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]

it’s sad that something so celebratory like #1 dad for Brad can give discontent people a platform to hurl derogatory remarks against him and his family…i know it’s all subjective and personal, but c’mon! with everything they have done to better this unforgiving world, i would prefer to focus on the good they’ve done together, rather than the speculations of what happened in the past

"I dont think u people realize why people hate this woman and insult her children and Brad."# 8 | Lesliei don’t think there should be any excuse made for so-called people who have the nerve to insult children. most people with a good mind of their own, like myself, will not let others persuade how we feel about anyone or anything. we can make our own good judgements.

#22- okay- I didn’t mind her before but her fans completely turned me against her. Now I can’t stand JA or her fans.Lol- same here! Before I knew about JJ, I was indifferent to JA. But BAMZS fans turned me against her and I do NOT like her one bit!Even better, they made me love BAMZS even more. For the most part I wasn’t interested in celebrities at all but now I am but only in BAMZS. I don’t give a damn about others.

Brad makes me think sinful thoughts and I like it.

Leslie- you must me so desperate to get attention, my kids used to do that sometimes when they were under the age of 5. They didn’t care if it was good or bad attention as long as they were noticed. Now I can’t help you out since you need your meds .This is the part I loved "Bottom line, You have nothing better to do with your pathetic, sorry lives. " Okey dokey, so what the f— have I been doing raising 3 kids and working for 25 years, ehhh?Please let us all know what you have done in your life that is so grand, we need tips. BTW- why the crap are you here since you have such a fulfilling life, how could you possibly stoop so low and waste your very precious moments in your busy life on this thread :) Don’t bother I won’t respond.God, they get funnier by the day!!!

Was there any signs of attack until #8 Leslie and #9 down to earth rolled into town? hmmm|hmm no, I dont believe there were.. thanks for pointing that out. : ) # 11 | jenpo
