There’s no denying he’s one of the most
desired men on the globe, and Brad Pitt lends his hotness to Chanel for their
new No. 5 fragrance ad campaign.
In the newly-released 30-second clip, the
“Fight Club” stud gazes into the camera while lulling ladies into a trance with
his soothing voice.
Pitt chatted about his experience working
with Chanel on the new initiative during a recent interview.
“What’s important to remember about
Chanel N°5 is how revolutionary this fragrance is; when it was introduced, it
broke all the rules.”
“N°5 has always been the most iconic
women’s fragrance. That’s what I see being the appeal of this campaign; it goes
beyond the abstract of emotion or beauty to evoke what is timeless: a woman’s
spirit.”
With his new movie "Killing Them Softly"
set to hit theaters on November 30, Brad Pitt garnered himself a little added
exposure by covering the November 2012 issue of Interview magazine.
The 48-year-old actor looked handsome as
he suited up for the Steven Klein shot spread while talking about topics
including his acting career and his passion to be behind the camera.
On choosing his films:
"Yeah. I mean, as you know, so much of
making movies is about discovery on the day, what you're figuring out. If you
know everything going in, then it's not worth doing—it's already done. So I'm
interested in finding people who I think have a voice—and a very specific voice.
It's hard to be surprised by a film. It's hard to be surprised by another actor
or by a director when you've seen enough and been around. So when I am, or when
I forget that I'm watching someone's movie, or when I don't know how someone
made a certain turn that I didn't expect . You know, I'm in."
On using different dialects in his
work:
"Well, you know, I like a bit of song,
and dialect is a song. I'm most comfortable with the Southern dialects, really.
It's easy, for example, for me to do Irish because we've got Irish heritage
where I come from. We also have some German heritage. The Upper East Coast,
though, is a little bit more connected to a British heritage."
On his producing career:
"Yeah. I'd rather be behind the camera.
As a producer, obviously, you're part of a team that brings the story to the
screen. It wouldn't be there if you didn't champion it or if you and a group of
people weren't championing it. I like that."
After a 15 month stint together,
AnnaLynne McCord and Dominic Purcell have officially ended their
relationship.
After the split, a source told Us Weekly,
“Though AnnaLynne's not in a rush to get married, her sisters getting engaged
must have made her evaluate her own relationship to some degree.”
The source added that Purcell appeared to
be more into AnnaLynne than she was into him,” adding that their relationship
was imbalanced.
Despite their 17-year age difference, the
couple made it work for months, but it eventually fell apart. Dominic was
previously married to Rebecca Williamson. The former couple has four children
together.
Angelina Jolie ’s a woman on a mission,
and earlier today (September 14) Angelina Jolie spent some time with Syrian
refugees in Kilis, Turkey.
The “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” actress wore an
all-black getup as she met with both adults and children who were among the
12,000 folks occupying the Oncupinar camp.
And though she tried to promote a
positive message, Angelina also expressed concerns over the welfare of the
refugees as temperatures begin to drop later this year.
Jolie shared, “The coming winter is a
very large concern for all of us. We want to make sure no one freezes to death
in this very frightening time.”
Taking care of some promotional duties,
Nicki Minaj hit the streets in New York City earlier today (September
24).
Sporting a hot pink hat and matching
jacket with blue and white trousers, the “Super Bass” babe paid a visit to “The
View” as well as Hot 97 Radio Studios to talk about the upcoming season of
“American Idol.”
During her chat on “The View,” Nicki
didn’t exactly extinguish the rumors that she’s not getting along very well with
Mariah Carey.
Joy Behar asked Minaj, “How is it going?”
Nicki shot back, “It’s going pretty good,” adding, “[Mariah’s] really, really
funny. I didn’t know Keith. But with Randy, I kind of knew him through the
industry, and he’s kind of crazy.”
Bringing her star power to Mercedes Benz
Fashion Week, Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson was quite the busy lady over the past few
days while showcasing the spring 2013 Case-Mate line on Wednesday and, more
recently, joining Wet n Wild on Thursday evening (September 13) to unveil their
two new 2013 collections.
