Jolie-Pitt Kids Tell Dad Brad: "Get Mommy a Ring!"

Brad Pitt may finally be ready to make an honest woman out of Angelina Jolie.

In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning (airing January 29), the Academy Award nominee says his six children are begging him to propose to In the Land of Blood and Honey director Jolie, 36.

"We're getting a lot of pressure from the kids," Pitt, 48, says. "It means something to them."

Pitt admits he hasn't "been very good" at explaining why he and Jolie have put marriage on hold since first becoming a couple in 2005. "We will someday. We will," Pitt promises. "That's a great idea."

When his brood of six -- Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 5, and Knox and Vivienne, 3 -- asked him to "get mommy a ring," Pitt vowed: "Okay, I will! I will."

The Moneyball and Tree of Life actor adds that he's always been mindful of his children's desires -- especially when it pertains to his busy work schedule.

"You have less time to spend on a project," Pitt explains. "You come home and you're Dad. You're much more conscious of how much time you give to a production."[usmagazine.com]

Soap Opera Actor Nick Santino Commits Suicide at 47

Brooklyn-born actor Nick Santino committed suicide Wednesday, The New York Post reports.

The soap opera star was wracked with grief after his beloved pit bull Rocco was euthanized Tuesday -- the same day Santino turned 47.

"Today I betrayed my best friend and put down my best friend," Santino wrote in a suicide note, according to close friend Stuart Sarnoff. "Rocco trusted me and I failed him. He didn't deserve this."

The actor, who appeared on seven episodes of All My Children and six episodes of Guiding Light, had been feeling "harassed" by his building management company, according to his neighbor Lia Pettigrew.

He was allegedly threatened with a $250 fine for having a barking dog, but according to neighbor Kevan Cleary, "the dog was not a barker, but somebody complained that the dog would bark."

Santino phoned a former girlfriend at 2 a.m. Wednesday. Police found Santino's body in his bedroom later that afternoon. The actor had overdosed on pills.

The actor's pet Rocco has been cremated; friends tell The New York Post Santino's remains will also be cremated.[usmagazine.com]

Jennifer Aniston Chows Down on Short Ribs in Front of Justin Theroux

Justin Theroux is getting a taste of the good life -- thanks to Jennifer Aniston.

The 42-year-old actress brought her boyfriend to the 64th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards in Hollywood Saturday, where Aniston was nominated alongside Demi Moore, Penelope Spheeris, Alicia Keys and Patty Jenkins for co-directing Lifetime's Five.

Aniston wore a strapless black Dolce & Gabbana mini, highlighting her toned physique. Theroux, 40, wore a matching black suit.

"Jen and Justin talked to each other quite a bit," an onlooker tells Us Weekly. "They would turn to each other and talk, and they took turns putting their arms on the backs of each other's chairs."

The actress isn't afraid to chow down in front of Theroux, either: she polished off the lobster and artichoke salad, followed by short ribs and steamed vegetables.

"During the actual show, Jennifer seemed really interested," the onlooker says. "She'd refer to her program and clap for the various winners, and occasionally comment to Patty and Justin about whatever was going on onstage."

Though Aniston and her pals lost to The Kennedy's Jon Cassar, that didn't stop her and Theroux from having a good time. Post-show, the Wanderlust costars hit up a private members' club in West Hollywood, where Theroux was spotted "continuously putting his arm around her or touching her in some way."[usmagazine.com]
