The Jolie-Pitt celebrity daycare center may see an addition sooner rather than later. Brad Pitt reportedly told Italian state TV reporters that he'd be happy to have a fifth child. No further information was proffered on the prospect of a sibling to Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh, although Pitt did say that having four children "makes me much more efficient because when I work, I really have to focus. I know I've less time to get things done. Actually, I'm quite pleased by it." Pitt and Jolie were in Venice with their children promoting Pitt's new movie, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston, on the other hand, have as much child as they can handle with their single daughter, Bobbi Kristina, 14. Brown was in court in Orange County last Friday seeking to overturn a judgment giving rehab-frequenter Houston sole custody of the girl. Said parole-violee and reality star Brown, "I just miss my daughter. The goal is to see her a lot more and to be involved in the decision making in her life, the places she goes, the people she hangs out with. All of that."

The R&B singer Usher may be childless as of yet, but fatherhood looms large on the horizon. The 28-year-old Li'l Jon collaborator wed a pregnant Tameka Foster, 37, in a civil ceremony August 3, but held an exchange of vows at a 16th-century French-style resort in Georgia last Saturday for 200 friends and family. The couple's nuptials have been a matter of some controversy lately due to the postponement of the wedding earlier this summer, reportedly because of complications with her pregnancy, His mother was also rumored to object to the bride.

I'm sure some readers wonder from time to time where stars like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton get off spending tens of thousands of dollars a night partying at the most exclusive nightclubs in America. It turns out they don't. The Associated Press reported that Hilton was paid a large sum to celebrate her lavish 27th birthday party at the prestigious Las Vegas nightclub PURE. According to an executive at Hilton's former favorite birthday spot, Bellagio's Light nightclub, Hilton may have been paid as much as $200,000 to change camps. PURE reportedly paid Spears about $83,000 to host a New Year's celebration at the Club. However, the large sums are worth it, according to PURE managing partner Steve Davidovici. The Club sold a table next to Spears' for $50,000, and about 3,000 tickets at $250 each for the night.
