Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took their adorable children to the park in Budapest, Hungary today, and the family had a blast riding on the zipline and running around in the crisp fall weather.
Angelina was taking a much needed break from directing her latest project, United Love Story, and she looked delighted to be reunited with Brad. Brad took sons Pax and Maddox to New York City earlier this week for the Megamind premiere and a business meeting, but after spending less than 48 hours in the Big Apple, the boys returned to Budapest last night.
A photographer on the scene tells X17online exclusively:
"Brad and Angelina looked so happy to be together. You could tell the girls missed Brad and the boys. They were so carefree, enjoying being outdoors and playing with the kids. At one point Shiloh asked for help on the zipline, yelling to him, 'Daddy! Come and hold me!' It was so cute."

This just in ... a special preview of Michael Jackson's new single, Breaking News from the upcoming album, Michael.
In the short clip, anchors from around the world are seen spreading news about The King of Pop. After a quick montage, we get a little taste of what the new track sounds like.

As we had previously reported, some members of the Jackson family believe that five songs recorded in 2007 feature an impostor. The dispute could potentially complicate the $250 million deal between Sony and the estate, which apparently has dozens of unreleased MJ songs stored in its vaults, according to reports.
A source close to the Jackson Family told x17online exclusively:
"Katherine says its not his voice, but the estate says its going to release the album anyway. The Cascios family built a studio in their home for Michael when he stayed with them in New Jersey back in 2007, and he did a lot of recordings while he was there. I think the Cascio's added what they wanted to Jackson's partially recorded tracks and took the material to Sony after he died. Michael left a lot of stuff behind and I think they are taking advantage of that. From what I am told these are partial tracks, but I don't believe they are completely Michael Jackson's vocals which is why the family is upset."

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are not only coming clean about their fake divorce, but the reality couple says they're facing bankruptcy after blowing through $10 million, according to Life and Style.
Pratt, who says MTV canceling The Hills came as a shock, tells L&S:
"We thought The Hills was going to be like [the original] 90210 and we'd have another five to 10 years. The ratings were consistent. But we never saw Jersey Shore coming. Our cast was a bit boring and snoozeworthy in comparison. No wonder we got cancelled. We were immature, worrying too much about the famous part instead of the actual business part. In hindsight, we shouldn't have spent any of our money. We should have been low-key and saved. We did this to ourselves and feel like idiots."
In addition to owing $2 million in taxes, Montag is now regretting the money spent on her plastic surgery procedures. She says:
"I spent thousands on the procedures and after-care. I had private nurses coming twice a day for two months for treatments and bandage chances. Each time they came it cost $2000. I wish I didn't waste so much money on it."
After spending hundreds of thousands on cars and $35-thousand-a-month on rent for a Malibu mansion, the couple admits to living a little too large. So why the fake divorce? Spencer admits:
"Divorcing was the only way to keep Heidi's career going because everyone hated me so much."
He also claims UK Network ITV had offered them a show to document the divorce ... but the deal fell through. In case the show ends up happening, how bout' the title Lifestyles of the Pathetic and Not-So-Famous?

Jessica Alba graces the December cover of Elle mag, and the 29-year-old bomshell reveals that she's very shy and insecure!
"I don't like being the center of attention," Alba tells the mag. "When I do comedy, I lose all inhibition and introspection. I no longer care ... I know I haven’t been swimming in the deep end with some of the movies I’ve done. I wasn’t trying to. I knew what they were.â€Â
"I'd been so afraid of criticism ever since I was young," she continues. "Every time I'd get a critique or some redirection, I'd always just take it very personally. Now I have no problem with it."
So how has motherhood affected her career? It certainly hasn't affected her smokin' hot body! The actress tells the mag, "The time I'm not spending with my kid has to be worth it, so when I sat down with my agents after I was ready to go back to work, I told them: It's all about the directors."

We really have to applaud Portia de Rossi for sharing her struggles and experiences with the public, because she's helping a lot of young women by speaking out about eating disorders and her sexuality.
Portia appeared on wife Ellen DeGeneres' talk show this week to chat about her new book, Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain, and the ladies got emotional when talking about Portia's battle with bulimia. Portia revealed the shocking details of her eating disorder, which at one point had her weighing just over 80 pounds.
Portia told the audience, "I have changed so much since I met Ellen. I used to think the way to be strong was to be tough, the way to be independent was to not need anyone. But she's taught me that the more vulnerable you are the softer you are, the more you allow people into your life and into your heart, the happier you are and the more valuable you are to other people."
Ellen said, "I read her book and learned about the self loathing and how much she hated herself it shocked me and broke my heart. I had no idea how much had hated herself. This book is so much more, it's a book about self esteem and accepting self." Ellen added, "'For her to not only draw attention to herself but to expose herself in this way is really huge, I'm so proud of you."

Jennifer Lopez has begun her judging duties on the new season of American Idol, and already she admits, "I've cried. We get a lot of elation when we put them through and devastation, almost, when they're not. But it's been a ball."
However, when it comes to song choices, AI contestants should avoid singing JLo hits because it's not going to help their cause.
As for those who have chosen to sing a Lopez track, Marc Anthony's wifey admits, "It was cute, super entertaining and flattering, but no."
The judges have already visited seven cities, and JLo says so far they've discovered 15 to 20 "real superstars," mostly "a lot of great country [artists]."
So, are Aerosmith songs out of the question, too? We'll have to ask Steven Tyler about that one.
