Brad Pit
t was surrounded by beautiful women at the LA premiere of David Fincher's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," at the Mann Village Theatre in Westwood.

Actorscat_leste_56335781_600 Pitt and Angelina Jolie resembled classic old time movie stars. Looking a far cry from their busy mommy/daddy roles, Angie was elegant in a strapless black Versace gown, Ralph Lauren Vintage Collection drop earrings, her hair slicked back. Pitt wore a Tom Ford three-piece tuxedo suit and a moustache.

But he also posed for photos with his onscreen love interest, Cate Blanchett, reportedly clad in a short, sparkly Alexander McQueen frock that looked suspiciously like a Nicolas Ghesquiere Balenciaga design, but what do I know. 

Brad's parents Bill and Jane Pitt, were also on hand for their son's big Oscar shot film. So were Jennifer Lopez, Gary Oldman, Eva Longoria-Parker, Sharon Stone and Oscar winning actress Tilda Swinton, wearing a Rodarte gown, who also plays one of Pitt's lovers early in the film.

In this incredibly moving and sweeping romance based on a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald,  Pitt  plays a boy who is born old but gets younger. He falls in love with Cate's character whom he meets when he is very old man and she is very young girl, but they eventually hook up in the middle.

It's an astonishing film (getting major Oscar buzz) that gets you thinking about love, time, aging, youth, impermanence, relationships, faith, communication and all the people who've had an impact - big or small - in your life.

Most amazing is the makeup and digital aging/youthing FX. Watching Blanchett and Pitt age in different directions is an astonishing feat that doesn't distract from the magical love story.

Blanchett didn't make it to the flashy post party. But for a darn good reason.

She hopped a red eye flight back home to Sydney so she could host the Wednesday "Button" Australian premiere, a big fundraiser for her pet passion, the Sydney Theatre Company.

By the way, Jennifer Aniston's "Marley and Me" premiere is Thursday night. And at the same darn theatre. Will her premiere will be splashier than Brad's black tie affair?

That so much publicity should be given to these adulterists shows how low American standards and morals have gone. They are just a couple who believe they can and will do what they want regardless of circumstances. Pitts is not a good actor and his tootie is not either


What's wrong with adultery? Marriage is the problem. Promiscuity is the solution. Silly thumper. This is america!

Mind your own business, just who do you think you are to judge anyone else? Brad and Angelina are good people who don't practice sitting in judgement of others. Get your own life and leave them alone.


Yes, they would have "resembled classic old time movie stars" if she didn't have the trashy tatoos and his moustashe was not a modern trademark for those who prefer the company of other men.


Nice mustache Brad. Hmm... kinda like John Voight circa 1975. Daddy issues anyone?


Last night I was watching on TV how they built 150 houses in one year for Catrina victims in LA. That shows their morality and I don't care whatever else they do or how they look, they are among the best living people on the face of earth. How many celebrities are there using their fame to such an extent to help people?


Comments like those from some of you jealous hags, remind me of just why I loathe Jennifer Aniston for starting this acrimonious nonsense with her coy passive aggressive PR games, and magazine 'Tell Alls.' The pity me, and hate them marketing ploy she's used to appeal to her fellow enraged female dumpees is wearing thin. I personally don't care what happened in their marriage - but I do know why we're talking about it, and that's because Aniston is using it to remain relevant. If possible Pitt has been more of a contribution in keeping her in the news post-split than he did while they were hitched. I'm trying desperately not to blame him for being assaulted with Aniston's existence - but when I read these kinds of comments from people who truly think that being on Team Aniston is of more worthy consequence than being on Team Make It Right. or Team 'I have Actual Talent & Star in GOOD films,' then that makes me see red.


Pitt and Jolie are an Oscar nominated and Oscar winning pair of actors, they've grossed over a BILLION at the box office this year (actually, Jolie did that on her own) along with THAT, they've contributed close to 8 million dollars to children and the less fortunate all over the world, and are partaking in rebuilding New Orleans. I'd say they warrant THEIR press rather than a whiny. pathetic complaining tanning, smoking, beach-going TV sit-com hack who once said 'charity is not my thing.' (aka Jen Aniston) Call me crazy.


Both Brad and Angelina are two of most talented artists in this country. More importantly, together they have done incredible job of advancing charity cause by advocating and donating millions of dollars to worthy causes. On the contrary, Jeniffer Aniston is talentless and boring. She just can't become her self without being tied to her ex's name. In addition, she was the one who did not want to children with Brad.
