If you don’t like your job, you might want to consider becoming a celebrity nanny.

Hell, even if you DO like your job, you might want to consider this profession. Because professional nannies are reportedly paid anywhere between $50,000 to $150,000 a year. It almost makes putting up with a bunch of spitting up, pooping, and unruly kids worth it. And yes, that’s the hell I imagine when I think of what nannies have to do.

It’s no surprise that most celebrities have nannies, but these celebs often try to hide just how much their nannies are involved in their children’s lives. And keeping that quiet comes at a pretty price. Indeed, a celebrity nanny has quite the job description, and here are just a few celebrity nanny demands...

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie rarely talk about their personal lives, and now Brad has made up for it by revealing that his partner is a lot of fun in the sack.

Thank you, finally! That is all we’ve been waiting to hear for the past seven years. Now was that so hard?

“She’s still a bad girl,” Brad said, grinning on CBS This Morning. “Delightfully so. It’s not for public consumption.”

What’s not to love about the Super Bowl? Even if you’re not into sports, there’s the Halftime show, which Madonna promises to be the “greatest show on Earth.” And if that’s still not enough to get you in the game, you can’t argue with the food. Seven layer dip, anyone?

Celebrities are looking forward to the battle between the Patriots and Giants, too, and we’ve found out who the stars are rooting for. Here are your Super Bowl 2012 celebrity picks.

Jenna Fischer: We asked The Office star if she was looking forward to the game and she admitted: “I don’t know who’s playing.” Jena then turned to her husband for help. “Who are we rooting for in the Super Bowl, honey?” After being filled in, Jenna told Hollyscoop.

When you’re Angelina Jolie, every day is bring your kids to work day. And Angelina says that In The Land of Blood and Honey was so depressing, it made her want to smother her kids with affection.

“They liked to visit the set and play in the fake snow,” Angelina explained of her brood. “I was always so happy to see them I probably smothered them with love because of the subject matter I was dealing with. They brought levity and love to something that was so dark.”

Okay, I know this is on a smaller scale, but I know exactly what she means. Because every time I see that damn Sarah Mclaughlin ASPCA commercial, I cry and go hug my cat and I’m like, “Not you, though, Rudy. Not you.”
Her life partner is Brad Pitt, what would you do?

Angelina Jolie has become Hollywood royalty. Not only is she an Oscar-winning actress who turns heads on the red carpet, she directs as well. And her first go at directing even garnered her a Golden Globe nod!

First they say they’re thinking about getting married for the kids, then it’s for the gays, now they’re not getting married at all, but oh, wait, they are again…ugh!

I don’t understand why we’re all so obsessed with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie walking down the aisle, but we are. And when CBS News asked Brad about marriage, he admitted:

“We will [get married] someday, we will. It’s a great idea.”
Brad Pitt says that he and Angelina Jolie have blocked their names on their home computers so that the kids can’t google their parents online.

I can’t even imagine what goes on in the Jolie-Pitt household.

Brad Pitt: Maddox! Did I catch you googling me again?!
Maddox: But Daaaaddd! I just couldn’t remember your characters name in ‘Fight Club’!
Brad Pitt: It was Tyler Durden! You could have asked me! Now go to your room and think about what you did. You’re grounded!
