Look out, America! Brad and Angie are in the capital, running amok.

On Thursday, Angelina was spotted looking especially beautiful as she shot scenes for her new flick, Salt. It looks like they’ve given her a blonde look, or at least bleached her eyebrows, and it works really well on her. Then again, everything works really well on her.

Meanwhile, Brad Pitt met with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Rep. James Clyburn to discuss his Make It Right foundation, which helps build environmentally sustainable housing for low-income residents in New Orleans who lost their homes during Hurricane Katrina.

You can watch the press conference they held afterward here. Brad only speaks like ten words, but, still. He’s very sexy when he speaks them, and that’s what counts in this world.

I thought not.

Funny story: a long time ago, when this blog was in its first months of existence and didn’t have the swarms of frothing fans it has today (heh heh), I used to get a comparatively large amount of traffic from Asian countries from people searching for the phrase “brad beet.” I couldn’t for the life of me figure out who this Brad Beet person was until I realized that, in Asia, the way they pronounce Brad Pitt’s name sounds a lot like “Brad Beet,” and this video is a good example of that.

Angelina and Brad and their brood arrived in Japan today looking as beautiful as ever.  Do you think they will eventually disown Maddox for his rebellious ways as evidenced by him wearing, um, color?

“The publicity machine is out of control. It’s everything we didn’t sign up for.  There’s this whole other entity that you get sucked into. You have to go and sell your wares. It’s something I never made my peace with. Somehow you’re not supporting your film if you don’t get on a show and talk about your personal life. It has nothing to do with why I do this.”

Brad Pitt, causing me immense relief by not discussing Jennifer Aniston in any way, shape or form in a Newsweek interview.

I’ll add that when you look like Brad Pitt, yes, you have to sell your wares over and over and over again.  Naked; it’s a rule.

They forget to zip their fly!

Here’s The Unfortunate Case of Brad Pitt’s Fly at the the Benjamin Button premiere in Paris.

Here’s a first look at the home Brangelina will be renting on Long Island while she films Edwin A. Salt.

It’s a 48-acre waterfront estate named Sassafras in the Lloyd Neck harbor region of Long Island’s North Shore. The couple will be renting the property through mid-summer while Jolie shoots. The main house is 22,000 square feet, and the Tudor-inspired property has two helipads, a private dock, and an 11-bedroom staff house. The mansion has been on the market for an asking price of $60M.

An 11-bedroom staff house!

What could they possibly need all that space for?

What could anyone possibly need all that space for?

I could start a small university out of that building! Hell, we may as well just move the United Nations there!

I’m bothered by the fact that this look is eerily similar to her Critics Choice dress. It’s a similar cut and a similar color. What’s up with that?

And if Brad Pitt doesn’t have pink eye, he really shouldn’t be wearing those glasses on the red carpet.

Still: they’re the most beautiful people ever.
