OlderBrad Pitt Premieres “Burn After Reading”
Brad Pitt joins prankster pal George Clooney at the opening ceremony and Burn After Reading premiere during the 2008 Venice Film Festival at Sala Grande on Wednesday in Venice, Italy.
The 44-year-old father-of-six and the 47-year-old ladies man were accompanied by directors Joel and Ethan Coen and actresses Frances McDormand and Tilda Swinton.
Last night, Brad and George partied into the wee hours after the black tie fundraiser for their Not On Our Watch charity. To read about their partying ways with some 20 fundraiser guests at the Cipriani’s poolside bar, visit People.com.
You can also check out one of the first reviews of the movie at Variety.com. Here’s a snippet: “Major star names might stoke some mild B.O. heat with older upscale viewers upon U.S. release Sept. 12, but no one should expect this reunion of George Clooney and Brad Pitt to remotely resemble an Ocean’s film commercially.”

Without Angie Around, Jen and Brad Can Totally Get Some In Canada!
SPINNING A SPINSTER Jen For four long years, we’ve waited for this.
Nope, not the next presidential election, but the re-meeting of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt! The two haven’t seen each other since their marriage melted when Angelina Jolie curled her little finger in a come hither gesture and Brad bounded off to hold Angie’s purse and change some diapers back in ‘04. But both Brad and Jen have films to promote at the Toronto Film Festival next week. With Angie stuck back in the French mansion with Brad’s mom and the six-million kiddies, could this Brad/Jen re-meet be fraught with, um, something?
“Jen & Brad to Meet FACE TO FACE: Sweet Revenge!” boasts Star magazine.
“Angelina’s Furious About Brad Seeing Jen!” In Touch’s cover screams!
OK!, too, splashes Jennifer Aniston across its cover, but they admit that while the exes both have scheduled appearances at the festival, it seems entirely likely that in a city of 2.5 million people, the erstwhile couple might not bump into each other.
We’ve been following the Democrats in Denver this week, so we’ve got elections on the brain, and we can’t help but think that the kids at OK! sound a little like Walter Mondale in ‘84, telling the American people that both he and Reagan were going to have to raise taxes, but that he was the only candidate honest enough to admit it. True perhaps, but what’s Walt been doing the past 24 years. Sometimes we don’t want the truth when the non-truth is so much sexier!
Star claims that Jen and Brad already chatted on the phone when Jen called Brad’s mom (they’re still besties) distraught over her public break-up with sappy singer John Mayer. “John would be so yesterday’s news if Jen saw Brad!” says a source, who claims the two are talking meet-and-greet.
And In Touch says that new mamma of twins Angie is a hormonal mess insecure about her baby weight, who thinks that her partner might take a liking to Jen’s yoga body. Says one insider, “She imagines Brad will be there sipping champagne at the Park Hyatt’s roof lounge and that Jen will be with him.”
See, that’s what we’re talking about! We want these two feeding each other chocolate-dipped strawberries and reminiscing—and not at separate hotels on separate days.
As Mondale can attest, honesty doesn’t win elections—or cover wars.

He didn’t, that award is from last year.Take the articles from People with a grain of salt. They can’t even get the simplest things, like Pax age, right.
Poor Tallula lost her brain and can’t seem to find it. Oh where, Oh where has her little brain gone….Oh where, Oh where can it be. Nobody knows.
He is so botoxed I can feel his pain.
Poor Tallula lost her brain and can’t seem to find it. Oh where, Oh where has her little brain gone….Oh where, Oh where can it be. Can someone please give Tallula a brain so she doesn’t have to try so hard to come up with her dry insults. Please for the love of all that is holy, give Tallula a chance.
Wish Angeline was by his side! I like to see them both together and full of love…
this movie will not go well at the BO the reviews are bad. sorry.
These Tabloids are so desperate for money ,They will print anything,I’m sure Jane Pitt would pass phone to Brad.The Pitts are good people they don’t play nasty little games .They love Brad and Angie and children,they want what is Best for Family.Not some 40 year old who has been seeing mental Dr. for 10 years.Plus Jane loves her Grandkids.It’s all made up I’m positive Jane does not talk to the x.Just tabs need money.I’m sure X loves having her face all over Tabs.

***************************************
No he only won VFF best actor for TAOJJ last year, but was handed the award this year, its like winning twice, which Brad joked thanking them for winning last year and this year. Brad’s wit is great.
BAR is out of competition this year I think and the festival has just started, so there is best actor award yet.
Oh dear God! Why don’t you trolls have a meeting and decide what is the talking point(s) for today. Y’all can’t run from blog to blog with different talking points ok? FOCUS, trolls, FOCUS!
Which one is it?
A) Brad is old, gray moustache, ugly, nose hair
B) Botoxed Brad
Brad can’t be looking old, with all the wrinkles and creases if he is well…botoxed up like Maniston!
FOCUS! Children..now post and hate away!
This movie looks so funny, I can’t wait to see it.
Why is my comment awaiting moderation!!!

