightly  8.Beyonce Knowles  9.Liv Tyler  10.Halle Berry
11.Kate Winslet  12.Myleene Klass  13.Kelly Brook  14.Nigella Lawson  15.Kate Beckinsale
16.Megan Fox  17.Eva Longoria  18.Joanna Lumley  19.Holly Willoughby  20.Charlize Theron

According to a recent piece in the Telegraph, a new poll acknowledges all that and names Angelina Beauty Icon of the Decade. Angelina Jolie is a beautiful woman, even if her beauty is what many call “unconventional.” However, what the actress has brought new to the table is an attitude that made her stand apart from all the other women in showbiz, thus building for herself a larger than life persona that continues to fascinate fans and even get them into bitter disputes.
The poll, conducted by Superdrug, included answers from 3,000 respondents, the majority of them also saying that it’s Jolie’s “strong character” that entitles her to the distinction. Jennifer Aniston, ironically enough, Brad Pitt’s ex before becoming an item with Jolie, comes in second, followed by Kylie Minogue, Catherine Zeta Jones and Cheryl Cole. Still, it’s diversity of all kinds that makes this poll different from others of its kind, Steve Jebson, commercial director for Superdrug, notes for The Telegraph.
“Angelina Jolie is not a conventional beauty but her strong character shines through her fabulous features to give her a unique standing in the beauty world. It’s worth noting that while everyone talks about Angelina’s pout we find that its her long thick lustrous hair that really makes British women envious, as well as a figure made for red carpet posturing,” Jebson explains.

“This is the third time we have run an annual poll to find the face of the year, with previous winners including Cheryl Cole and Keira Knightley. This year to celebrate the new decade we decided to look past the face du jour and see who has really struck a beauty chord. But the message from our stores for 2010 is you don’t have to be a film star or celebrity to be a beauty icon,” a spokesperson for Superdrug adds.
Beyonce, Liv Tyler, Megan Fox, Kate Beckinsale, Joanna Lumley, Halle Berry, Myleene Klass and, of course, Scarlett Johansson have also been voted as gorgeous women who have shaped this decade in terms of beauty trends.

Pitt is wonderful father

Angelina Jolie has called longterm partner Brad Pitt a "wonderful father".

Speaking to The AP, the Salt star said that Pitt often brought their children to the movie's set to visit their mother.

"He was just a wonderful father," Jolie commented.

She added of the children's visits to the set: "They played with fake blood, and they found mummy very strange in her different hair."

The star credited Pitt with helping to keep their large family happy.

"Brad is the word that makes it possible," she said.

The Hollywood couple recently accepted undisclosed damages over a privacy claim against a UK tabloid that reported that they were splitting up.

Oil Spill Star?

He’s always had a huge place in his heart for New Orleans, and now that the Big Easy is threatened by the BP Oil Spill, Brad Pitt may be working on a film about the disaster.

The “Fight Club” stud has been rumored to be talking with film execs about a possible project, though the tragedy is still without a stand-out hero.

In addition, Pitt has his eye on the forthcoming sequel to the massively successful “Sherlock Holmes” film.

Despite the fact that director Guy Ritchie seems set on casting Daniel Day Lewis in the role of Professor Moriarty, Brad thinks he’d be a good pick for the part.
