(Dec. 2) - Brad Pitt loves photography as evidenced by his photos of Angelina Jolie for W magazine. But he's no fan of the paparazzi who follow his every move.

"Let me be very blunt. I hate 'em. I hate these people. I don't understand what they do there for a living," he tells Ann Curry for a Today Show interview. Watch the Clip Below

"We need to make a distinction between people who photograph celebrities at events and people who climb over your wall wearing camouflage and calling out your kids names as you take them to school so they'll look that way."

"I have no respect for these people. I do not like them. I don't understand how they can live their lives that way. There should be laws against it. They should not be able to follow kids like this. But there's not right now, so that's the way it is."

Ann Curry also asks Pitt about comments Jolie made earlier, telling reporters to ask Brad if the couple would ever tie the know.

"She set me up, didn't she," laughed Pitt. "If we feel it's important to our kids we'll do so."

Pitt, also addressing his home life, says "there's no way to give it true validity and weight of what it means to you in your life. It seems to get cheapened somehow as it goes through the filters and the airwaves. Somethings you want to keep close to the chest."

"I'm really proud of this family. I look at my sons and my daughters. One's from Vietnam. One's from Cambodia. One's from Ethiopia. And there's this kid that was born in Namibia. And they're brothers and sisters, man. And they are fighting and they are laughing and going into hysterics and staying up late and they are messing with their parents and they're driving me crazy. I feel rich. It's a rich home. Each one offers so much to the mix. Surprisingly, six kids is not as easy as you would think."

Pitt says that he also had concerns about whether he would care for his adopted children as much as his own flesh and blood, but those concerns evaporated. "It's automatic," he says about the love for his adopted children.

The interview was conducted in New Orleans on the site of his Make It Right project. Pitt's charity has provided housing for families devastated by Hurricane Katrina. He promises that more affordable housing is on the way in the Big Easy.

The paparazzi, nothing more than legal stalkers, should not be covered under 1st Amendment rights.

Lets be sensible here. BP clearly makes a valid distinction on being photographed at events (which he clearly understands and seems to accept) as opposed to being stalked. Being in the public eye, IMO, doesn't justify being terrorized by some money hungry idiots and just accepting it.

even if you think that the actors and actresses deserve being hounded by paparazzi everywhere they go, including their own homes (which i don't think they deserve it, especially since if someone followed around a "normal" person around, taking pictures of them, they would be a stalker and have a restraining order placed against them...) Brad seems most ticked about the paparrazi following the kids and hounding them. which REALLY isn't right.

Here's my thoughts about Brad Pitt and any other person that's hounded by the paparrazi. YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU DECIDED TO GET IN "YOUR" LINE OF WORK. You knew it would be like that. Firefighters, police officers, etc. all know their jobs could take their there lives. Brad and every other celebrity knew that before hand. So shut up and just try to understand that if it weren't for the paparrazi you wouldn't have the money you have in the bankS right now.

I think the world should just ignore Brad Pitt and that ***** Angelina Jolie. They are both worthless and think they are good people because of the "charity" they do. They only do it for the publicity otherwise the whole world would not be hearing about.

I doubt many people who are not "celebrities" would put up with the fact that their kids and family are constanly being chased or photograped by paparazzi. Oh how do you think it would feel to have someone climbing over your wall taking private pictures and calling to your kids by name. Has any one forgotten how Princess Diana was constantly stalked by the paparazzi, everywhere she went. So for all those hateful thoughts out there, put yourselves in their shoes for a moment. Yeah the money would be great, dealing with these trashy stalkers, no thanks.

Can anyone tell me, How is it that both he and smut bucket are so gung ho to rebuilding New Orleans (at an expensive price most New Orleans citizens can't afford) and are great humanitarians, Why do they not have one single American born child, but have no problem adopting children from around the world or birthing their children in other countries???????????? Why can they not adopt any children from America???? It's sad that there is a strong epidemic of homesellness & low income families in the US. But there are thousands of children in the system that could use a wonderful home. HOW SAD & PATHETIC of them.
