Clearly, Angie has transformed him from a Hollywood heartthrob who was just known for being a terrific actor (who was cute, cool and married to Jennifer Aniston), into a guy who is a family man and someone who seems to be doing his part to make a difference in the world.

So he has patched up his image of being a heartbreaking, wife-leaving, cheating movie star after so publically ditched Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie.

And he has gained recognition as someone who helps to build homes for the homeless and who wants to help heal humanity.

And he is now seen as a devoted partner who loves and supports a woman who is now considered a great humanitarian; a woman who puts action behind her words.

And he is always on daddy duty, caring for kids he has taken as his own. But in all this domesticity and devoted daddyhood, has Brad gotten a tad dull?

Angie and Brad, together, seem to make a difference in the world. They've done wonders for the image of mixed-culture families and for inspiring people to adopt children of different backgrounds.

In some ways, in the public eye, yes, he makes being in a relationship, being a daddy and saving the world a very hot thing to do. And that's a good thing.

But is it all really, really, really real?

When you look at him, do ya still think: he is so hot? Or do you think, she's created the reality she wanted to live and he has agreed to star in the movie with her? And she is so powerful that she will bite his head off one day, just like a lady grasshopper, when she is done with him?

No matter. Whatever we may want to think, their powerful pr machine will keep propelling their public images forward. We may bever know if there is a reason -- other than the one they keep claiming -- for why they are not getting married.

So, lets just congratulate those two for having all that influence!

And let us also take a moment to remember the pre-Angie, hot Brad Pitt that single and married women loved and adored. No one really cared if that Brad was a good husband or father, or a humanitarian. We all just wanted him to keep his shirt off!
