All Brad Pitt Posts

Despite its awkward spelling, Quentin Tarantino's latest film, Inglourious Basterds, kicked ass and took names at the box office on its opening weekend. The WWII film, starring Brad Pitt, took in an impressive $37.6 million in ticket sales with its debut over the weekend.

This weekend's opening marks the best ever for director, Quentin. A box office analyst for Hollywood.com interprets that as follows: "Tarantino helped build the house of Miramax. He's proving right now that he's helping to build the house of Weinstein."

It seems Quentin's insistence on casting Brad Pitt was a smart move. He might be able to save the A-listers from oblivion after all!

The celebrities were in full force at the Cinema Society and Hugo Boss screening of Inglorious Basterds. Everyone from Quentin Tarantino to Lindsay Lohan to Chace Crawford came out for the show and showed off themselves.

Quentin just couldn't stop talking about Brad Pitt. Seriously. It's like he wants Brad for himself or something. "For the most part when we were on set he would stay in character," Quentin told reporters. "It was like, 'Why drop the accent when you don't have to?' And I have always liked it when actors do that."

In case you don't know, Brad plays Lieutenant Aldo Raine in the film set against the back drop of WWII with Aldo, a nice Southern boy, hunting Nazi with his Nazi hunter party. Brad went totally method on this one. He was in character from the moment he got on set to the moment he left and Quentin ate it up. "He'd get into Aldo's mindset and stay there. He could be Brad and make a Brad joke but it was always in Aldo's dialect. Aldo is more crude than Brad. So that allowed Brad to go all the way with that. It was wonderful as a writer to be confronted by my character all day, and to talk to him and ask questions."

While Quentin was busy gushing about Brad, my eyes obviously went to newly hired and recently blonded Lindsay. It seems like she's not doing a good job of keeping that blonde hair up. I'm seeing lots of red roots and it's not cute. Not at all. Lindsay, I thought we talked about this. If you're going to go blonde and look ridiculous, at least manage it better. Thank you.

Most of the celebs at the event looked pretty good though. Chace looked gorgeous as usual. It's like he some sort of super god that was put on this earth so we mere mortals can gawk at his beauty. Right? The other stars of Inglorious Basterds looked lovely as well. Check them out! Brad was a no show though. Maybe all the talk about how amazing freaked him out. Anyone else notice how weird he gets when talking about himself? Watch this interview and you'll see what I mean. Now if you'll excuse me, Quentin is calling. He wants to tell me how much he loves me. Haha. I wish.

Whoa, that was a close call people. London's Daily Mirror reported that Brad Pitt was set to join the cast of Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, but Us Weekly has debunked the rumor.

According to the rumor, Brad was set to arrive in London this week and shoot scenes as Sherlock Holmes nemesis Moriarty. The original report said the Guy decided to add Brad after seeing first cut of the film.

All of this is completely false though, which kinda makes me happy. The studio told Us, "The report in today's London Mirror is completely inaccurate. Brad Pitt is not joining the cast of Sherlock Holmes and we're extremely pleased with the production of the film. As planned, it will be released on Christmas Day, 2009. In order to complete the movie, we've scheduled a few days on set to shoot a couple of additional scenes, obtain pick-up shots, and perfect some of the visual effects elements, all of which is standard filmmaking practice."

Maybe they decided not to use him for fear that he would roll some perfect joints and Robert Downey Jr. wouldn't be able to contain himself. That would just not be good for the film, now would it? I'm quite happy he's not going to be in the movie. I feel like he wouldn't have made it work at this stage in his career. Maybe like ten years ago, I could totally see him in something like this, but not right now.

Know what I can see him as? Mayor of New Orleans. He needs to not be all "oh no being the mayor isn't for me" and get off his ass and run. But can someone tell him to shave the goatee? I'm just utterly upset by it. Thank you.

Brad Pitt was a guest on Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday, and Bill got Brad to talk like Brad has never talked before. Bill got Brad to talk about his joint rolling technique, his PR invincibility, his stances on gay marriage, and life at home with the kids.

As for his joint rolling technique, Pitt said, "I'm an artist." It's an art that he doesn't practice anymore though. "I'm a dad now. You want to be alert and my eyes used to glaze over when I did that," he told Maher.

Do you think Brad has really quit pot smoking? Sound off in the comments.

