Brad & Angelina on Being World Travelers
January 26th, 2009 / Author: OK! Staff
Here’s a tip for Hollywood studios wishing to save some money on international shipments — just hand them off to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. From L.A. to Berlin to NYC to Tokyo, there’s a good chance they’ll be heading there soon.
In fact, the pair — and their six children — are jetting off to Japan Monday morning, only hours after Brad and Angie put in appearances at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night.
"Our kids are always packing," Angelina told Entertainment Tonight about globetrotting with six young children. "They like to pack; it’s a game in our house."
However, all that back and forth across time zones can wreak havoc with a family’s daily routine. "It can get very hard trying to find 20 minutes to close your eyes if you’ve been up since four in the morning," revealed Angie. But rather than trying to use sleep to make up for all the time differences they experience, she says, "We travel so much, we never have to adjust. We change school time to four in the afternoon in we have to!"
Meanwhile, both Brad and Angelina, who were still attempting in vain to hide her pregnancy this time last year, agree that it’s been a wonderful time for them since.
"We have two healthy little babies," says Angelina. "That’s made this the best year."
Jokes Brad: "At some point, we’ll sit down and take inventory!"
Tom Cruise Thanks Berlin
January 20th, 2009
Tom Cruise is in Berlin, Germany, to promote his latest film Valkyrie, where he shared his thoughts about shooting in the famous city.
"I think it’s the most challenging film I’ve ever made," the 46-year-old star said during a photocall for Valkyrie at the Hotel de Rome in Berlin on Tuesday. "The whole time, we carried a huge burden of the responsibility of the history [and wanted] to represent the spirit of the resistance and history in the most accurate way and also deliver a piece of entertainment. We felt very privileged to have that opportunity to shoot there!"

Special Report: Brad & Angelina in Berlin
October 1st, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff
With an Oct. 1 premiere for his comedy Burn After Reading in Berlin and an Oct. 4 premiere for her drama Changeling in NYC, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are back to their globe-trotting ways — but only temporarily. The couple and their brood have happily settled into their new digs outside Berlin.
Angie and Brad, along with Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox, moved to the city’s southern Wannsee Lake neighborhood and are now ensconced in the Palais Parkschloss (Castle in the Park), a 12,000-square-foot villa set amid fairy-tale gardens overlooking the yacht-filled waters of the Wannsee.

The family is expected to stay three months while Brad shoots Quentin Tarantino’s World War II thriller Inglorious Bastards in Berlin and several other German and French locations.

“[We] are thrilled that they are nearby,’’ Brigitta Schmidt, 55, who lives down the street, tells OK!. “Normally the most exciting thing we see in Wannsee are roaming wild boars, but this is more exciting!”
The sexiest man alive and his trademark fedora were on display at Al Contadino Sotto Le Stelle on Sept. 24, where Quentin hosted a party for members of the Inglorious
Bastards cast.
“Brad really loved the Parma ham, mushrooms with cheese and eggplant antipasti,’’ restaurant owner Mimmo Bianco tells OK!. “It was a family atmosphere among the actors, and the thing you feel about Brad is what a warm, generous heart he has, how he just wants to be part of the gang.’’
Brad has similarly impressed his cast mates at rehearsals. “He brought Maddox to the set, and they were holding hands,’’ one co-star tells OK!. “They were cool dudes together.’’

Suri’s Day With the Grandparents
September 21st, 2007
Even though her parents are world-famous superstars Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, little Suri Cruise still occasionally likes to enjoy the company of some more mature folks; the kind who don’t jump up and down on Oprah’s couch.
Earlier today, the adorable 16-month-old went for a stroll through Berlin’s Tiergarten park with Katie’s parents, Martin and Kathleen. The trio stopped at a playground, where little Suri enjoyed herself immensely.
"Martin and Kathleen obviously adore that child," one onlooker tells OK!. "How could they not? She looks just like Katie did when she was a baby!"
The TomKat crew have been living in Berlin for several weeks, where Tom is filming the WWII film Rubicon (formerly called Valkyrie). In addition to having several floors of their hotel renovated to suit their familial needs, Tom has been known to shut down production on the set in order to have some private playtime with his daughter.
