If I was in charge of Brad Pitt?s management and PR, I would really do everything differently. The first thing his management should do is make some kind of peace with Angelina Jolie. The whole ?I gamed the system and got away with physically assaulting my son? thing is not a good look. I don?t care if he won an Oscar after it happened, it?s still massively embarrassing for him and for the industry. He needs to clean up that whole mess and stop smearing his ex-wife. He also needs to lean harder into the ?woke producer? thing and really make people remember that he executive produced films like 12 Years a Slave, Selma, Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk and Minari.
As for ?Brad?s next girlfriend? the Neri Oxman thing was a debacle. The Nico Mary thing was a catastrophe. The Alia Shawkat thing was definitely super-weird. He needs someone closer to his age (40s or 50s) who is accomplished in her own right, in her own way. He shouldn?t try to make things happen with Instagram models and beautiful, 30-something Andra Day! But instead of any of this happening, Brad is apparently leaning into ?Boho Brad and his 30-something Swedish girlfriend.? Whew.
Brad Pitt has always been a laid-back kind of guy and a source says that these days, he?s basically bohemian!
?Brad overhauled his life to be super hippy-dippy. He spends his free time meditating or doing sculpture,? spills the source, adding that when the star socializes, ?it?s always with his new group of artsy friends.?
Pitt has also reportedly been spending time with Swedish indie singer Lykke Li, 35. ?It makes sense,? says the source. ?Recently, he?s been attracted to eccentric, creative types.?
While Brad is still connected to the Hollywood scene with his acting and producing work, ?he?s not nearly as chummy with his old A-lister pals, like George Clooney, as he used to be,? adds the insider. ?He hasn?t dumped them per se, but he?s off in this whole other world, chilling and doing his thing.?

He really started sculpting in earnest right after Jolie left him and he went through some kind of makeshift rehab program. I guess he figured ?idle hands? or whatever, and he was just trying to pass the time. He?s always been into art and he?s always had some connections in the art world, so I guess he?s just leaning in harder to that lifestyle. It feels weird to talk about a 57-year-old man going through ?phases? like a teenager, but I think in Brad?s case, it?s apt. His Jolie phase was all about fatherhood, booze and ?being taken seriously.? His post-Jolie phase is about being boho and arty and dating a Swedish indie princess. I wonder what his post-boho phase will be.
In some angles, Lykke Li reminds me of Lady Gaga. I wonder if this Lykke Li rumor is nothing more than Brad?s Struggle PR.

