By: Shannon Gossage

According to the rumors Pitt and Jolie are ready to call it quits on their relationship, if you believe the headlines of recent magazines that state "Angelina Looks Pregnant Again! Will Another Child Solve Her Problems with Brad?" and "Jen Says: Brad Will Leave Angie!" Pitt and Jolie have been surrounded by rumors like this since they became an item. Pitt’s mouthpiece said of the fact that In Touch magazine is questioning whether or not Jolie is expecting again. Said Pitt’s rep, "It’s so stupid. That magazine is a joke."

Not so claims people close to the couple. Kathleen Kennedy, the producer of one of Pitt’s latest movies The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, said, "He is at a great moment in his life." Pitt is also filming Ocean’s Thirteen and a source on the set said of Jolie, "She comes almost every day." It has also been reported that while on set, Jolie, Pitt and their brood – Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh – spend a lot of time in his trailer. While Pitt is filming scenes, a nanny takes over kid duty and Jolie allegedly silently cheers Pitt on. Said a source, "He constantly looks up at her…and she gives him two thumbs up." A friend of Pitt and Jolie’s reportedly said, "They are happier than ever living life as a family, working, creating, and helping the world."

Pitt has announced the fact that he and Jolie will be visiting New Orleans on a regular basis to observe the progress as the residents work to rebuild their homes a year after Hurricane Katrina ripped them apart. Pitt has sponsored a design competition to rebuild neighborhoods affected by the hurricane using "environmentally friendly designs and construction." He announced the winners as Matthew Berman and Andrew Kotchen of New York based Workshop APD. Pitt will begin filming on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in November and said of himself and Jolie, ""We’re going to be spending a lot of time down here."
