Brad Pitt

Brad intends to "Make It Right." BRAD PITT continues his efforts to help out the victims of New Orleans' Hurricane Katrina -- the movie star is part of a commitment to build 150 new homes in the city's Lower Ninth Ward. Brad is partnering with producer and philanthropist STEVE BING on his "Make It Right" project, which aims to re-build the New Orleans community that was hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina. "The heart and soul of New Orleans, specifically the people of the Lower 9th Ward, are paramount to this project," said Brad, who announced his plan at today's meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative in New York, a forum aimed at solving some of the world's most pressing challenges. "The words of one elderly man who is determined to return to New Orleans led to the name of our organization: He asked us, directly simply and profoundly, to help make it right. So that's what we're doing," he said. Pitt and Bing each pledged...

Brad Pitt is a saint! He just got done donating $2 million alongside Angelina Jolie to help fight TB in Ethiopia, and now he’s helping fight an anti-gay marriage ballot initiative.

Brad Pitt Achilles Troy is one of several sweeping, historical epics that probably wen t into pre-production the moment Gladiator s first weekend box office receipts came in. Other upcoming releases in this genre include King Arthur , Oliver Stones Alexander (based on the life of Alexander thea Great), and Hannibal the Conqueror (with Vin Diesel in the lead role).

Even though the theme of Troy is the importance of doing something that will be remembered for eternity, I doubt if this movie will be remembered much longer than the time it takes to end its theatrical run and begin its release on DVD.
