The brood is all back together! Brad Pitt joins Angelina Jolie to take their children out for dinner on the Kings Road

By Sarah Fitzmaurice





Back together again: Brad Pitt joined his brood for a family meal together in London last night





Earlier in the day one half of Brangelina had taken their brood on a creative day out.



But later in the evening the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie reunited for a family meal out in London.



The famous family made their way to Benihana, a Japenese restaurant on the Kings Road last night.





Brad, 47, had taken time out from filming his latest movie World War Z to spend some quality time with Angelina and their six-strong brood.



And given the size of the family they were seen arriving in a large people carrier.

Family meal: Brad joined Angelina and their children, who had spent the day together, for the family meal





Brad was dressed in a pair of camel coloured trousers and a cream knitted cardigan and the actor also donned a pair of thick rimmed glasses.



Meanwhile Angelina opted for an all-black ensemble, very different to her white dress she had worn earlier in the day.



Earlier in the day the Salt actress, 36, took her children to the Pottery Café in the town for an afternoon of decorating ceramics.



Feeling crafty: Angelina Jolie took her children to a pottery decorating centre in Richmond earlier today





And the family were in for a treat as the craft centre is running a pirate and princess promotion over the summer holidays.



It seems that the children got into the swing of decorating leaving with bags of their creations and the day out proved to be quite a smash hit with the brood.



Angelina, who flew to the Netherlands over the weekend to attend the trial of Congolese warlord Thomas Lubanga, was dressed in a midi white linen dress for the outing.

The actress was also wearing her signature style eye wear – a pair of gold aviator sunglasses as she emerged from the craft centre hand-in-hand with her three-year-old son Knox.



Brad is still filming his upcoming film World War Z in Scotland while Angelina entertains the children in London.

All in? The mother-of-six teamed her dress with a pair of nude patent wedges and her signature style eye wear a pair of gold aviators





In an interview with Vanity Fair magazine Angelina opened up about her relationship with Brad Pitt and revealed that despite having six children together, both biological and adopted, they have no plans to get married.



The Mr and Mrs Smith star commented in an interview in the October issue of the magazine and said: 'There is no secret wedding’



She also quashed rumours that the couple will be having more children, at least for the moment and said: ‘I’m not pregnant. I’m not adopting at the moment.'





Spending time with the grandparents: The Children enjoyed a visitor to the park with their maternal grandfather Jon Voight while their parents were away last weekend

Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff gives five housemates immunity after becoming the second person to be evicted from Celebrity Big Brother

By Sarah Fitzmaurice





Evicted: Pamela Bach has become the second person to be evicted from the Big Brother House last night





Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff has become the second person to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house.



The 47-year-old mother-of-two was evicted from the house in a surprise eviction earlier tonight.



Pamela was tasked with giving half of the house immunity from Friday's eviction and chose to save Jedward, Paddy Doherty, Amy Childs and Kerry Katona from the public vote.





Pamela had donned a short silver and black sequined dress which she teamed with a thick waist belt and sheer tights.



As she departed the house she said she was happy to be leaving and told housemates: 'Have a great time be kind to each other.'



Pamela was greeted by a loud chorus of boos and a few cheers as she exited the house.



Short and sparkly: Pamela opted for a silver and black sparkling dress with a large black waist belt and sheer tights for the eviction





Speaking to Brian Dowling in her post-eviction interview she said she thought Darryn was the reason she was out of the house but said she didn't hold any grudges.



Speaking of paparazzo Lyons, who was also up for eviction, she said he 'did a lot of in your ear stuff,' suggesting he was influencing other housemates.



Safe from eviction: Pamela chose Jedward and Paddy as her first two choices to save from eviction on Friday



Keeping it in the family: The actress also selected her 'sexy sister' Amy and 'mummy to mummy' Kerry to also be saved from the public vote





The actress and producer said she had even overheard him talking to other housemates while she was ill.



Pamela, who used to be married to David Hasselhoff, said that she had a 'great time' in the house but couldn't identify who had voted for apart from Darryn and Tara.



