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]

NOT MY VOTE!!! He cheated on his wife, got the mistress pregnant, left the wife with out telling her, and he is in Africa. He also had Zahara on a bike with out her having a helmet or shoes on. They stay behind close doors, you never know what has happened. Plus he has only been a father for maybe 1 year. This is just stupid. # 9 | Down To Earth |You are right not your vote because your vote don’t count.Read your rant again then you will realize how stupid and ignorant your post is. If they are behind closed doors how come you know he had Zahara on a bike without shoes and helment, and the picture you just clicked on, was it taken in their bedroom? And by the way, what do you care if there are in public or not. Go take care of your life before your husband or boyfriend leaves you for another woman then you will turn around and blame Angelina.

Leslie- this is the last message to you. This is what you said.."You are the type of people that others get RESTRAINING ORDERS AGAINST!" Well honey, this is where we have a MAJOR problem, restraining orders are put on people who invade others privacy, insult and threaten. Well, sweet-heart this is the Brangelina thread and you are the one doing the invading. So, should I call the cops (JJ) for a restraining order against you???

Brad looks great! JJ, the pics of the family are gorgeous too. Brangelina are wonderful parents.

# 74 | stardust -none taken…I want to know too..

78 has a good point. If 8 hates them so much, why even come to this thread. You sound like Jen Aniston with all the threats. You lost, worldwide. Brangelina are the top couple in HW, live with it.

Haters still here? Love to see Brad. Hope we’ll be able to see Angie or maybe Shiloh/Madd & Z. Is Angelina Going to Washington DC to address the World Refugee Day this June 20th? Is the X preggers? If that is true,,,why now? As if she just trying to go whenre Brad & Ange are going. Copy cat I must say. Pathetic.

Oh my dear "lawn". # 19 | KMC ————–oops, your bad, lawyers can always spell one of the most important words used in their common. language. so. fooled nobody…fans or otherwisekind of explains why some of you come back over and over to blog againand again. why, goodness, you can just pretend to be anything and everybody. where else would get away with that. certainly not in the real world.

Pol…thnks for posting the urbandictionary site. I’d never seen CTFU and I thought I was getting some horrid reply to my post. Well, I’ve learned a new one today.

I wonder who the friend is? Maybe Edward Norton!!! Did you guys see the size of the guy at his gate, jesus he is a big boy.. Very cool bike, it suits him, he looks lovely..yum!

Congratulations to the father of the year and his family.

# 85 | stardust -Thanks…got it!.

# 83 | African Girl | - I know it is hard to stay away cause we all care for this family not because we know them, but what they represent and what they are doing with their fame and fortune. Anywhoo, so you don’t want a ferrari :)))

JJ, all the pics are great. The Jolie-Pitts look so happy. I wish this beautiful couple, and their family the very best.

Pol…thnks for posting the urbandictionary site. I’d never seen CTFU and I thought I was getting some horrid reply to my post. Well, I’ve learned a new one today. # 90 | mrs smith =================Nope not at all a horrid reply, just thought you comment was very funny, you could have just asked me, but at least in the end, you know I meant no harm… just another fan of the BAMZS.

I have to go to class now…leave the fighting to the brave….see you later ladies.
