Brad Pitt ‘doesn’t want to talk about his 50th b-day, he doesn’t want any surprises’

wenn20943572

This ^^ is a photo of the new Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie wax statues at Madame Tussauds London. They got Brad’s face right, but they gave him Keith Urban’s hair, right? And that looks nothing like Angelina.

Anyway, as you know, Brad Pitt turned 50 years old yesterday. I don’t really know where he was for his birthday, but I strongly suspect he was either on the English set of Fury (the WWII film he’s filming) or on route to Australia, to meet up with Angelina and the kids. Us Weekly says that Brad was not really looking forward to “celebrating” this birthday because… well, that’s the way it goes. Every birthday past 29 kind of sucks, ladies and gentlemen. When my mom turned 50, she went on antidepressants.

Happy Birthday? Brad Pitt may have turned 50 years old on Thursday, Dec. 18, but the Hollywood A-lister isn’t partying it up or searching for his very own heart-shaped island to buy to celebrate. Instead, the 12 Years a Slave star is doing absolutely nothing – except working.

“He’s not doing anything for it and he said he doesn’t want any surprises,” a source reveals to Us Weekly of Pitt’s (lack of) birthday plans. In fact, the father of six might be feeling a little self-conscious about hitting the half-century mark. “He really doesn’t want to talk about his birthday much.”

Indeed, Pitt is currently too busy as he continues to film his World War II-era film Fury in London. Though the insider reveals the project has been draining, it’s been “worth it.” The source adds: “The film is going to be amazing.”

As for his fiancee Angelina Jolie and the couple’s six children, Pitt will just have to wait patiently to blow out the candles. “Brad said he’s going to celebrate his birthday this weekend in Australia,” the source tells Us. “That’s going to be the only thing he does.”

Earlier this month, the whole Jolie-Pitt gang — including Maddox, 12, Pax, 9, Zahara, 8, Shiloh, 7, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 5 — went on a yacht excursion in Sydney. “They spent hours on the boat with the kids who were really cute and friendly,” an eyewitness told Us of the outing.

The couple of eight years also won’t be home for the next special occasion — the holidays! “They’re used to celebrating wherever they’re working,” an insider explained to Us.

[From Us Weekly]

So it sounds like he was working in England and then he’s flying to Australia at some point this week. And he’ll probably celebrate Christmas in Australia with Angie and the kids. Nice. I wonder what Angelina got him for his birthday? Hopefully she got him something more than 50 pairs of handcuffs. Fifty riding crops? Fifty pairs of silk boxers? Fifty pounds of marijuana?

In other Brad news, THR says that Tom Cruise wants to work with him again and Cruise even has the project all picked out:

Brad Pitt might be re-teaming with Tom Cruise for their first feature together since 1994’s Interview With the Vampire. The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Pitt is being courted to star alongside Cruise in Go Like Hell, Fox’s racing movie based on Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans, written by A. J. Baime.

Cruise is attached to portray car designer Carroll Shelby in the project, which has Joseph Kosinski (Oblivion) in the director’s chair.

Lucas Foster and Alex Young are producing the true story of the competition between the Ford Motor Company and Italian sports car designer Enzo Ferrari, which culminated at the 1966 Le Mans race.

Pitt was attached to star in the project when it had Michael Mann on board as director back in 2009. He remained interested in the project and has had talks with the new team. With Kosinski supervising the writing — brothers Jez and John-Henry Butterworth have written a new draft — a new script is in the actor’s hands.

[From THR]

That actually sounds like an interesting project and if Brad’s already shown some interest in the past, he might come on board again. Ron Howard’s Rush proved that you could make a mainstream movie about these sort of esoteric racing feuds, and if it’s about the people MAKING the cars, that could be interesting too.

    You can make an interesting story about anything – it’s all in the execution, I believe.

    I totally mesh with his ambivalent birthday feels. If I were his wife, I’d have got him Thelma and Louise on VHS, and some kind of cheap crappy card with a lame ‘turning 50’ joke on it.

