The Jolie-Pitts hit Sin City!

On the eve of Brad Pitt's 48th birthday, the actor and his partner Angelina Jolie took their six kids -- Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5 and twins Vivienne and Knox, 3 -- to see Cirque de Soleil's staging of Michael Jackson: THE IMMORTAL World Tour Saturday.

"The artists were pleasantly surprised by this unannounced visit," a source tells Us Weekly.

Hopefully the weekend outing will help up the famous parents' cool quotient, since Jolie has said her children don't consider them to be hip, despite their A-list status.