The Associated Press reported yesterday that Angelina Jolie?s divorce attorneys have expressed their displeasure and concerns about Judge John Ouderkirk, the private judge Pitt and Jolie hired four years ago to oversee their divorce proceedings. Jolie has been unhappy with Ouderkirk before last year, she tried to get him thrown off the case because he failed to disclose his long-standing financial entanglement with Pitt?s lawyers. Ouderkirk refused to recuse himself. For months, Ouderkirk has heard testimony from experts and specialists about the issue of custody for the minor Jolie-Pitt children. I believe Pitt thinks Maddox and Pax are a lost cause Maddox is 19 years old and Pax is 17. But the other Jolie-Pitt kids are young enough for there to be a formal custody agreement, so that was being worked out. The problem, according to Jolie and her lawyers, was that Ouderkirk didn?t allow the kids to testify and that he refused to allow evidence pertinent to her case. Well, big surprise, I guess. Brad ran to Page Six to crow about how he ?won? the custody case:
Brad Pitt has been granted joint custody of his children with Angelina Jolie following a lengthy court battle, Page Six has learned. The Oscar winner, 57, has been fighting Jolie, 46, through the courts for nearly five years for equal rights to their six kids. Judge John Ouderkirk, the private judge hired by the former couple to oversee the case, made his thoughts clear in a lengthy recent ruling, we understand, after months of witness testimony, including child services professionals who interviewed the Jolie-Pitt children and others who have been around the family.
A source with knowledge of the case told Page Six: ?There was a significant change made in the custody agreements based on an extremely detailed decision made by the judge. Brad was just trying to have more time with his kids ? and it has been clear that Angie has done everything possible to prevent this.?
?This trial lasted for several months and there were a f?k ton of witnesses, experts, therapists and other people who have been with the kids and around them, and the decision was based on this,? the source added.
Another Source close to the issue said it was a ?tentative decision,? adding that Jolie is continuing her legal fight. ?Joint custody is not the issue that Angelina objects to, there were other issues of concern, but the court proceedings are closed and sealed,? the source said.
Page Six has seen one court filing label, which reads: ?Offer of Proof and authority in support thereof RE: testimony regarding domestic violence.? The documents are sealed, so we?re unable to see what evidence may lie there. The source close to the issue added: ?There was a safety order surrounding the previous custody arrangements, that is public, and the kids schedule has been set under the jurisdiction of the division of family services for over three years.?
?Judge Ouderkirk denied Ms. Jolie a fair trial, improperly excluding her evidence relevant to the children?s health, safety, and welfare, evidence critical to making her case,? according to the filing in California?s Second District Court of Appeal.
[From Page Six]
My guess? Angelina knew that information about Ouderkirk?s ruling was about to come out so her lawyers went to the Associated Press with the story about how Ouderkirk was not an impartial jurist. Which I believe, honestly. I think Ouderkirk really screwed over Jolie and the kids. I also think Brad was way too quick to run to Page Six to claim that he won and he successfully screwed over Jolie. Which was the point of all of Pitt?s bullsh-t for the past five years he was mad at Angelina and he wanted to punish her for leaving him.
People Magazine didn?t run solely with Team Pitt?s side of the story, they merely wrote that Ouderkirk ?tentatively awarded Pitt more custody over the former couples five minor children? but they noted: ?its unclear if the decision is legally binding as another source says nothing has yet to change in terms of official custody.? A source told People that at the trial ?the childrens voices were heard, but they just didnt testify themselves.? Which, again, is strange because a California statute says that ?any child at least 14 years of age should be allowed to weigh in and state custodial preference, making Pax, Zahara and Shiloh eligible to testify.?
Jolie?s lawyers filed their complaint with Californias Second District Court of Appeal over ?Ouderkirks ruling and continuing purview over the case.?

The flurry of sugary tweets about Brad Pitt last night have me wondering if Brad is paying for pro-Pitt bots, much like Johnny Depp and the Cambridges seem to be paying for their online support. It was so immediate and so cloying. Even if you?re genuinely a Brad Pitt fan, surely you have to admit that the ?support? for him seemed weirdly over-the-top? Especially given that the man reportedly abused at least one of his children, and whose ex-wife recently told the court that she will offer proof of his domestic violence? Even for a white guy in Hollywood, Brad seems especially bulletproof, to a crazy degree. He really is prom king and no one will ever knock him off that pedestal.
Anyway, yes, Brad put in an appearance at the Oscars. He won Best Supporting Actor last year, so he returned this year to present the Best Supporting Oscar to Minari?s Youn Yuh-jung, who said something about how it was nice to ?meet? him. Which is funny because? technically speaking, Brad executive produced Minari. Had he not met the cast before now? People Magazine claims Brad ?teared up? watching her speech too.
Less than two weeks ago, Brad was seen leaving a medical center in a wheelchair. Brad?s team claimed he had his wisdom teeth removed. But his fresh face tells a different story. People were also talking about his ?man bun.?

Just before Christmas, we got another weird custody update from Brad Pitt?s team. I tend to believe that Brad?s team does leak sh-t to Us Weekly, but some people disagree, and so be it. The point is that Us Weekly has consistently run exclusives which almost always sound like they?re coming from Team Pitt, and usually they?re about the Jolie-Pitt kids or how Angelina Jolie is a witch or whatever. Anyway, the update before Christmas was that Brad would get to see his three youngest kids (Shiloh, Knox and Viv) on Christmas Day. You can take different views of why Brad?s oldest three kids didn?t see him for Christmas either they?re old enough to make their own decisions about custody, or maybe Brad only gives a sh-t about his biological kids. Who knows.
Anyway, given that years-long narrative that Brad wants us to believe that he cares so deeply about his kids, that he was desperate to see them for the holidays I thought he would stick around LA for weeks on the off-chance that his kids wanted to spend NYE with him or something. Guess not:
Brad Pitt is the anti-Justin Bieber early on in 2021 instead of covering up his tattoos like the Biebs, Brads showing off his ink!!! Brads ringing in the new year down in Turks and Caicos and doing some snorkeling and these shirtless shots of his outing reveal his extensive back tattoos. Its a rare sighting as Brads pretty secretive about his ink work.
As you can see, Brads back is home to at least 7 tatts ranging from a tornado to some Sanskrit and a handful of other interesting designs. Hell, theres even a lower back piece thats dangerously close to tramp stamp territory.
Brads not flying solo in Turks Flea, from Red Hot Chili Peppers, is with him for the male-bonding tropical getaway.