    • LadySlippers says:

      Really? I wouldn’t re-watch T&L, I’d recreate that scene!!!! Screw watching it!
      (Not sure if pun was intended. Probably though… knowing my in-the-gutter mind)

      • Happyhat says:

        I’m totally taking your pun, whether you intended it or not!!!

        I was going more for an ironic “let me joking make you feel worse” kinda birthday present. But that’s just me.

        Thinking about it…this’ll be why I’ll probably be talking antidepressants when I turn 50!!

      • LadySlippers says:

        HappyHat, Sex is really a fantastic antidepressant. Comes with minimal side effects — especially after child bearing years have passed.

        😉

      • Happyhat says:

        😀 This must be why I’m depressed then!!

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        Sex?? sex….??
        *casts mind back to vague recollection of something involving a man*
        Nope, you’ve lost me there. I know not of what you are speaking of…

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        But here is my happy moment. I had my b’day on the weekend and what do I see on pay TV movie channel that day??????
        The Deep Blue Sea!
        *clings to tree branch to prevent swooning and falling to the ground*

        So awesomely awesome I had to dance a-la Tom in Korea!

      • LadySlippers says:

        Squirrel,
        You’re not the only one a tad fuzzy on remembering fun activities with men.
        *sad sigh*
        Hopefully it IS like riding a bike…

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        Riding a bike is bloody hard work and I fell off the last one I tried to ride (shall blame a faulty chain rather than the 3 vodka & limes I had just prior to the incident).

      Tell me about it! And everything is more … intense, too. 🙂

  2. Luca26 says:

    Brad has gone on record that him and Cruise don’t get along so I kind of doubt he would do it. It may be a decent project but it seems like desperation on TC’s part to court Pitt.

    • LadySlippers says:

      Really? I’m glad as I think anyone collaborating with Cruise is not a good career move on their part. Not 50 Shades movie *bad* but still bad.

    • Kim1 says:

      What??? Brad just told Extratv last year he and Cruise were friends.

    • doofus says:

      good to hear. I really hope Pitt doesn’t tie himself to the crazy that is Cruise.

      side note: that color they put on the Jolie wax figure is the kind of color she should wear on red carpets. I know she loves black (as do I) but she looks fab in jewel tones.

    • lisa2 says:

      Not sure what record you are talking about. But I have not seen where Brad has said such a thing about Tom. In fact I don’t recall Brad saying anything negative about anyone.

      something some actors should try.

      Regarding the US mag story. They don’t know squat. As a poster (Kim1) below pointed out. They had no idea Brad was in OZ with the family. Nor that he has had the children off and on during the filming of Fury. Brad has been very low key and not many pics of him at all in London. Doubt they know anything at all.

      anyway as a fan I can’t wait to see the family all together again. loonie swoon..

    • Luca26 says:

      Sorry according to Google he’s gone on record to Entertainment Weekly that he was miserable working on Interview that he tried to get out of it until he found out it would cost him 40 mill. The full article isn’t on line but I could have sworn there were minor passive aggressive digs at TC in there but since there isn’t proof I’ll back off and bow out.

      • Kim1 says:

        Your comment was” they don’t get along” not they didnt get along twenty years ago.I didn’t get along with my current best friend when we were in high school.Also Brad has stated he didnt enjoy making the film,filming at night,wearing contact lens ,pasty makeup,etc.He never made negative comments about any of his co stars that I can recall.

      • Luca26 says:

        I’ve put myself in the hot seat… But google Brad Pitt Tom Cruise feud and more than one rumor comes up (yes I know it’s circumstantial) . So that EW article back a few years seemed like a confirmation that there was some tension between the two actors that lived onHonestly considering Cruise’s reputation for being a narcissistic, control freak, cult member it’s more than likely that Brad wouldn’t like him. I don’t consider that an insult to Brad just logical he’s a laid back kind of guy and at this point why would he bother?
        Still I’m going to apologize for offending Brad fans a second time and hope that’s the end of it.

