Angelina Jolie was spotted out yesterday, both dropping off and picking up Maddox at the Lycée Français de New York school. Fittingly, the Beowulf babe wore different ensembles for each appearance.

It was recently reported that Ang and her man, Brad Pitt, have decided to move into an apartment in the Waldorf Astoria hotel towers, where they’ve been staying as of late. According to the New York Post, the power couple are paying $100,000 per month for their 6000 square-foot luxury pad.

I recently started receiving Esquire magazine! (There were air miles to be disposed of, so why not?) And so one came the other week and I sat down and read it. Not sure which issue it was, I think the new one, they all look alike—as in, I just looked at every cover this year and I can’t identify which one I read from either word or pictures (what with their covers being a weird corporate last echo of Ray Gun). It was okay! Slightly irritating was that the whole magazine was one long listicle, with “bits” crammed into every corner of every page. The winky hetero-laddishness was a little irksome too, but I know I’m not their target subscriber, not being a credit-card loving, manscaping, overcoat-buying fathead, so I can brush that off. But then yesterday the magazine went and did themselves so wrong. They republished the classic 1966 Gay Talese piece “Frank Sinatra Has A Cold” online.

Ageist metaphor alert! You know how you see some adorable fun old man limping along, perhaps clad in an eccentric robe, maybe headed for the beach? And then later you go over for tea and in his house are all these stunning pictures of a really hot guy and you’re like, OH, same person? That’s what republishing “Frank Sinatra Has A Cold” is like. (In this tortured bad metaphor, Esquire is the old dude, obvs.)

Now, we all say that no one would publish “Frank Sinatra Has A Cold” today, even though Esquire named it in 2003 as the best story they’ve ever published. Maybe that’s true, maybe it’s not. Probably it’s not that they wouldn’t publish it, it’s that they wouldn’t wait for it to be delivered during the endless and expensive write-around period.

And boy oh boy does it ever make the charticle age of the magazine look terrible.

Ron Rosenbaum has already addressed the dreck that is the current Esquire celebrity profile. So what’s enraging about this Talese reprint is that the Esquire of now is pretending to be the Esquire that was then.

Pimping the glory days is awkward. It’s even more degrading that pieces like this are their Free Quality Web Content. Need to fill up your website? Head to the morgue! It’s too bad they don’t have $250K to make a stand-alone web editorial unit and invest in a couple of experienced editors to work with young writers on stories that may (or may not!) make a splash. Guess the bottom line is too tight.

And guess we’ll be seeing magazines and newspapers cough up their archives more and more on their websites. The New York Observer has been reprinting “Sex And The City” for the last couple years—but in that case too the reprint sometimes mocks the paper of the day.

Just make sure, if you go over to Esquire, that you don’t click on the link for “more from this author,” because there isn’t any more to be had.

When it’s time to buy a new house, there’s a high level of excitement in the air.  And for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, that excitement led to renting a helicopter just to have a look at a potential pad.

The “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” stars are in search of a new home in the South of France in which to raise their four kids.  And they spared no expense when it came to surveying a property suggested to them by their realtor.

When you’re the hottest actor/actress combo in Hollywood, the pressure is on to be everything to everyone.  But apparently Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolile aren’t seeing eye to eye on how to make things work.

By virtue of their careers, Ang and Brad are constantly traveling.  And having four kids to consider in the midst of grueling schedules only complicates the matter.

It happens all the time.  Someone gets a new significant other, and pretty soon their priorities expand to include those of their sweetie.  But Brad Pitt is speaking out against claims that his charity interests are the result of Angelina’s influence.

However, the notion that the Fight Club star took interest in humanitarian projects after becoming romantically involved with Jolie isn’t all that unbelievable.  It’s only been recently that we’ve been hearing about Pitt’s passion for the less fortunate.

Sometimes it’s nice to hear about celebrities doing something awesome. It gets kind of tiring hearing about the custody battles, drug addictions and whatnot. So here’s Angelina Jolie doing what I can only describe as some sort of miracle. Page Six reports:

Her emaciated stomach nearly ruined In Touch’s plans for this week’s cover: “Is Angelina Jolie pregnant?” To protect its story, the glossy bought exclusive rights to the shots of her taut torso “so no other weeklies could run them,” said an insider. In Touch claims Jolie gained 10 pounds in her chest, but conveniently cropped the photo above her flat stomach. “When Angelina showed up looking so skinny, they bought the photos,” our source said. The mag says, “The most striking area of Angelina’s weight gain is in her chest.”

How in the hell do you gain 10 pounds in your chest? That’s incredible. Seriously, Wonder Woman couldn’t even do that. No matter how many times I told her it would help me pay attention to her more. What? She tied me up with her Golden Lasso! That thing makes you tell the truth and, well, I like boobs. When a magical rope controls my speech, don’t be surprised if I say, “Hey, those could be a bigger.” That’s just cause and effect, baby.

Between the duties of motherhood, making movies and involving herself in politics and humanitarian efforts, one would think that Angelina Jolie would feel a bit overwhelmed.

Apparently, that’s not the case. The Taking Lives actress, who was spotted out yesterday picking up son Maddox at his Manhattan school, is actually looking to add television to the agenda.

It’s always interesting to see that most of the time celebrities are just like anyone else.  They work, they play, they take their kids out for some fresh air.  And yesterday, Angelina Jolie was seen performing her parental duties.

First, the mommy-of-four headed over to Manhattan’s Upper East Side to pick up her son Maddox, 6, from his swanky private school the Lycee Francais. 

I know it’s the wind, but Shiloh should really carry Heather from Rock of Love’s (see below) legacy by paying tribute to her hair. The higher the hair the closer to God! Yes Shiloh’s cute, we know this.

Here’s Shiloh with two people yesterday in NYC.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were spotted on Saturday enjoying a family outing to Kidville, an indoor playground in New York City.

The Hollywood supercouple had all four of their children in tow, with Brad handling Zahara and Pax, while Angelina took care of Shiloh and Maddox.

It’s not everyday you get to see Angelina Jolie tear up in front of a blinking Nick Kristoff, but if your fantasies involve the star of Tomb Raider getting lachrymose in front of a Times columnist, today’s your lucky day. [Jezebel]
