Brad & Angelina

Brad Pitt dropped off son Maddox at a school in Prague yesterday morning. We're guessing it went down something like this:

Teacher: "What did you bring for Show and Tell today, Maddox?"

Maddox: "Brad Pitt."

Teacher: "You get an A++!"

The law demands that Jolie publish information about the little guy's name change for four consecutive weeks -- in any publication -- so that anyone wishing to legitimately contest the the name change has the proper information to do so.

Sneaky Angelina chose the Daily Commerce, a small legal journal with a circulation of about 800. Fortunately, one of those readers is a TMZ fan! The posting, which has already been published three times, will run one final time in Friday's edition.

Jolie's next court hearing is scheduled for May 31, when Pax is expected to officially become a Jolie-Pitt.

*cue violins*

Brad, who seems to have this beige fedora glued to his head, and Angelina, all smiles despite reports that their relationship is on the rocks -- sat at this corner table, romantically recuperating from jet lag.

Try the polévka!

Brad, wearing a sporty fedora, carried baby Pax from the private jet. Ange and the rest of the brood wearily followed.

Angelina is in Prague for at least a month to make the action thriller, "Wanted," with Morgan Freeman and James McAvoy.

The smiling Oscar winner, sans brood, caused paparazzi pandemonium by waving to the crowd, signing autographs and allowing one lucky fan to actually hug her. That's rarer than winning the lottery!

The reason for Jolie's pleasant demeanor -- the event was a screening of "A Place in Time," a documentary she helped direct. The case of the jolly Jolie has been solved!

The crusading superstar was in Washington to plead for more US funding for orphans and other children around the globe, and to open the headquarters of Global Action for Children, to which she and Brad have already given a million bucks.

Angelina Jolie has filed a petition in L.A. County Superior Court to change the name of her latest adopted child from Pax Thien Jolie to Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt.

In papers filed April 16 and obtained today by TMZ, Angelina -- the sole adoptive parent of Pax -- is requesting the change so it will reflect the last name of her partner, Brad Pitt, and so it is the same as that of her other three children.

Angelina adopted the three-and-a-half-year-old little boy from an orphanage in Vietnam last March.

Did Brad Pitt really start telling a random stranger that having the media dissect all the "rubbish" about his life is "hell," and call Angelina Jolie "Supergirl," all while sitting alone drinking a beer at a Hollywood hotel bar?

An article in Monday's Daily Mail (UK) by Michael Jackson biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli, entitled "Is it the end of Brad and Angelina" has folks buzzing, because, in it, Pitt whines that all the attention is "hell" and pleads for the media to stop picking on Angelina. Problem is, Pitt's rep tells TMZ, the "interview" never happened. For one thing, Pitt wouldn't use a Brit-ism like "rubbish," and he certainly would never call Angelina "Supergirl." What's more, even if he were at the Roosevelt Hotel's restaurant, he wouldn't be there hanging out at the bar, boozing by himself.

TMZ repeatedly tried to contact Taraborrelli, but he didn't respond to our requests to tell his side of the tale.

The tot gazes at paparazzi with the same curiousness seen on faces of children at a zoo.

Pax's sister Zahara seems to enjoy the attention a little more than the rest of the family.

Daddy and daughter were spotted at 31 Flavors in the L.A. suburb of Los Feliz. While Angie stayed in the car, Zahara and Brad, in a snappy porkpie hat, were left to pick just one flavor all by themselves.

The tabs have been reporting that Brad and Angie hit the skids ... but their family outing seems to put that rumor in the deep freeze.

Sources tell TMZ that Pitt's Plan B production company is interested in turning James Scurlock's critically acclaimed documentary expose of America's obsession with credit card debt, "Maxed Out," into a feature film with a big Hollywood cast, in the vein of "Fast Food Nation." A well-placed TMZ source says that a Plan B rep contacted Scurlock's agent expressing how Pitt really enjoyed the docu's companion book, 'Maxed Out: Hard Times, Easy Credit and the Era of Predatory Lenders.'

TMZ has learned that shortly after Plan B's call, Scurlock's reps were contacted by DiCaprio's production shingle, Appian Way Productions, who revealed the same interest in the documentary. Hunky see, hunky do!

We're told neither production company has finalized any deals for the film's rights, but it could turn into Pitt's biggest brawl since "Troy."

"Maxed Out" is playing in select cities now.

A rep for DiCaprio told TMZ, "This story is bull. It sounds like someone is creating a bidding war to try and make a buck."

A rep for Plan B could not be reached.

In between Angie saving the world and Tori opening a Bed and Breakfast, both ladies recently picked up Hammitt's $600 Suzy leather diaper bag. No Babies "R" Us for these mamacitas! StyleChic's Aly Scott tells TMZ that Angelina got hers in Oscar-winning black, while Tori opted for one in a more reality show appropriate hue.

And once diaper-changing days are over for these hot mamas, the plush pouch doubles as a stylish travel duffel. Which will be perfect for all of Angelina's Third World jaunts and Tori's trips to day spas in the 90210!

TMZ is dedicated to bringing you the latest poop.

The two jilted actresses have been spotted around town a lot lately and share this in common: Both saw their men run off with gorgeous Oscar-winner/Goodwill Ambassador, Angelia Jolie. Girls, interrupted!

Although you may have heard that Brad Pitt allegedly hooked up with Jolie before after breaking up with Aniston, in 2000, Dern was reportedly still dating Billy Bob Thornton when he suddenly married Angie. Snap! Dern has since had two children with her husband, singer Ben Harper, while Jen is single and childless.

At least she has her friends!

It's been reported that Jolie and companion Brad Pitt will be adopting a Vietnam-born boy to join their international brood. Their other children are Zahara, from Ethiopia, and Shiloh Nouvel, born in Namibia.

The tot-adoptin' activists were snapped strolling with daughters Zahara and Shiloh after popping into one of N'awlins' great bakeries.

Their next trip will likely be to Vietnam, where they're said to be in the process of adopting another child.