      • Kim1 says:

        I am not a fan of Cruise but I just saw interviews with both of them on Extra.Tom saying he knew Brad would make a great father by how he interacted with Cruise’s daughter on the set.In Brad’s interview he said he and Tom were friends now.Maybe they didn’t get along in 94.My issue was you saying its on record they don’t get along Now.

      • Emma - the JP Lover says:

        @Luca26, who wrote: “Sorry according to Google he’s gone on record to Entertainment Weekly that he was miserable working on Interview that he tried to get out of it until he found out it would cost him 40 mill.

        He wasn’t happy, but I don’t think it had anything to do with the other actors. The film was a bit dark for him and he couldn’t get out of it (for some reason, contractual or otherwise). LOL!! Not to mention the fact that Anne Rice was hanging around the set and didn’t hold back on her opinion that Tom Cruise was excellent as Lestat, but Brad Pitt just wasn’t ‘getting’ the Louis role. I think Brad’s mood helped make Louis one of his best roles.

        Anne Rice really surprised me, because I’ve always thought that Tom Cruise was miscast as Lestat, from his height to his features (there is nothing remotely ‘French Aristocrat’ about Tom Cruise). I don’t hate Tom Cruise, and I love some of his work, but the Lestat role called for a more talented, subtle actor. I think Tom is a very charismatic ‘in your face’ kind of actor, who unfortunately doesn’t do ‘subtle’ very well.

    • Guesswho says:

      Liar, Pitt always say he adore Tom and has fond memories from IWTV. Anyway, don’t think Cruise need Pitt for his movies !! lol

  3. LadySlippers says:

    So Cruise gets his reputation has taken a nose-dive and wants to hitch his wagon to Pitt’s. Hmmmm…

    Good move for Cruise but personally I think it’s a bad move for Pitt. Story is good Brad but stay away from Tom! He cray-cray.

    • Tulip Garden says:

      Agree.

      • LadySlippers says:

        *mumbles*

        Fertiliser stealer.

      • Tulip Garden says:

        *Petals turn furious shade of red*

        Sorry, Ladyslippers, I knew I shouldn’t but I couldn’t resist. I just want to be like you all dewy AND strong! I blame it on Christmas…everyone will see me and I will be judged by this one time of year…so, yeah, I needed it more than you! Also, Sorry.

        *Uses petals to arrange fertilizer to best advantage*

      • LadySlippers says:

        Seriously?!? THAT’s your excuse??? In a few months time, people will be tripping all over themselves as you and Daffodil herald in Spring. And your cousins’ images will be all over — heck you’re even a national flower!

        Me? Most people have never seen me and I’m super fragile to boot. If you pick me, I die! In England, a cousin of mine is guarded with *real* police officers. As they think it just her and one other cousin in all of England (not true but we LadySlippers are determined not to reveal our other cousins locations).

        Hmph.

        *turns away still pouting*

      • Amy Tennant says:

        You two are cracking me up with your blooming antics.

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        Good lord. Has someone been watering you two with vodka again?? You’re obviously being over-fertilized and the BS is starting to spout forth from your mouths. Don’t make me come down out of my tree and paddle your petals. Now shake roots and make up.

      • LadySlippers says:

        Where Tulip did we ask for Squirrel’s assistance???

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        *shakes paw at LadySlippers*

        There’s a vase in my cupboard with your name on it if you don’t play nice. An orchid on my Christmas table would look very special…

      • Tulip Garden says:

        *peaks out from behind spade*

        Hey Secret Squirrel, I’ll be good. Don’t hurt my petals. Your too fuzzy wuzzy to want to punish us surely, Squirrelly *Puts leaves behind back and gives big eyes*. But we get along better with vodka if you have any.

        *Extends leaf to LadySlippers* Sorry LadySlippers, I’ll even have Secret Squirrel bring you a paw full of fertilizer to apologize if she’s willing.
        *Whispers to LadySlippers* I’m getting us vodka whoo-hooo!

