Brad Pitt is Dad Of The Year according to a Life & Style Father’s Day poll. "He even skipped the Cannes Film Festival in anticipation of Shiloh’s birth," said L&S’s editor in chief Debra Birnbaum. Above: Brad was spotted chatting on his cell phone this past Monday from the balcony of his Malibu mansion. And then just yesterday, Brad whizzed down the streets of Los Angeles on his custom-made motorcycle with a pal of his. More pictures in the gallery!

Pitt Outbids DiCaprio
It was a battle between Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, and Pitt emerged the winner.
The production labels of the two stars — Pitt’s Plan B and DiCaprio’s Appian Way — were engaged in a competitive bidding war through their respective studios, Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures, over an upcoming zombie horror book by Max Brooks titled "World War Z."
By Wednesday afternoon, the dust settled with Plan B/Paramount winning the movie rights.
In 2003, Brooks wrote "Zombie Survival Guide," which explained in great deadpan detail how to survive a supposedly impending zombie apocalypse. The book went on to become a surprise cult hit.
"World War Z" also tackles the zombie genre but is set 10 years after a great global zombie epidemic and is a serious oral history of the zombie future told from many perspectives around the world. Crown Publishing is putting the book out in the fall.
The galleys of the book went out around town late last week, but interest took awhile to ignite. By the time execs finally realized they had a potential "tentpole" franchise, the battle lines were drawn between Plan B and Appian Way.
The bidding went back and forth between the two into Tuesday night and carried over into Wednesday. Sources say the rights sold for six figures, with the deal going to seven figures if the film actually gets made.
Brooks was a writer on "Saturday Night Live" from 2001 to 2003 and did voice work on the "Justice League" cartoon series.
There are said to be no hard feelings between the companies, and DiCaprio is starring in "The Departed," the Martin Scorsese crime drama that Pitt and his Plan B are producing. [THR]

# 221 | Agnieszka | - I was doing the samething too, looking for new pictures and stories, so you are not alone. Good Night A., talk to you manana
# 213 | alero You’re right. No matter how much they ***** about Angelina or say they don’t care, they still talk about her. I think what really facinates people is that she is able to just carry on her life the way she wants to. She want her baby to born in Namibia. Then the baby will be born in Namibia. She wants to fly while pregnant, then she will fly pregnant. She wants to ride motorcycles, she does. There doesn’t seem to be much complaints from her. She is able to make things happen rather than planning them out all the time and never getting to do them. This is what intrigues people. If anyone one else was in the position Angie is in, they would have lost their minds and their tempers. Angie on the other hand seems still very calm, collective, and unfazed by everything. She is a strong woman unlike ….oh never mind…you all know who. I won’t go there.

