Jordan Meets The Parents!
We’d love to be a fly on the wall during that dinner conversation! It’s getting pretty serious between porn star/cagefighter Alex Reid and Jordan as he took her home to meet his family this past weekend. And, surprisingly enough, she didn’t flash her junk or get so wasted that walking was a challenge! Too bad! Alex’s parents never got to see everything he loves about her! On their first day at the house, the family (Jordan included!) ate take out, watched the X Factor and drank tea! Maybe she should save up a little bit of that normalcy for the kids! “The whole family loves Katie. She does not drink, only when she goes out which is not as often as people think,” said a source. It looks like Jordan did everything you’re supposed to do when you meet the parents: hide your true self! [ Image via WENN .]

Brad Pitt, Doing Good in España
Poppa Pitt is at it again with his do-gooding ways, no doubt influenced by his lovely babymomma, Santa Angelina . Brad the Dad was flying solo this time around, visiting an urban renewal project in the city of Aviles in northern Spain. Pitt toured the site on Sunday where the Oscar Niemyer Cultural Centre is being constructed. The city is hoping that the cultural centre will revitalize Aviles in the same way that the Frank Gehry-designed Guggenheim museum revived the city of Bilbao — now a bustling, cultural landmark. “He is interested in supporting the project, the cultural as well as the architectural aspects,” says Pilar Varela, mayor of Aviles. He is particularly interested in the environmental sustainability of the centre, which we all know is a keen interest of Pitt’s considering his “Make It Right” project in New Orleans. Sigh . Always thinking of others, Brad. We wouldn’t have you any other way! [ Image via WENN .]