      • LadySlippers says:

        I so forgive you my pretty Tulip!

        *opens leaves big for hug*
        House rule for apologies

        *whispers* (Tulip, have any of that flavoured ‘fancy water’?)

      • LadySlippers says:

        And Squirrel, *wails* don’t threaten me with a vase! Don’t kill me!!! Peas don’t kill me… Peas??? *very distressed*

        *sniffling & hiccuping*

        And can you retrieve a nut you planted this last summer? It’s sprouting and *sniff* crowding out my roots. *hiccup*

        Tulip, do you think she means it??? To kill me? Oh my… I know I can be stubborn and have a bit of a temper but *hiccup* not vase worthy….

        *sniff sniff*

      • Lady D says:

        Y’all are freaking hilarious. Thanks for the show.

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        Tulip and LadySlippers, I will be switching your fertilizer over to a less aggressive kind.

        @LadySlippers – I’m sorry, I was mad, things were said. Lets forget about the vase and focus on getting through the festive season without anyone being picked, plucked or trampled.

        There is “fancy water” in the fountain.
        Oh, you can’t get up and get it. Ha ha It must suck to be stuck in the ground!
        *dances Hiddles style on branch to demonstrate squirrel dexterity*
        If you both behave in the next post, I’ll dig up my nest egg (which you so coldly call a “nut”) and move it then bring you a watering can from the fountain.

        @Lady D – Thanks muchly. We have shows on every day and a matinee on Sundays. We might even live-stream our show!
        🙂

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      Yeah, usually actor’s personal lives don’t really affect me, but God. I can’t watch an old movie of Tom Cruise’s (A Few Good Men) without thinking about freaking crazy he is.

      • LadySlippers says:

        Yup. Same with Mel, Charlie, and Alec (and others).

        While I don’t believe you have to go to the extreme’s Kevin Spacey does — going way off the rails often is a bit much for me to suspend my disbelief while watching an artist perform.

      • Happyhat says:

        Same too! Though, I find Legend and Minority Report tolerable.

        With Mel, I can do Braveheart and Signs but not much else. Alec – Glen Garry Glen Ross – but that’s because it’s a small part and he plays an a****** so it’s all good.

        @LadySlippers – what does Kevin Spacey do??

      • LadySlippers says:

        HappyHat, Kevin keeps everything about his personal life under wraps. He thinks too much info about an actor/actress can complete with a character if you know too much about the actor/actress. And with a few people — he’s spot on.

        I too can sometimes stomach a few early things I love from those icky people but the more I know the less I enjoy them. Sad too.

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        Ha! He didn’t do it well enough–go look at his archives. Kevin Spacey likes to troll for booty in his leisure time…..

      • Happyhat says:

        @LadySlippers – Ahhhhh! I’d say that’s spot on too. Too much extremes would defo be exhausting, but yes – I’m happiest when I don’t know ick about people! Like…first Hunger Games, I had no idea who Liam Hemsworth was. Catching Fire, I was like…”So you were almost married to Miley….”

        I’d say that it probably affects the non-character actors more though. Like, Tom Cruise is always Tom Cruise in everything he does. So, trying to separate his personality from the person he’s playing is impossible because there’s no separation. Off the top of my head, the only opposite example I can think of right now is Oliver Reed. Like, he was a hard-core drunk, but in Oliver! he’s always just Bill Sykes (that’s probably not a good example – but you know what I mean right?!)

      • Holly says:

        HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY, VIRGILIA! I hope you have an amazing day!

        I wrote this in the Palin thread, but realize you’d be more likely to see it here ;-).

      • Lady D says:

        Mel in Last of the Mohicans. Memorable movie.

      • Lady D says:

        I tried to delete this comment but it didn’t work. Mel wasn’t in Last of the Mohicans, as I’m sure you all know. My apologies to Daniel Day Lewis.

