The second half of Brad Pitt's Today Show interview with Ann Curry aired this morning, and this time the focus was on Inglourious Basterds instead of his work in New Orleans or political platforms. Brad talked about working with Tarantino, trying to learn French, and how he only chooses projects based on the "company he keeps" these days. Plus, he chatted about his upcoming animated superhero movie, which is finally something of his all his kids can enjoy. Brad skipped a few of the premieres for Basterds, including the star-studded one in NYC last night, but he's still doing his part to promote the movie, which hits theaters this Friday.

It's like he's wearing uniform now..
1OMFG OMFG OMFG I AM SO FREAKING SICK of hearing about this 'Besterds' movie! Sh*t, everywhere I turn, there it is! It must be like the best movie of all time or something. Talk about overexposure, jeez. Enough already
2The guy is gross and I'm really starting to wonder why people don't call him out for using his "charity" and his children to sell movies. in never fails. If brad Pitt has a movie coming out you know damn well that he will be photographed touring New Orleans with his children and giving interviews from Nola.
3Tarantino said Brad used drugs and drank four bottled of wine while his nannies put the kids to be and Angelina was in the hospital with twins. what a caring father and boyfriend. NOT!
4he's always on the today show it seems. i think that he and ann have a great relationship by now right?
5Do they have Ann Curry on payroll or something????
6ilanac, Ann is the only one that gets interviews from Angelina and Brad. it's because she's like Larry king... no hard ball questions. She kisses Brangelina's butts.
7They are spending more money on promotion than production.
8Must be one lousy movie!
this isnt even the worst of ann curry, usually she cant seem to control herself that GASP she is sitting in front of brad pitt or GASP angelina jolie, its so cringe worthy
that said, brad pitt seems like a rather affable guy!
9I hated Brad Pitt's interview in People last week...he supposedly took real questions from real people..on every question that was asked he NEVER really answered it..only gave word soup to skate by every single question..he makes me sick in that he pretends he has this perfect family when it's so clear he doesn't.
10It's a morning show where celebrities promote their movies, music, etc not 60 Minutes. You only get fluff on all of morning shows. Mel Gibson's pregnant girlfriend was on Goodmorning America and not one question was asked about him. Brad visits New Orleans several times a year even when he doesn't have a movie out and still people say he's just promoting himself/image. Besides since he's doing interviews it only makes sense to promote a cause anyway.
11Some of you are so ridiculous!! If you hate Brad Pitt so much, why even reply on a message board about him? Why waste your time? Surely you have better things to do than write nasty, hateful things about someone you dislike!! Or, do you??
Tarentino was on Howard Stern where he said those things about Brad and pot. Tarentino is a druggie; he fell asleep drunk in one of the showings of IB and when he was picked up to be taken back to the hotel, he had peed on himself. How can you believe what he says??
As Lyllie pointed out, Brad visits New Orleans several times a year. Sometimes his visits are only reported in the NO paper and sometimes national papers pick it up. But he doesn't just show up there when he has a movie to promote. If he did his housing project would not get done and it is very much getting done. Also, when was the last time you saw Brad Pitt with his children? Not recently, except for that phone picture at the Green Day concert and that was blurry.
"I hated Brad Pitt's interview in People last week..." Then why did you bother reading it? Again, why waste you valuable time?
"...he makes me sick in that he pretends he has this perfect family when it's so clear he doesn't" Clear? Clear to whom? Just because you prefer to believe the rag mags rather than believe what Brad actually says in interviews? Why? And if "it's so clear he doesn't" then why is he keeping up a facade? He didn't love his ex and left her, which obviously means he doesn't stay in relationships that are over. Why is he staying in this one?
None of you have any clue what goes on in the lives of celebrities (unless they make a sex tape). So, my advice is that you ignore those you don't like and spare us fans your vitriol!! It's boring . . . really!! At least come up with something new to say.
12Some of you are so ridiculous!! If you hate Brad Pitt so much, why even reply on a message board about him? Why waste your time? Surely you have better things to do than write nasty, hateful things about someone you dislike!! Or, do you??
Why??? let's see: it's called exchange of oponions. It's more interesting to talk to people whose opinions you don't share.
13Do you only talk to people who have the same views as yourself? Must be challenging.
Second of all, I don't think you are in a position to tell anyone what they can and can't do. Freedom of speech, how about that?
Finally, why visit a website where you will find posts from people who don't love your idol. Don't you have better things to do.
I thought he seemed like a nice guy, always does. This is required PR as an actor to promote his film... which by the way is produced by the WEINSTEIN CO. and they are intense about promoting their movies. It doesn't surprise me one bit that we've seen Inglourious Basterds everywhere.
14After dropping out of "State of Play", having "Moneyball" cancelled and after barely breaking even with the $300 Benjamin Button, Pitt needs a real hit and badly.
So obviously, it's time to sell the Brand that is Brad. His love life, his kids, his charities. Since we've heard it all a million times already he just re-packaged it a tiny bit. Now it's time to talk about his sex life, his drug habits, and as usual, his children and his charities. The other 5% is left over to actually talk about the movie.
Once the movie comes out, it's back to b i t c h ing about how he and his family have no privacy. And yes, Ann Curry is on the payroll. And of course, there's Curry's male equivalent Anderson Cooper who practically hyperventilates every time he is in BRAND-gelina's presence. Just like People Magazine. If you're willing to pay $22 million dollars for 2 pictures of their kids and stop using the phrase Brangelina, you'll agree to only write positive articles.
They're great at PR. I don't care what their fans say. This isn't just some down-to-earth guy talking about his regular life. There are hundreds of millions of dollars at stake and this is show business. The BUSINESS of SHOW.
15MSLEWIS, Bravo. The rest take a hyke.
16sorry HIKE.
