How much does it cost to have kids? Here’s what the Jolie-Pitt’s spent last year:

• $5 million on private jets
• $900,000 on nannies for each child
• $36,000 on food for the kiddies
• $1 million + on private tutors that travel with the family
• $63,000 on birthday parties
• $220,000 on private cars
• $153,000 on activities

OK, so just because you have 6 kids doesn’t mean you have to spend $5 mil on private jets, but it would still be expensive. Guess that’s why they’ve both gotta keep working. That and the fact that staying home with 6 kids all the time would probably drive anyone insane (hence the $90,000 fee for each of the nannies).

Stacey: First of all, I would like to know where these numbers came from…$900,000 for nannies for each child?  That doesn’t make any sense.  But I also don’t have any kids, so what the hell do I know?

Tanya: The numbers come from the Daily Mail. The nanny number is because they are looking for a new nanny and are said to pay $90,000 per nanny (not sure how 90,000 x 6 = $900,000 but I’ll just run with it). $90,000 to hang with the Jolie-Pitt’s sounds pretty awesome, but if you want to be a nanny you have to have a few qualifications:

They will also be required to travel between California, New Orleans and France, as well as other film locations around the world.

As well as a degree in education or child development, Brad and Angelina are demanding the nanny should speak at least two different languages, as well as the native tongues of their children.

Have you ever been to a birthday party where a bunch of kids are whacked out on sugar? I imagine that is what Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie’s house is like all the time. That right there is why you need nannies.

Here’s Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie taking all the kids to a candy store in New Orleans. Notice the giant bag of candy Brad is carrying? I bet that doesn’t get opened until they’re back home and away from the photographers.

Stacey: For some reason, I imagine this house hold being complete and total chaos at all times.  And that all of these kids are

The National Enquirer is usually good for a laugh and this week is no exception. Check this out:

Sandra Bullock is a lesbian.

Charlie Sheen is a zombie.

Angelina Jolie’s kids are going to kill each other.

These photos could look kinda crazy if you believed the headline, but we’ve seen these photos before. Celebitchy rounds up where they’re all from and how non-violent they are. Maddox is chewing his coat, Pax was excited for ice cream and Shiloh was headed to the toy store. Zahara is the only one you’d have to watch out for here and I don’t think she’d be violent – shifty and manipulative maybe, but not violent.

(side note: me saying that is about as factual as the National Enquirer store that they’re crazy violent. Go figure.)

Stacey: Ya, those kids look really violent.  Especially that Shiloh.  Mean looking, isn’t she?  *eye roll*

Although, I love the picture of Charlie Sheen.  It really sums him up well right now.

Awesome!! Last summer the hubby and I went on a road trip out to Vancouver Island and we did the zip lines in Sooke and Nanaimo and it was so much fun! As was the bungee jumping and the tree top obstacle course. One of the best times ever

Anyway, here’s Shiloh Jolie-Pitt doing the zip line in Budapest while her siblings stand around and watch? Not sure if they got to go too, but they’re not in any of the photos I’ve come across. Sucky for them, fun times for Shiloh.

Update: Found one of Pax doing the zip line too. Zahara? Nope. Maybe she’s too good for that. Also included one of Shiloh sucking her thumb so you can secretly judge the Jolie-Pitts’ questionable parenting (come on, don’t pretend you weren’t).

No fair!! I have to throw out my hand lotion and Shiloh can take a giant sword on the plane? Urgh. So not fair.

Stacey: Tanya, haven’t you learned anything from blogging in the last year and a half?  Celebrities are better than we are, silly.  They get preferential treatment because of that betterness.  Unfair to us?  Sure.  But they don’t care.

Ok, so I have already declared that I would like to be adopted by the Garner-Afflecks.  And if I were to be adopted by them there is one family I would for sure want to be friends with (besides the Smiths, of course).  And that would be the Jolie Pitts.  Not because of the parents though.  Because of the kids.  These kids look like they would be so much fun to hang out with!  Minus the smacking in the face, which is surely just brotherly love.

Seriously, each of them seem like they have so much personality.  Miss Zahara is my favorite but Pax’s little suit  with his news boy cap is killing me.  And look at little Maddox getting older!  Do you remember when Angie first adopted him?  And Shiloh looks so adorable in her “montenegro style“, whatever that means, strolling around with her hand in her pocket all chill.  So awesome!  I am sure hanging with them would be super chaotic with tons always going on.

Hey guys!  When I move in with my new family do you want to come to the park and play on the swings and the jungle gym with me?  Then maybe we can get some ice cream or something.  Let me know, ok?

Tanya: While these kids are the epitome of “cool kids” they also give me the vibe of exclusion. Like you’d approach them in the park and they’d stop playing, all stand in a line and be like “why do you think you can talk to us?” Stacey, if you end up being friends with the Jolie-Pitt kids can you please ask them to be nice to me?

I always thought it would be wiked awesome to adopt a little black kid with a big fro, but then a friend said to me “how would you even know where to start to take care of a fro?”. And she’s right. When it comes down to it I know absolutely nothing about the unique challenges that people with really curly hair face.

I guess Angelina Jolie has the same problem because Wyclef Jean has had to give her some advice on the issue:

“I remember my last conversation with her was probably about the baby’s [Zahara] hair and how it was rough,” he said. “Now they use [hair product] Carol’s Daughter for her.”

Angelina Jolie talking to Wyclef about what products to use for Z’s hair just seems really funny to me. I think Brad & Angie need to make friends with Jay-Z and Beyonce so Zahara can get some one-on-one hair tips from B, and while she’s at it Aunty B can help little Z bring out the Diva within.

Stacey: I don’t think that Brangelina and J and B would make good friends.  I don’t think the roll the same.  Brad and Ang seem pretty low maintenance and, well, J and B like to live the good life.

But when are J and B gonna have kids.  They would be so cute!  And could rap/sing like nobody’s business!

This was too cute not to post. Here’s Grandma & Grandpa Pitt out with the 4 oldest grandkids in Venice. Do you think being constantly followed by the paps would make things easier or harder? If the kids ran away it would all be documented, but that’s still a lot of kids to handle regardless.

And Pax holding grandpa’s hand? Awwww! Grandpas are the awesomest.

Stacey: This is a really cute picture.  Quite frankly I was concerned as I have only ever seen Brad’s parent’s with the twins.  I was starting to think they didn’t like the other kids.

Look at how big Shiloh is getting!  And I totally love Pax’s hair do!

The real Shiloh was not hanging out with Harlow, but is on set with her mom (Angelina Jolie) and her sister Zahara.

Stacey: Ok, I am going to judge.  How old is Miss Z?  She is too old to be sucking her thumb.

Amidst all the “Who is this child” business, we missed the action coming from the real star of the Jolie Pitt family…Miss Zahara herself!  This kid kills me!  Of any celeb baby I think I would want to baby sit Miss Z.  She has everything.  The looks, the sass, the attitude.  I think this kid would be fun to hang out with.

Tanya: Aaaaahhhhh! SOOOO cute!! Sorry Suri, Miss Z is the new top celebrity kid around these parts.
