Earlier we posted a video of Brad Pitt hanging out in the rain in his boxers. The video was made by avant-garde artist Robert Wilson last year and was evidently only supposed to be part of his artistic video project. While we were very excited to to see the video turned into a cover image for the December Vanity Fair, it turns out that Brad was not. Unlike most cover boys, apparently he had no idea and was shocked by the news. TMZ reports:
Reps for Vanity Fair tell TMZ, "In a letter dated October 5, 2006, and sent to Pitt care of Brillstein-Grey [Pitt's managers], Wilson informed Pitt that a still image from his portrait was going to be featured in the December art issue of Vanity Fair." A source says that Pitt never saw the letter.
Pitt's lawyers are said to be weighing their legal options. His rep gave the following statement to TMZ: "We are very disappointed that Vanity Fair has chosen to put an unauthorized cover on their magazine. It seriously makes me question their integrity and motives."
A rep for Vanity Fair tells TMZ: "Brad Pitt posed for a Robert Wilson video portrait, and in the photo release (signed by Pitt), agreed to allow Wilson to use the portrait or any images from that sitting in connection with any publicity on Wilson's video project. Vanity Fair decided to do a story on Wilson's video portraits and obtained rights to the entire collection of photographs from those sittings, which included Pitt's."
Most actors can't wait to land a VF cover. Besides, in the name of Art you would think Brad would be OK attaching his name to the story. I guess he just feels like he is a pretty face (and body) to sell issues on the newsstand. Oh poor Brad.
The season premiere of The O.C. is just one day away! This year Rachel Bilson steps up to leading lady now that Mischa is gone. We can't wait to see what they have planned for Summer and the whole gang this season. Here's more:
The episode, titled “The Avengers,” finds the gang adjusting to life without Marissa’s smiling face, sweeps-season lesbianism and chair-in-the-pool-tossing ways. Without her rampant materialism as an influence, Summer has reinvented herself as a environmental activist (egad!), while Ryan is going back to his choker-wearing, bad-boy ways and Taylor finds refuge in the diner so no one will know that she’s not in Paris.
The real question is - will The O.C. be the same without Mischa Barton? What will Ryan do without her - oh right - he'll be some sort of cagefighter. We just want to see our favorite couple back on the small screen. If you absolutely can't wait until Thursday to find out, you can watch it now on myspace. Call us old fashioned but we appreciate season premiere nights so we're waiting - that means no spoilers in comments people.
Lots more pics of Rachel Bilson looking adorable as usual so read more
Sister celebrities are making the magazine rounds. First Jessica and Ashlee did a spread in OK and now Lindsay and little sister Ali are opening up in the November issue of CosmoGIRL, as well as gracing the cover. And you can bet LL has lots of advice to give her little sis. “I’m very protective of her,” Lindsay says about her 12-year-old sister.” “I feel like I’m a mother to her in a way. She’s like my child.” Here's more highlights:
On showing Ali the ropes, Lindsay says:
“I think it’s important to let kids live and learn,” Lohan says.
“The more you shelter them from things, which my parents never did, the
more they go out and rebel. I never felt like I had to hide anything.”
And as far as men are concerned, LL says:
“Never take anything too seriously and just kind of go with it day by
day,” adds Lindsay. “And always have a few guys on the side as a
backup.”
Her main advice to Ali is “Life is short. Live fast!” I don't know if that's the best advice to give a twelve year-old, but to each her own. Let's hope though that Ali will wait awhile before keeping a few guys on the side as a backup! For more pics of the piece just read more
As K-Fed is everywhere promoting his debut album, Playing with Fire, Life & Style is reporting once again that he and Britney are having issues. Apparently they still aren't getting along, and Britney is back to checking into hotels. L&S reports:
Things went further than usual on the night of Oct. 23, when Brit became so annoyed with her husband, she left their Malibu home and checked in to the Hotel Bel-Air. “She looked like she’d had a rough night and needed to get some sleep,” says an eyewitness. “She wasn’t in a good mood.”
Britney, 24, made her point: She was angry that Kevin, 28, was paying more attention to his career (his album, Playing With Fire, went on sale on Oct. 31) than to their kids, Sean, 1, and Jayden, 7 weeks. “It was Kevin at his worst,” says a Spears family friend. “He made Brit and the kids seem like bit players on his stage.”
And Britney has had enough. “She told Kevin that he’s on warning,” says a Spears family insider. “He was acting like a pig, so she left for a while.”
Britney was supposed to make an appearance with K-Fed at his album release party last night so hopefully we'll get some fabulous Brit pics soon. Will this answer our question as to if these two are fighting....Stay tuned...
Guess who doesn't want to be seen so she's hiding behind a pizza box. I mean, isn't that where you always hide when you don't want to be seen?? No clue since her nail polish gives it away.
Remember we told you Posh was launching a blog. Well we signed up for more news and today we got an email from Ms Posh. She said:
Hi all-
Thanks so much for all your support yesterday, I was overwhelmed by how many of you came to my book signing and particularly those that travelled from far afield to meet me. I had also heard that some people had been queuing since 6am which is absolutely amazing and is much appreciated. You all made the day very special for me, I hope you enjoy the book and have as much fun reading it as I had writing it.
Love, Victoria
Apparently it was a huge success so congrats for Lady Beckham. For more pics of Posh read more