Opening up: Pamela said she though Darryn was the reason she was evicted and said he did ' a lot of in the ear stuff' suggesting he was influencing the others but said she didn't hold a grudge





The blonde who was often heard making bizarre statements while in the house said her favourite catchphrase was 'Breathe in god breathe out love.'



Yesterday Pamela was teamed with Bobby in the twin task becoming Pambob, but the pair failed to prove that they had the most 'twintuition'.



After viewing a montage of her best bits in the house Pamela was given one final task to perform.



Still smiling: Despite the audible boos from the audience Pamela had a smile on her face as she made her way from the house



Unimpressed? Darryn, who Pamela suggested was behind her eviction did not look happy when she failed to save him from eviction on Friday





She had to choose four people in the house to offer immunity to, meaning half the house would be exempt from the eviction on Friday.



After a few moments of silence she said:'One thousand percent John and Edward.'



Double trouble: Yesterday Pamela and Bobby had taken part in the twin task together becoming Pambob but failed to prove they had the most 'twintuition'



Short stint: Pamela lasted just two weeks inside the Big Brother house and has become the second person to be evicted from the show





And while the crowd shouted out names she continued: 'I'm gonna pick Paddy.'



She also saved Amy Childs who she dubbed her 'sexy sister' before saying :'Mummy to Mummy Kerry.'



Bobby, Darryn, Lucien and Tara are all now up for Friday's eviction.

'She's got plenty of property - let her have them': Fury at Vanessa Redgrave after she backs travellers' fight against eviction from Europe's biggest

Last-ditch High Court bid to prevent bailiffs entering site from midnight



By Andrew Levy





Backing: Actress Vanessa Redgrave, right, speaks to the media at Dale Farm alongside traveller Mary Ann McCarthy, second left, and Dale Farm supporter Anne Kobayashi





She has never been shy to speak up for a controversial cause.



And last night Vanessa Redgrave was at the centre of a fresh dispute as she backed ‘strong, wise, warm and gentle’ travellers in their fight against eviction from Europe’s largest illegal camp.



The veteran actress arrived at the 1,000-strong settlement at Crays Hill in Essex to say that kicking out the inhabitants – who must leave by tonight under the terms of an eviction notice – would breach their human rights.



But neighbours accused the 74-year-old of ‘interfering with something she knows nothing about’. They have complained of threats, anti-social behaviour, petty crime and fly-tipping.



Support: Miss Redgrave visits Gratton Puxton, far left, baby Caitlin Mcarthy and her mother at the site ahead of tomorrow's eviction day





Property developer Len Gridley, 52, whose land is bordered by the site, said: ‘She is an actress who doesn’t live in the real world.



‘She is like all the Left-wingers and tree-huggers who come here. If they really knew what it was like they would be on my side of the fence.



‘She’s got plenty of property – let her have them. I think she’d have them on her land for a week and then she’d change her mind.



‘She shouldn’t be interfering with something she knows nothing about. This is green belt land and it should stay green belt land.’



Big issue: Dale Farm is the largest Romany Gypsy and Irish Traveller site in the United Kingdom





Another resident, who asked not to be named for fear of reprisals, said: ‘We have suffered for years while the travellers have acted like a law unto themselves and used the legal system to sit tight.



‘Vanessa Redgrave has no right to stick her oar in.’



The actress, who has made more than 80 films, is a prominent Left-wing activist who has backed causes including the unification of Ireland, nuclear disarmament and opposition to the Iraq War.



Speaking at the traveller camp, she said she hoped ‘humanity would triumph’, adding: ‘The whole situation is really about planning – there’s no crime that’s been committed.’



Earlier in the day, she said: ‘I am certain that the eviction is illegal under international, mandatory, human rights conventions. I am appalled that such an action can be upheld by our Government.’



Protest: The residents of Dale Farm say the eviction is a massive waste of public money and that they will put up resistance if police try to force them out



Resistance: The Dale Farm travellers say that they won't go quietly if police move in. Many locals fear the situation will turn ugly





Dozens of legal plots have existed at the Crays Hill site for decades but hundreds more travellers began developing land there a decade ago and have used human rights laws and legal aid to fight Basildon Council’s attempts to move them.



The Court of Appeal finally ruled last year that more than 80 families on 52 plots should leave, but the travellers have threatened violent resistance.



