Brad Pitt: Wedding Engagement 'Made Sense'
Originally posted 05/22/2012 08:40AM
Angelina Jolie wasn't by his side to promote his new film at this year's Cannes Film Festival, but that didn't stop Brad Pitt from sharing details about his bride-to-be.
Their long-awaited engagement was "something that made sense," he told reporters Tuesday on the French Riviera as he helped promote his new gangster film, Killing Them Softly.
In response to rumors that the couple, who have been together since 2005, are tying the knot in August, Pitt, 48, added, "We have no date at all right now – there is no date. We're still hoping for marriage equality in the States before we [get married.].

Sacha Baron Cohen kicked off the tradition of Cannes publicity stunts Wednesday when he appeared as his latest alter ego to promote his new comedy, The Dictator. Cohen arrived atop his camel, Osama, bringing the iconic Croisette promenade to a standstill in the process.
Four-legged arrivals aside, this year's Cannes Film Festival promises to be one of the most star-studded in years with some of Hollywood's biggest names scheduled to appear. Bruce Willis and Bill Murray were also photographed Wednesday on the red carpet for Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, which opens the festival.
Others on the list of expected VIP attendees: The reigning king and queen of Cannes, Angelina Jolie and fiancé Brad Pitt (his new crime drama, Killing Them Softly premieres at the festival), though they may have some competition in the supercouple category this year.

The ring is about to rock the red carpet.
Engaged super-couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are set to attend the upcoming 65th annual Cannes Film Festival. The two-week festival kicks off May 16 on the French Riviera, where Pitt will be promoting his upcoming crime thriller Killing Them Softly.
The famed festival is a favorite destination for the pair: They have attended together every year for the past five years with the exception of 2010. While they always spark a flashbulb frenzy on the red carpet – this year more than ever, thanks to that engagement sparkler – in the past they have also made time for family activities and date nights.
As Jolie told PEOPLE in 2008, when she was promoting her Clint Eastwood drama The Changeling: "It's always a good time and there's always something silly that goes on. Cannes is fun."
Here's how to do Cannes the Jolie-Pitt way:

Nothing like enjoying a little theater in the West End while in London!
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie attended a recent matinee of Billy Elliot the Musical at the Victoria Palace Theatre, a source tells us, for themselves and several of their children. (The source could not confirm which of the Jolie-Pitt kids attended the show, though seven tickets were booked in total.)
The family, who recently visited the U.K.'s Legoland together, sat in the dress circle – not separated from the rest of the audience for the 2:30 p.m. performance. After the show, Brad and Angelina went backstage to meet Adam Vespermann, a Seattle-native, who played Billy. When it was time to go, they left via the stage door and also signed autographs for some fans who were assembled.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are not the proud new owners of a London mansion after all.
Despite a report in the Sun tabloid that the couple bought a $16 million mansion in Richmond, West London, a source close to the family tells PEOPLE that the news is not true.
The engaged couple previously rented the residence, called Whornes Place, last year, while Pitt was filming the zombie movie World War Z. The monthly rent was reportedly close to $50,000.

"The whole family came and appeared to have a really wonderful time," says the source. "Both Brad and Angelina were very hands on and relaxed, helping the children to operate the rides and have a good time. They seem very much in love, too, and a really happy family."

Is Angelina Jolie just protecting her delicate skin from the sun or trying to go incognito while vacationing in the Galápagos Islands?
The stunning Oscar-winning star is pictured covering up in a long black dress, sunglasses and a wide-brimmed black hat while taking a boat ride with her fiancé Brad Pitt in new pictures released Monday.
The couple, who last week jetted to the Galápagos Islands with their six kids – Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 5, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 3 – were pictured enjoying beach time with the family and taking a boat ride.
The family also spent their time exploring different islands on the 90-foot boat the Reina Silvia, as well as relaxing at their luxury oceanside villa.

Angelina Jolie Takes Break from Galápagos for UN Work
Originally posted 04/23/2012 11:25AM
After jetting to the Galápagos Islands last week after she and Brad Pitt announced their wedding engagement, Angelina Jolie resumed her humanitarian work, this time in her new role as a Special Envoy for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees.
Over the weekend, while their six children remained in the Galápagos, Jolie (whose former UNHCR title, for more than a decade, was goodwill ambassador) spent time with refugees by the San Miguel River, in Ecuador.
"Her work does go substantially beyond what we would typically see as being the normal role of a goodwill ambassador," Geneva-based UNHCR spokesperson Adrian Edwards told reporters late last week, noting that Special Envoys are unpaid positions.
