Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt 's son Pax, 21, was involved in another e-bike crash on Friday in Hollywood
The budding photographer was riding his purple-and-black two-wheeler when he smashed into a white hatch-back car in Hollywood on Friday morning just before noon.
Before the accident took place, Pax was seen riding his e-bike without holding onto the handlebars. At one point he rested his gloved hands in his lap.
The Us online breath mints story is obvious tabloid fabrication. In an interview with Extra's Jerry Penacoli on Valentine's Day last year (see below), Angelina clearly stated that they skip Valentine's as a rule because they already have enough celebrations with Mother's Day, Father's Day and all the birthdays in their family. Since they don't celebrate Valentine, they wouldn't be exchanging gifts of any sort -- which exposes the lie in the story from the Us "source" who additionally claimed Brad was "also getting her something more serious." Almost every instance in the past of reports of "gifts" that emanated from tabloid "sources" have been shown to be false including the memorable waterfall last year.
In this instance, Us may have wanted to do a favor (paid or otherwise) for someone at the breath mints company given the suspiciously convenient photos and links. The story, given its outrageousness, naturally garnered clicks and attention.
Priorities:
Brad Pitt hit the road on his $300,000 motorcycle Friday
Most
expensive bike in the world: Brad looked every bit the black-clad
action star seated on his new custom Ecosse Titanium Series XX bike
Need for speed: The Seven actor, who is said to
own around 10 motorcycles, even gave his son Maddox a Suzuki DRZ-125
dirtbike for his eleventh birthday
Angelina Jolie had lunch – sans Brad Pitt or their children – at Public at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on Tuesday afternoon.
While the actress recently spoke about her "very grounded home," she "beamed" as she joined four women and one man at a corner booth near the bar for a mid-day meal.
The actress-turned-director looked "stunning in a long black
fitted coat, a Louis Vuitton tote and her hair down," an onlooker tells
PEOPLE. "She looked breathtaking with no makeup on."
As the group enjoyed a "carefree" lunch, Jolie was smiling and
"seemed really comfortable and totally peaceful. Just having a nice
lunch," the source adds.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie shared a love of learning with their kids on Valentine's Day.
The ever-engaged couple brought twins Knox and Vivienne to
Los Angeles' Natural History Museum, where the favored attraction for
the 4-year-olds turned out to be—no surprise here—the dinosaurs!
"Brad
at one point was overheard telling a staff member they wanted to come
see the new Dinosaur Hall, and they definitely saw a 'Dinosaur
Encounter' show," which features a life-sized Tyrannosaurus rex puppet, a
source tells E! News.
The insider says the family didn't give off any needing-special-treatment vibes and just seemed like "the coolest people."
We
hear that Knox and Vivienne had a blast playing with fossils, looking
at teeny-tiny specimens through microscopes and putting together a T.
rex puzzle in the Dinosaur Hall's discovery center.
Sounds like Brad and Angie had a Valentine's Day for the ages.

Nothing says romance like dinosaur bones! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
kicked off Valentine's Day 2013 with their youngest kids, 4-year-old
twins Vivienne and Knox -- heading to the Natural History Museum in
downtown Los Angeles late Thursday morning.
With a bodyguard in tow, the foursome arrived at the museum --
parking in the standard parking lot and with no special VIP treatment --
and went straight to the dinosaur hall, a witness tells Us Weekly of the "excited" group.
As Jolie, 37, held hands with Vivienne, Pitt, 49, held onto to Knox.
"Brad was walking around reading to Knox and explaining things to him,"
the observer notes. The A-list family -- minus Maddox, 12, Pax, 8, Zahara, 7, and Shiloh,
6 -- paid particular attention to the "hands-on stuff" at the discovery
center upstairs, where the kids played with fossils and inspected items
with microscopes.

"Vivienne loved the butterflies and Knox was interested in the
dinosaurs and giant spiders," the witness adds. "Brad and Angelina stood
back at one point and let the kids play. They were smiling and really
enjoying the day -- you can tell they love watching their kids learn."
Engaged since last spring, the parents reportedly had a more grown-up
date later that night with dinner at the Roosevelt Hotel. As Us Weekly
revealed on Thursday surprised his love of nearly eight years with a gag
gift: Breath mints!
"It is sort of a joke -- and not," a source close to the superstar
couple tells Us Weekly of the vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free product,
called EatWhatever. "He always teases her that she has bad breath . . .
he'll also get her something more serious."

As the son of Hollywood's most famous couple, Maddox Jolie-Pitt lives a charmed life more than most his age. So it was no surprise when Brad Pitt surprised his eldest son for his 11th birthday this week - with a dirt bike. The Moneyball star is handing down his love of fast and furious toys after buying Maddox a Suzuki DRZ-125, according to E! News.
Father and son: Brad Pitt and Maddox Jolie-Pitt,
pictured on the sidelines of a 2010 New Orleans Saints game, are
celebrating Maddox's birthday in a big way
A representative for the bike maker told EOnline.com the vehicle was purchased from a dealership in Ruislip.
And Pitt, 48, seems keen to show his eldest boys Maddox and eight-year-old Pax how to ride - and safely.
New toy: The actor has reportedly bought his son a Suzuki DRZ-125, which tops out at 50mph
A source told the website: 'He wants the boys to be able to ride them on private land. 'It'll be a fun thing for them to do, and obviously he has a real passion for bikes which he'd like to pass on.'
The motorbike is said to be age-appropriate for Maddox, who turned 11 on Sunday.

