Brad Pitt was spotted out with four of his kids in Venice yesterday: Zahara, Maddox, Pax, and Shiloh (whom you can barely see waving in one of the thumbnails below). I bet it's nice for him to be able to spend time with them, especially with his parents in town, too.

Brad reportedly took the kids to a park before they boarded the boat to go home. Although you can't see it in the pictures, Brad was actually the one driving the boat while the kids took in the sights.

Here's one thing we know about the Jolie-Pitt kids: they will be extremely well-traveled by the time they're adults- lol.

Grandparents are the best, aren't they? Brad Pitt's parents are visiting Angelina Jolie, Brad, and the kids in Venice, and it looks like they're having a lot of fun!

Brad's parents took Shiloh and Pax out for some ice cream yesterday afternoon. I can see where handling all four kids at once may be intimidating (or maybe Zahara and Maddox just didn't want to go), but I'm sure it's great to spend time with the kids in smaller groups, too :)

Brad Pitt and his architect were snapped today visiting the Antolini Luigi warehouse in Sega di Cavaion, northern Italy, to purchase some marble and other stone for his home in France.

Brad stopped to pose for photos with fans before making his way into the warehouse. I'm surprised his dad isn't along. That's usually "guy shopping" - going to the home stores. LOL! His architect is probably amazed at how something as simple as shopping for materials is such a chaotic thing for Brad!

Before returning to work in Venice, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt apparently made time for some socializing during their UN trip to Bosnia.

They were spotted having dinner with a Bosnian family in a restaurant within a hotel in Gorazde city.

They even posed for pictures with the paparazzi. I wonder if this was a refugee family? Well, whether they are refugees or not, I bet that dinner is one they'll never forget :)

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were spotted taking some of their kids out on a speed boat to San Servolo Island, Italy, over the weekend.

It looks like they took the twins (Knox and Vivienne), Zahara, and Maddox. I wonder if Pax and Shiloh stayed home or somehow managed to avoid getting photographed? With all those kids, I can see it being difficult to take everyone out. It must be tough deciding who gets to go and who stays home.

Have you ever been to San Servolo Island? What did you think of it?

Ooh, all those big, scary animals!

According to The Evil Beet, the little Cruise-ster is set to star in Paper Wings, where he plays a twerpy little Bible salesman who is run out of town at the end of a pitchfork after getting caught out on the North 40 with a tender young steer not his own. OK, OK, I made that up, but it's still more believable than the role as written, a "rough and tumble rodeo champ who woos an up-and-coming country singing star". Rough and tumble? Woos? He must have been wearing that push-up corset again. He can do as many of his own stunts as he likes; he's no Scottish dogwalker or Billy Goat Pitt (Don't shave it off, Brad! It's mad sexy!). He probably has the hands of a princess. He's certainly no rough and tumble cowboy.

Tom's co-star for the film is rumored to be Reese Witherspoon. I guess she can pull off the role - she did win an Oscar for Walk The Line - but this is sure to be a test of her acting skills, pretending to be smitten with the likes of Cruise. She'll probably end up drinking on the job to get it done.

Brad Pitt finally opened up about why he grew a beard and why he still has it. It's not for a role or any other artistic purposes. Here's why he keeps the beard:

"It's boredom. No other reason than that," he told Britain's Sun.

Okay... that explanation doesn't make me feel any better.

I know it's wrong, but if I could just send Angelina Jolie one little message, it would be "You know where he sleeps..." LOL

Brad Pitt, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jane Goldman, Aaron Johnson and others all hit the red carpet for the UK premiere of 'Kick-Ass'. I thought maybe Brad had a small part in the film, but he's actually a producer on this one. :)

I noticed that Nicolas Cage was absent from the photos. I'm guessing he's off working - he has two movies that are showing they are currently filming, according to IMDB.

Have you seen the trailer? I put it under the cut, if you'd like to check it out. It's due out in U.S. theaters on April 16th.

It looks like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt enjoyed a family afternoon yesterday with three of their kids. They were spotted going out to lunch with Maddox, Shiloh, and Zahara. I wonder where Pax was?

I've noticed that most of the pictures we see of the family in Venice is of them getting in and out of the water taxis. Maybe they actually get some peace once they get to their destination?

I can't help myself, I have to admit: Brad's beard has NOT grown on me. What about you?
