In a new interview with Brad, the actor gushes about his true love Angie, their amazing family and how he went from a ‘pathetic’ man to a ‘satisfied’ father.

After his marriage to Jennifer Aniston ended in 2005, Brad Pitt thrust himself into fatherhood, meeting the woman he loves, Angelina Jolie and settling into her “interesting” life. But surprisingly, Brad admits becoming a father right out of the gates was very much “instinctual” and he felt the urge to be better.

“When Angie and I first met, we came together quite quickly and we decided we were adopting,” Brad tells Parade magazine. “Now the rules are that because we are not married, I can’t adopt. Angie adopts. We decided we were adopting a daughter. We were going to do it right out of the gate. We were not going to mess around.”

“Angie said, ‘No shopping [for kids].’ I thought that was astute and beautifully put. It took the pressure off of adoption and brought a magic to it,” Brad continues. “We had set our parameters—we had room in our family if anyone needed a home. We got the call, and that’s our eldest daughter, Zahara.”

Brad goes on to explain how “instinctual” parenthood was and how he simply fell into the role. And he’s obviously good at it — he’s got six amazing kids, Maddox, 10, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5, and 3-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

“I was surprised at how automatic it is, how much of it is instinctual,” Brad says of fatherhood. “And now I have a great confidence and trust in those instincts. I mean, one sound at night and you’re awake and up because they may need you. Or when they start to have a tantrum, you know to divert them from spinning out by helping them focus on something. It just goes on and on. I tell them, ‘You can make a mess, but you’ve got to clean it up.’”

And when it comes to his six messy kids, Brad says they’re all different and unique in their own ways and he credits nature vs. nurture for that. “If you ask me about nature versus nurture, I’m going to say it is 80 percent nature, absolutely,” he explains. “You see [a child’s character] six, maybe nine months in. Now, some of our kids need more nurturing than others. Some have more delicacy. They’re all just unique individuals.”

And will Brad and Angelina — who he says is “such a great mom” — be adding any more unique individuals to their beautiful brood? Sounds like it could be a possibility!

“I mean, how many stories have you read that aren’t true, stories about me and Angie being married or fighting or splitting up?” Brad says. “And when we don’t split up, there’s a whole new round that we’ve made up and we’re back together again! We’ll get married when everyone can. We’re not splitting up. And we don’t have a seventh child yet.”

YET! Oh, we sense number seven soon!

Brad and his beautiful brood went to a screening of ‘Mr. Popper’s Penguins’ today, Aug. 29, at the Odeon Theater in London. How fun!

Angelina Jolie has been a busy lady this summer, traveling around Europe with her six kids — Maddox, 10, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5, and 3-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne – so that the whole family could be together while daddy Brad Pitt shoots his new film, World War Z. But on Aug. 29, Brad took a break from the set and spent some quality time with five of his six kids and gave Angie a much deserved breather!

Brad and the kids went to catch a showing of Jim Carrey‘s new movie, Mr. Popper’s Penguins at the Odeon Theater in London and it looked like they had a great time.

The family of eight has been back and forth from London to Scotland, but it hasn’t interfered with their summer activities. From trips to the movies and days at the theater to water park adventures and park play dates, the Jolie-Pitts have had one unforgettable summer! We’re jealous!

The brother and sister, now in their 20s, also allege their mom neglected them by haggling over the price of clothes and refusing to buy them toys!

Kathryn and Steven Garrity II wanted $50,000 in compensation for the ‘bad mothering’ they received at the hands of mom Kimberly. They were even represented in court by their DAD — Kimberly’s EX — but a judge ruled in HER favor!

Kathryn, 20 and Steven, 23, listed a catalog of ‘abuse’ in their lawsuit, including claims their mom threatened to call the police if they refused to wear a seat belt and demanded they return home from parties at midnight.

Steven was particularly aggrieved by an ‘inappropriate’ birthday card that featured a picture of cartoon tomatoes and included no money.

The two-year legal battle has ended in failure for the siblings after an appeals court ruled their mom’s conduct was neither “extreme or outrageous.”

The court also registered concern a ruling in the kids’ favor could “could potentially open the floodgates to subject family child-rearing (to) excessive judicial scrutiny and interference.”

Defending the decision to sue, Kimberly’s ex-husband Steven Miner insists, “(The children) do not view their (lawsuit) as an attack on mothering, but rather on accountability.”

