Brad Pitt supports same-sex marriage in Maryland

Mega-star Brad Pitt lent his glitter to the proponents of same-sex marriage in Maryland today, giving $25,000 to the campaign for Question 6. The donation is part of a $100,000 gift to the Human Rights Campaign, a national organization that is promoting same-sex marriage in all four states where it is on the ballot. It comes at a good time for supporters, who reported last week they have only $22,000 in the bank . Pitt is the latest in a lengthy list of bold faced names who are supporting Maryland's same-sex marriage effort. A fundraiser held in New York City earlier this year included so many A-listers that one insider said it was like being at a "petting zoo for celebrities." Pitt and his fiancee Angelina Jolie are longtime supporters of same-sex marriage and once said they would not marry until it is legal in all 50 states. Pitt's mother, however, has publicly taken the opposite position. She wrote a letter to editor of the News-Leader in Virginia expressing her ...

The engaged actor -- who has famously said he will not wed until lesbian, gay, bisexual and transexual people can marry -- donated $100,000 to the Human Rights Campaign to further support their efforts in making marriage legal for all. PHOTOS: Stars who haven't wed...yet! "It's unbelievable to me that people's lives and relationships are literally being voted on in a matter of days," Angelina Jolie 's fiance said in an email to HRC members on Oct. 31, just days before the Nov. 6 election. "If you're like me, you don't want to have to ask yourself on the day after the election, 'What else could I have done?'" In an effort to raise additional funds for marriage equality campaigns nationwide -- including those in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington -- Pit...

Brad Pitt films in old Viagra factory

Image
Home > News > hollywood-news London, Oct 30 (IANS) Actor Brad Pitt's new movie is being filmed in an old Viagra factory. He has been on location at the former headquarters of the chemical company Pfizer in Sandwich, Kent in England for the movie World War Z. The cast and crew have been jokingly looking for leftover pills. "The lads on the set have been joking about the location raising more than eyebrows. The cast have been opening cupboards looking for leftovers to take home with them," showbizspy.com quoted a source as saying. Sources say the Pitt and partner Angelina Jolie have come to blows over his drug and drinking issues. Jolie fears that he'll cheat on her and her verbal abuse of their beloved children. "Even though Brad denies up and down that he's still using drugs, Angie is convinced that he's secretly abusing pot and possibly other drugs behind her back," a source said. "She's also turned off by his excessive drinking. B...

Here's How Chanel Tried To Fix Brad Pitt's Horrendous Ad

After Brad Pitt's nonsensical spot for Chanel No.5 was skewered by people with eyes and ears eventually inevitably skewered in a series of SNL sketches Chanel re-edited the original ad to be more ... well ... bearable. Although the pseudo-intellectual ravings about the world turning "and we turn with it" is the same, the visuals are different. Now instead of watching Brad Pitt awkwardly jerk his way through an enigmatic monologue, refusing to make eye contact with a rapidly nearing camera lens, viewers are treated to images of beautiful women staring out windows, spinning, and walking on water. While part two is cryptic as part one, it is certainly less uncomfortable. Who knew that showing less of Brad Pitt would improve a commercial? Watch the spot here: And in case you missed it, here's the original, directed by Joe Wright:

Brad Pitts Chanel No. 5 advert message more nonsensical than inevitable: Von Hahn

Image
Chanel Brad Pitt istars in the new Chanel No. 5 ad. What is the face of a perfume? Literally speaking, it might be the front of the pretty bottle its packaged in, but the controversial debut of Brad Pitt as the first male face of Chanel No. 5 does prompt the deeper question. What does a scent look like? Does it best resemble its aspirations? Or, more likely, does the mere image of still-pretty boy Pitt, at 48, motivate women intently curious as to what the actor himself smells like, to go out and buy more Chanel No. 5? Clearly the folks at Chanel, who reap a coolness bump just for hiring a man for the gig previously held by the likes of such divinities as Ali MacGraw, Lauren Hutton, Nicole Kidman, Vanessa Paradis and Audrey Tautou, think the latter. According to Hollywoodgossip.com, Pitt is being paid something in the neighbourhood of seven figures to intone with grave seriousness, in a black and white video directed by Atonement filmmaker Joe Wright released to mass confusion on You...

Text Size: A Small Text A Medium Text A Large Text nbc.com/saturday-night-live nbc.com/saturday-night-live (CNN) Brad Pitt's original Chanel No. 5 commercial was funny enough, but "Saturday Night Live" of course had to join those mocking the actor's uber-serious take on the women's fragrance. Taran Killam was the night's Brad Pitt lookalike, with shoulder-length locks and a scruffy beard. The "SNL" actor even matched Pitt's rambling tone as he droned on about journeys, the world turning and plans disappeari! ng. It all sounded very familiar, until Killam veered off: "And then dreams wake up and smile at reality ... I'm sorry, is there really no script?" he cracked. "I've been talking to myself for, like, two hours straight and I'm starting to sound insane." And was it just him, he asked, "or do I look super homeless?" The skit, in which Killam also promoted Taco Bell and dog condoms, was part of an over...
