VENICE, Italy (Sept. 2) - Brad Pitt and his partner Angelina Jolie are ready for another child, the actor said Sunday as he was promoting his new film.

Pitt and Jolie, with children in tow, were in Venice to talk about his film on Western outlaw Jesse James. The movie is competing for the top Golden Lion award at the city's film festival.

Pitt and Jolie already have four children including a 15-month-old girl, Shiloh, born to the couple. Jolie has also adopted three children close in age from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam.

Asked by Italian state TV whether they were ready for a fifth, Pitt replied: "Yeah we're ready."

He did not indicate whether they planned another biological child or if they would adopt.

Earlier on Sunday, Pitt told a news conference fatherhood was fun and good for his work, though he's not getting much sleep.

"It's the most fun I've ever had and also the biggest pain ... I've ever experienced," he said when asked what it was like to become a family with four children in a short space of time. "I love it and can't recommend it any more highly - although sleep is nonexistent."

Having four small 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," said Pitt.

"The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford," stars Pitt, Casey Affleck and Sam Shepherd, and was directed by Andrew Dominik. Pitt described it as "more a gangster film than a Western."

Pitt plays James in the last year of his life as he lapses into paranoia over potential betrayal by accomplices and intimates.

wow, they probably adopting for all the publicity. Angelina i like anorexic and is on drugs. I mean if she cared then she wouldn't have done it. Also, they aren't exactly the smartest celebrity couple in the world.

SMH. Kudos to them for adopting children that needed love, care and a home. Boo, though for not adopting any of the thousands if not millions, of American kids we have already beginning to age out [phase, if you will] of the system. [SiGh] BUT, once again, I give them props for even being parents so someone else's biological children. And as for the homewrecker stuff.. Who the hell cares? If anything, blame Brad, if you REALLY gotta blame someone B/C he made vows and so did Jennifer. Then, blame their marriage b/c it was easy to wreck in the first place. [Shrugs and walks away]

How in the world are these to an inspiration? She is a dirty ***** who broke up a marriage!!! She is only getting all these kids for the publicity, she is gross, goodness people wake up she kisses her brother in a manner that I would kiss my boyfriend.

These two must have cotton balls for brains. There will be a lot of jealouusy between these kids in 10 years. Every thing is under control right now. but wait until they are in their teens. The Bradolinos will regret what they have done now. All the money in the world will not compensate what these kids need for personal love. Trouble will be in the Bradolina house hold, but they are not looking that far down the road.As they get older they will have less stimana and what will they do then? They better start to think about that now. i dmire what theyare doing, but they are notthniking about 10 years down the road. To many children will be as bad as not enough.And when are they going to get married and make these kids have a married set of paents ??That goes with parenting too.

I think Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are an inspiration to all stars that are parents. You never read about either of THEM not properly taking care of their children (hint, hint: Britney Spears). As long as Brangelina continues to be able to financially care for their brood (which would seem to be no problem for them) and takes good care of them emotionally and physically, I see no reason why five children should be too many.

As long as the parents can provide a loving, supportive family life and properly provide for the children financially and spiritually, more power to them for sharing their lives and love with their own children, as well, as those that wouldn't have been blessed in this way if they hadn't been adopted.

Beyond my comprehension adopting all these children. I never had any children and probalby never will but my mother had 11. I've heard of families who have had quite a few more than 11. I'm in awe and think they are real inspiring. More power to them and glad they are happy.

Also, anyone that calls children ugly, has serious issues and has an ugly hateful soul and must have been abused as a child
