Can you recall when America’s Sweethearts Brad Pitt and that TV actress we can’t remember the name of broke up and for a moment or two the earth seemed to stop rotating and we thought we might die of sadness before hurtling into the sun? We really got over the mourning period fast. It’s all about Brad and Angelina Jolie now. On the eve of their Mr and Mrs Smith tumbling into theaters, they spent a few days on a secluded beach in Africa. Secluded but not private. Private jets and private villas just get the paparazzi inventive. The Sun, England’s answer to the NY Times on crystal meth, has “sensational” pictures of them frolicking and cavorting. According to an Ozzie paper, the pictures show that the two are a couple. (Herald Sun)

Pitt dotes on Jolie’s adopted son Maddox as they build sandcastles on the secluded beach, while the Tomb Raider siren looks on tenderly. Wearing a black sundress exposing her sunburnt shoulders and tattoos, Jolie is pictured taking snaps of the bearded Pitt and Maddox, 3, playing together.

We hear that US bought the pictures for $1 million. No word on whether Jolie adopted any African babies mid-frolic.
