The tabloid buzz remains for Brangelina. Paparazzi cameras follow Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie wherever they go. Photographers snap away not only on the red carpet but in Central Park, they catch birthday parties for the kids from boats while the family celebrates on the beach and they are constantly snapped on movie sets.

But those movies are failing at the box office. Director Michael Winterbottom and his star actress Angelina just could not get butts in the seats to see "A Mighty Heart" and it was a very important film that told the harrowing tale about kidnapped and murdered Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl and his pregnant wife. Though the film received good reviews but no one wanted to watch.


Jolie and Pitt both contributed to the film. They pushed a ton of energy for an entire week promoting the thing but most people were more interested in Jolie's lawyers trying to strong arm the press by limiting access and forcing only "positive" stories on Jolie. Brangelina also didn't want any questions about their kids or any new and possible upcoming kids asked.

But as Brad Pitt tries now to promote a movie with a really long title about Jesse James that has already been shelved for over a year, he suddenly blurts out that the couple are ready for yet another kid. Is this to save the movie?


A cynic might say that they both seem to use these kids when the want publicity, but then ask for privacy when they tire of the paparazzi coverage. Reviews are mixed so far on the new Pitt film and "Babel" already showed that Pitt does not possess the star power to carry moviegoers to the theaters just because he is in a film.
