From Us Weekly:
Brad Pitt knows where the wild things are — at his hometown pizza parlor.
Every time the actor, 48, and his six children visit Springfield, Missouri, a source tells Us Weekly, the brood goes bananas at Arris’ Pizza!
“The place shuts down for the entire night and the kids raise a ruckus,” says the insider of Maddox, 11, Pax, 8, Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 6, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 4. “They jump on tables and even throw food at each other!”
Pitt and Angelina Jolie, 37, leave their nannies at home and “let the kids enjoy themselves,” continues the source about the couple, who normally divide their time between properties in Los Angeles and their Miraval estate in France.
The twosome loosen up too — on policing their pack.
Says the insider, “Brad and Angelina just sit there and talk to one another while the children run around in circles!”
Uh, no. No way. It’s sweet that Brad and Angelina pay to close the restaurant for the night, but I still don’t think that makes this ok. This is obnoxious* as hell, and it’s just not cool. No kid needs to learn that it’s acceptable to go into a restaurant and throw food. Pull it together, Brangelina.
*Speaking of obnoxious, do you know what I did this weekend? I waited 30 minutes to buy three DVDs. I wasn’t even in line: I was at the register, listening to the cashier make the same lame joke 10 times and looking at his stupid hands because he got something on them and he had to go wash them just one more time, for literally 30 minutes. Obnoxious for days.
I’m not surprised. We were three girls growing up and the only “restaurant” our parents would dare to take us was McDonalds. Let kids be kids.
It’s not true- Gossip Cop & some other sites called the restaurant and talked to a NAMED source (owner/mgr) who said that Brad & Angie hadn’t been there for a while, but the times they have, the kids were well-behaved. He also said that he has NEVER closed down the restaurant for anyone- not even Brad Pitt.
I moved from Springfield three and a half years ago and all I know is that in Arris Pizza they did have photographs of Brad and Angelina dining, up on their walls. The couple came into the Springfield Target and shopped while I lived there, but they didn’t have all the kids with them (or…I think there were a couple less kids at the time…lol). Anyway, of course the owners would deny the story, but one of the wait staff who had to serve them is probably who leaked the story. Living in a small(ish) town like Springfield, I used to hear sooo many Pitt stories from long time residents. Every female over a certain age claimed to have dated him. Lol.
