He's thinner, he's better looking, he's younger. But you asked me if I had anyone who could play me in a movie ... why not go for Brad Pitt???"

By Sanskrity Sinha | Jan 30, 2012 08:07 AM EDT The 18th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG), held in Los Angeles on Sunday, witnessed quite a few A-list celebrities walking down the red carpet. Some of the more famous celebrities present were actors George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Octavia Spencer. While the award winners were cheered by everyone around, Hollywood's "power couple" Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie stole the show with their everlasting charm and media following. The duo seems to be the most photographed celebrity couple at any gala, much less one that honors performances in television and motion pictures across different categories. Jolie wore a floor-length black colored Jenny Packham gown that revealed her tattoos rather nicely and made her look elegant and slim, while Pitt sported a spruced look in a black suit. The couple reportedly kept holding hands and also shared kisses during the evening. Check out the pictures of "Brangelina...

But if you think Brad Pitt always gets the star treatment, think again. Turns out when it came to the movie "Moneyball," a lot of people said NO to Brad Pitt: "Our production was like, you know, the red-headed stepchild on the lot. "This movie died on the vine, or almost died on the vine several times. Actually DID die, and we had to resuscitate it!"

"Blogger Karen Dalton-Beninato sent me this beautiful picture of the project Brad Pitt is working on..." Five years ago, Arianna Huffington posted my husband's photo of pink tents in a planned green community in New Orleans. That was two years post Hurricane Katrina levee failures, and it often felt like New Orleans was stuck in neutral. It was 2007 and the 9th Ward still looked like an overgrown prairie strewn with concrete slabs, all that was left of most houses near the Industrial Canal. Residents were coming back to FEMA trailers, if they could get one, and gutted out homes. In the years since then, Make It Right NOLA has assembled a living study in sustainable architecture for returning residents. "After Hurricane Katrina, many people said the Lower 9th Ward could not be rebuilt, but the spirit of the Lower Ninth and its residents is vibrant and resilient," Brad Pitt recently said through his Foundation. "Today, the neighborhood is growing and alive w...

Brad Pitt can relaxhe wont be competing against himself in the best picture race. At least, not as a producer. The actor already has been nominated as a producer of Moneyball, in which he stars, but on Friday the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences did not include Pitt as one of the four credited producers on the best picture selection The Tree of Life, in which he also stars. When Oscar nominations were announced Tuesday morning, the academy said the Tree of Life credits had not been finalized. When the film was released theatrically, five producers were listed in its credits: Pitt, his business partner Dede Gardner, director Terrence Malicks longtime collaborator Sarah Green, financier Bill Pohlad and Grant Hill, a veteran of Malicks The Thin Red Line. The academy, following standards set by the Producers Guild of America, typically limits best picture nominees to no more than three producers, a consequence of the producer stampede when 1998s Shakespeare in Love won the top O...

Brad Pitt will look to take home a trophy when the annual Screen Actors Guild awards air on Sunday, January 29. Pitt is nominated for his role in " Moneyball " and will hope to get some momentum for the Oscars by winning the SAG award. While Pitt was definitely impressive in the movie, this role won't go down as one of his best ever. Here is a look at the five best movie roles in the career of Brad Pitt. 1. Jeffrey - " 12 Monkeys " This movie gave Pitt his first Oscar nomination. He played a supporting role to Bruce Willis in this futuristic epic. It was a departure for Pitt. Instead of relying on his looks and smooth talk, he was scruffy and spoke at a rapid rate. The character was supposed to be crazy and Pitt definitely sold us on that. It's always nice to see an actor leave their comfort zone. 2. Louis - " Interview with the Vampire " This 1994 film sees Pitt play a wimpy type of vampire opposite the much more evil Tom Cruise . While the mov...

Pitt added: "I used to deal with depression, but I don't now, not this decade maybe last decade. But that's also figuring out who you are. I see it as a great education, as one of the seasons or a semester: 'This semester I was majoring in depression.'
