"When I was a teenager, I saw Saturday Night Fever at our drive-in, but it wasn't the dancing that electrified me. It was the life and culture in Brooklyn. I'm from Missouri, the southern part of the Midwest in the U.S., and I never heard families talk that way to each other. From that point on, I wanted out to see more of the country and of life."-- Brad Pitt, to German magazine Stern, on how John Travolta's dancing masterpiece made him want to be worldly
Go Brooklyn!
Attention stoners!
If you're looking for someone to roll a stellar doobie for your next smoked up party, why not call Brad Pitt?
Though Angelina Jolie's man says he's quit smoking pot since having kids, Bill Maher reminisced with Brad about back in the day -- you know, when he was a little more, um, high on life.
Bill reminded Brad of a New Year's party they both attended, in which Brad rolled "the perfect joint," calling him "a machine."
An embarrassed Brad admitted, "I'm an artist."
So, Brad can roll for your party, but he won't be toking with you.
"I'm a dad now. You want to be alert and my eyes used to glaze over when I did that," he told Bill during his interview on Real Time with Bill Maher.
Watch the cute clip above and tell me if you think Bill is right -- no matter what Brad does, will America always love him?
Don't start campaigning for Brad Pitt just yet. This morning, Brad appeared on the Today show and spoke with Ann Curry about his future in politics. Since he has been spending so much time in New Orleans helping the victims of Hurricane Katrina, Ann asked him if he would be running for mayor anytime soon.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm running on the gay marriage, no religion, legalization and taxation of marijuana platform," Brad joked. "I don't have a chance."
Ann didn't seem satisfied with his response, so she reiterated the question a few more times. Brad, however, remained firm.
"I don't have a chance," he repeated.
Would you vote for Brad to be the mayor of your town?
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie couldn't keep their hands off each other at Monday night's Hollywood premiere of Inglourious Basterds. Angie was there supporting her man's new flick, and the pair seemed deliriously happy together.
What's their secret? Well, for starters, Brad says they "rarely, rarely" fight.
"We both have been around long enough and have been in enough relationships to know what we want out of it (and) when we're wasting time," he said.
At the premiere, Extra asked Angelina about Brad's recent interview with Parade (you know, the one where he said that the secret stone grotto behind the waterfall in his pool is "a great place for sex").
"Yeah, well, we got a few special places," she answered coyly. "You keep it going."
And in response to Brad's quote about her being his soul mate? "That is very cool," she admitted. "Well, he's mine. It is what it is."
Look at Parade getting all the dishy dish from Brad Pitt!
The actor held very little back while talking to the mag about his life with Angelina Jolie, his kids, his dabbling into the world of pot smoking and gay marriage.
What we've come to realize about this blue-eyed looker is that, when he's passionate about something, there's no holding him back. Here's some of the best excerpts from this new interview:
What he wants for his children: "Would it bother me if a child of mine turns out to be gay? No, not one bit. Listen, I want my kids to live the lives they want to live. I want them to be fulfilled. I hope I teach my kids to be who they really are."
His love for Angie and if they'll get married: "I have love in my life, a soul mate--absolutely. When someone asked me why Angie and I don't get married, I replied, 'Maybe we'll get married when it's legal for everyone else.' I stand by that, although I took a lot of flak for saying it--hate mail from religious groups. I believe everyone should have the same rights. They say gay marriage ruins families and hurts kids. Well, I've had the privilege of seeing my gay friends being parents and watching their kids grow up in a loving environment."
The right to love anyone you please: "Man, I resent people telling others how to live! It drives me mental! Just the other night, I heard this TV reverend say that Angie and I were setting a bad example because we were living out of wedlock, and people should not be duped by us! It made me laugh. What damn right does anyone have to tell someone else how to live if they're not hurting anyone? How many times do you think real love comes to someone in a lifetime? If you're lucky, maybe two or three."
How he's evolved into Brad the Dad: "My life has been about big changes. It's always been that way. When I go down a path, I take it to the end. Then I take another one. I took the path of not having kids--now it's time for family. Children are a dominant value in my life now, and they weren't before. They were always something I thought I'd get around to having when the time was right. It wasn't what I was really seeking. In a way, I think I had to go and exhaust me before I could be good at being a parent. This family is full of life! There are laughs, aggravations, irritations, but at the end of the day, it's fun. When life is really good, it's messy."
