Brad & Angelina

Superstar do-gooders Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie showed off their beautiful daughters, Shiloh and Zahara, during a walk through New Orleans' French Quarter on Friday afternoon.

Looks like son Maddox opted to hang with his visiting grandparents. The Pitts are said to be considering another adoption from Vietnam.

Angelina's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, passed away on Saturday after a long battle with ovarian cancer. She had been living at L'Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills.

The tragic news brought the supercouple back to Los Angeles after their relocation to New Orleans where Brad is shooting his latest film, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."

Clad in his tough-guy motorcycle gear, Pitt went face-to-face with every photographer stationed outside of his Hollywood Hills mansion yesterday, making a personal plea for privacy. He's got a flair for the dramatic.

While many of the shutterbugs were moved by his efforts, most seemed disinterested and continued to flash away at the star, begging the question -- will you please take off the helmet?!

Pitt caused a lightning storm of flashes as he came out of his Plan B offices in Beverly Hills late last night. Between his shouts of "You guys are unbelievable," Papa Pitt whipped out his camera and took a few shots of his own.

How much could Brad get for those pics?

Both mom and son wore gray, which matched the gray day (and the gray car). Apparently, Angie's got a thing for gray... she wore a battleship-colored dress to the Golden Globes.

But Maddox's smile was bright; who wouldn't like being picked up from school by a loving, movie star mom?

While the supercouple didn't show too many signs of affection throughout the telecast, once the cocktails were flowing, Brad planted a big wet one on Angie. Mama needs her some lovin'!

Although Brad lost out to Eddie Murphy for Best Supporting Actor, going home with Angelina is more than enough prize for any man.

It was pretty clear that Angelina Jolie would rather have her eye gouged out with rusty needles dipped in rubbing alcohol than talk with Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet at last night's Golden Globes.

In an interview with "EXTRA" correspondent Jon Kelley that airs tonight, Winfrey pats celebs like Brangelina and the Material Girl on the back for their adoption of non-caucasian children. "With somebody like Brad and Angelina, their family is a little United Nations," says Winfrey, who also believes the negative response to Madonna's adoption of a Malawian child was "craziness."

Will Oprah follow in Madge's footsteps and bring one of the schoolgirls home with her? That's a big "No, no no no," from O.

Sexy moms Jenny McCarthy, Angelina Jolie and Heidi Klum have all smashed the stereotypes when it comes to an after-birth body -- and we'd like to ogle the results.

Jennifer Aniston is finally getting rid of all her baggage this season, and no, we don't mean Vince Vaughn. After "The Break-Up" star bought two fold-over handbags by poppiecouture.com for herself, she had to make sure her closest buds had them too. Aniston spent over $3000 on ten handbags for her inner circle of gal pals. With her "Friends" salary gone, looks like Jen has become quite the bag lady.

The Jolie-Pitts are sure to have a clean Christmas this year, as Angie picked up two dozen sets of baby animal-shaped goat milk soaps from eZoetic.com. Each $14 set includes soaps in the shape of a dog, lion, fish and frog, and were developed especially for sensitive skin. Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh, you're not in the Third World anymore!

The trifecta of hotness; Matt Damon, George Clooney and Brad Pitt, are pulling heists again -- this time with a new recruit.

"Ocean's 13" finds the trio and their band of robbers teamed with nemesis Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia) to take on a new bad boy -- played by the one and only Al Pacino. Ellen Barkin fills the estrogen quota, replacing Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones as the film's leading lady.

Yippee! Angelina and Brad are back in America. Brangelina was caught in a rare PDA at the party for "The Good Shepard." Welcome back, gorgeous ones.

Britney's new spit-swapping partner has been added to the TMZ roster of Hyde celebrities. Get ready to see more of this multi-platinum record producer if he keeps locking lips with Brit.

The Weasel is really hurting for publicity, so much so, that according to the Odessa, Texas Police Department, video of him getting punched on stage was a fake. Poor Pauly... that's just sad.

Though speculation has been swirling that Angelina Jolie has another gorgeous bun in the oven, the stunning actress joked with Diane Sawyer that if it were true, "I shouldn't have been drinking wine last night." She added, "No, we're not. I'm on the pill." Probably a little TMI, Angelina.

She adds that the globetrotting supercouple will probably adopt a third child before having a second biological one.

Jolie also gushed over Brad saying, "He's just a really great partner, a great man." Yeah, easy on the eyes too.

Even though Angelina Jolie has made it clear that she's no fan of PDA, her actions tell another story. TMZ cameras caught Brangelina arriving hand-in-hand at the after party for "The Good Shepherd," and it looked like neither one wanted to let go. Also showing up for the all-star event were Matt Damon and Robert De Niro.

Later that night at Butter were rap mogul Jay-Z, Heiress Paris Hilton, Elisha Cuthbert, Val Kilmer and Tyson Beckford -- who looked pretty badass on his bike.

Meanwhile, on the left coast, Janice Dickinson and Orlando Jones showed some TMZ love at a Hollywood party for a new Ed Hardy clothing line. Also seen: John Salley and Eric Mabius of "Ugly Betty." Tony Rock (Chris' brother) saw our cameras at the party and said he knew it was time to go! The nerve!

The charitable megastars were photographed arriving at Robert DeNiro's New York home -- and they didn't seem any more pleased with the paparazzi than they were before they left for India.

Cheer up kids, we're glad you're back!

The superstud was spotted in a bald cap as on the set of his new film, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."

Pitt's new flick is currently filming in New Orleans, where Brad's been seen hanging out with the locals.

Hair or no hair ... still smokin'.
