Brad Pitt developing Holocaust movie

Brad Pitt is developing a new movie about the Holocaust. The 'Moneyball' actor is currently working on a feature based on Edwin Black's New York Times bestselling book 'IBM and the Holocaust', which focuses on how Nazi Germany managed to kill so many Jews during World War II. The book is based on the true story of how IBM's 1933 chief ex ecutive Thomas Watson entered into a strategic alliance with the Nazis, which resulted in a punch card method of sorting through the data mined from years of German census results. The results then told the government - which was headed up by Adolf Hitler - where every Jewish person lived in Europe and they captured them and then sent them to concentration camps, where many were gassed to death. Brad's Plan B production company is shopping the project around, and sources say he has attached himself to star in the project in order to attract directors.

Obviously Brad Pitt is a man with impeccable taste, but last night our love reached new highs after we found out he was getting a bit of Byker Grove action in his life. Professionally speaking, of course. Brad has been filming Ridley Scotts new film The Counselor with ex Byker Grove type Donna Air. Who knew? And shes also been rubbing her showbiz shoulders with Cameron Diaz too, who co-stars with Brad in the film. Cripes. Speaking at the nice (and literally very green) Gordon's Gin Limited Edition, Ten Green Bottles Launch Party last night (and here she is, above, with actress Emilia Fox), Donna said, I loved filming with Brad. It really was a dream come true. We bet it was. But in the grand scheme of Byker Grove-related things, its Spuggy we feel sorry for. But surely its only a matter of time before someone plonks her in a pop video pop stars, make this happen please. It would make us very happy indeed.

Wow. In the annals of regrettably stupid things to say out loud, Pitt is right up there now with 'legitimate rape' or Christina Aguilera's questions about the location of the Cannes Film Festival. Said Mr. Pitt. "America is a country founded on guns. It's in our DNA. It's very strange but I feel better having a gun. I really do. I don't feel safe, I don't feel the house is completely safe, if I don't have one hidden somewhere. That's my thinking, right or wrong. I got my first BB gun when I was in nursery school.

He adds, "That opens up a vacuum for really interesting new filmmakers to come in, it's a really interesting time... You take the roles for the roles and you've just got to balance economics like everyone does." Tom Cruise was recently named by Forbes magazine as Hollywood's best-paid actor, wit...