Starting out in Hollywood: "I liked to smoke a bit of grass at the time, and I became very sheltered. Then I got bored. I was turning into a damn doughnut, really. So I moved as far away from that as I could. I was done. In Missouri, where I come from, we don't talk about what we do--we just do it. If we talk about it, it's seen as bragging."
Building his dream house: "This was my first architectural experience where I tried doing something myself. It is something I wanted to do for decades. This is like play to me. It's the only thing that can take me away from any problems I may have. After a few years of work, it came out so nice. Now I've got so many damn kids, it's the only place we could all fit in. We're double-bunking rooms as it is."
"You know Shia [La Beouf] is the new Tom Hanks, Rihanna is the new Beyonce. Everybody is the new somebody although none of us are any of those people so you just walk around with it, you live with it."-- Megan Fox, on being referred to as "the new Angelina Jolie"
Brad Pitt may want us to believe that he's this big domesticated dad who shuts down for the night right around dinner time -- but that's not who Angie's man looked like Tuesday night.
After telling reporters at the Berlin premiere of Inglourious Basterds, "My partying ends at 6 p.m," Brad proceeded to break his own rules and party like the movie star he is. The gorgeous guy reportedly brought a beer into the screening of his own flick and continued to get his drink on at the afterparty, where he hung out with Quentin Tarantino and Diane Kruger.
We're not mad at ya, Brad. Everyone deserves to have a little fun now and then! It's nice to know he still has a bit of that Hollywood fever left in him. We say "drink up, Brad!"
Do you think he drunk dials Angelina when he gets back to the hotel?
Making this her third trip to Iraq since August 2007, Angelina Jolie arrived in the country Thursday to meet with displaced families.
A UNHRC Ambassador, Angie offered her support and hope that there would soon be a change for tons of people who have been uprooted from their homes in the district of Abu Ghraib.
"I want to come back and find you in a better place and in a different situation," she said. "We hope that UNHCR and the government will support you in getting a piece of land. You need help not because you are poor, but because you are the future of Iraq."
The actress says she's dedicated to seeing continued improvements.
"There are some changes. There are returns of displaced people, not a big number, but there is progress. This is a moment where things seem to be improving on the ground, but Iraqis need a lot of support and help to rebuild their lives."
Sometimes I forget that this is the same woman who was married to Billy Bob Thornton and wearing vials of blood around her neck.
You would think Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt would have some sort of extravaganza for their first birthday -- but you would be wrong.
Brad and Angelina kept it simple for their twins' big day with an intimate party just for the family. Brad's parents Bill and Jane Pitt flew in from Springfield, Mo., while Brangelina's older kids, Maddox, 7, Pax, 5, Zahara, 4, and Shiloh, 3 hit the kitchen and baked a cake for each of the twins.
It's kinda nice to hear. I'm tired of feeling like, if I don't have water slides and roller coasters in my backyard my kid's birthday, that I'm somehow cheating him. Thanks, Brangie.

Happy Birthday to the luckiest twins in the universe!
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's littlest bittys turn the big one today!!
Yes, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline have been living the good life since they made their debut on July 13, 2008. With lavish trips and homes -- and a life filled with anything their tiny little hearts could want, the Jolie-Pitt twins are one blessed set of star kiddies.
So, what could you possibly gift these little beautiful wonders?
You got me. I'd love to hear your thoughts, though. Go!
Sometimes don't you just want Jennifer Aniston to get one-up on Angelina Jolie?
Well, it's not going to be this time.
According to Forbes, Angelina tops the list of actresses earning the most cash by making $27 million last year. Coming in second, of course, is Jen, who almost caught Angie with $25 mil.
On a much-less interesting note, Meryl Streep came in third with $24 million, followed by Sarah Jessica Parker with $23 million and Cameron Diaz earning $20 mil.
Soooo close, Jen. Maybe next time.
Brad Pitt's mom thinks her son made a mistake when he left Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie.
Well, according to Now! magazine, anyway.
The mag says that Jane Pitt is still hoping that Brad and Jen find their way back to each other -- and that Mama Pitt isn't exactly thrilled with her son's latest choice in women.
"Jane's seen, first hand, how difficult Angelina is," a source revealed. "She never comes to visit the family in Missouri and is always prickly on the rare occasions they have got together. Jennifer was the total opposite -- charming, friendly and the perfect daughter-in-law. She always made time to be an active part of the family, whereas Angie just turns her nose up."
