Michelle Williams celebrated her second Cannes premiere at a party in a private villa in the hills above the French city.

And guess who stopped by? Brad Pitt!

Pitt, 44, chatted briefly with Williams, 27, by the fire at the Villa St. Antoine in Vallauris, France. The party – for about 200 people – celebrated the premiere of Synecdoche, New York, Williams’s film with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener and Samantha Morton.

At the party, which featured tents on the lawn, Pitt drank champagne and talked for nearly an hour with longtime friend Keener. He showed her pictures of his kids on his iPhone and talked about how excited he was for the birth of his twins with Angelina Jolie. (Keener clearly was excited too – she kept announcing to callers on her own cell phone that she was chatting to “BP.”)

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reportedly set aside $20 million (£10 million) in order to welcome their unborn twins into the world.

The actress, who confirmed her double trouble pregnancy at Cannes last week, and her partner will be spending the mammoth amount of money on security, medical costs and shelter for their growing brood, according to Life & Style.

A source tells the magazine: “Brad and Angelina love all their children and will do everything to protect them and keep them healthy. Money is no object when it comes to the kids.

Hollywood star Brad Pitt is paying tribute to the hurricane Katrina affected New Orleans by having a tattoo of it on his lower back.

Contactmusic.com reports that Pitt was seen showing off his new tattoo, but many couldn’t figure out what the black lines and boxes represented.

Some speculate that it could be markings inspired by a map of the levees in New Orleans, which was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Pitt has bought a home in New Orleans and is working hard on a major re-housing project in the city.

Brad Pitt has denied rumours that his Hollywood neighbours want him to move.

Animalnewyork.com claimed that residents in the gated community of Franklin Village are “outraged” by the constant presence of paparazzi.

They have reportedly organised a group to encourage the actor to take partner Angelina Jolie and their four children elsewhere.

However, Pitt insisted that he has always maintained a good relationship with people living nearby, telling the New York Post: “This is the first I’ve heard of this, which tells me it’s mostly not true.

“I have lived and worked in the same location off and on since 1995 and have never had any problems with my neighbours, only paparazzi and those who peddle in sensationalism.”

The Brangelina brood has hit France, scouting locations for its next big project: Baby-delivering.

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and all four kids are holed up in Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen’s Villa Maryland in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat on the French Riviera.

The family arrived early Monday night via private jet at Nice airport with two nannies and three security guards says an onlooker.

As E! News first reported last month, Angelina is due this summer and plans on having her baby in France.

“It’s a breathtaking villa with views out over the Mediterranean [Sea] and they have roughly 12 staff on hand at all times to get them anything they need,” says a source.

“They’ve stayed there before and love the house, it’s very private and no one can see in.
