Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie move the kids from France to Germany

How many homes do Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt need?

Apparently, a lot!

Even though they have a long-term lease on Chateau Miraval, a huge estate in France, the couple has just moved into a posh villa called the Palais Parkschloss, near Berlin.

They were in the French chateau for only five months before packing up their six children and moving them to the new pad on Wannsee Lake. Check out the photo below.

The couple and their brood arrived by private plane last week. According to a source for People,  "Brad lifted the kids out of the plane and brought them to the transporter. I saw him lift out Shiloh and Zahara."

Why Berlin? Because Pitt, 44, will be filming Quentin Tarantino's “Inglorious Bastards”  there, starting in about three weeks.

The family's new temporary home is about 30,000 square feet and includes a boat dock and a helicopter pad.

Yup, that's always what I look for in a short-term rental, a helicopter pad.

Do you think Brad and Angelina's constant globe-trotting and moving from country to country for their film careers is good for the kids?

Seems like it might be a little unsettling and stressful, even with all their hired help. Not to mention the extra stress on all the international paparazzi who have to pack up and follow them!

What do you think?

In case you need a Pitt fix, here's the new trailer for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." It sure looks like Oscar bait for Brad.

My opinion is that half these children were "saved" and the other half are biological children -- none of our business what their affluent lifestyle is -- their parents are good, loving parents and that is what is important here. Also, their lifestyle is certainly different because their parents are superstars, humanitarians and wealthy. I think what is good for children is love and having their needs met and we don't have a right to judge. As long as Brad and Angelina have a strong relationship, I think the kids will be more than fine.

well what would you do when your husband is shooting a film in Berlin for two months? Stay in France, or be close by. An utterly ridicules article. (from Berlin, Germany) (plus the House is cheeper than booking 10 Hotel Rooms.

kEEP THE FAMILY TOGETHER.I WOULD RATHER HAVE MY KIDS WITH ME THAN LEAVE THEM IN ANOTHER COUNTRY FOR 3 MONTHS WITH THE OTHER SPOUSE OR WITH NANNIES. THEY ARE STILL QUITE YOUNG ONLY ONE IS SCHOOL AGE AND HE IS HOMESCHOOLED BY A TUTOR RIGHT NOW .WHEN THEY GET OLDER (PRE-TEENS)THEY WILL HAVE TO MAKE SOME CHANGES.

If they were loving and good parents they would keep a stable home for these children. These two have enough money to last them several lifetimes. Neither of them need to work. Honestly they talk about how important these children are and how family comes first. If this is true then step out of the limelight for a few years and raise them in a stable environment with school and friends. Maddox needs more than his parents and nannies or he will start being like the very strange home schooled children in this country.

I think that as long as everyone is together they should be fine. Those kids are seeing the world and that is something that not alot of people get to do in their lifetime. That house is SOOOOO PRETTY!

American don't travel anymore. How many of you have been to Berlin? It's a great place to live. It's better than any our city. If I have $$, I would move around to see the world and other cultures. Traveling and learning European cultures are good for their kids.

[rue]

Just so you know - they are not seeing the world they are seeing a lot of the inside of different mansions. And honestly what does it mean to twins 3 months old, a toddler 2 years old and the other preschoolers to "see the world". hate to tell you this but for someone the age of Maddox you need more than siblings and your parents to be fine.

What I think is that you need to mind your own damned business. IF you have children, then go take care of them and quit meddling with Brad and Angie's kids. If they wanted your opinion on their frequent moves they would contact you personally and say, "Hey Liz, Ange here. Brad and I were just about to take the kids to Germany so Brad can shoot his new Quentin Tarantino movie and get a $20MIL payday so we can afford all these kids we intend to have. Do you think we should take the kids with us or leave them here in France and just the two of us go to Germany?"

But...they didn't call and ask you, so SFTU and go paint your toenails or pick your nose and find a new man for your buddy Jen "Can't Keep A" Maniston.

Cassie, what a RUDE thing to say. As a parent who homeschools her kids, I can assure you they are anything but strange. They probably have more personality in their little finger than you do in your whole body. Brangelina is doing the right thing - they always stay together as a family no matter what. They should homeschool them - their kids would be 20 times smarter and nicer than the rest of the public school brats.

Are these kids being educated? I read reports from their French living situation that the kids run roughshod through the home, writing on walls, making messes in the bathroom with hair dye, that the family lives in chaos, without regard to respecting the property, dirty dishes in the sinks, half empty pizza boxes with cold old pizza on the counters, clothes dumped in piles.
Is this the sense of normalcy that they are surrounding these kids with?
I say, all is not golden in the Pitt Household.

I,m their crazy fan.I hope their family happy forever

[tomk]

LET'S not hastily ascribe too noble a motive for the entire Pitt-Jolie clan hoofing it to Germany: Angelina knows from experience that she has to keep an eye on Brad during movie shoots.

[ebmo]

Parents create a sense of family, structure and stability, Not location.

Brad and Angelina are doing just fine. Their children will be fine.
why not pay attention to your own children?

[estrell]

Who cares!! it's not our decision or the fans want. It's their life. Do you think what you think matters? Brad and Angelina decide how they want to run their life. They are like us but prettier and make more money, other than it's a job for them to make movies and apprearances. What separate them from other show biz , they try to share a little of their wealth because it makes them feel better and they want to make a difference in the world. They are both beautiful inside and out. But, they are like every parents, juggling their time to keep their family together with out neglecting their kids. Lots of people never have a real family so they become judgemental or plain jealous.

[estrell]

CASSIE, there's no room for you here. Go somewhere else or check on JA website she might need some fans to cheer her up from being broken hearted all the time.

[cassie]

I wrote keep the family together. The names are under the comments. Guest wrote the negative comment about homeschooling. Also Guest, that story about the kids damaging the chateau came from the tabloid Star magazine. Where are the pics they moved out over a week ago.Oh wait this is the Star they claimed B and A got married in NO when thet were in Tx and Star claimed they were having twin girls. Also star claimed that the family was staying in France while Brad worked in Germany so much for their inside sources.

Look at her. What do you really see?
She keeping together tree races with her life time, her love, teaching to world the way. Will arrive the time, I hope, when you will think and feel your blood brother in everyone, everywhere, one way to our planet. Her family now!

[Mabel]

Go Angie. If you can afford it; go for it. Why stuck in America? Appreciate the world, and it will be a better place. If children are surrounded by loving parents, shelter, food, clothes, and education-- they are blessed than billions of other children including those in America who are in foster care, or those with crooked parents.

[strugglingbutblessed]

I think that there are children in America suffering just as much as children in other countries, but by helping a few they have already made a statement. I would love to travel and give back if I could, but it is not possible. I can try to help the community, but Angelina needs to keep an eye on him at all times. Having six kids is not a picnic if you are alone.

[wait and see]

I would say that the only way we can judge them is wait until the kids grow up then things will come out. They may learn from their parents and sell the stories of their lives. We'll see.