And it doesn't help that Jane and Jen are still very buddy-buddy.
"(Jen and Jane) speak at least a couple of times a week and Jen never misses a birthday or special occasion," the source said.
How crazy must that make Angelina?
Angelina Jolie was on hand to celebrate World Refugee Day in Washington on Thursday, where she spoke about her dedication to teaching her children about the world's problems -- and what they can do to help.
"Some of my kids are from countries that have seen conflict," Angie told CNN's Anderson Cooper. "I usually just explain to them that there are other families in the world that aren't as fortunate as ours and other kids and their mommies... are somewhere in a country that's not as safe.... So I tell them that it's important for all of us to do what we can and then go to these places and understand what's happening."
Brad Pitt's love says she's determined to give her brood first-hand knowledge as to what life is like outside of their very privileged box -- in hopes of making them "better people as they get older."
"They're just being raised that this is the normal thing to do," she said. "Hopefully I'll take them to as many countries as I can and raise them with an education of the world."
Dude, you've got to hand it to the Jolie-Pitts for setting some example for their children. I feel accomplished if I've managed to get through the day without saying a curse word in earshot of my son. Angie is on a whole different plane.
Just get in line and maybe Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will throw some cash your way, too.
The mega-generous couple's Jolie-Pitt Foundation has just donated a million dollars to the UN Refugee Agency, in order to help displaced people in Pakistan.
António Guterres, the head of the agency graciously thanked the couple for its donation, saying Pakistan's trouble is "the most challenging humanitarian crisis of the past decade."
Angie will be on hand for the celebration of World Refugee Day in Washington D.C. on Thursday, where she will talk about her experiences from her multiple visits to Pakistan.
This donation comes just a week after Brad and his fam donated the same amount to a hospital in Springfield, MO.
So, are we done badmouthing her yet?
The do-gooding just keeps on coming from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
The classy couple, along with the rest of Brad's family, have donated $1 million to a Missouri hospital.
Doug Pitt, Brad's brother, announced that they would be giving the cash to St. John's Hospital in Springfield, and that it will be used to establish an endowment fund to pay children's cancer specialists.
The hospital's cancer treatment unit will be renamed the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center, in honor of Brad's mom, who is a big advocate for children's issues.
St. John's is matching the generous donation, providing the hospital with the help to also build a new pediatric unit, a 10-bedroom hospital-based Ronald McDonald house and doubling the size of the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units.
It's stuff like this that just makes you proud to like certain celebs. It's such a nice change from one DUI story after another.
The new issue of Harper's Bazaar is delving into our psyches to try and uncover why we, as a society, are so obsessed with Angelina Jolie. Here's what writer Naomi Wolf came up with:- She's got Brad! "She took for her own pleasure the male seen as the most desired of the tribe," the author writes. "Brad Pitt, who is always ranked at the top of indexes of male beauty and virility."
- She's got kids! "Jolie revealed a new, and fairly radical, vision of single motherhood that made the relationship seem tender, glamorous, and complete.
- She can fly. "Flying a private plane is the classic metaphor for choosing your own direction. Usually, that is a guy thing to do, yet there was Jolie, with her aviator glasses on, taking flying lessons so she could blow the mind of her four-year-old son."
The mag writer believes that the world will continue to be intrigued by the beauty for years to come. "I for one will keep watching," she writes, "since Jolie's image is not just a mirror of one woman but also a looking glass for female fantasy life."
This is very interesting. What do you think about these reasons for the Angelina allure? Are you as infatuated as you used to be or is it waning? Discuss...
Not that you would ever believe anything the National Enquirer says -- unless you're in to alien babies and what-not, but, just to be clear, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are not breaking up.
The Enquirer is reporting that the Jolie-Pitts were going to announce an "official" split, and were about to face an "ugly court battle" over their $200 million fortune and custody of their six children. The rag says Brad and Angie had a huge fight at the Cannes premiere of Brad's new flick, Inglourious Basterds.
"They had lots of fun and looked so in love," a witness at the premiere refuted. "At one point, they were dancing."
A rep for the couple says the rumors of a split are "completely not true."
Another Brangie insider concurs, "They have their fights and moments, but generally things are good. They are happy -- and Brad loves being a father!"
All is well is Jolie-Pitt world, friends. No worries.
Well, this is a nice little birthday present for Angelina Jolie.
The female part of Brangelina has just topped Forbes magazines list of most powerful celebrities -- knocking Oprah off the throne!
