Brad Pitt with his kids

Brad Pitt says he has become “impervious to poo, snot, urine and vomit”. The hunk actor felt his maturity was all because of his kids who gave him a hard time to prove his worth as a successful father. He said he had hardened and toughened as a human because he has lived his life with his beloved kids and handled them personally. He said his present status was unbreakable and adaptable to any situation.

The macho ‘Ocean’s Thirteen’ actor who raises six children with partner Angelina Jolie has revealed that his fatherhood has made him a toughened man and ensured that he copes with anything repugnant to smell,touch or sound.

He said: “I’m tough as nails. I’m impervious to poo, snot, urine, vomit. You can’t get me. You cannot break me down.”

Brad, 44, also revealed it was tough to handle his kids so he and Angelina do not take their brood shopping very often because it is such a struggle to get everyone organised.

He added to US TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey in an interview : “We don’t go to the mall. It’s like half-an-hour just to get everyone buckled in and make sure they’ve got their snacks, and Zahara has got a blanket and Shiloh’s got her silky…Angelina is militant about it. She’s right on top of it. Thank God, because I’m always forgetting something!”

Angelina had revealed that she could breastfeed her four-month-old twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline for the first three months and could not continue because she had to struggle feeding the babies simultaneously and sort and cope up with time management.

She said: “You think, ‘Ah, if anybody can do that, I can do that.’ There’s this football hold - it’s a lot harder than it looks in the books. I did that a few times. I would take turns. It just takes a long time.”

Tom Cruise Katie Holmes with Suri

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ daughter Suri has been named the World’s Most Powerful toddler. A new poll carried out by Forbes magazine has named two-year-old Suri as the most powerful. This means Tom Cruise’ adoring daughter is well ahead of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s brood of kids. The poll was done in order to search for the most influential child under the age of five.

Others who featured in the survey include David Banda, Madonna’s adopted kid with estranged husband Guy Ritchie, Victoria and David Beckham’s youngest son Cruz, and Britney Spears’ three year old son Sean Preston with ex Kevin Federline.

The top 10 is as follows:

1. Suri Cruise

2. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt

3. Zahara Jolie-Pitt

4. Pax Jolie-Pitt

5. Sam Alexis Woods (daughter of golf ace Tiger Woods)

6. Cruz Beckham

7. Matilda Rose Ledger (daughter of actress Michelle Williams and the late Heath Ledger)

8. David Banda

9. Sean Preston Federline

10. Sam Sheen (daughter of Charlie Sheen and ex-wife Denise Richards).

Katie Holmes has been busy celebrating her second year of marriage with husband Tom Cruise. She was seen quickly jetting home to Los Angeles after a recent performance in New York so that she could be with her husband and daughter who spreads her newly found happiness.

Holmes took off to the west coast after Sunday’s (16Nov08) matinee performance of her hit Broadway play - ‘All My Sons’.

Tom and Katie reportedly spent a quiet evening at their L.A. home on Monday (17Nov08) before the actress had to rush back for her regular Tuesday show.

Cruise and Holmes married on 18 November 2006 in a star-studded ceremony in Italy to the dismay of critics, skeptical their relationship was a mere publicity stunt. Critics had even presumed that their relationship would not go further and surely they would not ever be together making a family. But they had proven all of them wrong by staying together and even raising their Suri and only time will witness the couple’s growth as proud parents.

In an interview last year (07), Cruise talked about the lavish wedding, “As big as it was from the outside, it was a very personal experience and something obviously I’ll never forget.”

The pair was reportedly joined by their two-year-old daughter, Suri, and Cruise’s adopted children from his marriage to Nicole Kidman - Isabella, 15, and Connor, 13 to mark the event.

Until we receive any other speculations the valid Forbes list will definitely create a furore with Suri creating ripples all over.

Sharon Stone is believed to have ordered
her son,Roan to get botox treatment done because
of his smelly feet.

Sharon was termed as an overreacting mother to have given such a third party suggestion for her son since she is believed to have very little time to properly carry her basic parenting responsibilities.

The judge has said in In Superior Court papers, that Stone “simply refused” to take part in counseling measures unless her “schedule is accommodated and her demands are met.”The judge has further  elaborated on his statement,”Such conduct on the part of any parent … is unacceptable and does not serve the child’s best interest…”

Stone,50, has been fighting for her son’s custody for a long time since her divorce in 2004. Sharon had filed her request to allow her to move her son to Los Angeles. The botox treatment for Roan’s smelly feet was regarded as highly unacceptable, since the court papers suggest her incorrect belief of her son’s spinal illness and her suggestion of using Botox for foot odor.

For the moment court orders suggest Stone to be allowed visitation time with the child,which would also include weekends and other holidays.

The actress who had adopted Roan in 1997 along with her husband Phil Bronstein wanted her son to stay with her and move from his father Phil Bronstein’s home in San Francisco.According to the court papers, the father’s suggestion was upheld the simple and common sense approach of making sure Roan wore socks with his shoes and used foot deodorant corrected.”

Till then we have to go on with the present orders of the court, suggesting Sharon Stone to be an overreacting parent to have made such an attempt on the 8 year old’s health. Stone has been presumably termed unfit and unable to provide structure continuity and reliability that Roan needs and so dearly deserves and has been receiving when he is under his father,Bronstein’s,57, custody.

Angelina Jolie Brad Pitt Family

Were they so desperate to have babies that they went in for in-vitro fertilization for their twins? New reports according to Us Weekly suggest that Brangelina may have gone the artificial way since they were a little impatient to have kids as soon as they could.  According to medical experts the chances of having fraternal twins at a later age is less than 1 percent. So it was close to impossible for the 33 year old actress to concieve the twins naturally.

However with artificial aids the chances are increased to almost 25 percent. According to the rumors the couple went in for the expensive procedure which can cost upto an amount of $12, 000 for every single insemination. The reason why the power couple may have gone through the medical procedure was becaues they did not want to deal with the usual stress of trying to get pregnant. Both Jolie and Pitt have expressed their desire to have as many kids as possible increasing their brood to almost 10 or 12.  In an interview with Elle UK Angelina had stated that both of them wanted to raise their kids while they were still young.

Now here we go for another custody battle again. However there will be no battle this time…. for a change! Kevin and Britney are calling it quits already. They want to settle the issue as fast as possible and do things the way that’s best for the kids. The custody trial proceedings that are supposed to start from next month is headed for a settlement according to the lawyers of both parties.

Experts who are following the trial suggest that Britney should not go in for a trial if she is intelligent enough. She has the risk of losing what she has right now. If she is lucky she might get more time with her kids. The routine custody hearing that is scheduled for today will be attended by both who are parents to two and a half year old Preston and one and a half year old Jayden James. Things have been a little difficult for the pop star since she herself is under conservatorship. However there are chances of her winning some more time with her kids when her condition gets a little stable. She lost all visitation rights with her kids on February after she had locked herself up with one of them and refused to give them over. This incident resulted in her forced hospitalization at Cedars-Senai Medical Center and she had then been put on her father’s legal control. On the 31st of this month the court will decide whether to extend her conservatorship or not. The popstar has been gradually making some headway into what has remained of her career. With some new projects in line and a Madonna video that is to come out Britney is sure to make a comeback. However whether she would be successful or not remains to be seen.
