Brad Pitt has spent $82,000 on a home for his children's gerbils. The "Fight Club" actor - who raises six kids, Maddox, eight, Pax, five, Zahara, four, Shiloh, three, and 13-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne, with partner Angelina Jolie - oversaw the construction and design of the project, which boasts tunnels, platforms, seesaws and mazes.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Brad pores over architectural journals like other people pore over newspapers. He had so much fun putting the run together with his kids Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh and Pax."

Juliette Lewis thinks her ex-fiance Brad Pitt is a "super father." The "Starsky and Hutch" star is in awe of Brad's parenting skills and is amazed he manages to raise six children - Maddox, eight, Zahara, four, Shiloh, three, Pax, five, and one-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne - with his partner Angelina Jolie.

Juliette - who split from the actor in the early 90s - said: "When I run into him it's like running into an old comrade. Good vibes. He's grown into a fine man and father. Total super father. It's pretty impressive. Their family unit is inspiring."

Brad Pitt annoys Angelina Jolie with his "horrible" guitar playing. The actor often infuriates the 34-year-old beauty - with who he raises six children - with his terrible attempts at songwriting and rock star impressions.

Speaking about their home life, Brad said: "I spend time with my kids and I write horrible songs. I play the guitar and I love music, but I really suck!"

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt want their daughter Shiloh to be an actress. The Hollywood couple are keen for the three-year-old tot to become a movie star and are even considering sending her to drama school when she is old enough so she can hone her acting skills.

A source said: "They're thinking about enrolling her into a performing arts school. Shiloh is the most famous child in Hollywood and was the first baby to get a waxwork at Madame Tussauds. They think she could emulate their success."

Brad Pitt can do no wrong, according to Bill Maher. In an interview with the political commentator on his show "Real Time" on Friday, Pitt was told that he "cannot do anything that will make America not like you."

Maher said the film star is can "beat a nun to death on a pile of dead puppies" and still be loved by America.