So Brad flies off to Turks and Caicos with FLEA, while Angelina stays in LA with their kids. But again, we?re supposed to believe that Angelina is such a bad mother, that Poor Brad Just Wants To Be A Good Dad. Oh, and I?m sure we?ll hear about how Angelina is such a bitch because she?s concerned Brad needs to quarantine after traveling internationally too. I guess somebody?s buying it.

Brad Pitt found himself desperate for some good publicity, and some publicity which didn?t involve a thirsty wannabe Instagram influencer or one of his ex-wives. So Brad arranged a lil? photoshoot for himself doing charity work in LA convenient how the light was just right and his mask came undone at just the right moment!

Last week, People Magazine had a curious story about how Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have softened towards each other to the point where he can visit her house for hours and it doesn?t devolve into a murderous rampage. ?Sources? credited the fact that Angelina, Brad and the kids have all been in family therapy since late 2016, after the plane incident. We?re coming up on the four-year anniversary of the incident and Angelina?s divorce filing. Their divorce still isn?t completed, and the last I heard, the financial part of the divorce was the biggest sticking point, not the custodial issue of the younger kids. Again, it?s been four years so why are we hearing that the pandemic is the reason why Brad and Angelina haven?t finalized their divorce?
Pumping the brakes. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie?s ?legal matters? are being put on pause as courts grapple with the coronavirus pandemic.
?Brad is seeing the kids but everything involved in their process of resolving legal matters between Angelina and Brad, including the courts, is slowed down because of COVID,? a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. ?With the pandemic, it has been hard for everyone, including them. The legal process is slowed because of that. They are continuing regular visits but there has not been a lot of progress in terms of resolving anything.?
The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star, 56, has been spotted visiting his children at Jolie?s house twice in the past few weeks. Pitt stopped by her mansion in June and was seen leaving her home again on July 2.
A source told Us on Wednesday, July 8, that the former couple have been working on their coparenting relationship for the sake of their children. Pitt and Jolie, 45, are the parents of Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 12, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 11.
?Brad and Angelina have continued to navigate a path forward for their children,? the insider explained. ?There has been progress.?
[From Us Weekly]
I shared my thoughts about why it feels like Angelina has been slow-walking the divorce process it?s because the longer this takes, the older the kids are and the more likely the court will say that they can make their own decisions about whether to see Brad. I could be wrong! I definitely think there are lots of financial shenanigans happening too, in that Brad has been putting up a fight about a full financial disclosure to Angelina. Still, the larger point remains? it?s been almost four years. The pandemic can?t be blamed on all of this.
Here are some photos of Brad arriving to Angelina Jolie?s gated community. I mean, the photo agency claims that?s him and that must be the BMW bike we?ve heard so much about (the same one he was riding around the BLM protest a few weeks ago). The jeans? wow. The wash and a rolled-up cuff? I?m sure he rolled up the cuffs because of something to do with driving a motorcycle, but the effect is not very cool.

How should we feel about prominent white celebrities and politicians doing the bare minimum and getting recognized for it? This came up in the Mitt Romney story this week I don?t have a problem with Sen. Romney attending the DC protest, nor do I have a problem (philosophically) with Mittens saying ?black lives matter.? But I also think that those acts shouldn?t be hyped nor praised? That?s how I feel about this story too Brad Pitt apparently attended a protest/rally in LA on Sunday. The person who spotted him took a photo of a Brad-like figure riding his motorcycle around the protest and she sold that photo to the Daily Mail exclusively.

Brad Pitt was seen and photographed this week in LA, where he?s been on lockdown since March (to my knowledge). He was spotted without a mask in Malibu, hanging out with Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Apparently, that?s Flea?s motorcycle and Brad was checking it out. I?m still kind of surprised that Brad hangs out with so many rockers, but hey same generation and all of that. The ?90s connection.