“Everyone makes mistakes, but… there must be accountability for actions. Parenting is no different.”

Is this the craziest thing you’ve ever heard? According to the Chicago Tribune, Steven and Kathryn were raised in privilege in a $1.5 million house!

Thank God common sense prevailed and Kimberly won!

She insists she still loves her kids and hopes to have a relationship with them in the future. Could you forgive and forget, HollyMoms?

A fashion label is promoting a range of ‘loungerie’ — a mixture of loungewear and lingerie — for little girls to wear in AND out of the house! Would you let your daughter wear this HollyMoms?

French brand Jours Après Lunes claims it’s the first label to create lingerie for girls, ages four through 12. (Oh, what an accomplishment!) This is not your average kiddie underwear. It looks just like grown up lingerie, with the TINIEST bit more coverage. What do you think?

The preteen models are shown clutching teddy bears and stuffed animals, while the younger five year olds sport beehive hair, sunglasses, pearls, and big eye make-up! It’s a little TOO much if you ask me!

I find it creepy that these lacy pieces are being created for children who shouldn’t have the slightest idea what lingerie is! What do you think of this lingerie for little girls, HollyMoms? Take a look at the collection and tell us what you think!

Denise Richards, who has two daughters Sam, 7, and Lola, 6, and recently adopted a baby girl Eloise Joni, says her dating life hasn’t been so great, but that if she had it her way, a hot single dad would swoop in and knock her off her feet!

“The qualities I look for now are different than prior to getting married and having kids,” Denise, 40, tells CNN‘s Piers Morgan. (Let’s hope so — don’t forget she was married to Charlie Sheen!)

“Now I find myself very attracted to men who have children and I think one of the sexiest qualities in a man is seeing a man great with kids,” she adds. “I have three now and it’s a very attractive quality.”

But although Denise would love to find a partner, the fact that she’s a celebrity AND a single mom isn’t helping her dreams come true.

“I think dating in general is hard when you’re in the public eye and when you have children – I don’t bring a lot of different men around my children,” Denise explains. “It (media attention) makes dating difficult – if you’re out in public with someone for dinner, the media are like, ‘Who is the mystery man, who are you dating?’ So it does get tricky, but it is what it is.”

We hope Denise finds the man she’s looking for — she deserves it!

Maci Bookout has been facing a rough time as she deals with custody issues involving Bentley, 2, and his dad, Ryan Edwards, this season on Teen Mom. But thanks to her supportive boyfriend, Kyle King, she has been able to push through and look ahead to her future. And that includes more kids! The happy couple has ALREADY decided on baby names! Hint: Maci approves of naming her kids after cars…

“If we had a boy I would like to name him Royce, like Rolls-Royce, but I wouldn’t because [fellow Teen Mom Farrah Abraham] came up with the idea. Then I like Elle or Jade,” Maci tells Us Weekly.

“Maci comes up with new ones every day!” Kyle exclaims. “If it were a girl, I’d go with Jade. But I want a boy. With a girl I’d always be scared because you know how guys are,” he adds. “She would be wearing short skirts and I would have to make her stay home.”

So with all this baby talk, is there a wedding in sight? “I don’t think Kyle has anything in the works,” Maci says, with Kyle adding, “Most of the pressure Maci puts on me to propose comes from wanting to have another baby.”

“Honestly, if it were just me and I hadn’t had the experience of Bentley and Ryan, I would be fine with having a baby and not being married,” Maci admits. “But now I know things can change completely and I wouldn’t want to put another child through a separated home.”

Kyle says he’s not quite ready to take the plunge and wants to make sure he’s settled and has a stable, steady job. But if Bentley ever asked him to propose to his mommy, he probably wouldn’t refuse!

“That is an impossible question,” Kyle laughs, “I do everything he says!” Aww!

But she plans to solve that MAJOR fashion problem pronto. She’s designing a kids line to make sure those trendy tykes out there have as many “cute options” as little girls do!

On Nightline‘s celebrity special Mommywood, which aired last night, July 27, Rachel said her high-end clothing line will offer every mom the chance to find those key pieces that every kiddie’s closet should have — regardless of their sex.

“Let me tell you, there’s going to be A LOT of boys clothes in my line, I’m just saying,” Rachel told ABC‘s Juju Chang.

Her kidswear is going to be a hit among her A-list clientele — and their mini men and fashionistas.