The Black Eyed Peas frontwoman looked hot
to trot in an all-black ensemble as she showed off products including her On
Edge Creme Liner, Perfect Pout Lip Color and Turn Up the Volume Mascara while
guests were treated to cocktails to help liven up the atmosphere.
Aside from the fashion-related banter,
DIY Fashion's Amber Milt asked Fergie about whether she and actor hubby Josh
Duhamel possibly might be expanding the family anytime soon.
Sounding ready to take on the role of
mother, the 37-year-old replied with an enthusiastic, "Yeah!"
Expanding on the parenthood prospect a
bit further, the "I Gotta Feeling" songstress said, "It's definitely something
that we're interested in doing and we've made no secret of that so we'll be very
excited when it happens."
Nicki Minaj's an endless source of
creative goodness, and Nicki Minaj has just released a brand new song titled
“The Boys.”
The “Super Bass” songstress brought her
gal pal Cassie along on the project to lend some of her sweet vocals to the
recipe.
“The Boys” is included on Nicki’s
re-release of Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded called The Re-Up, a must for all true
fans.
Earlier this week, Miss Minaj took to her
Twitter page to tease fans with the one-word tweet, “Thursday,” indicating that
she had something special planned for today.
Following in her famous parents'
footsteps, little Vivienne Jolie-Pitt will make her acting debut alongside her
mother Angelina Jolie in the Disney film, "Maleficent."
Disney Studios confirmed the 4-year-old's
involvement today. In the movie, the blonde cutie will play the child version of
Elle Fanning's Princess Aurora.
The live-action flick is a re-imagination
of the fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty," told from the perspective of the
villainess. Miss Jolie will play the title character.
In March, the proud parent spoke to
Entertainment Weekly about her role, saying, "It's a really great script, and
I'm having a lot of fun. I've already got my horns fitted"
Spending Labor Day weekend with family,
Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise were spotted at the Chelsea Piers Hudson River Park
in New York City on Sunday (September 2).
Joined by Katie's brother Martin Holmes,
the 33-year-old actress and her six-year-old daughter casually strolled through
the Big Apple park and enjoyed the fresh air.
According to a recent report by Vanity
Fair, the "Batman Begins" star was allegedly not the Church of Scientology’s
first choice for Tom Cruise's wife.
In 2004, Scientology leader David
Miscavige’s wife led a project to interview women allegedly telling them it was
an audition for a Scientology training film.
After the screening process, the Church
chose British-Iranian actress Nazanin Boniadi, but the two ended up separating
in January 2005 because the actor wanted “someone with her own power – like
Nicole [Kidman].”
Angelina Jolie's been a longtime crusader
for those who need the most help, so it seems fitting that Angelina Jolie made
special note of yesterday's (August 19) observance of World Humanitarian
Day.
Of the day dedicated to recognize
humanitarian personnel and those who have lost their lives working for
humanitarian causes, the 37-year-old actress posted a message on Facebook
commenting on it's importance.
In her penning, Jolie wrote, “On World
Humanitarian Day we remember the aid workers who have lost their lives in the
line of duty and we honor the extraordinary courage and dedication of
humanitarian workers around the world."
Angelina, who has dutifully offered her
services to the UN Special Envoys as of late, finished by writing, “I had the
honor and the pleasure of meeting one of these brave individuals before his
murder during a visit to Pakistan, where I witnessed first-hand the incredible
devotion of a very kind and gentle man. His name was Mr.
Zill-e-Usman."
With baby Harper held at the hip,
Victoria Beckham was seen leaving Giggles N' Hugs restaurant in Century City,
California on Sunday (August 26).
The former Spice Girl wore a chic black
sleeveless top, skinny jeans, and black pumps and she left the birthday party
with her daughter.
In other Beckham news, rumors have
erupted concerning claims that classical singer Katherine Jenkins had an affair
with David Beckham. The "Dancing with the Stars" contestant tweeted on Friday,
"Dear Twitter friends, I’ve read some horrible rumours on here & want u 2
know I absolutely deny I’ve had an affair with David Beckham."