This is part of a story on "Celebrity Lobbyists" on Forbes site …..Here are the five most notable celebrity lobbyists in the past year, according to Capitol Hill staffers, lobbyists and nonprofit officials who spoke to Forbes:– Angelina Jolie’s crusade for the world’s less fortunate is moving Congress closer to committing 10% of total U.S. AIDS-relief funding for orphans under 18. Jolie, who D.C. insiders say was this past year’s "most effective activist" among movie stars, held private meetings with several powerful committee chairmen, including a testy one with staunch law-and-order conservative Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., about the legal rights of unaccompanied alien minors.– Bono’s lobbying of President George W. Bush and the religious right wing of Congress played a role in the U.S.’s forgiving $600 million of foreign-aid debt. In October, he spent 90 minutes with Bush at the White House to discuss world trade and foreign aid.– Actress and AIDS activist Ashley Judd chatted up Sen. **** Lugar, R-Ind., and his Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 2005, on the need to develop an HIV vaccine for Africa. — Actor Don Cheadle–who starred in the movie Hotel Rwanda, which depicted that country’s 1994 civil war–joined five members of Congress on a fact-finding mission to learn about refugees in Sudan last year.– Television and stage actress Fran Drescher testified in May 2005 at a hearing on gynecological disorders organized by Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa. Drescher’s lobbying helped pass the Gynecologic Cancer Education and Awareness Act of 2005, which authorized the secretary of health and human services to initiate a national campaign to increase women’s awareness and knowledge of gynecological cancers. It also requires the secretary to award grants for demonstration projects to test different outreach and education strategies to increase women’s and health care providers’ awareness and knowledge of gynecological cancers.
Okay cool, so you should be able to see it then. What time is it in Canada now? # 232 | Alexanderina>>>it’s 12:40am
^^^in Toronto it’s 12:40am
There is a BIG disconnect between what people are saying on TV and what people are thinking. People magazine with Shiloh’s pictures are sold out in many places, Shiloh’s shirt sells out. People want to talk about Brad and Angelina yet they say they don’t like them. Their movie, MAMS was huge at the box office. Magazines put Jolie on the coverr of so many magz. She is always on the top of some list. Brad is still loved by his family. Angelina’s family is happy. Maddoz, Zahara, and Shiloh look healthy (touchwood) and carefree. They play like normal kids and smile. Angelina’s birth went fine despite reports that it would be dangerous to give birth there. Brad looks so content in the People magazine pictures. He looks like he is doing his thing and supporting Angelina while she does her thing. They got to their home in Malibu without anyone seeing them. What the hell is the media so hung up on? Why do they pick on them constantly?
X’s thread veers between obnoxious/pathetic—giddy speculation that she’s pregnant! She’s engaged! She has a belly! She has a diamond! One dimbulb asked which hand an engagement ring should go on–left or right. No personal experience in THAT kind of jewelry, I guess.
# 236 | Somalian | - So you guys are in the same time zone as New York(Eastern Time Zone), so it should come on at the same time as in New York
# 238 | oh come on! Lmao.
# 230 | AlexanderinaHey Alexanderina, I’m okay. Not as active today, but just checking in off and on. How about you? Not jumping on couches, trashing Brooke Shields, keeping your wife on a short leash, trying to convert other celebrities to a science fiction "religion" are you?
Hey somalian…are you from Toronto. I am from Mississauga just outside Toronto. I know there’s another one from the Toronto area in this thread too. I think her user name is "*me*". Welcome!
I heard from someone who used to work in HW that those scientologist are persistent. They invite you into a seminar and then lock the doors till its over. They don’t leave you alone. If Tom gets anywhere near Brad or Angie, I hope they kick his butt!
Good BAMZSers. Know that I have the image of Tom’s butt being kicked I can go to sleep happily. lol. Sweet dreams. =)
Hey somalian…are you from Toronto. I am from Mississauga just outside Toronto. I know there’s another one from the Toronto area in this thread too. I think her user name is "*me*". Welcome! # 242 | ANISTON THE HAG!>>i live in the west mall. Hi to my canadain sistaaaaas. Oh by the By>>>>love your user name..hehehehehe.off topic are going to the MMVA on the 18th?
# 241 | cindy2 | - lol, I will leave that to Crazy Tom. I am good, just had a crazy day at work, but otherwise things are good
# 237 | GOD help me.I have two theories on that. One- those people are jealous.Two- I just forgot what it was.. Three- oh, yeah, they are simply jealous.No, seriously. I think that’s the conservative part of America where people hide their true feelings and cover up their natural desires for happiness. Publically they stick to the conservative values/outlook/views because thats how they think they should talk, because of the conservative society. We foreigners in America after living here for some time, see that disparity between reality and the artificial set of rules everyone is supposed to adhere to. I don’t mean legal stuff but in the moral aspect. Not even ethics because Americans have a strong sense of ethics, the majority at least and thats good. But the moral part is tricky. Take Cliton..;)
# 238 | oh come on! LOL.# 245 | stardust Sweet dreams# 218 | Ciev |Hey there!! thanks. You aced your final?? that’s greeeeeeeeaaaattttttt!!!
this somalian is off the bed ladies and gents.Goodnight YA’all.
# 233 | julia - thank you! Julia- you definitely should post more often. We don’t see you as much :)continued from #248 (lol thats my area code):I meant to say that those people who buy out magazines with BAMZS pix, surf internet for news and their pix but openly talk against them are the closeted liberals in the skin of conservative views living in the conservative world. The red state people in short (no offense to liberals in the red states).:)