The DRZ-125 model, manufactured
between 2003-2009, was made for youth and young adults, and reaches a
top speed of 50mph, according to Suzuki. The
new DR-Z series bikes retail for approximately $6,200, depending on the
model. Given the actor is said to have purchased a used bike, it's
likely he would have paid far less. Pitt's love of motorbikes is well-documented.
The star has a collection of his own,
including a vintage Ducati and a Russian Ural Tourist motorbike, both
of which he's been seen riding around in Los Angeles.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's little ones are growing up so fast!
The Moneyball star and Oscar-winning actress' oldest son Maddox turned 11 on Aug. 5 and papa Pitt made sure to get his son a grown-up gift to celebrate his coming of age..
Pitt bought a Suzuki DRZ-125 motorbike, a rep for the
automobile and dirt bike company confirms to E! News. The sports vehicle
was purchased at a dealership in Ruislip, Germany.
"He wants the
boys to be able to ride them on private land," a source tells E! News of
Pitt, who was spotted browsing bikes at HGB Motorbikes in Ruislip back
in June. "It'll be a fun thing for them to do, and obviously he has a
real passion for bikes which he'd like to pass on."
And yes, the
birthday gift is age appropriate for 11-year-old Maddox. The DRZ-125
model is made specifically for the youth and young adult markets and
only reaches a top speed on 50 miles per hour.
If you recall, Pitt and Maddox have a history in their love for off-road adventures together.
Back in 2005 when Pitt and Jolie first hooked up, Pitt and a then 4-year-old Maddox were spotted sporting around on a motorbike outside Jolie's Buckinghamshire, England estate.
Let's hope Jolie's bday gift to Maddox was some safety gear and a helmet! —Reporting by Brandi Chang and Melanie Bromley
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
had been playing it safe: staying several feet apart on red carpets,
hopping private planes, keeping out of sight when off-duty save for a
rendezvous on a remote African beach. But on June 28 they spread their
wings—and their arms, cozying up in easy affection as they made their
way with Jolie's son Maddox through Luton airport outside London. Five
days earlier the two, who have never acknowledged a romance, also showed
their born-to-be-wild side—even if on an outing with Maddox that didn't
much exceed 5 mph. Standing in a field near her house in the bucolic
village of Fulmer in Buckinghamshire, England, on June 23, Jolie
initially kept her son at her side as Pitt tooled around on a dirt bike.
But even at 4 (which he turns this month), boys will be boys. And
Maddox, says an observer, "was very excited, watching Brad ride around.
He kept looking at his mother, asking when he was going to have a ride."
When Jolie gave her consent, Pitt took over. "Brad put a safety helmet
on him, then talked quietly to him, showing where to hold the
handlebars," says the source. (In the U.K. as well as most U.S. states,
children are legally allowed to be passengers on motorcycles if they are
wearing helmets.) "Then, with the boy safely tucked in front of him, he
shouted, 'Let's go!'"
And so they did, slowly riding around a dirt path—as his
mother's whatever-it-is with Pitt revved into a higher gear. On cruise
control for the past several weeks, Pitt, 41, and Jolie, 30, have taken
care not to appear too close, stepping back from the togetherness they
inadvertently displayed when a photographer snapped shots of them
playing with Maddox on Kenya's Diani Beach in April. The distance they
kept at the L.A. premiere of Mr. and Mrs. Smith on June 7 was a
strategy to avoid photographs of them together, but it also may have
echoed their own emotional uncertainty. "People want answers about
what's happening...but I need to know what's happening first," Jolie
said in July's W magazine. Pitt repeated the sentiment to Diane Sawyer on ABC's Primetime Live June 7: "I don't know what the future is just yet."
A month later, they both seem closer to understanding. Their new
level of public togetherness may have to be put on hold in the near
future, though. A spokesman for the antipoverty One Campaign, Pitt is
scheduled to participate in the July 2 Live 8 concert to raise public
awareness about the plight of Africa's poor. Meanwhile Jolie, whose work
as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees helped spark Pitt's interest in the issue, plans to make
another visit to Africa in the near future. In August she's due to start
filming the CIA drama The Good Shepherd opposite Matt Damon, most likely in New York City. Pitt's next movie, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, starts filming shortly after.
So what now? If their life were a scene from Mr. and Mrs. Smith,
Pitt and Jolie would zoom off into their happy ending at 155 mph on the
$19,000 MV Agusta F4 Brutale S motorbike that she bought last year. But
in real life, the two, ever more sure of themselves as a couple, seem
content to focus on a happy now: making Maddox laugh, for instance, by
zooming around and around, kicking up dirt on a little patch of grass.
As the witness recalls, "Brad kept riding back close to Angelina so she
could share in the fun and see how much her son was enjoying the
excitement. All three of them seemed so happy together."

Filming for the movie has been taking place in Glasgow city centre
Roads in Glasgow city centre will be closed to traffic over the weekend as filming for World War Z continues.
Parts of the city have been transformed to replicate Philadelphia where the post-apocalyptic zombie movie starring Brad Pitt is set.
George Square will be closed to motorists on Saturday with pedestrian access limited.
A dramatic crash scene has already been shot with extras dressed as US soldiers and zombies wandering the streets.
However, members of the public hoping to catch a glimpse of Brad Pitt and the rest of the 1,200-strong cast and crew in action may be disappointed.
Ahead of schedule
The council has warned there will be limited opportunities for visitors to watch the filming.
Residents and businesses in areas where filming will take place have already been consulted with by the film's production office and are aware of the filming and production details.
Filming is ahead of schedule meaning the closures which were originally planned for Sunday are happening a day earlier.
Work on the Paramount Pictures movie, which is based on the Max Brooks novel World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, has already taken place in Valletta in Malta and in Cornwall.
Last weekend filming moved to Grangemouth.
Brad Pitt was seen at the wheel of a camper van which was hooked up to a truck and driven down Wholeflats Road, near the town's oil refinery.
Filming in Glasgow is expected to be completed on 31 August.
