Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie didn’t stick around Los Angeles for very long after the Oscars wrapped. With filming for Salt ready to go , the Jolie-Pitt family was back in New York in short order.

Despite the fact that she’ll be working hard on her spy flick, Angelina was able to join Brad while they took Maddox, Pax, Zahara, and Shiloh into New York City to see a production of “The Little Mermaid” on Broadway.

What a fun outing for the kids! I’d love to take my kids to see a fun Broadway children’s show - I hope they enjoyed it!

I love seeing photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on the red carpet when they’re posing, but sometimes my favorite moments are the real ones, the candid moments where you get to see them truly enjoying themselves without always having to be aware of the cameras around them. For instance, the photo above when Brad and Angelina, ever drawn to kids, went over to speak to Tanay Hermant Chheda, one of the younger stars of Slumdog Millionaire who had been flown from Mumbai to attend the Oscars. It’s such a great slice of their life.

On that note, since Brad and Angelina are currently - thankfully, for them! - off the radar and hopefully getting a bit of rest in this post-award season, before Angelina starts filming Salt, here are some of my favorite candid Brad and Angelina moments at this year’s Oscar awards.

Oh that look. Whew!

I wish I knew what was going on here, it’s hard to tell when this was during a 3+ hour award show, but whatever happened, Brad was clearly very happy about it! Possibly either one of his friends just won something or it was after The Curious Case of Benjamin Button won one of the technical awards.

For all the people who somehow keep saying that Brad and Angelina - Angie in particular - are never really happy when other people win something, I can only say, “huh?!” and offer up this photo where they are obviously cheering someone on:

And possibly my top fave, amid all the action and noise, Brad and Angelina score a private moment:

Wonder what he was whispering to her!

Whew. Is anyone else as tired as I am after last night’s Oscar awards? I love watching them but just once in my life I’d love to see them actually wrap up by 11 pm for a change!

Here’s a quick round-up of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at the Oscars last night!

Over at Style Crunch are the fashion notes - as usual, Brad dressed in a Tom Ford tux (and looked really sexy if I may add!) and Angie’s strapless dress was by Elie Saab, a designer that she’s worn before.

The tabloids were ready to pounce with Jennifer Aniston presenting the animation award, and I’m sure they’ll find something to twist around, but as far as I was concerned, the whole thing was practically a non-event. Brad and Angie looked gorgeous, Jennifer looked gorgeous, she delivered her lines well (loved when she said they didn’t know why they had let Jack Black out of the house), she smiled at Brad and Angelina, and they were both laughing at the jokes. There was zero drama, I’m sure the triangle fans are disappointed.

Speaking of things for tabloids to jump on, People.com has a video clip up that will probably get people up in arms. In it, they asked Brad and Angelina what the six kids were doing at home while they were out on the red carpet. Brad replied, “Throwing spaghetti against the wall”.

How much do you want to bet that this will fuel outrage, with folks saying that the kids are out of control? Too bad not everyone recognizes Brad’s sense of humor and that he was probably joking or exaggerating that maybe some of the kids weren’t fond of their dinner that night.

And as we all predicted, even though neither won a major award (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button did win several technical awards, as I figured it would), the night for Brad and Angelina was more about having a good time than anything else - Angie said, “I like to think of it more as a date. We’re very comfortable tonight and just happy to be out and it’s a nice night.”

Keep reading, I have some video clips of Brad and Angelina at the Oscars below the cut!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have arrived at the 81st Academy Awards, walking the red carpet in style! Brad is looking very sexy in his tuxedo - probably Tom Ford! He looks rested and happy, a little bit of time off served him well!

Angelina looks gorgeous in her black strapless gown. It’s not the splash of color so many fans were hoping for but it looks amazing on her, nice and fitted and flared in all the right places! She did add a slice of color with her vivid green earrings - and no signs of the rumored $20 million necklace, not that she needs it to sparkle on the red carpet!

Just for fun, since the Academy Awards are tomorrow night, I thought I’d share a video clip of Angelina Jolie’s Oscar acceptance speech when she won for Best Supporting Actress in 2000 for her role in Girl, Interrupted.

Naturally there will always be people who will have something snarky to say about Angelina and James but I loved her speech. She was so genuinely surprised by her win and she was so full of emotion for everyone that it was a wonderful, natural, real thank you speech.

I do apologize for one thing, the audio is not properly synched to the video and frankly that drives me a little nuts, but it was the only one I could find right now. Hopefully we’ll get to see her do another acceptance speech on Sunday night, but if not, at least we know she did win that year and it was definitely well-deserved!