According to the magazine, how much moolah you have is only one factor in determining who should have the most powerful celebrity honor. Angie reportedly earned around $27 million last year -- but, combine that with the abundance of attention and fame she possesses, and she's certainly got the power.
Oprah slipped to No. 2, followed by Madonna, Beyoncé, and Tiger Woods. And Jennifer Aniston came in at No. 8, beating out her ex, Brad Pitt, who ranked No. 9.
Which celebs made their debut on the list this year? My girl, Taylor Swift, came in at No. 69, while Toby Keith and Alec Baldwin also got some recognition. Even President Barack Obama got in on the action, coming in at No. 49.
Check out the full list here -- and see how your favorite celeb measures up.

Thursday, June 4, 2009 Venus Square Venus
What occurs now makes you more aware of what you need, feel and want in your relationships. If you are unhappy in your personal life, this is brought out now, and you'll need to face what is causing your dissatisfaction. Differences in personal style, tastes, and ways of expressing affection may emerge. You also feel amorous and loving, and if your personal life is going well, this is a time to really enjoy and appreciate it.
Do you think Angelina is unhappy in her personal life? Are she and Brad on the rocks? Or maybe she's dissatisfied because she wants even more children and hasn't had them yet? Or is it the second half of her reading that applies to her -- perhaps Angelina really is perfect and happy and the rest of us are all just her minions.
If that's not enough for you, check out this complete profile of Angelina, featuring her astrological specifics, likes and dislikes and her characteristics.

"No one knows that woman; she's a complete ice queen, which is perfect. Why should she be any more? She doesn't owe us anything."--- Evangeline Lilly, to Women's Health, on Angelina Jolie
There were so many stunning photos taken of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Cannes yesterday, that I had trouble deciding which one to post. But, between the composition of this pic -- how it simply captures one candid moment in Brangelina time -- combined with the massive amounts of leg that that Angie is showing, I couldn't pass this one up. It's just stunning.

Brad Pitt took a risk and donned a peach suit in Cannes yesterday, while promoting his new film Inglourious Bastards.
He and Angelina Jolie hosted a big fancy dinner for 60 of their closest colleagues, including director Quentin Tarantino, Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson (Pacey!) and Emile Hirsch. The celebs chowed on pasta with crayfish, ravioli with truffles, spaghetti with clams, and drank Dom Perignon.
"The dinner was a private event for the entire cast of Quentin Tarantino's film," a restaurant staffer said. "They all had a wonderful time. Angelina and Brad were lovely, the loveliest people I have ever met!"
Sounds fab -- but let's get down to the real question at hand. Does Brad pull off that suit? Could he wear a potato sack and look cool -- or would you have rather seen him in something a little more classic?
This is funny!
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's move to Long Island has sent the people of Oyster Bay into a frenzy. Local women everywhere are ditching their errand-running sweatpants for fancier duds, in the hopes of running into Brad at the local Dunkin Donuts.
"They are off the charts excited and everyone is dolled up, " one local told People.com. "The moms are trying to look a little bit more polished. Instead of schlepping in sweatpants and messy hair, now they wear designer jeans and high heels, which they never wear. Usually it's Tod's or Gucci loafers. Everyone is putting a little more effort. Let's face it - he's a handsome guy."
Brad is totally being Mr. Mom (while Angie films Salt), taking the kids to school, doing the grocery shopping -- even reading to Shiloh's class!
"At school, they think they are going to bump into him," says a local, of the moms. "Brad sits in the back of the classroom a lot. He is very unassuming and very sweet and nice."
And people can't believe how normal the movie stars are.
"Who would think they would see them grocery shopping, and not sending out the help?" says a source. "They are trying to teach their kids what's normal ... And they are always in the pizza parlor and Borders Books."
But, if seeing Brad isn't excitement enough, he had to go and bring George Clooney to town!
"I heard a woman screaming at Stop & Shop because the clerk was telling her George Clooney was at the Breakers," says the local source. "It startled me because she shrieked so loud. Then, a few women said they were going to go down there and see if they could run into Clooney."
I wonder if Brad whispered to George, "Watch this," as they walked in.
There's no doubt this would be a best seller.
A former bodyguard for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has been shopping around a tell-all memoir and TV show of his time with the stars -- which has caused the couple to move into defense mode.