Part two of the interview is after the jump.

A best friend is obviously one of the most important people in a person's life and that's why today we are celebrating Best Friends Day. I have a best friend, you have a best friend, he has best friend, she has a best friend... even celebrities have that one special person in their life.

Although people in New Orleans love him and would gladly vote for him, Brad Pitt has written off the rumor that he is going to run for mayor. In an interview with NBC's Today, Brad talked about his charity Make It Right, which works to build hopes for the displaced victims of Hurricane Katrina.

He said he would serve if chosen, but he quickly followed that up with "I don't have a chance." What platform would he be running on? "I'm running on the gay marriage, no religion, legalization and taxation of marijuana platform." I like it. I'd vote for you.

Make It Right is in the process of reaching it's goal of 150 homes rebuilt by the end of 2010, but Brad is still frustrated that he can't do even more for the city. Don't worry Brad, I'm sure the 150 homes you built, plus the fact that major architect Frank Gehry will be designing things, still makes you the most popular person in New Orleans.

Brad has been looking so distinguished recently with the graying and the goatee. I don't know if I like it or now. I do like that he's going to be on Real Time With Bill Maher though. That should be fun. Maybe he'll reveal even more places that he and partner Angelina Jolie like to have sex. I feel like that's the only thing the two of them will ever tell us about. Oh well.

Make sure to go after the jump to watch the video of Brad's Today interview. It's a good one. Trust me.

One of my favorite shows is finally going to have one of my favorite people as a guest. Bill Maher will be hosting actor Brad Pitt, Twitter King Ashton Kutcher and writer Dana Gould this Friday night on Real Time With Bill Maher.

HBO's satire salon that dissects the headlines and encourages robust exchanges continues its seventh season in prime time on Friday, August 14 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT), with an instant replay at 11:00 p.m. following the live presentation.

I know Ashton is always a very animated guest, and Dana Gould can be hilarious. It will be interesting to see how Brad and his grey beard come off.

The hunky Eric Bana and the exquisite Rachel McAdams play star-crossed lovers whose lives intersect across a lifetime in The Time Traveler's Wife, based on the best-selling Audrey Niffenegger novel. They hit the red carpet in New York City for the premiere of the film.

Rachel talked to Entertainment Tonight about time travel being a crucial element of the plot, but it was the timeless romance of the story that hooked her.

"I love 'Back to the Future' -- if I had to pick a time-travel film that was pretty great, that would be it. But I didn't have an intense fascination with time travel [before making the movie]. It was more that I read the book and time travel was just a unique element of a really great love story."

"I just saw it as a device to arrange these two characters [who are] apart who are really wanting to be together," agrees Eric, "and it was very moving as a result."

After Brad Pitt told Parade magazine that the secret grotto behind the waterfall of his pool was a "great place for sex" with partner Angelina Jolie, a nation couldn't stop fantasizing about them; and good luck stopping now.

At the premiere of Brad's new movie Inglourious Basterds, Angelina revealed to The Sun that it was just one of many secret places the two like to get it on. "We've got a few special places, you know? You keep it going." Brad laughed and added, "It's not true. We have far more comfortable places to go."

But ready for the best part of their sex grotto? Jimi Hendrix probably had sex there. "The rumor is Jimi Hendrix spent some time there," Brad said. "That's the story. I run with it." Brangelina would have sex in the same place as Jimi Hendrix.

Hopefully now that the twins are walking they won't walk in on mommy and daddy. I don't care how hot one's parents are, that can be traumatizing. Although probably not more traumatizing than seeing a weird sculpture of your mom breast feeding you. Oh Brad and Angie, you guys never fail to entertain me.

We brought you photos of Angelina Jolie (who wore a form-fitting strapless black leather Michael Kors dress and Dior heels) and Brad Pitt attending the premiere of Inglourious Basterds last night, but we didn't share the news about their one-year-old twins. "The twins are great. They're walking," Angelina told Life & Style.

Brad told them "I hope to get all of my kids involved [in humanitarian efforts]. I hope to raise them properly so that they have a good conscience, and they're good people."

And what about expanding the Jolie-Pitt clan? "Angelina laughed off questions about whether she planned to have more children," says Life & Style's reporter.

Oh yeah, there are definitely more Jolie-Pitt's coming.
