Brad explained that the Jolie-Pitt Christmas is not full of “pressure to make [the children] big or expensive gifts,” but then again, the kids surely aren’t going without! He claimed that “The kids don’t ask for big gifts for the reason that they don’t see a lot of the American cartoon television, which is packed with all those manipulative commercials for big toys that look so fantastic.” 

He also took the time to extoll the virtues of having a multicultural family, saying “I look down at the family and I see our boy from Vietnam, and our daughter from Ethiopia, and our girl’s from Namibia,and our son who’s from Cambodia, and . . . they are all brothers and sisters, man. They are all the same blood.” 

Continuing, Brad commented that “It is such elation to see them all living together, and getting along together, and to know that we were able to give them a home — in some cases, to give them a life. It’s a wonderful thing that we are able to do this because of the jobs we have — and it’s a selfish thing, too, because the rewards are extraordinary.”

Okay– we get it! Does anyone else feel like Brad and Angelina are beating a dead horse when they do these interviews? It’s cool to get personal details, but hearing where the kids are from– again– feels suspiciously like “interview filler.”

At least Brad admits that he’s been “dragging” his famly from place to place, and that they are ready to “give them a break.” Finally!

Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon aren’t fading from the spotlight, ’cause their PEOPLE issue is hot.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and the twins’ recent debut sold a reported 2.6 million copies, according to super-secret sources, which makes it the biggest seller in not just 2008, but in seven years. It’s actually the fourth highest seller in PEOPLE’s history (which spans 35 years) and also drew in a record number of online visitors to People.com: 6 million uniques in 24 hours, in comparison to their usual 8.8 million unique visitors per month.

The wallet-busting purchase was met with a raise in issue price to $4.49, and running time on newsstands of 3 weeks.

I hope the Jolie-Pitts hold off for a while longer so we can catch our breath.