According to the NY Daily News, Brangelina have hired lawyers in both the U.S. and the U.K. after hearing ex-watchman Mickey Brett's plan to sell some stories about their fam. Sources say that Mickey had plenty of lovely things to say about Angelina -- but Brad? Not so much.
Though this juicy book was going to focus on other stars Mickey had worked for, like Sandra Bullock, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere, most of the goods were on the Jolie-Pitt clan.
Lawyers for Brad and Angie are already discrediting the bodyguard, telling the paper that, not only is he bound by a confidentiality agreement, but that he had lied on his resume about his qualifications. Apparently, Mickey claimed to be a former British SAS commando -- as it turns out, he wasn't.
But Mickey's attorney blames the bad press on the book's ghostwriter, Robin McGibbon, who he says made the stories out to be juicier than they were to attract buyers. Robin, of course, denies that -- but it seems that Brad and Angelina's attorney's have taken a bit of the wind out of her sails.
"Mickey was definitely going to consider a book or TV deal if the offer was good enough," Robin told the Daily News, but at least for now, "there's not going to be any book."
No book? Booooo. Come on - that would be some kind of page-turner.
Okay, so we'll probably never know when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's "dating anniversary" is (they're so quiet about that we're lucky we got confirmation that it was sometime while they were making Mr. & Mrs. Smith), but we are aware that it was just about four years ago that these two bit the bullet and stepped out publicly as a couple.
So, four years later, six children later, Brad and Angelina still tell us a trip down the aisle isn't happening anytime soon. Angie has said that she and B will make it official when it seems important to their kiddies, while Brad has insistsed they'll say their "I dos" when "everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able."
Meanwhile, the supercouple have gone all suburban, and are hanging out locally in the Long Island town of Oyster Bay, N.Y. And, obviously they are causing a stir!
"When you talk to someone who has met them they're kind of glowing," Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto told People.com. "People love saying they saw them. They feel something very special happened to them."
Brad and Angie have been everywhere in the town, from Stop & Shop to Dunkin' Donuts to CVS, and seemed to have left a good impression on the residents.
"The reaction across the board seems to be, 'Wow, they're very nice people.' It seems that people like them and like having them here."
Nice -- and pretty.
"They looked out of place because they were so beautiful," said Stop & Shop manager Katherine Pastore said of Brangie, who picked up some chow at her store. "They looked like they were airbrushed when they were walking. I went up to Brad and asked if he needed help and he said, 'No thanks.' I was looking at him but I don't really remember it - it was like a dream."
So funny. Maybe Brad and Angelina will like the Island so much that they'll get married there!
What do you think -- will they or won't they? Should Hollywood's reigning king and queen make it official? Note to Maddox, Zahara, Pax, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox -- your votes count, too!

Now this is exciting!
I have been waiting years to finally have something in common with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie -- and now I have found it! We all shop at Stop & Shop!
That's right -- Brangelina ducked into a Long Island, NY S&S on Saturday afternoon -- with two of their kids in tow. The supercouple took Zahara and Shiloh grocery shopping -- just like normal people.
"They were here for 30 minutes and left," Monira Ahmed, an employee at the store said. "They were very friendly. They gave autographs and allowed people to take pictures of them inside...very nice."
The Jolie-Pitts are hanging in the New York suburbs while Angie films her latest movie, Salt.
All of a sudden I'm feeling pretty good about having to go food shopping today.
It was just too quiet on the Angelina baby front...
Here we go again! Star magazine is reporting that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are expecting. An insider tells the mag that Angie is knocked up, with what will be their seventh child.
"Yes, Angie is pregnant," a family insider tells Star. "They'd been trying for another baby for months, but it was still a total shock when she found out. Brad and Angie have been fighting so much lately, it just didn't seem possible."
Especially since Star just reported that they were sleeping in separate bedrooms after Angie caught Brad comforting the nanny.
"It happened just in time, because things were getting pretty ugly between them," says one source.
The mag says Angie is about two and a half months along and is just over the moon at the thought of another little one.
"She's thrilled. She said she knew she was pregnant before the test confirmed it!" Star's source said.
I don't know, peeps. You have to take this with a very big grain of salt.
This made me laugh.
Though I have to admit that I do feel bad about Madonna's disappointment over not getting to adopt Mercy James, this SNL skit is freakin' funny. It has the Material Girl being taunted by Angelina Jolie over how many babies she and Brad have. And every time they said "baby" I just found myself giggling.
Check it out.
