Enjoying some time up north, Brad Pitt was spotted at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier today (September 9).
The ?Mr. and Mrs. Smith? stud donned a white button-up shirt with a dark blazer and jeans as he arrived at the TIFF Light Box and signed some autographs.
In real estate news, Brad may have a celebrity buyer for his $14 million beachfront property- none other than Reese Witherspoon.
An insider told press, ?She seemed interested in it. She hasn?t made an offer yet. The house is still on the market.?

He certainly has the means to live an extravagant life, and Brad Pitt was spotted arriving back to his temporary home in Glasgow via helicopter on Wednesday (September 7).
The ?Mr and Mrs Smith? star hopped out of his swanky air transport looking cool and casual while sipping on an energy-boosting coffee drink.
The travels come as the streets of Glasgow have been abuzz during the filming of Pitt?s current project ?World War Z.?
The Scottish city is being used for Philadelphia-set scenes for the zombie thriller - which is set to hit theaters in December 2012.

Turning into a family routine, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took their brood out for a cinema weekend excursion in London on Sunday (September 4).
The "Mr and Mrs Smith" co-star couple had the entire clan alongside for the theater visit, as Pax, Shiloh, Vivienne, Knox, Maddox and Zahara shuffled out to the family ride after catching a showing of "The Smurfs".
The family movie outing comes after Us magazine reports that Angelina treated her little ones to a garden party at their rented abode in Richmond the previous day.
An inside dished of the festivities, "All of the kids were in the garden to play and she surprised them with a local group of children's entertainers."
Explaining further, the Us source told, "Think juggling, game organising, races, that type of thing. The kids laughed and screamed all day. They were exhausted by the time the troupe left!"

This week?s tabloids take this whole ?Brad Pitt must be boning his attractive assistant? story to its logical conclusion. At least, I hope this is the conclusion, although I guess I could see it going further. Previously, we?ve heard about Angelina Jolie getting pissed that Brad has an attractive assistant on World War Z - the chick?s name is Lara Marsden. Brad continued to be photographed with Lara, and then the tabloids got into Lara?s MySpace account and got their hands on lots of her bikini photos. Now Star Mag reports this week that Lara is spending lots of one-on-one time with Brad in his trailer. When Angelina heard about this, she pushed Brad, smacked him around a little bit, and then kicked him out of the house.
Angelina Jolie stole Brad Pitt from Jennifer Aniston on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith and now Angie is worried that his 25-year-old assistant Lara Marsden will steal Brad while he films World War Z!
?Brad spends a lot of time with Lara when he isn?t filming,? a source tells Star. ?Lara looks after Brad, making sure he is well taken care of and getting him whatever he needs. She even bring tea to his 25-foot white luxury trailer in between scenes.?
And the people around them definitely thing something is going on. ?You can definitely hear snickers and giggles from the crew members when Lara visits Brad?s trailer alone,? the source adds.
You can bet this isn?t making Angelina too happy. ?Angie?s been making her feelings about Brad?s relationship with Lara known for months,? another insider explains. ?So when she found out Brad was still getting cozy with her, Angelina absolutely flipped!?
Things got physical, according to the source, when Angelina confronted Brad ? she pushed him against the wall and pointed her finger in his face!
?Angelina was so upset she even kicked Brad out of their house, screaming ?Get out!,?? the source continues. ?She was ranting and raving, threatening to pack up and take the kids away. Now she?s barely speaking to him.?
[From Hollywood Life]
Here?s what I believe: Brad could and would cheat, and he, like many men, think that he could get away with having a little fling with an assistant (or intern, or secretary, etc). I believe that Lara Marsden probably LOVES being Brad?s assistant, and she might even be the one who is seeking him out for all of this alleged one-on-one time. Now, here?s what I don?t believe: that Brad would leave Angelina for some PA, or that Angelina would violently attack Brad, unless it was part of some sexual act. I also don?t think Angelina is kicking Brad out of the house, now or ever. I also wonder if Angelina and Brad have some kind of clause in their relationship, where they can both get a little strange every now and then as long as it?s never serious.
Here?s some extra stuff from Angelina?s Vanity Fair cover thing. Rich Cohen, who interviewed Angelina, was on the Today show, plus I screen capped an additional image from the VF photo shoot.

Kicking off the week with a trip to the movies, Brad Pitt was spotted at a cinema in Richmond, London, England today (August 29).
The ?Fight Club? stud looked to have his hands full as his kids Pax, Shiloh, Zahara, Vivienne, Knox, and Maddox all came along for the ride.
As for his current project ?World War Z,? it seems Brad played the part of hero to an extra who fell during production last week.
An insider told press, ?It was total chaos as 700 extras were trying to get down the street ? they were banging into moving cars, cameras and military who were carrying heavy machine guns. Lots of people hurt themselves, and Brad came to the rescue of a woman who slipped.?
?I don?t think she could believe it when Brad picked her up. He didn?t have time to speak to her as it was mid-shoot. But she said afterward how grateful she was, despite having a badly-grazed knee.?

