Hollywood star Brad Pitt has admitted he is ‘scared to death’ of anything happening to his children. Actor Pitt says his life has changed since he started a family with long-time partner Angelina Jolie and he is always worrying about his loved ones. Brad, whose brood consists of adopted kids Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, and biological children Shiloh, four, and twins Vivienne and Knox, two, said: “It’s changed everything. I’m scared of death, sure, aren’t we all? “Who’s not? I mean, I don’t want to go just yet but it is a reality we all live with. And it’s something I’m more concerned with being a father and I’m more concerned with being safe and that they’re safe. “In fact, it’s my only fear – where I used to be more concerned with myself, now I don’t give a s***. I just want to make sure everyone’s OK.” The 47-year-old went on to add that spending time with his family in different places around the world has made Angelina, 35, an expert at packing suitcases. He said: “We’re quite comfortable living out of suitcases, we’re quite nomadic. “We’ve got it down and the kids have got their backpack. They have to carry their backpack and if they forget it, they forget it – because there’s just too much to keep track of.” Brad added to British newspaper The Sun: “Mum’s really good at the packing. She’s militant, she’s really, really talented. I couldn’t do it. “We have a base camp in LA and we’re trying to establish a base camp here in France which can be a hub for going to other places in the world.”

Actress Helena Bonham Carter has admitted she likes the bizarre rumours that surround her family life with director Tim Burton because it puts a “protective shell” around their privacy. Bonham Carter and her 52-year-old long-term partner live in separate houses next door to each other in London, which has led to people thinking they live in an “Alice in Wonderland” style world. But she insists that the couple don’t mind these rumours circulating because it keeps an air of mystery hanging over them. The 44 year-old told British Total Film magazine: “[People] think we’re the Addams Family! But do you know what? I think all that is rather marvellous. The more myths that follow you, it’s a more protective shell around you. “You’ve got to keep the truth private – so the more c**p they write and the more sensational it is, the further it is from the truth. It’s a sort of shell of bull***t.”

Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg said he’s not longer a ‘bad-ass’ and is now just a dad. Wahlberg, 39, who is starring in new movie The Other Guys, has been in trouble with the law in the past and he admitted people wrongly believe he is still a tough guy now. Speaking to Britain’s Empire magazine, he said: “Yeah, even today doing these photoshoots I was doing earlier. They want me to pull all these silly faces, but that’s just not me. “I can’t do that. It’s not that I think I’m too cool. Then the guy was like: ‘Okay, no problem. We can do the bad-ass look, then.’ And I’m like: ‘Well, I’m not really a bad-ass either!’ “You know, I’m a dad. I grew up in an edgy environment and had to navigate through a pretty tough world, so I was required to appear a bad-ass, but I’m past all that now.” The actor is married to model Rhea Durham and they have four children – Ella, seven, Michael, four, Brendan, two, and Grace, eight months.

US actress Keri Russell said it’s ‘hard’ being a working mum and having to leave her little boy. Russell, 34, and husband Shane Deary have a three-year-old son River together and she is making her return to TV starring opposite Will Arnett in new comedy Running Wilde. She said to Parade.com: “Any time you’re working and have kids, I think it’s hard. My little guy’s first week of preschool was last week, and of course I want to be there for that. “I never imagined that I wouldn’t be walking him to school. Luckily, I didn’t have to go into work that day until the afternoon, so I got to drop him off at least and then my husband picked him up. “But of course it’s hard. But it’s hard for my lawyer friends and advertising friends, too. You just have to make time. During the weekends, I try to do less friends stuff and try to be there to make dinner and be there for breakfast time. “And he does come visit me on set, and the great thing about this show is that Will and Amy [Poehler] have two little guys, too. So we’ve gotten them together already to play.”

Spiderman star Tobey Maguire says it is ‘challenging’ to juggle a film career and time with his family.

Maguire, 36, became a dad for the second time last year when his wife Jennifer Meyer gave birth to their son Otis. The couple also have a three-year-old daughter Ruby.

Talking about new flick Brothers, he told The Boston Globe: “You’re working on the movie 12 to 14 hours a day, and then going home and preparing for the next day, memorising lines, reflecting on what you did, and thinking about what you have to do the next day.

“It wasn’t easy. Put it this way, my wife told me I wasn’t much fun to be around for those few months.”

Maguire added that the intensity of filming can sometimes be tough when you have a young family.

He said: “It’s always challenging. It does create tension [in the relationship]. But my wife, she understands, and we both do the best we can to get through those experiences.”

Michael Jackson’s mother Katherine will remain the temporary administrator of his estate until next week, a judge has ruled.

Katherine’s lawyers got an order giving her temporary control of the estate earlier this week, based on her belief that Jackson left no will.

But they had to return to court in Los Angeles on Wednesday, after the singer’s will was filed.

The named executors of the will – lawyer John Branca and music executive John McClain – have said they want to make sure they have control over the assets and asked a judge to nullify Katherine’s power to move the late superstar’s assets around, even on a temporary basis.

But the judge has decided not to make any change to the original order before a hearing on Monday.

There is not believed to be any conflict between Katherine and the new executors.