Angelina Jolie was spotted late yesterday evening in New York City, leaving the lower west side building where she had been doing some camera test shots for Salt. It was obviously colder when she came out than it was earlier in the day because she was keeping warm in a North Face bubble coat.

No word yet on how much longer Angelina will be in New York with Zahara and Shiloh. The Oscars are on Sunday so hopefully she was flying back to Los Angeles today to rest up a bit, but on the other hand, Angie is a bit of an expert at looking fantastic on little sleep and a lot of jet lag.

Meanwhile, there are a few photos of Brad Pitt in Las Vegas with Maddox and Pax starting here.

Angelina Jolie’s visit to New York City isn’t just for pleasure. Although she had time to go shopping at Lee’s Art Shop with Zahara and Shiloh yesterday, this morning she was spotted arriving at a Manhattan rehearsal studio.

She had a copy of the New York Times in hand and her Salt script in her bag as she was heading inside for some camera test shots and possibly a brief read-through. It’s getting close to filming time for Angie, so things are starting to come together on the production side of things.

Angelina looks very comfortable in her all-black ensemble. Considering our current blizzard up here, I’m envious that the NYC streets are clear and neither Angie nor her bodyguard is wearing a coat!

I don’t know which is more exciting - the Oscars being mere days away, which means photos of Brad and Angelina on the red carpet again, or getting to (hopefully!) see some shots of Angelina on the set of Salt!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are doing a divide and conquer with the kids, making sure they all get some special outings. While Angelina has the older girls in New York City for sightseeing and art shopping, Brad Pitt took Maddox and Pax to Las Vegas for a little getaway.

According to People.com, Brad was spotted with Maddox and Pax at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Wednesday night. No word on what they’re doing out there, but I know there is a ton of stuff to do in Vegas with young kids - maybe they’re going to go see the sting rays at Mandalay Bay!

Either way, the kids are all sure to be having a blast with all the big girls together and all the big boys together as well. There was nothing clear as to where the babies are, but maybe Knox and Vivienne are with Brad’s mom and dad. The whole family will get together again shortly what with the Oscar Awards being just a few more days away.

You know what’s particularly impressive about this boys-only trip to Las Vegas? No pictures! The picture I included with this post is not from the current excursion, it’s from August 2007 when the family was in New York. People used an old photo as well. I checked every photo agency that I use and - so far at least - no one had any photos of Brad, Maddox, and Pax in Las Vegas. I am amazed that in a city as bustling as Vegas, they managed to be spotted but not photographed by any paparazzi. Wow!

I had thought that maybe Angelina Jolie was alone in New York City if she was just there for a quick assignment. However, she isn’t - because today Angelina was seen with Zahara and Shiloh, doing a bit of shopping at one of their favorite NYC stores, Lee’s Art Shop in the Midtown area.

I think that every time the family has ever been in New York for any length of time, they always hit up that store at least once. They must sell some fun stuff for the kids.

How adorable are these two big girls?! I can’t believe how much they’re growing and they both look so cute. Shiloh is looking more like Brad Pitt every time I see her and Zahara still has her no-nonsense attitude, I love it!

I wonder if it’s just Angelina and the big girls in the city. That would be a nice Mom and daughters getaway for them - Vivienne can join them too when she gets a little bit older!

Today is a busy, busy day for Angelina Jolie. First of all, Changeling is being released on DVD today, so if you’ve been waiting, you can go buy your copy now! I’ve got mine, I absolutely loved that movie. Also, if you’re short on funds, there’s a giveaway of one copy of the DVD over here if you’d like to enter to win!

Meanwhile, Angelina was spotted in New York City today, allegedly looking for an apartment for the family during some of the filming of Salt which will be starting up soon. I’m sure it’s a fairly whirlwind real estate search because she’ll be eager to get back to the West coast to see the family.
Update: More news is rolling in. It was assumed that she was looking for a family home but now word is that they’re actually looking for an apartment for Salt. This means that there’s still a good chance that they’re leasing a home in upstate New York.

Being back in New York brings some challenges because I remember how frequently they were swarmed by paparazzi the last time they were there. On the one hand, it was nice for us as fans to see so many photos of Brad, Angelina, and the kids, but on the other hand, it sure cuts down on their privacy.

And of course, we’re only days away from the Academy Awards so we have a lot to look forward to as well!
