Here are some photos of Angelina Jolie and Maddox Jolie-Pitt flying from New York to LA. I guess Maddox was the only kid to join Angelina in New York. Angelina and Maddox seemed to fly into NYC all undercover late last week because Angelina needed to make some appearances at the UN. On Friday, Jolie appeared before the United Nations Security Council to brief them/excoriate them for their inaction on the Syrian refugee crisis. Later that same day, she closed out the Women of the World Summit with a moving (albeit depressing) speech about sexual violence in warfare.

I don’t know what Maddox did while his mom was out at the UN. He’s old enough – he’s 13 years old – to amuse himself, I would assume. Did he do some homework? Did he go sightseeing? Did he play videogames? Did he call up his girlfriend? While I have no doubt that Brad Pitt is perfectly capable of being an uncool dad, do the kids ever think Angelina is uncool? Does Maddox ever yell, “Gawd, mah-OM, you just don’t understand”?

And in case you’re wondering about Maddox’s t-shirt… it’s for the band Whitechapel and their song “The Saw Is the Law,” which you can hear here. I listened to it for a minute and I’m pretty sure the devil just came into the room and punched me in the face. It’s that kind of crazy heavy-metal sound with some crazy person screaming into a microphone. So… typical teenage boy stuff. Angst, ‘tude, you just don’t understand, mom. It’s MUSIC. It speaks to ME. No one understands me!!!

Meanwhile, Brad Pitt appeared at an Autism Speaks fundraiser/charity auction on Saturday night and he had a weird bruise/scrape on his face. In case you feared that The Leg sought revenge for some slight, just know that Brad claims the bruise is actually “road rash” (kinky) and it involved him wearing flip-flops and walking with his hands full in the dark. Great story, Brad. Why not just say “dude, I was SO HIGH”?