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      Thanks you guys–for all the happy birthday wishes! It’s freezing cold where I am–it’s been snowing all week, we’ve gotten about a foot of snow already, and this site helps me procrastinate on my work even more.

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        Happy Birthday! I celebrated my birthday on the weekend and it was something insane like 100 degrees Farenheit (down here in sunny sweltering “melt your face off your skull” Australia). I wish I could have cold and snow for my birthday…

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        @Secret Squirrel
        *clenches mouth shut and calls you an unlady like name*

        I hate snow–It’s FREEZING. I want to be in Australia (or Texas, that works too).

        Happy belated b-day!

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        Next year we will totally swap birthday destinations!

        (would totally post pic of Liam Neeson for you here as a gift if I knew how to, so you will just have to take my word for it that the pic I have is HOT (think pouty and shirtless)).
        *hangs head in mild shame only that I have pic like that of your husband*

        WHAT? Oh my God–I’m going into vapors…need. smelling. salts.

        Details, woman! How’d you get a picture of him, in real life!? I thought about begging LAK for a couch when I stalk him to London, but now I know that I may need to bum one off of you instead.

        This is shaping up to be a good birthday indeed–my mom’s making a chocolate lava cake!!

      • Liberty says:

        Happy birthday!

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        It was summer.
        There was a beach.
        Liam was there.

        Natasha was with him so a few years ago now (you were probably only “knee-high to a grasshopper” as my Nan would say!).

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        Oh, and by the way, it was 104 degrees Fahrenheit here today so I am “really” wishing I had some snow about now.

  4. Virgilia Coriolanus says:

    That last picture—despite that f’ing ugly peplum, I love that dress on Angelina.

    Two nights ago, I had the weirdest dream about them. I dreamed that Brad, Angelina, and all six of the kids were in my kitchen, and I was making them pancakes (very nervously I might add), and that Pax was a huge goofball and kept twirling around with his plate, in the kitchen (like MY little brother does in the kitchen)–it was so weird.

    I never have any good celebrity dreams (read: sex dreams about my foreverdongs 🙁 )
    Another dream about a celebrity I had was Ralph Fiennes. Ralph Fiennes was like my go to dong for YEARS–since I was 13. I still like him, but he’s a little too skeezy for me now. But the dream was that I was going to be doing a Shakespeare play at school, so HE came to the school and started quoting Hamlet to me…..

    Today’s my birthday, so make the Brangelina post good!

    • Tulip Garden says:

      HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

    • LadySlippers says:

      Happy Birthday!!! I thought you were joking which is why I let the comment pass. And there’s my fellow flower beating me to the punch (all cuz she steals fertiliser!!!!).

      Anyway, have a fantastic day. 😀

    • Happyhat says:

      Count yourself lucky! In my last celeb dream, Bill Maher took me shopping for stationery.

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      Maybe I’ll get lucky tonight and have a sex dream about mah husband Liam Neeson.

      God knows he needs a pick me up–from ME.
      (although I suspect he’s beating them off with a stick)

      *grumbles under breath about SOME people not being able to read Virgilia’s husband’ tattooed on his d-ck’*

      Where’s Miss Jane (j.eyre)? I need to borrow her dominatrix outfit.

      • Happyhat says:

        You need a chastity penis-warmer! (Not for you, obvi., for your chaps!) “Dear Liam Neeson, Please can you place this contraption on your penis and post the key back to this address, and await my arrival.”

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        Happyhat, something that beautiful shouldn’t be hidden away–he just needs to learn to keep his d-ck away from every blonde haired Freyas 🙂
        Btw, does anyone know what happened with them? He hasn’t really had a public girlfriend, that I know of (and believe me, I would know–I’m a hormonal teenage girl)–I just want my Liam to be happy. Slow down with the work (he seriously has about five movies to film in 2014), spend some time with your sons, and spend the rest of that time shagging (me hopefully).