Today one of the travellers, Mary Flynn, launched an 11th-hour High Court bid to stop the evictions on the grounds that she was suffering from ill health.



The 72-year-old said that if bailiffs switched off electricity at the site, a nebuliser she uses to aid breathing would cut out.



Mary O’Brien, a mother of two who lives at the camp, said last night: ‘These are our homes. We are not going to go without a fight. It will be bloody and violent.’



Basildon Council said warning letters would be sent to those who ignored the eviction notice.

Bride stole £170,000 from her boss for lavish dream wedding... but was rumbled when she invited HIM

-Mother-of-one entertained guests with a magician, harpist and two bands

-Treated herself to a £1,500 jewel-encrusted iPad case

-Employer had already increased Lane's wages after she pleaded poverty



By Louise Boyle





Indulgent: Kirsty Lane, pictured with husband Graham, planned her dream wedding at a Tudor-built hall and laid on a free bar for guests along with two bands and a fireworks display





A bride paid for her lavish wedding - including two bands, a free bar and a fireworks display - with the £168,000 she had stolen from her boss.



Kirsty Lane, 29, only aroused the suspicions of her former employer when she invited him to her no- expenses spared big day.



Lane stole the money from the company in Leyland, Lancashire where she'd worked for four years by falsifying invoices in her role as a part-time accounts clerk.



Her former boss Peter Sutton said today that her 'unbridled greed' had almost ruined the business.



Mr Sutton, from Preston, said two people lost their jobs because of the ordeal.



He said: 'It was like she was rubbing our faces in it. It was the wedding that first started to raise alarm bells.



'Up to that point we had no idea. She was always claiming poverty and didn't do anything that would tip us off.



'Then the wedding was the most lavish thing I've ever seen. I trusted her implicitly and this was how she repaid us.'



The mother-of-one admitted to 122 counts of fraud at Leyland Magistrates' Court for stealing from audio visual company Pure AV where she worked until January.



The court heard how she used the stolen money to fund her dream wedding earlier this year to fiance Graham at the Tudor-built Great Hall at Mains venue, in Little Singleton, near Blackpool.



She laid on a fireworks show, harpist, saxophone player, magician, two bands, a DJ, free bar, face painting and even bought elaborate feathered masks for all her guests.



She purchased bridesmaids dresses using company accounts and even bought a lavish £1,500 jewel-encrusted case for her iPad.

Sealed with a kiss: The couple's lavish wedding took place at Mains venue in Little Singleton, near Blackpool





Lane pleaded guilty to ten counts of fraud worth a total of £38,000 and asked for a further 112 counts of fraud to be taken into consideration.



Mr Sutton said he did not suspect anything was amiss until he and colleagues attended the function and were shocked at how 'elaborate' the celebrations were.



Days after the wedding, while Lane was off enjoying a 'mini-moon' in the Lake District, Mr Sutton said a routine problem with an account set off alarm bells about financial discrepancies which made him look more closely at the accounts.



He found Lane had been using real invoices to existing suppliers to make payments into her own bank account for more than two years.



Rolling in it: The bride's dream wedding was funded by false invoices that she paid into her bank account





It took two months to uncover the full extent of the deception. Lane was arrested at her home in Adlington as she was preparing to go on a longer honeymoon to Mexico.



Mr Sutton said: 'If she had been in work when the problem surfaced she would have been able to hide it like she had for so long.



'But because I was already getting suspicious, it all started to come out. It was a very clever, incredibly devious operation that was calculated to the nth degree.





No expense spared: Canapes were served at the reception, along with Buck's Fizz amid ornate flower displays





'You read about these things but you never think it will happen to you. It caused a lot of sleepless nights. We are not a large company, a lot of livelihoods depend on us.



'How it didn't sink us I don't know. It is only through the sheer determination of the rest of the team that we are still here.'



Mr Sutton said the company even loaned Lane £7,000 and increased her wages after she complained she was struggling financially, despite stealing thousands.



Lane refused to comment when asked for her response at her home in Adlington.



She has been bailed to appear at Leyland Magistrates' Court on October 13 ahead of sentencing at Preston Crown Court later.
