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.”

Salt, a new spy thriller and has completely denied the claims of her retirement from acting.  Jolie, who has 6 children with Brad Pitt has also added, “I’m not making some retirement announcement.

The Road

A lot of anticipations are in the air and will continue to be there until the main event. With the delaying of the release of “The Soloist” in 2008, “The Road” has taken a deserving new entry in the Best Picture category of Oscar 2009. “Defiance” is lingering to hit the screens this year, a delay of which will chuck it from qualifying for the Best Picture race. The delaying of the release date of a couple of films is leading to shrinking of the potential contenders for the 2009 Academy Award in the Best Picture Category. “Doubt”, “Revolutionary Road” and “The Reader” will surely make their way to the forthcoming Academy Awards.

The Dark Knight

“The Dark Knight” seems like a strong contender and might bag a few awards in several categories including the Best Picture. There is a buzz that the film might get a nomination and win in the categories of - Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor.

For the films that have already hit the theaters this year, only a handful of films can be counted as good rivals. To name a few “W”, “Rachel Getting Married” and “ The Visitor” will not only give a good fight in the best picture category but will also bag a few more awards for unforgettable performances by Josh Brolin in “W”, Anne Hathaway in “ Rachel Getting Married” as well as “The Visitor”. “ In Bruges”, a dark comedy, has also marked a niche for an outstanding performance by Colin Farrell.

Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Some great films are awaiting release in the last two months of the year. “ The Wrestler”, which is scheduled to hit the theaters on 17th of December might earn Mickey Rourke a best actor nomination as might Sean Penn for “ Milk” and Frank Langella for playing the role of President Richard Nixon in “Frost/Nixon”. Brad Pitt might just earn his 2nd nomination only if “ The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” makes an impact on the views as much as it is hyped to.

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. The birth of their twins Know and Vivienne in Nice, France had garnered tremendous media attention worldwide.