People Magazine choosing to put Brad Pitt on their Oscar-coverage issue is still an interesting choice. It?s clear that people within Hollywood still like him a lot and that he?s been crowned Hollywood?s Prom King. I also think it?s interesting that his campaign was so successful without Brad really needing to do a big whitewash on this past. He wasn?t out there, claiming that nothing ever happened on the plane in 2016. There wasn?t a ?whitewash.? He just deflected to his drinking problem and how he went through AA and how he?s been sober for a while now. In interviews leading up to the awards season, he seemed contemplative and humbled by the plane incident and divorce drama. Then when the awards came rolling in, suddenly he was making jokes about the situation and even thanking his children three of whom have no desire to see him in his Oscar speech. So? there it is. We?re now supposed to believe that Brad Pitt, Oscar winner, has a great relationship with his kids and everything is totally fine now.
After a challenging few years, Brad Pitt?s Oscar win on Feb. 9 proved the actor is back on top and that his career is hotter than ever.
?He has been enjoying a little slower personal life. It has worked wonders,? a source tells PEOPLE. ?We can see that it has shot him to the top professionally.?
In 2016 Pitt, 56, and Angelina Jolie, 44, split after two years of marriage and 12 years together. The pair are parents to Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 13, and 11-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox. The breakup took a toll on Pitt, who stepped back from the spotlight to work on himself and admitted his drinking had contributed to his troubles at home. He spent time in a men?s Alcoholics Anonymous group and began to turn his life around by focusing on his health and his kids.
?He is a new man,? a source tells PEOPLE in the new cover story. ?He is happy, loves his kids, and relishes his quiet time at home.?
Pitt has been spending increasing time with his kids. Adds a longtime colleague, ?Things are going much more smoothly, and he is infinitely happier.?
[From People]
?The breakup took a toll on Pitt?? Poor Brad, right? I?m sure the divorce took a toll on Angelina as well, especially since she was the one getting the court to order Brad into rehab and therapy and she was the one taking care of their children. But hey, Brad?s a new man now. And it?s all thanks to his ?slower personal life.? He didn?t even have to roll out a new girlfriend for his Oscar campaign! But I bet he gets a new girlfriend this year!

Here are some photos of Brad Pitt at the Santa Barbara International Film Festivals Maltin Modern Master Award thing. It was basically a Q&A session or ?conversation with? event for Brad. He spoke about his career and various films he?s proud of, he joked about Fight Club and other stuff. What?s interesting is that he also talked about a film he passed on! Jennifer Lopez did this recently too and she blew my mind when she said she was offered Unfaithful and she turned it down. Now Brad says he was offered Neo in The Matrix:
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star Brad Pitt was feted at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Wednesday for his superstar career filled with wildly successful performances. But his evening of career retrospective while receiving the Leonard Maltin Modern Master Award would not have been complete without discussing the culturally dominant film that he did NOT appear in. The Matrix.
During the stage interview, moderator Maltin pushed a highly reluctant Pitt to name one role he had passed on. Finally, Pitt agreed to give just one. I did pass on The Matrix, said Pitt, as the sold-out film festival theater audience roared. Without missing a beat he added with a smile, I took the red pill.Thats the only one Im naming.
Last year, during the 20th anniversary of The Matrix, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura said Pitt was one of a handful of A-list stars considered for the Neo role ? including Sandra Bullock, Will Smith and Leonardo DiCaprio ? before it was given to Keanu Reeves. Pitt made it clear he had the offer and was at the top of the list. I wasn?t offered two or three. Only the first one, he said. Just to clarify that.
I come from a place, maybe it?s my upbringing, if I didn?t get it, then it wasn?t mine, he said. I really believe (the role) was never mine. Its not mine. It was someone else?s and they go and make it. I really do believe in that. Pitt added with a laugh, If we were doing a show on the great movies I?ve passed on, we would need two nights.
[From USA Today]
Weirdly, I believe Brad was offered the role, but I bet he wasn?t the first choice? The ?90s were crazy, but one thing has remained the same for decades: Leo DiCaprio is generally offered every script first. It?s true. I don?t like that it?s true, but it is. Was Brad the #2 choice? Hm. Anyway, Brad would have been awful in it and I?m glad Keanu eventually got it. Another sliding door casting decision: Angelina Jolie initially passed on Mr. and Mrs. Smith, then the role went to Nicole Kidman, then Kidman left and it came back to Angelina, who finally agreed to it. So? imagine if Nicole had done that movie? I mean?