Brad Pitt is going to be filming World War Z for the rest of his life, I think. How long has this film shoot lasted? I guess it?s a complicated sci-fi/action/drama, but seriously. Anyway, Brad has been filming in Scotland for a few weeks now, with Glasgow supposedly standing in for Philadelphia (in what world?). Late last week, Brad was on the Glasgow set with hundreds of extras, filming a zombie invasion scene, when he ?rescued? a woman. Sorry for the quotes - he actually did help a woman who had fallen, but the reports about the incident make it sound like Brad gave this woman a kidney or something:
Lately he’s been busy battling zombies, but on Thursday Brad Pitt stepped into the role of real-life rescuer.
The actor, 47, was shooting his new movie World War Z in Glasgow, Scotland, where more than 700 extras were packed into George Square to film chaotic scenes of a terrifying zombie invasion. But the terror turned real when a female extra slipped amid the trampling crowd.
“I don’t think she could believe it when Brad picked her up,” a set insider told The Scottish Sun. “He didn’t have time to speak to her as it was mid-shoot. But she said afterwards how grateful she was, despite having a badly-grazed knee.”
When he hasn’t been busy shooting, Pitt has been enjoying the Scottish countryside with partner Angelina Jolie and their six kids, who are staying in a rented country estate that includes a 16th-century mansion.
The family is expected to remain in Scotland until Pitt wraps filming on World War Z in the next few weeks.

So the woman stumbled and Brad picked her up. It was a lovely thing to do, and trust me, when you?re a clumsy bitch (*raises hand*) it?s nice when a dude is around to help you up. But enough with the ?Brad saved someone?s life? stories. I guess it?s better than ?Brad is obviously boning extra, she only fell because he whipped it out, of course? stories though.
Brad?s lover, Angelina Jolie, spent Friday at The Hague, where she watched the prosecution?s closing in the war crimes trial of a Congolese warlord accused of recruiting children to be soldiers in the Congolese civil war There?s video of Angelina speaking to the AP outside of the courtroom, where she says in part, ?I?m not attending particularly as a UN Ambassador. I?m attending just as a concerned citizen of the world who cares about children. I was speaking with many of the men here today who were in fact child soldiers and they say it?s hard for them to even imagine that they?re still asking the international community to enforce this ban. It seems like something we shouldn?t be asking for. It seems so obvious that it is so inhumane. It is so unfair.? You can see photos of Angelina here.

I?m not trying to start another WAR about Brad Pitt and his assistant. Too many of you threw fits when I dared to suggest that a young, attractive assistant might need to be reassigned from her Brad Pitt duties on the set of World War Z. Y?all defended this girl?s honor, saying that she?s just doing her job, no one should be fired (I never said she should be fired), and Brad would never cheat. It was a difference in opinions, let?s just say that. Personally, I think Brad would and could cheat, and I don?t think he or any other man is above feeling like they ?deserve? a little strange. Just because I think Brad could cheat, doesn?t mean he is, and doesn?t mean he is with this assistant, whose name is Lara Marsden. My point was lost amongst the Brangeloonie warriors - so I?ll try to clarify: Angelina makes the effort to avoid looking ?too friendly? with other men, because she knows the gossip, and she pays attention to the gossip. I think she also avoids looking ?too friendly? out of respect for Brad, who she adores. Why can?t Brad do the same?
Anyway, as I predicted given the new photos of Brad and Lara Marsden over the past week, the tabloids are really giving this girl the once-over. So now we know even more about her. According to OK! Magazine:
The mag has discovered the truth about Brad Pitt’s “mystery woman,” otherwise known as his assistant. Lara Marsden, a fetching 25-year-old, is constantly by Brad’s side ? because that’s her job. The editors raided her MySpace page and discovered that she bites her nails, declares, “[I] don’t read books,” and once wrote on a boyfriend’s wall, “We’ve f-cked more times than there are drops of water in the sea.” Her mother must be so embarrassed … that she still has a MySpace page.
[From Hollywood Life & Jezebel]
Here?s one of Lara?s MySpace photos - she?s a pretty girl. Doesn?t she look like Jennifer Morrison, formerly on House? You can see even more photos of her here, at The Superficial.
Here are more pics of Brad on set in Scotland. You know what?s weird? Brad has been getting pap?d constantly on the Scottish set, and Lara Marsden hasn?t been photographed at his side in DAYS. Interesting. It?s almost like Angelina ordered Brad to get the young hottie reassigned. Weird. So, obviously, Brad?s probably trying to bone this soldier/actress:

Kicking off another day of work, Brad Pitt was spotted on the set of his new movie ?World War Z? in Glasgow, Scotland today (August 24).
The ?True Romance? actor looked to have an itchy nose as he made his way around George Square while fans and paparazzi looked on.
During the sequence, Brad had to get out of a crashed Volvo and take his family to safety amidst mass confusion and crowds.
Additionally, there were 400 extras and 300 crew members in the vicinity as Pitt and his costars fled from an oncoming zombie attack.

Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill cover the new issue of New York Magazine, which means that the promotional tour for Moneyball starts now, at any moment. The film gets released a month from now, and I?m actually looking forward to seeing it. Long-term readers of the site know that my Brangeloonie status is mostly because of my love for Angelina Jolie - I could take or leave Brad Pitt most of the time. He?s grown on me through the years, and I think he?s grown into a pretty interesting actor who makes unusual choices for his career that often pay off. I think Moneyball will be one of his career successes - Moneyball could be seen as a standard-issue sports movie about some inspiring event. It?s the kind of movie that fathers will take their sons to, and mom will come along because Brad Pitt is in it and he doesn?t have a gross beard in this one. But the behind-the-scenes story of Moneyball, detailed in this NY Mag piece, is fascinating, and I think Brad should get a lot of credit for staying with a project that people weren?t gung-ho about, and a project that nearly ended Steven Soderbergh?s career. Here are some highlights from the piece:
The closer we get to fall, the more we root for long shots. And Moneyball, which opens September 23, is one such underdog. Michael Lewis?s 2003 book focused on Billy Beane, the general manager of the then-impoverished Oakland A?s, who used a kind of quantitative analysis known as sabermetrics to create a winning team and, more miraculously, to combat the huge payroll inequities between baseball?s richest and poorest organizations. Beane?s quixotic attempts to reform a hidebound system and turn a ragtag starting lineup of last-chancers into champions forms Moneyball?s heart. But consider that the above summary hinges on words like sabermetrics and payroll inequities, and you begin to understand why?even with the dogged support of Brad Pitt?Moneyball took nearly a decade, three directors, three writers, an almost complete recasting, and a public collapse before it got made. ?There were some hard days,? says Pitt. By which he means years.
?There were problems, beginning at the source. Lewis?s book is less a narrative than a riveting Gladwellian case study in which a single outlier occasions a series of meditations on the risk-averse institution of baseball. This is not something that screams adaptation, Pitt says, citing ?the difficulty of making a movie whose front window is dressed with economics and science and math.?
Pitt came aboard in late 2007 to play Beane and quickly ?became obsessed? as well. ?I saw it as a story about justice,? he says. ?How is a team with a $40 million payroll going to compete with a team with a $140 million payroll and another $100 million in reserves? Any talent they grow is going to get poached by the rich teams. That became really interesting to me.?
For Pitt, Moneyball also evoked ?films about process,? particularly the seventies movies he loved. ?I thought of The Conversation: How do you tap a phone? Or Thief, with Jimmy Caan: How do you crack a safe?? Pitt says. ?And I saw in it a guy who had an obsessive quality like Popeye Doyle,? from The French Connection. ?I don?t really like big character-arc epiphanies. What I most loved about those seventies films is that the characters were the same at the end as at the beginning. It was the world around them that had shifted.? In Beane, he says, ?I saw a man going up against a system, questioning the reasoning: Just because we?ve been doing it this way for 150 years, why shouldn?t we change it??
[Director Bennett] Miller knew Hill socially and felt he could thrive in the role. ?Jonah is brilliant in a way that might not be evident from the roles he?s played before,? Miller says. ?He has a near-encyclopedic knowledge of movies. And I also knew he was interested in breaking out of whatever box he was in.? For his part, Hill felt he?d found a project?and a director?that might allow him to grow up a little. ?A lot of times you?re funny as a way of not having to say anything real about yourself. Bennett knew that there are whole days when I?m not funny at all,? he says, laughing. ?And this character has sweet moments, but no jokes or wisecracks.?
?Jonah?s a revelation in this thing?he?s a study in reserve,? says Pitt, who saw Hill?s potential in his earlier films. ?I think the most interesting work that?s been going on in the last couple of years is what the comedy guys have been doing. Guys like Jonah and Russell Brand and [Seth] Rogen and a few others ? they picked up on an irreverence that started with Adam Sandler and continued with Will Ferrell, but they?ve been grounding it in a kind of pathos and humanity. I find it really strong work.?
?I don?t mind the struggle as long as the work amounts to something in the end,? says Pitt, who ended up with a producer credit as well. ?It was really Bennett who finally cracked it. His anxiety not to do anything conventional ultimately formed what this would be. At the same time, everyone involved in Moneyball, at every stage, was very passionate. But what most everyone gleaned from the book was very different. I look at the movie now, and I feel everyone?s fingerprints are on it. It?s been ? well, listen. It?s been an interesting process.?
[From New York Magazine]
That?s sweet what Brad says about Jonah - I hope Jonah and Brad are as tight as they seem, and it seems like Brad could possibly be a good friend and champion for Jonah to have in the coming years.
Sigh? I totally want to see this movie. And I don?t know anything about baseball.

Still plugging away at his current project, Brad Pitt was seen on the set of ?World War Z? in Glasgow, Scotland yesterday (August 18).
The ?Fight Club? hunk donned a navy blue jacket and jeans as he paced around the lot with his female on-set assistant nearby.
And once Brad is done with ?World War Z? he?ll be hopping behind the camera to produce ?Twelve Years a Slave,? to be directed by Steve McQueen.
The film is based on the 1853 memoir of Solomon Northup, a black man who was born free and kidnapped into slavery.
