OlderBrad Pitt is a “Must Bastard”
Brad Pitt takes his motorcycle for a spin in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon (June 19).
The 45-year-old actor and director Quentin Tarantino are dubbed the “Must Bastards” in Entertainment Weekly’s Must-List Issue. The pair join forces for the hotly anticipated World War II revenge fantasy Inglourious Basterds.
Brad has worked with some major directors— David Fincher, Terrence Malick, the Coen brothers – and he knows it.
“I’m a director whore, it’s true,” he says. The movie has been described as “kosher porn,” seeing as it is a revenge fantasy about Jewish-American soldiers. “But there is an aspect of a wish-fulfillment fantasy to the film, for lack of better words,” says Quentin. “Taking down Hitler and destroying the Third Reich—we’ve all had those fantasies.”

That was such a great post. Thanks for posting it.
Brad and Angelina’s generosity continues
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt — enough said. Their names frequently appear in headlines for genorosity. Brad and Angie’s giving has just gotten bigger.
Brad and Angie at the Inglorious ******** premiere in CannesThe Jolie-Pitt Foundation has officially donated $1 million to aid refugees in Pakistan. Millions of people in that area of the world have been impacted by continued violence in Afghanistan.
As a U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Goodwill Ambassador, Jolie has in fact visited Pakistan several times in the past. Since she is such a worldwide name and has a distinguished face, security concerns in 2006 forced shooting to move production from Pakistan to India.
Right now Angelina Jolie is in Washington, DC for World Refugee Day to discuss the cause with Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State. However, right now Clinton is working from home as the result of a broken elbow and fall.
While naysayers may say Jolie has leveraged the press and media to spin her image as a result of the Pitt-Aniston break-up or how her donations make news and when other “giving” celebs don’t want the press — there’s no denying it — Brad and Angie put their money where their mouths are. Jolie has been working with the U.N. the past eight years and has visited Pakistan a total of three times. Passionate about the cause and most importantly, crisis in that region of the world.
Meanwhile, her beau, Brad Pitt is also in an philanthropic mood. He also donated one million dollars but decided to take it locally. He created the Pediatric Cancer Center in his hometown. So now there will be a cancer center named after his mom, an activist, the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center at St. John’s hospital in Springfield, Missouri.
Plan B is under Paramount, so …

Paramount shakes up management
The studio ousts John Lesher and Brad Weston, its two top production executives, and puts Adam Goodman in charge of production.
By Claudia Eller
June 20, 2009
Paramount Pictures, shaking up its management ranks, ousted its two top production executives Friday, signaling unhappiness with the pace of development and performance of movies developed under their watch, including the current Eddie Murphy bomb “Imagine That.”
The abruptness of the firings of Paramount Film Group President John Lesher and production President Brad Weston late Friday apparently took both executives by surprise, although speculation about their status at the studio had been mounting in Hollywood for months. Both Lesher, who had just signed a new four-year deal in January of last year, and Weston, who joined the studio in 2005, have been offered production deals at the studio.
Stepping into the chief production role is Adam Goodman, who has been one of the three senior creative executives at Paramount alongside Lesher and Weston. Goodman, a former DreamWorks executive, oversaw the recent hits “Hotel for Dogs” and “I Love You, Man.”
Although Paramount has been ranked No. 2 in U.S. box office market share for nearly two years, most of its hits were not developed internally.
Instead, Paramount’s biggest films, including DreamWorks’ “Transformers” and Marvel Studio’s “Iron Man,” came from other suppliers.
The paucity of internally generated projects under Lesher and Weston, who were appointed 18 months ago to rev up production after the studio lost its chief provider of films, DreamWorks, contributed to the dissatisfaction of their bosses, studio Chairman Brad Grey and Vice Chairman Rob Moore, according to a person familiar with the situation.
Friday’s executive upheaval continues the management instability that has plagued the Viacom Inc.-owned studio under Grey and Moore’s watch over the last several years. There’s been a parade of top executive departures since Grey took the reins in 2005, including his first hire, Gail Berman, who was president of the studio.
Paramount confirmed Friday that it had “revamped” its production executive team, putting Goodman in charge and reporting to Grey.
In an interview, Moore said, “Both at DreamWorks and Paramount, Adam Goodman has had experience managing a production slate including family and tent-pole movies,” among which is next week’s sequel, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.”
“We felt he was the best single person to manage this going forward,” Moore said.
Over the last 12 months, Paramount had developed only five movies. One of them, director J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek,” was a blockbuster, and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” turned a small profit. But the three others, “The Love Guru,” “Dance Flick” and “Imagine That,” all flopped.
Lesher, who before joining Paramount had spent two decades as a top agent, made a big splash when he first came to Paramount and was put in charge of the studio’s struggling specialty film label. The unit’s first releases were the critically acclaimed “Babel,” starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, and the highly profitable “An Inconvenient Truth,” Al Gore’s documentary about global warming.
Lesher also oversaw the Oscar-winning hit “No Country for Old Men,” but after the division lost money on such films as “A Mighty Heart,” “Margot at the Wedding” and “The Dutchess,” its operations were folded into Paramount.
Goodman, formerly production president at DreamWorks, came to Grey’s attention after Viacom acquired DreamWorks in early 2006. After DreamWorks founder Steven Spielberg left Paramount in November 2008, Grey brought Goodman over to the bigger studio.

There are so many wonderful things that Angie does that do not get publicized.
Liz is the 26 year old wife of David Flowers, who was wounded when he stepped on a landmine in Afghanistan on May 11. He is currently being treated at Walter Reed in DC.
Liz has a blog. She has a post that describes one of the many things that Angie did while she was in DC this week.
I slept in while Mom and Granny spent time with Dave. He had PT at 1:30 and right before he scooted off one of the nurses told him to wait that a “distinguished guest” was about to arrive. It was Angelina Jolie! She spent about 20 minutes talking with Dave and taking pictures! Then after she left the liaison came around and handed out gift bags signed by her with a gift card to Best Buy worth $1,000!

One of the posters at the new Pitt & Jolie blog said that Angie “visited a bunch of wounded soldiers while she was there. She made a bunch of new fans. Including me.”
Here is a June 7 newspaper article about David Flowers.

Brad Pitt Coming to the Valley
Moneyball is an adaptation of the best-selling book that chronicles Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland A’s. That’s who Pitt is playing.
Several scenes will be shot at Phoenix Municipal Stadium, the A’s spring training field. The rest of the movie is due to be shot in Oakland. Production is expected to send trucks starting Saturday.
Nobody’s confirmed whether Pitt will definitely be there.