Yeah, that’s why it got 4/5 Stars:
August 27, 2008
Burn After ReadingWendy Ide at the Venice Film Festival
****
Joel and Ethan Coen call upon a heavyweight cast of regular collaborators (George Clooney, Frances McDormand, Richard Jenkins) and newcomers to the Coen repertory group (Brad Pitt, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton) for their follow-up to the Oscar-winning No Country For Old Men. And then the brothers gleefully despatch half of their stars in a hail of bullets and blunt weapons.
This is the Coens’ first self-penned original screenplay since The Man Who Wasn’t There in 2001, and it has in common with some of their earlier pictures, specifically Raising Arizona and Fargo, a savagely comic taste for creative violence and a slightly mocking eye for detail. It also shares with these films one of the Coen Brothers preferred themes: that of inept criminals, or more specifically the ordinary Joe who thinks he or she can pull off one ingenious heist that will turn their luck around.
It’s hard to think of anyone less suited to a life of crime than Pitt’s character Chad. Most toddlers have better extortion skills. Chad is a bouncing puppy of a man; a fitness trainer at Hard Bodies gym and the best buddy of fellow Hard Bodies employee Linda (McDormand). Linda has an aching loneliness inside which she attempts to fill with unrewarding hook ups on internet dating sites and the dream of a new life bought through extensive cosmetic surgery. But all the butt-sculpting and face-stretching that she requires comes at a price, so when the gym cleaner finds a disk that appears to contain what Chad describes as “top secret sensitive ****”, Linda scents the chance of a windfall and Chad skips happily along beside her.
The disk in fact contains the whiskey-sodden ramblings that former CIA agent Osbourne Cox (Malkovich, who ties with Pitt for the film’s funniest performance) considers to be the beginnings of his memoir. Cox is struggling from the wreckage of a motorway pile-up of personal crises – he has quit his job, his wife (Swinton, delivering her lines with a scrotum-shrivelling ferocity) is tired of him and two imbeciles are trying to blackmail him. Little does Cox know but his wife is having an affair with a man he despises: married family friend and federal marshal Harry (Clooney). And in a coincidence that only the Coen brothers are audacious enough to pull off, Harry is also seeing Linda, having met her while sleazing around internet dating sites.
Carter Burwell’s brilliant score is the most paranoid piece of film music since Quincy Jones’s neurotic soundtrack for The Anderson Tapes – it’s particularly well-judged as it brings a gravity to a collection of characters who we could otherwise dismiss as numbskulls and nincompoops. The attention to detail is impeccable: the Coens can even raise a laugh with something as simple as a well-placed photograph of Vladimir Putin (the Russian Prime Minister gazes down from wall at Pitt and McDormand with the murderous expression of a tiger shark about to chew its way through a mouth full of particularly stupid herrings).
If the film does lack something, it’s warmth. The affection you felt from the Coens for the misguided fools in Fargo or Raising Arizona is lacking here for everyone except Jenkins’ hapless and hopelessly love sick gym manager. And while the film carries the audience with its entertaining, if somewhat ludicrous, blend of high level espionage and ab-toning exercises, it would perhaps be more rewarding if we could like the characters as well as laugh at them.
Rating: 4/5

what a handsome man well both of them
The trophy for the best actor is huge. Congratulations to Brad.
Clooney, Pitt leave personal questions open
Aug. 27, 2008, 11:29 AM EST
VENICE, Italy (AP) — George Clooney and Brad Pitt: Bachelor and family man.
Inevitably, a news conference Wednesday promoting their new Coen brothers film, “Burn After Reading,” turned to the birth of Pitt’s twins with partner Angelina Jolie, and whether his good friend would ever settle down.
Clooney, 47, put on a look of mock bemusement.
“I am so surprised to hear that question. That is honestly the first time I have been asked that,” Clooney said. “I am getting married and having a child today.”
Pitt, whose brood has grown to six children with the birth of twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline last month, offered to share his children with Clooney, adding deadpan: “I’ll have two more by next year.”
The movie, which premieres Wednesday at the Venice Film Festival, is a tale about idiots — and what happens when their worlds collide.
Pitt, 44, looked flustered as a Spanish TV journalist pushed her way to the front of the press conference dressed in red gym shorts similar to garb he wears as a gym trainer in the film. She asked Pitt if he would help her work out.
“It’s a movie,” Pitt reminded her.
“Would you run after me?” she asked Clooney and Pitt.
“I think we’re more likely to be running away from you,” Clooney replied to laughter.
Several times Clooney good-naturedly ran interference for Pitt, who was peppered with questions about his personal life. Asked about the infants, Clooney intervened: “The twins are fine,” then joked that he and Pitt were sitting at opposite ends of the podium because of a restraining order.
And when another questioner asked if they would rather win an Oscar or fall in love with an Italian woman in Venice, Clooney warned: “Don’t answer that, Brad.”
