Brad Pitt has shaved off his raggle-taggle beard and looks like a hunk again.
The movie star was spotted out and about in Los Angeles with partner Angelina Jolie on Saturday (12Jun10) – and something was missing.
The beard, which gave Pitt a wizened hermit look, has been a part of the actor’s image for the past year.
Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary by renewing their vows at a star-studded housewarming party in their new California mansion on Saturday (05Jun10).
The couple, who married on 5 June 2004, reportedly invited 200 guests to their new home in the San Fernando Valley, which they purchased earlier this year (10) for just under $10 million .
Fellow A-list couples Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were reportedly among those asked to attend the bash.
The pair’s party invitation, obtained by People.com, reads: “A new beginning. Please join us as we ‘warm our house’ with a 6th anniversary party.”
The couple previously renewed their vows in 2008.
Scarlett Johansson has swapped Los Angeles for rural Louisiana – the actress and her husband Ryan Reynolds are the proud new owners of a rustic farmhouse in the state.
The actress put her Hollywood Hills mansion on the market for $5 million in February (10), amid rumors the couple was planning to live full-time in New York City, where they also own a property.
But now the Hollywood stars appear to have picked Louisiana as their base, while Reynold films his role in new superhero blockbuster Green Lantern in the region.
They have purchased a simple two-storey farmhouse in Louisiana, complete with a rusty tin-roofed barn, according to Britain’s Daily Mail.
Other stars to buy property in the southern state include Sandra Bullock, who owns a large home in New Orleans, and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who also boast a property in the Big Easy.
Hip-hop star Wyclef Jean has urged pals Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to consider adopting a baby from his native Haiti.
The former Fugees star has been part of the relief effort in his homeland following a January (10) earthquake, which ravaged the nation, and now he hopes Jolie will follow up a February (10) visit to Haiti by taking in an orphaned child.
He says, “Brad and Angie, please adopt a child from Haiti!”
The couple is famous for adopting kids from around the globe – they’re the proud parents of kids from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam.
Hollywood star Don Cheadle is set to be honored as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for his work to save the planet.
The Hotel Rwanda actor first teamed up with the U.N. last year (09) to front its climate change campaign, urging world leaders to sign a treaty limiting greenhouse gas emissions.
Cheadle’s efforts have won him high praise from organization officials and he will be promoted to a Goodwill Ambassador during a special ceremony next month (Jun10).
He says, “I will be named officially in Rwanda on June 5th, a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Environmental program. I’ll be in Rwanda on June 5th.”
Cheadle’s philanthropy work does not stop there – he is also a key voice in the call for an end to the genocide in Darfur, Sudan, establishing the Not On Our Watch charity with his Ocean’s Eleven co-stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon.
Brad Pitt is holding up plans to bring a gripping piece of folklore to the big screen and movie great Robert Duvall is urging him to prioritise the project.
Duvall hopes to reteam with his Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper for a movie retelling of the famous feud between Virginia families the Hatfields and the McCoys, but they can’t get started on the film until Pitt schedules it.
The Godfather star reveals Cooper and Pitt met in Venice, Italy to discuss the film and top scriptwriter Eric Roth’s screenplay – and now everything hinges on the Babel star’s commitment to play opposite Duvall in the period piece.
The film chronicles the battles between the two neighbouring pioneer families who fought on opposite sides of the American Civil War and long after the Union and Confederate armies stopped fighting.
One of their most famous battles was over the ownership of a pig.
And Duvall, who turns 80 in January (11), wants to make the epic before he’s too old to take on a leading part.
He tells WENN, “Scott’s on board and (Crazy Heart composer) T-Bone Burnett would do the music. It’s like American Shakespeare; the two families fighting 30 years over a pig!
“Their lineage goes back to England and the music and the songs and even some of their feuding goes back that far. Eric Roth wrote this brilliant script and he wrote backwards through books. It’s brilliant and it should be done.
“The role of Devil Anse, the head of the Hatfields, was written for me and Brad would be the main guy in it. He loves the script but he has so many options that he’s putting it off. Hopefully they’ll do it but it’s all up to Brad Pitt to release it. He controls the project with Warner Brothers.”
