Not only did we get some beautiful pictures of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on the red carpet at last night’s NOLA screening of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, we also get some great video footage of Brad and Angie too!

Thank you Sonja, for pointing these out to me! Pictures are wonderful, but I love seeing them move around and hearing them talk in video clips!

Brad Pitt and Ann Curry sat down yesterday in New Orleans to talk about Make It Right, New Orleans, and his life with Angelina Jolie and their children.

It was taped yesterday but aired this morning on the Today show. Here’s the six-minute segment:

Do you know what struck me right off the bat? They were talking about how there are already eight families living in completed homes while work continues on the rest. Brad was saying how great it was to know that some families were finally home for the holidays after so much time since Katrina - and then when Ann asked him if he had met these families, he started talking about them by name.

It may not sound like a huge deal but Hollywood is made out to be selfish in general, but here was Brad, knowing everyone’s name, their kids’ names, which house they live in… That’s someone who isn’t just throwing money at a problem but someone who is getting as completely involved as possible in every aspect of helping out people who have been waiting for years to come home.

Brad was reluctant to talk about his family at first but he opened up a bit, saying how amazing it is to have these six kids from all parts of the world who play and laugh and fight. He admitted that no, having six kids is not easy, but you get so much out of it.

More details of the Brad Pitt interview below the cut.

He also talked about adoption and what it’s like to love a child that isn’t biologically your own and he confessed that he had wondered about the same thing, whether it would be harder but Brad said that it’s an automatic thing, you just love them.

Ann made me laugh when she said she was annoyed with him because she thinks she’s okay with a camera, and then along comes Brad with a big photo shoot of Angie and the kids in W magazine. Brad explained that his reason for doing that was because you don’t often get to see the warm, natural side of Angelina in other shoots. I agree with that!

Brad flat-out said he hates the paparazzi, differentiating between the photographers who take photos at special red-carpet events and the ones who climb over walls to scream your kids’ names to snap money shots. He said he thinks there should be laws against allowing them to follow after kids with cameras.

Ann asked the question about marriage, saying that once a reporter asked Angelina if she would ever get married to Brad and she said to ask him. He laughed about that and said that if it becomes important to the kids they’ll see.

It’s a great interview, be sure to watch it all!

The NOLA screening of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button went on last night, and as always Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie looked amazing on the red carpet. While I’m a big fan of tuxes for super fancy events, I think Brad looks great in just a regular (though very nice!) suit. And Angelina! That dress was so beautiful and classy.

Here are some of my favorite photos of Brad and Angelina on the red carpet in New Orleans.

Seriously love the buttons up the back of her dress!

Keep reading for more Brad and Angie photos!

What do you think of Brad’s suit (sans hat!) and Angelina’s button dress?

Much to the delight of the folks in New Orleans, Brad Pitt did indeed hit the red carpet for his NOLA screening of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button with Angelina Jolie looking stunning by his side.

All the non-hat fans will be pleased to see that Brad looked very sexy in his suit and tie - without a single hat in sight!

Meanwhile, Angelina ditched the dark colors she’s been wearing lately to step out in a beautiful white dress with buttons up the back. Buttons for Benjamin Button?

They both looked gorgeous as always, and much to the disappointment of the tabloids, they looked completely happy to be there together.

Check out the gorgeous photos of Brad and Angelina on the NOLA red carpet over here and stay tuned for more photos of them here on PittWatch!

In the meantime, don’t forget that Brad will be on the Today show on Tuesday morning and then on Ellen on Wednesday!

Brad Pitt has been on so many covers in his life - reputable magazines and tabloids alike, including being on covers with the title of Sexiest Male. I’ve got to say though, he must be so proud of his latest cover. He’s on the cover of the new Architectural Digest thanks to his work on rebuilding New Orleans through Make It Right by creating sustainable and affordable green living for the residents of the Lower 9th Ward.

Inside, Brad says, “I couldn’t believe nothing was going on. […] I recalled the pictures of people on roofs, begging for help and I couldn’t believe that this was our America.”