      • LadySlippers says:

        VG, I think he did step out with a woman not all that long ago… Blonde of course. Also younger (30’s I think). But not Barbie looking blonde — which is always a bonus.

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        LadySlippers, was it Freya?? That’s the blonde he was going out with a few years ago–she has a couple of kids, looks like Chloe Sevigny?

      • LadySlippers says:

        VG, I dunno…

        All I remember was calling her a mystery blonde woman. And it wasn’t me. *shrug*

        😉

        Not that I’d mind….. Although I do have some other dongs that rate higher than his…

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        LadySlippers, I’m on a Christian Bale kick right now. I don’t know what it is about me, but every once in a while, I change my go to dongs. Like I go through a phase where in my spare time I’ll watch all their interviews, all their films—tonight I’ll probably be watching Batman and Little Women (which is where he met his wife–she was Winona Ryder’s assistant or something–I wonder how that goes. Like I would be paranoid that the celeb was just effing with me, and I wouldn’t want to get embarrassed about that)–and I’m writing again–I’m totally writing an orig. fanfiction based on CB…

        This is Freya:
        http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2017611/Liam-Neesons-new-love-Freya-St-Johnston-follows-Natasha-Richardsons-footsteps.html
        I get the feeling that they’re friends/booty call (God, just like my dad’s best friend–his son is my age and he told me that on the weekends his dad leaves at like 2 in the morning and doesn’t come back until 6 or 7–he’s divorced), but he hasn’t really been seen w/anyone else. Maybe he’s learned to avoid the paps–there was probably a resurgence in interest, to see who he was seeing, poor man.

      • The Original G says:

        @ VC. Is today your birthday?

        All the best! Hmmm. Scorpio.

      • LadySlippers says:

        Oh VG, I go on kicks too. *sigh* So that never goes away…

        Bale hmmm? He is a cutie. 🙂 But not for me. You enjoy imagining a little birthday dong…

        ETA: tomorrow is MY son’s 18th birthday. *gulp* Wow I feel old! Lol

      • LadySlippers says:

        VG, No this was an unidentified blonde that I think was w/i the last 6 months or so.

        You blonde? 😉

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        Ladyslippers, alas, unfortunately I am not–I’m biracial: black, native American, irish. Basically I have the same skin tone as Angelina (what’s even better is that I don’t tan or burn–if I’m out in the sun all day when it’s really hot, then I get a little pink-but no sunburn). I have dark brown hair and eyes–my hair is usually an afro (it is VERY thick, curly, and a huge pain to deal with), but I got it straightened, so it’s still really thick, but straight–my mom’s trying to talk me into dreadlocks.

        BUT I think my other attributes–mainly my size D boobs (that I swear keep getting bigger) and my baking skills can lure him over to the dark side…..:) Him and Bale–but Liam was the first celebrity I had a crush on, when I was 13–it was him and Ralph Fiennes, after I saw Schindler’s List.

        And about your son: Ha! I always forget that most of you guys are a lot older than me…..I always picture people my age for some reason. I would freak out if my kid was turning eighteen too–I don’t feel any different from when I was 15 or 16, and am always shocked when another birthday comes and goes.

        Re: Bale—I’ve been obsessively watching his scenes in the New World–the romantic ones w/Pocahontas (can’t remember the actress’s name). Sigh. He needs to do more films like that. He was so sweet…

        All the best! Hmmm. Scorpio. ”

        Nope. Scorpio is a water sign (October 23rd – November 21st). Our girl is a fire sign, Sagittarius (November 22nd – December 21st). 🙂

        Happy Birthday, Virgilia Coriolanus! You young whippersnapper. 🙂

      • Lady D says:

        Happy Birthday Virgilia. As a gift, I’m going to help you row to Australia. I almost cried when I read that 100 degrees post. It’s been snowing all month. I have about 2 feet in my untouched front yard. Rumour has it we’re looking at another 20cm tonight and tomorrow. I hate winter. I really believe the bears have the right idea. You eat, sleep, and wait for spring.

