Angelina Jolie & Britney Spears Comparison

The July 10 issue of Life & Style Weekly has an awesome side-by-side comparison of Britney Spears‘ likeness to Angelina Jolie.  Here’s what they had to say: "Britney Spears has changed her image many times over the years: teen pop star, music-video vixen, doting mom.  Her latest identity?  Angelina Jolie!  "Britney likes everything about Angelina – her looks, her talent and most of all her big heart," says a friend.  Adds a second pal, "She wants to be just like her."  There were even some quickly denied reports that Brit wanted to deliver her second child, due in September, in Namibia, where Angie’s daughter Shiloh was born in May.  Brit, 24, may not be going to Africa, but she is copying Angelina, 31, in other ways."  Check out the scans (and Brad Pitt in Newsweek) in the gallery!

Brad Pitt's Driver's License

A salesman faces trial for forging a labour card by pasting Hollywood actor Brad Pitt’s photo on it and an Arabic name.

The 29-year-old Jordanian, T.H., said he did not know whose photo it was he had downloaded from the internet. The Dubai Public Prosecution charged him with forgery, using a fake document and trying to embezzle Dh82,600 from a money exchange house in collaboration with his brother H.H., who works there as a teller.

An informant told police that T.H. was planning to collect the money in collaboration with his brother. Police arrested T.H. from a mall in Ghusais. In his statement to the police, he said his brother had informed him about the money which had not been collected. He confessed that he forged the card with Brad Pitt’s picture from a website.

A website, eh?  Do you think T.H. took Brad Pitt’s picture from JustJared.com?  I betcha he did.  I betcha! I betcha! I betcha!  And yes, Brad Pitt’s Driver’s License is a total fake if the name "Usama Bin Mohammed Bin Laden" printed on the card didn’t give it away…  Thanks to Grace for the heads up!

Brad Pitt's Hollywood Hills Home

The rumors are true.  It seems that Brad Pitt is more than a great actor and a pretty face — he also knows quite a bit about architecture, as proved by his modernist masterpiece nestled high in the Hollywood Hills.  Beautifully simple and exuding a zen-like calm — it’s a compelling space even before you find out that it’s home to Hollywood star Brad Pitt.  The fact that he also had a hand in creating it merely adds to the appeal.  "The most important thing I learned with this house is you have to let go of a lot of great ideas for the sake of harmony… I love that architecture is this huge art piece you can be inside.  I believe it lifts your soul and affects your mindset," says Brad. Find out all about Brad’s pad in the gallery, which contains scans of Brad Pitt’s Hollywood Home as featured in the cover story of the July 2006 issue of Elle Decoration Magazine!

15 People Who Make America Great
Newsweek, July 3-10, 2006

He lured the paparazzi to Africa, where people really needed the attention.

If it wasn’t for Brad Pitt, most Americans would never have heard of Namibia. They might not know about AIDS orphans in South Africa, or the plight of children in Haiti, or what transpired at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Pitt, 42, has been a movie star for 15 years—and a paparazzi target for nearly as long. Celebrity mags have made millions reporting on his love life, and the obsession only intensified when he began romancing Angelina Jolie. So he started fighting back—but not by punching photographers. If paparazzi were going to follow the couple everywhere, Pitt figured they might as well drag them somewhere that desperately needed the world’s attention. "It’s the first time I’ve actually felt like we have some degree of control over it," says Pitt, from his home in Malibu. "I can’t describe what an immense relief it is for me." The splashiest example of his new strategy unfolded just last month. He and Jolie, who, perhaps you’ve heard, recently gave birth to their daughter Shiloh Nouvel in Namibia, sold the coveted first baby photos to People magazine for a reported $4 million—and gave all the money to African charities. "Knowing that someone was going to hound us for that first photo—and was going to profit immensely for doing it—I just couldn’t live with it," Pitt says. "We were able to turn that around and collect millions for people who are really going to need it."

If Pitt was simply using his star power to force the celebrity press to cover poverty and disease, that would be enough—heck, it’s far more than most celebrities do. But Pitt has also been studying trade issues, diving into why much of Africa is so impoverished and how it can be turned around. "Industrialized nations cost Africa three times what we give it in aid," he says. "We buy their coffee beans, but we don’t let them process the beans, which is where the real money is. So what we’re doing is digging a hole for them that they can’t get out of, and then throwing a little money in the hole. The odds are just stacked against them."

Fatherhood, he says, helped accelerate his activism. Not long before Shiloh was born, Pitt adopted Jolie’s son, Maddox, whom she originally adopted from Cambodia, and her daughter Zahara, whom she adopted last summer from Ethiopia. "I look at [Zahara] and imagine what her life could have been," he says. "You want to grab as many of these kids in your arms as you can. They need our help, and we should be doing more."

He’s doing more in America, too. A longtime student of architecture and an advocate of "green" design, Pitt saw an opportunity after Hurricane Katrina to help rebuild New Orleans in an innovative way. Joining forces with Global Green USA, an environmental advocacy group, Pitt put up $100,000 to help sponsor an architecture competition that requires contestants to create affordable, multifamily housing for the city that is ecofriendly and community focused. Global Green has already received more than 3,000 submissions. "We can’t just consume ourselves into extinction," he says. "We have to find a new paradigm, a new way of thinking. Of course, the ultimate goal is to get the designs built. It’s a bit of a quagmire down there now, so I see myself getting even more involved in the future."

First, he has to be free to leave the house. Since returning from Africa, the Jolie-Pitt clan has been swarmed by paparazzi. "They’re outside the house right now, at least 40 of them," Pitt says, as a baby’s cry fills the background. "There are two boats out in the water, and there’s an occasional chopper that goes by." Indeed, the sound of a helicopter propeller is so loud at times during Newsweek’s interview that Pitt can’t hear the questions. "It’s madness," he says. But he doesn’t sound annoyed. Far from it: he sounds like any other blissed-out new dad. "Do you have kids? It’s absolutely sublime." You can virtually hear him smile over the phone. "Whether you have them or adopt them, they’re all blood. And the funniest people I’ve ever met." Pretty soon, it’ll be their generation’s world. "I’ve had the luxury of being able to see these issues firsthand," he says. "If I don’t share that, I’m complicit in the problem." Instead, he’s making sure he’s part of the solution.

Brad Pitt in Bed

One more thread before the weekend’s up!  People magazine reportedly pulled in an extra $2 million in additional revenue for its cover picture of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s baby Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, for which it reportedly paid over $4 million. They sold at least 2.3 million copies on the newsstands, which is 800K more than usual.

In extra weird (and fake) news, a genuine baby Shiloh diaper containing actual poop is listed on eBay.  The current high bid is $348,000 and here’s what the freak bidder had to say: "I’ve already built a glass case with a stand and spotlights and everything, so that the diaper of the child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will be unmistakably, right there. I’ve sold my car, pawned my flatscreen TV and mortgaged my house to win the auction this diaper will be mine!"
