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]

Thanks j@red for this new thread & pics! Congrats to Brad!! =D
Brad does have interesting taste in furniture. On the pic of Brad on the phone there is a table in which the legs are bicycle wheels.
Forbes magazine has some exclusive on Angelina. I saw a short article and it is mostly about her work in Washington DC. Jared - I hope you create a new thread on that Forbes article coming up next week.
GuliI do, I do…can I get a red one?
Remember da truth- you said JA and VV were booed in Germany? REALLY??aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaLMAO!!!
# 104 | African Girl |- No problemo, red is what you want ,red it is! We are going to make JJ pay for it after all the work you have done on all these threads he owes you (man JJ probably is going to kill me) Heck I’ll be leaving in 10 days and am going to miss you all until I get my internet connection :(
Agnieska,Yes indeed, by the photogs who are sick to death of their "we aren’t a couple" lying routine. It’s downright insulting at this stage. Even if they are not a REAL couple, they are there to promote a movie of them together so would it kill them to stand together? Especially since they posed for mags together to promote this movie. Nope, because now we are all talking about them, aren’t we? And that IS what they live for.But the photogs are over it. They no longer think it’s cute or funny. These are not paparrazzi, these are legitimate photographers at an event, credentialed, and with their spot marked out, and these two are on the red carpet standing next to each other, but just far enough apart to keep from getting a pic together, taunting them with this and smiling their forced fake smiles, and the producer or director then stands between them when they all are together. Give me a break. They should have thrown tomatoes along with the boos.
EstelleLol…alright you got me. I was half asleep….Jeez, I can’t even bluff for nothing. *Shakes head Sadly* What am I good for?THANKS FOR POSTING THE UNBER DICTIONARY COZ I GOTTA TELL YA, I WAS BEGINNING TO FEEL STUPID WITH ALL THE ACRONYMS.Sorry I had to shout but I’m very happy.
congratulations to the HOTTEST PAPA of our lifetime. I am so happy for this man who in 2004 told Dianne Sawyer that having a family and chidren were his dream around his co-workers and on national television.
# 21 | bdjnice postBrad makes me think sinful thoughts and I like it.# 29 | ManistonLOL# 56 | African Girl hahah @ "refresh"
GuliYipeeee! I knew something good had to come out of this…..I mean contrary to what people think, BULLYING is not an easy task. Lots of energy goes into making people cry and whine. Thanks for recognizing this Guli…on this wonderful note, I’m gonna bid you guys goodnight/Good Morning. I hand you the BULLYING baton…please use it wisely.
That is grand Remember da truth! I believe you. I mean Vaughnistons are such idiots. They don’t know that them copying Brad and Angelina is not noticed. Don’t they think they are making fools out of themselves? Its foolish to copy B and A. They only confirm their own B status, if not dipping lower. How can they even compare themselves to A listers???It is so funny. They will do everything for a buck.I despise them even more. They stand there like beggars begging to go to see their movie at any cost even if they have to stoop so low.I really wish JJ never posts JA pix again!
# 111 | African Girl | Goodnight AG…. Tomorrow :)
"TURNING people into JA fans, which they werent before!"—LeslieOh my! That’s the sort of fan I want. The kind that is a fan of someone merely because she hates someone else. I can’t believe that we are back with the bullying talk. Maybe we can recycle old posts.
OK Estelle I am going to try your paging technique, if it doesn’t work I’ll need your help..Paging Rizos and Tijen, guys I miss you and will be leaving soon. Rizos, they don’t have Berringer in Turkey, but man their wine is great I’ll have one for you.Tiijen, how is the tooth, feeling any better?
Early "Happy Father’s Day" to Brad. He deservesit. He and Angie will make fine parents. People mag pictures were just perfect.
Hey Guys, I am so glad am home, what a crazy long day
lookwhaticando…you did crack me up with your CTFU, once I found out what it meant. I have so much to learn with these anacronyms. Until BAMZS, I have never visited any sites forcelebrities, and never posted before JJ’s, so I’m just learning as I go along. Actually, this is still the only site that I visit to get my BAMZS fix.Did anyone notice that Tom Cruise was not on the list of "Dads of the Year?’
Hey sista Alex! :) How was your day? Crazy?I’ve had a PITA buyer today. I own a store on ebay and sometimes a PITA buyer comes along. But you get used to it with time. Mrs smith- there’s another acronym for ya- PITA- which means Pain In The Ass.:)
maybe if the list was the Kukoest (?) dads of the year, he might’ve gotten the #1 rank. (sorry..)Congrats to Brad the dad and thank u jj for these new pics & thread. BAMZS rocks! ps i think barnes & nobles ran out of Hello mag =(( Until next time, tata BAMZS fans.
I wish they could catch picture of Angie with Shiloh at the balconey.
#115 - guliHi Guli! It hurts a bit. Having the procedure done on Tues. Till then I have pain meds. and JJ .Are you all ready to go? Is the whole family going? Our change of plans cost us $350/ per person in penalties. Happy to be going still. When will you be able to post fron Bodrum? Write and tell us all about the BEAUTIFUL Agean/Mediterranean Sea and Bodrum.
# 119 | Agnieszka | - Hey A., yes crazy ass day, my bf had to work late so I had to find my way home since I don’t drive I had to take the bus, which is not bad but its take forever; but soon I won’t have that problem anymore because I will be getting a car hopefully soon.
i have never seen Matthew Broderick or David Arquette with their kids. how about that! maybe they don’t get hounded by the papz that’s why i haven’t seen them. good for them too for being on the list.
Jared!Thanx for the pix.