    • Maya says:

      Happy Birthday VC:)

      I wished you on the previous Brad thread but will do it again since we have another thread up today;)

    Since USWeekly had no idea Brad was in Australia Thanksgiving weekend until five days after he left. Nor did they know the four older kids were in England for almost four weeks.I don’t put much faith in this article.As for THR they are pretty accurate so I believe that story.

  6. Enny says:

    Don’t get me wrong, he does look pretty great for 50, but it’s still kind of sad to see him looking so bloated and haggard after the hotness of 10 years ago.

  7. mkyarwood says:

    Haha, aw, button. He is feeling sensitive about his age (as we could tell for a few years of sweatpants fashionz). Maybe he doesn’t want anything but that island.

  8. Emma - the JP Lover says:

    (Blinks) The was figure above absolutely ‘does’ look like Angelina Jolie. They’ve captured her (them both) beautifully. 🙂

    And on a side note: I don’t think Brad looks bloated at all.

  9. Violeta says:

    We must have different eyeballs then because the wax statue totally looks like A. Jolie!

    I’m all for a Cruise-Pitt reunion. They were great in Interview With A Vampire, hell Tom Cruise was at the top of his acting game! If the project happens, hope that they’ll deliver something quite good.

    • Amy Tennant says:

      I remember being so surprised and delighted to see my brat prince on screen! Tom absolutely captured Lestat! That was my first Brad Pitt movie, and he was so gorgeous. And Antonio in the red robe… I was a little teenage goth at the time, and that movie was so swoonworthy for me. I think I may have to dig it up, so to speak, and watch it again…

  10. serena says:

    Dear god Angelina’s wax statue is really creepy (and yeah, looks more like a really old and vampireque version of her, lol)! Anyway I feel Brad.. I mean, I was depressed just right after being 25, so I can sort of imagine what he’s going through, maybe. Whatever, he’s still hot!!!

  11. Dawn says:

    I truly feel that! I haven’t wanted anything on my new decade birthday since 30 either. Still he is looking so good for the 50+ club, love him.

  12. ANDREA1 says:

    Am 24 and my 25th birthday is coming up in january and I feel kind of depressed and I swear I don’t know why! My guy is planning a big party for Me but I tried to discourage him and he told Me he totally gets how I feel and that I will get over it.. I hope I do.
    On another note, I think the wax looks like Angelina and they even got her leg pose 🙂 😉 and I can’t wait to see the family together again.

  13. LoLoLoLoL says:

    The wax figure of old pittstain looks just like he did before the botox he had this year before filming that Shia Labeef movie. He no longer has the wrinkles and he now looks bloated and, well, WAXY. Why are his cheeks always rosey too? Anywho, I guess it was worth it being away from his family for months to get the chance to work with Shia Labeef. Ha! What an outstanding pahtna.

    aJ prob bought him a gift certificate to get more botox , cigarettes and some booze. Basically what he most likely asked for.

    As for Tommy wanting to work with him… It’s probably because he needs to show he can act again…he acted circles around pittstain during that vampire movie.

    • Kim1 says:

      Poor,bitter @LOL
      Obviously AJ loves his waxy,bloated face since she chose him to father her kids ,create a family and therefore be a part of her life FOREVER.Graduations,grandchildren,etc

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        That’s what my mom’s been telling me–trying to give me some early advice about dating. The dude you have kids with doesn’t go out of your life (unless he completely abandons you and the kid) just because you break up. Are you really going to want to be one of those parents who throws a fit because the other parent is going to be there?

      • LoLoLoLoL says:

        Oh look kimmy is mad at me for having an opinion different from hers. LoLoL

        She luvs him so much she made a trip to London to visit him for his 50th. 50 is a big one too. Oh wait no, she didn’t, haha. Sucks for Brange fans to see how Jolly Jolie is in Australia without Pittstain.

