After visiting hurricane-damaged New Orleans last week, Brad Pitt allows himself some R&R on Tuesday and motors over to Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica on his custom Ducati. The actor will start his first job since the birth of 2-month-old Shiloh, Ocean’s Thirteen, next week.

During his visit to New Orleans on Thursday, Brad Pitt surveys the hurricane-ravaged Lower Ninth Ward. In a Monday interview with the Today show, the actor said fatherhood has helped change his perspective on the world: “You know, I’ve had my day. I made some films, and I’ve really had a very fortunate life, and it’s time for me to share that a little bit.”

Gwen Stefani and Angelina Jolie got together with their babies Kingston and Shiloh on Sunday at the Jolie-Pitt’s Santa Barbara estate. While the new moms strolled and chatted, dads Brad Pitt and Gavin Rossdale went out 4 wheeling. The estate was under heavy security, so there are REALLY crappy pictures out there.  But if you want:

US media sources are reporting that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie plan to adopt an older male child. A source told a US magazine the couple will “adopt an [older] child to support the idea that people should adopt more children, not just babies.”

The pictures were taken while she was still pregant, and living in Africa.  It’s a rare look at Brad & Angelina together…and how freaking cute they are.