I’m not sure how widely this magazine is available, but it’s the January 2009 issue and you can check major news stands for it if you’re curious in reading the full story. You can also see Brad Pitt on the cover of Architectural Digest over here. What with architecture being such a pride and passion for Brad, I’m so happy to see him on this magazine!

According to NOLA.com, tonight there will be a special invitation-only screening of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in New Orleans. The article is from Saturday, and they were still saying that it was uncertain as to whether Brad Pitt would be on the red carpet or not.

However, we now know that the Jolie-Pitt family is indeed back in New Orleans so it’s definitely possible. The arrivals are scheduled for 6 pm with a pre-party, then the screening at 7 pm. If it all wraps up by 10 pm, Brad could definitely still get enough sleep for his Today interview. I’ve heard that Ann Curry is supposed to go to New Orleans rather than Brad going to the studio, so he wouldn’t even have to try to catch a red-eye flight to fit it all in.

Thus, be sure to come back later to see if there are any red carpet pictures of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at the NOLA screening of Benjamin Button. If he’s in town I can’t see him skipping out on the event!

In Touch Weekly seems to have a radar zeroed in on Angelina Jolies ovulation and pregnancy status. They broke the news of Jolie’s second pregnancy with twins and they are standing firm that the actress is expecting another child in the new year.

Jolie and Pitt already parent three adopted children, Maddox, Pax and Zahara and three biological children, Shiloh and infant twins Vivienne and Knox.

Recently, Jolie has given several interviews about her desire to expand their family even further. And during the launch of DVD Kung Fu Panda last week, she was quoted as saying, ‘Anything could happen. We’re open to anything, we love kids and we’re having a great time. It’s chaos in our house, but it’s so much fun. We’ll definitely have more.‘

Brad Pitt is on Larry King Live on CNN tonight but if you can’t get CNN, don’t stay up that late, or missed it, I have some video clips of Brad on the show, talking again from New Orleans.

It seems that there should be a longer, full-sized or almost full-sized segment available, but these are all quite short. They’re still better than nothing though.

Larry King asks the tough question as to how Brad Pitt (and Angelina Jolie) balances the desire for privacy with the exposure that comes with his life.

More below the cut!

Brad’s reaction to American president-elect, Barack Obama

Larry King asks Brad for his thoughts on the horrible tragedy in Mumbai, India:

Brad jokes about how having so many kids is making him age fast:

Why are everyday people so interested in celebrities, Brad?

Thank you Randi for two of the videos that I missed!

Here’s the video clip of Brad Pitt on Ellen today, coming in from New Orleans.

It was his first time on the show, and it was so great to listen to him talk about New Orleans and Make It Right and to hear him get into the architecture of the houses they’re building in the Lower 9th Ward.

I particularly love when, at the 5-minute mark, Brad completely mis-hears Ellen (for the first time!) and gets all flustered and laughs. There’s also a cute moment where they talk about how to catch George Clooney to get him on the show and Brad gives the secret on how to get George’s attention - I won’t spoil it but it’s *hilarious*!

Enjoy the clip!

Brad Pitt is still doing the rounds for television appearances and today he will be appearing on Ellen at 4 pm to discuss Make It Right among other topics. It was already filmed - Brad did not appear live in studio with Ellen, but he appeared via satellite from New Orleans.

Part one of the interview was actually leaked and up on YouTube already, pretty fast considering it hasn’t officially aired yet. I watched it, and in the clip, Brad thanks Ellen for her hard work in helping raise $1.2 million for Make It Right, and he discusses the architecture behind the houses in the Lower 9th Ward. He also jokes about how he’s currently “squatting” on their land by filming the show’s segment there and Ellen teases him by saying she’s pretty sure no one minds that BRAD is there. Alas, the clips obviously weren’t meant to be released so soon since it hasn’t even aired yet, so they’ve already been taken down. As soon as something is back up, I’ll post the video.

Then, since there is no rest for the Jolie-Pitt family, later tonight Brad will appear on Larry King Live on CNN.