        If she decides to continue this phony relash I’m betting she’ll start working at the same time he does more often. She is just so much lighter and smiley when he’s not around.

        Tbh, this is my favorite era of pittstainJolina because Angelina finally looks genuinely happy.

      • Sal says:

        Whamo give it up. We all know you’re an Aniston stan from DListed and JJ, so totally pissed off that this couple is still together, and your idol and her cheating douche have been faking it at Huvane’s insistence virtually since day one. I know it infuriates you, but karma is like that. 😉

  14. mccora96 says:

    Again- an inside source knows what Brad or Angie are seeing or thinking about ANYTHING much less birthdays and then this source talked to US Weekly??  Yeah, right!  Quite frankly, I don’t get the trend of adults throwing themselves giant parties (some “stars” even invite the media- yikes!) for their birthday, but whatever.  As odd as the whole wax figure thing is (IMO), it is HUGE that Brad & Angie’s star/crowd-drawing power is so mega that they UPDATED their wax figures- that sort of enduring, multi decade star power is so rare.

    • ANDREA1 says:

      True in earnest! 😉

    • Emma - the JP Lover says:

      @Mccora96 …

      Absolutely! I didn’t think about that. 🙂 I wonder … did they redo the set of wax figures they had of Angie and Brad, or did they make new figures, to set side by side with the originals?

  15. Aysla says:

    I don’t know… the wax figure looks like her, but only if we were looking at a very photoshopped and vampire-like picture of her. Why did they choose to do a wax figure of Pitt doing his squinty eye thing? That makes the contrast between the two figures that much more stark.

    Movies about cars are insanely boring to me. Although I will admit that the F&F franchise was a (very) guilty pleasure…

  16. Maya says:

    Haven’t we all (the public and the media) learned that we know nothing about Brad & Angelina’s plans present & future since the mastectomy announcement?

    Unlike other wannabe A-listers who plants & denies rumours on weekly basis or even gets their showbusiness friends and sources to talk to the media about their private lives – Brad and Angelina have never and will never to that.

    Brad and Angelina have loyal family members and friends (both in Hollywood and outside) who never betrays their trust and tells the world. Both the JPs and friends don’t ever talk about their friendships nor do they call the paps whenever their are going to have their annual parties or while going to someone else’s party.

    For all we know – Brad is in Australia celebrating with his family as we speak. Even if he isn’t then who cares? If a birthday comes on a weekday then most people go on with their lives and then celebrate it during the weekend. Maybe that is what brad and Angie has planned but as I have already mentioned – no one ever knows their plans.

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      I really like Brad’s family–sort of reminds me of my mom’s side. I love that no matter how much they may have disagreed over his choices, they still loved and supported him throughout them–didn’t do a ‘we told you so’ when things went wrong (at least not publically, and not anything he’s ever mentioned), etc. I bet they had a heart attack when he dropped out of school and went to Hollywood. But they just seem so caring and loving–I read his sister’s blog, and I was really struck by how they just completely embraced Angelina, and the two older kids. I came across it, in my adoption googling, and I remember this one part where she said that she adopted from Ethiopia because of ‘her new niece’, and that’s how she started her charity there. It was really sweet.

  17. ANDREA1 says:

    Kim1 why do you even bother answering LOL
    Don’t waste your precious time girl 🙂

  18. Janet says:

    50 depressing, are you kidding? That was the best birthday of my life. 40 was depressing but 50 was fabulous.

    • LadySlippers says:

      Good to know!

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      Janet, my mom’s turning fifty next year–she’s already planning to go on a cruise with all of her siblings (there are six of them and they were all born in 7 years)…..she feels fabulous already. I’m glad that she’s never been one to freak out about age–I’ve never heard her do it. Beyond her grumbling about forgetting wherever she put something, that is.

      Is that just a thing that Hollywood wants us to think–I’m thinking of that dumb movie ‘This is 40’–I only saw the trailer, but seriously? Do women do that? Make the whole family pretend that they’re 38 or however old.
