Kids Making Money

Take this for what it is - a random report out of one of Britain’s tabloids, The Sun. The Sun claims that Brad Pitt’s parents, Jane and Bill, are planning on moving in with the Jolie-Pitts to help them raise their six kids. According to sources, Brad has arranged for his parents to move into a little cottage-like place on Brad and Angelina’s extensive French property. The idea behind the whole thing is that Brad is insisting that he and Angelina take some time off and just be in France for a while, for the kids. And Bill and Jane want to help, I guess, although I’m pretty sure that Bill and Jane have a pretty active life in Missouri already, so…?

THERE won’t be much chance for BRAD PITT and ANGELINA JOLIE to make any more nippers – his parents are moving in. The superstar couple are going to live in the South of France full-time – and Brad’s mum and dad, Jane and Bill Pitt, will be living there too.

Work has begun on a granny flat for them at the star couple’s £35million Chateau Miraval estate in Brignoles. The Pitt seniors will then move there from Springfield, Missouri, to help look after Brad and Ange’s six kids. Brad flew to the Chateau last week to oversee building work.

A source said: “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 annexe 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.”

As well as their daughter, SHILOH, four, and two-year-old twins KNOX and VIVIENNE, Brad and Ange have adopted sons MADDOX, nine, PAX, seven, and daughter ZAHARA, six.

The pair have always taken their brood with them as they jetted around the globe for work but all that is about to change now the kids are older. The source added: “They don’t want them dragged around the world any longer. Brad is traditional and wants them to put down roots and have friends and go to the same school, rather than constantly moving. The plan is both of them will do voiceover work in a recording studio in the chateau’s grounds. Other than that, they’ll pretty much retire from Hollywood for a while.”

Their pals JOHNNY DEPP, VANESSA PARADIS and their children LILY-ROSE and JACK live only 40 minutes away from the French bolt-hole. Johnny, who starred alongside Angelina in The Tourist, sold the idea of a simple French life to them while they filmed in Venice last year.

A source added: “Johnny said if they want a normal life they must leave LA. They all agree the time has come for them to focus on bringing up their family. They have plenty of money and they want to relax and enjoy it.”

They’ll be lucky with relationship kryptonite – the in-laws – there…

Well, it wouldn’t surprise me if Brad was overseeing renovations to that part of the chateau, because God knows the man loves his renovations. Maybe he even has his parents in mind for the little cottage-like thing. Or maybe that’s where Empress Zahara will plot her global domination. Every Empress needs her lair, and I would be more willing to buy that Brad was making renovations with Zahara in mind (he is her loyal minion). Unfortunately for this story, I don’t think Angelina and Brad are really taking nine months off any time soon - they both have a ton of films in various stages of preproduction.

I’m loathe to cover another Charlie Sheen story, but like getting out of bed when you have a raging hangover it has to be done. (I didn’t have more than a couple glasses of wine last night during the most boring Oscars ever, but Charlie makes me think of hangovers.) Anyway Charlie was on The Today Show this morning. Advance reports had him giving an “exclusive” to ABC and Good Morning America, but there was said to be drama over ABC not being allowed by the Academy to promote the interview during the Oscars, so maybe that led Charlie into the arms of the other major network besides his former employer, CBS. (Update: Charlie did ABC and GMA too, see below.) Charlie said a bunch of ridiculous, entitled, addict-type sh*t as he has during this entire hiatus from Two and A Half Men. He looked like an ashen skeleton with a weave on his head. If I saw him on the playground when my kid was there I would watch him like a hawk.

Charlie demanded a 50% raise to $3 million an episode, which confirms he was making $2 million an episode up until the show got canceled for the rest of the season. He made some comments about how he was overworked and underpaid and then said that he would own CBS or something. He may be “sober” and he may have passed a drug test from Radar, but his brain has some major holes in it obviously. US Weekly has a good recap that will help me avoid having to transcribe much of this:

In an interview that aired Monday, the embattled Two and a Half Men star, 45, sat down with the Today Show to slam CBS, show creator Chuck Lorre — and insist that he’s on the straight and narrow.

Asked if he’s clean. Sheen retorted, “Look at me. DUH.” The last time he did drugs? “Don’t remember. Don’t care. Drug tests don’t lie.”

The actor admits that he derailed a bit before the two-day bender in January that led him to the hospital. “I don’t know if I’d call it out of control, but the choices I was making weren’t leading to the choice I wanted. I woke up and thought, ‘you’re 45 years old with 5 kids. Let’s do something different.’ I got bored.”

Sheen stopped short of calling his at-home treatment “rehab.” “It was a crisis management center we labeled the Sober Valley Lodge,” the star quipped.

Speaking of his five kids — four of them under ten — Sheen said that he’s not ashamed of his behavior. “God no. Talk about an education!”

He urged his fans not to worry about his health. “I’ve always had a plan and executed it perfectly. Sometimes I overshoot the mark, whatever.” Bizarrely, he boasted of having “tiger blood” and “Adonis blood” to help him kick his addictions.

As for his continued rants against CBS and Chuck Lorre — who put the show on hiatus recently — he explained: “My passion is misinterpreted as anger…I don’t think people are ready for the message I’m delivering and delivering with a sense of violent love.”

That “violent love” came out again as Sheen blasted Chuck Lorre. “Clearly he didn’t bring gum for everyone,” he said, blasting Lorre’s “dictatorial laziness.”

“Come Wednesday morning,” he added, “they’re going to rename [the studio] Charlie Brothers and not Warner Brothers…At this point, it’s 3 million an episode, take it or leave it. Defeat is not an option.”

“If people think I’m insane or if they don’t think what I’m saying is true, I have no interest in their retarded opinions,” he retorted. “I’m going to live my life the way I want and I’m going to win every moment!”

[From US Weekly]

If Charlie would have just sat tight with his little harem and kept his mouth shut CBS and Chuck Lorre would probably be able to deal with him. Instead he’s trying to prove that he’s right and is making it obvious that he’s in no state to wipe his own ass nonetheless carry a major network comedy. He has no clue how he’s coming across and he’s asking for more money for a few hours acting than most of us will make in a lifetime of hard work. He thinks the world revolves around him. “it’s everyone else who is going to be begging me for their job back…. look what they put me through.” He also spouted some crap about how he’s a rock star and no one can process it. The few fans he had left are going to abandon him soon, and he’s going to have to sell off his cars, watches and house to pay for drugs and hookers.

Oh and Charlie claimed that Sean Penn and Colin Farrell stopped by his house to offer support. If that’s even true, they’re probably offering new jobs to Charlie’s “goddesses.”

Update: Charlie did ABC and Good Morning America too. Check out the coverage of that on DListed and the video is below. He seems even crazier if that’s even possible, he looks even worse and says he’s going to sue over getting shitcanned.