The scandal seems to have originated with
the Australian magazine Famous which printed a story in its latest issue
asserting the Beckhams had broken up.
Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis hit the
beach in Wilmington yesterday. They're in North Carolina where Jason is filming
We're the Millers with costars Emma Roberts and Jennifer Aniston. Jason got away
from the cameras to relax with his girlfriend of nearly one year, who made the
trip east last week, during the sandy afternoon.
Jason and Olivia showed love in the ocean
and lounged under the sun before packing up and heading out with her cute pup
Paco. Jason's not the only one busy with work since Olivia has her own movie,
Butter, coming out soon. Check out the new trailer for Butter with Olivia,
Jennifer Garner, Hugh Jackman, and more before the film hits theaters on Sept.
6.
It all began on the set of their film
“Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and now Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are said to be slated
to tie the knot this weekend in the South of France.
Four years ago, the couple purchased the
17th-century Chateau Miraval. The 35-room estate near the French village of
Correns will likely host the Hollywood wedding, according to a range of
reports.
The 48-year-old stud and his 37-year-old
wife-to-be apparently were scheduled to exchange vows last weekend, but it's
claimed that plans changed when alterations to the Chateau weren’t
finished.
According to the mayor of Correns,
Mickeal Latz, the wedding is “more likely” to occur tomorrow (August 19). On
Sunday (August 12), he said, “It's a far more likely date. There are no plans
for a civil wedding in Correns this weekend.”
When it comes to nuptial details, Miss
Jolie has apparently asked her 39-year-old brother James Haven to give her away
despite reconciling with her father, Jon Voight. Also on the guest list are
Brad’s parents, Bill and Jane, along with his brother Doug and sister
Julie.
Fellow celebrities likely to attend the
grand wedding include George Clooney, Matt Damon, Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise.
Angelina’s uncle, singer-songwriter Chip Taylor, has been invited, along with
her godparents, British actress Jacqueline Bisset and Austrian actor Maximilian
Schell.
Still, one of the best kept secrets is
who designed the bride’s wedding dress. According to reports, the brunette
beauty had several meetings with L’Wren Scott, but we’ll have to wait and
see!
Unable to take in the Olympics spectacle
nearby, Brad Pitt was found working hard on the set of "The Counselor" in London
Today (August 4).
The "Fight Club" star sported a tiny
ponytail with his all gray suit and white dress shirt, complete with brown
briefcase.
Directed by "Alien" helmsman Ridley
Scott, the film stars the 48-year-old hunk as an attorney who finds himself over
his head when he gets involved in drug trafficking. Cast members include Michael
Fassbender, John Leguizamo, Cameron Diaz, Penélope Cruz, and Javier
Bardem.
Before you see Pitt as an attorney,
however, you can see him as a thuggish enforcer charged with investigating a
robbery during a mob-protected poker game in "Killing Them Softly."
A new sneak peak trailer for the flick
has just been released in which Pitt's character, Jackie Cogan, explains his
preferred method. " You ever killed anyone? They cry, they plead, they call for
their mothers. I like to kill them softly, from a distance."
Everyone is waiting for them to finally
say "I Do," and it seems Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may be walking down the
aisle this weekend.
According to a report, the
Jolie-Pitt-owned Chateau Miraval in France has been buzzing with event
preparations and guests are already arriving from all over the world.
An insider told press, “Brad flew in to
oversee preparations but they’re all here now. They say it's for Jane and Bill,
but some think this could be it. Even Angelina's private jeweler is
here."
However, Deputy Culture Secretary Patrick
Mareschi claims his office hasn't been informed of any wedding. “We don't know
anything about it. Under French law couples have to get married at the town
hall. Unlike with a religious wedding, there's no way a couple can hold a civil
ceremony at their own home."
Quick to dispel the rumors, Jennifer Aniston's rep denied reports that the former "Friends" star and boyfriend Justin
Theroux have broken up.
