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]

oh, I remembered now…scroll up….Crack the f** up-when someone says something very funny or stupid.

The View seems to be made up of five catty women (I’m being nice here so I call them women) who already have their minds made up before they interview anyone. So during the whole interview they try to nice in a bitchy kind of way and since they have their minds made up, the interviews never change anything.
I rather be eaten by lion then post at x.
Oh god, I wish X WOULD get married and have babies or whatever so that her fans would STFU. Problem is, no matter how these fans try to spin VV–and I like the guy–he’s not Brad and they’ll never have the Golden Couple again. So there will always be some jealous sniping at BAMZS. But maybe it would cut down on some of the X traffic on BAMZS threads. Nice thought anyway.
# 200 | cindy2 -you are here, how are you?…thanks for the advise on the ex-bf thing..I believe you have a few people asking for you at the Z’s walking thread.
# 205 | guli | - Night Guli, don’t forget next Tuesday about Angie’s On AC @ 10:00PM
# 205 | guli -Goodnight Guli
The View talked about Angelina’s new tattoo Monday. Angie = Ratings . They may say negatvie things but they know that there are people in TV land that are more interested in knowing who is Angelina Jolie than knowing anything about X. The average woman knows w knows who X is but they are intrigued by Angelina.
I’m very cynical and I don’t think some fanistons will ever be able to move on and let go of the past.
# 209 | kidi | - Oh we can only hope.

Perhaps someone could send this little snipped of news to the View?? I haven’t seen the View but it seems that the skulls on a babies t shirt is not just an Angie thing.June 14, 2006Shiloh Jolie-Pitt ignites hysteria for one Denver boutiqueAlready a household name at less than one month old, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has already began her life as a fashionista, all the while igniting the notoriety of a small town boutique.After Shiloh appeared on the cover of People magazine in a t-shirt from the Denver boutique Belly, the store has received overnight fame. Belly sent the $42 shirt and some maternity clothes to Angelina back in January. The shirt, which CBB featured last week, was designed by Kingsley Aarons, features the phrase "The Pots & Pans Band" printed in Gothic letters with pictures of pots and pans, as well as a skull and crossbone.Belly employee Janci Clawson told the Rocky Mountain News that the purpose of sending the clothes was not to garner publicity. "Obviously, if she wore something of ours, that would be awesome," she said, "But it was more of a `thank you’ to Angelina for doing so much for women and children around the world."However, shirt designer Kingsley Aaron disagrees, saying, "Everyone’s claiming that they’re responsible for sending them their `gift package’ because they want publicity."Belly co-owner Janci Frisby says Angelina is not the first celebrity to receive gifts from the boutique. Others include celeb moms: Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Garner, and Gwen Stefani, none of which responded to the store’s generosity.The store reprtedly has received so many orders that they are currently sold out of Shiloh’s shirt, but say more are on back order.Source: Yahoo News
I’ve been looking at pictures at the keystone press website and I’ve sort of looked through like 3000 pix..Yeah, Im a nerd..:)Anyhoo, I always thought he was the pretty boy, you know what I mean. I wasn’t much interested thinking he’d just be like all these poster pretty blonde guys hanging out with pretty dumb blonde girls, etc.. :)But since he did Troy Brad grew into a mature man. Not just physically but in all the important ways. He’s changed but he still couldnt be what he wanted to be until he met Angelina. That event came into his life in just the moment he was ready, when he wanted to break off the chains and become what he always wanted to be but was held back. I simply loved the interview with him in one magazine, Idon’t quite remember which one. There were pix of him all ragged, surrounded by architecture and he was this construction worker slash architect. Paint was all over his clothes. And he talked about his love of architecture. I thought the interview showed Pitt as he really is. Not an actor but the creative person who has interests outside of hollywood. I don’t know if I am making any sense. Sorry but my English is my second language and I rarely am able to express myself when I want to. I keep losing the words I want to say.And now that all this happened, he changed his life 360 degrees around, he’s what he wanted to be when he gave this interview.And his looks have also changed from Troy onwards. He’s become more a mature man, not a boy. And I think JA just couldnt catch up with him. Brad wanted more from his relationship and she just wasnt catching up with him. I don’t think she understood him like Angelina does. But Brad didnt lose his softness and his beautiful boyish smile. I know a lot of American men, like my ex, they are a boy inside. I think they never change in that respect even when they finally grow up.Ok, the end of my long sentimental post. Good night…
Brad looks sexy. He is a hot daddy.
# 216 | somalian | - Its 10:00PM Eastern Time and I think 7:00PM West Coast time. Do you guys get him up in Canada?
# 221 | AgnieszkaGQ [forgot the date]
# 184 | Somalian | June 15, 2006 12:01 AM | I wouldn’t worry about what the View has to say. Star Jones is on it, need I say more? Those women would drop dead if they step one inch away from "the straight and narrow".