Allegations were printed in Star magazine
that the 43-year-old actress called it off with her man because he wasn't able
to commit after a year and a half of dating.
Ms. Aniston's rep told pressl, "It's once
again just another fabrication to sell magazines and has no relationship to
reality."
Star's evidence included a recent dinner
with a "mystery blonde" who turned out to be an old friend, comedienne Amy
Sedaris.
In reality, the two are still going
strong as the "American Psycho" actor was seen on July 30th heading to a group
dinner with Jen's pals, Courteney Cox, her daughter, and Laura Dern, while
Aniston is shooting "We're the Millers" in North Carolina.
Still situated in the UK as she's been
photo shooting and spectating at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, Bar Refaeli took
the the town for a night out in London on Thursday (August 2).
The Israeli model and her loved ones
hopped a cab after exiting Novikov Restaurant & Bar while choosing to cap
things off with a visit to The Box Soho cabaret nightclub on Walker's
Court.
During her visit to England's capital
city, Miss Refaeli is enjoying quality bonding with her mom, Tzipi Levine, as
she posted an old family pic with a caption reading, "My mom @zipi777 and me r
having some quality time in LND. 4 the good old days."
Putting her timeless beauty back on
display, Cindy Crawford was picked to cover the September 2012 issue of Tatler
magazine.
The 46-year-old supermodel looks smashing
in a sequined gold mini for the Ruven Afanador shot front page while posing in a
range of designer looks in the accompanying spread.
Set to hit newsstands on August 2nd, a
few highlights from Miss Crawford's interview are as follows. For more, be sure
to pay a visit to Tatler!
On continuing to work at the age of
46:
“I tried to retire once before but I love
working. It keeps me happy.”
On one of the downsides of being a
model:
"Sometimes you have to get up early or be
prepared to do the job in the freezing cold."
On her thoughts about the biggest issues
in the modeling world:
"You know, I don't know. I'm not still in
the trenches right now. But if you make too many rules - like, 'You can't work
this many hours' - it doesn't work, because sometimes you have to."
Making their first appearances since "The X Factor" suddenly pulled the plug on the day's two live tapings, judges Britney
Spears and Demi Lovato were spotted arriving for the show's crowd-free filming
in Miami Beach this afternoon (July 26).
Staying stone-faced as shutterbugs ran to
her side, Demi - wearing a spike-detailed jean jacket and white dress - quickly
made her way indoors without answering any questions about the
ordeal.
In between taping, Miss Lovato made a
lunch run while eating at Lincoln Mall's hot spot Sushi Samba. Despite causing
quite a commotion among fellow diners, the newly blonde songstress didn't reveal
any details about her gig.
Also staying mum about the production
change, an all black-clad Miss Spears and her fiance, Jason Trawick, silently
entered the set without interruption.
While there's still no word from "The X
Factor" on why they decided to nix the live-audience auditions, fans are surely
speaking out.
Angered at their dismissal, several of
the show's planned attendees cried out on Twitter, pledging to boycott the
program from here on out.
It’s no secret that in-laws can be
tricky, and even though Angelina Jolie isn’t yet married to Brad Pitt, rumor has
it her would-be mother-in-law Jane is already driving her crazy.
According to a report, the “Changeling”
chic
k threw a fit when she discovered that Mama Pitt purchased girlie clothes
for her daughter Shiloh, as the girl prefers to dress as a tomboy.
Per the rumor, Ang can’t believe Jane would try to force her daughter to
wear the uber-feminine garb, given that Shiloh is well-known to love dressing
like her brothers.
An insider claims, “It's well documented
that Shiloh likes to dress like a boy. But Jane still insists on buying her
fairy costumes and princess dresses, which Angelina finds very
disrespectful.”
Additionally, Jane also rubbed Ang the
wrong way when she wrote a letter urging Americans to vote against President
Barack Obama, citing his recently-changed view in favor of gay
marriage.
Mrs. Pitt declared, “Any Christian should
spend much time in prayer before refusing to vote for a family man with high
morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares Christian
conviction concerning homosexuality just because he is a Mormon.”
