When Brad Pitt was asked in a recent interview if he’d ever consider running for office, he reacted as if the suggestion were a ridiculous one. However, he did come up with some suggestions for celebrity candidates he felt would be better suited for the task.

“Oh, my God!” Pitt says in surprise. “I never thought about it. I have no desire at this point. Maybe I serve better by not going through that door.” He laughs. “George should do it!” he says, offering up pal Clooney. “He’d be quite good. I think Ben Affleck should run.”

Yes, I agree. I am completely ignorant when it comes to things like politics and issues, but I know a hot man when I see one, so I tend to agree with Brad. That’s right, folks, it’s my ladyparts that do the voting in my house, so my brain can take a much-needed rest.

That got your attention! Here’s Brad Pitt breaking into Jennifer Aniston’s mansion to steal Shiloh back. The bitch keeps taking her and calling her Little Jenny and telling her stories about a mean succubus named Angelina. Actually, these were taken on the set of his latest movie. Or maybe Angie told him to fetch. Earlier today, we mentioned how Brad was disgusted by tabloids and depressed. He also spoke to “Parade” about his religious beliefs in the same interview. Seriously, this cat is vying for Oprah territory. He’s going to have a feel-good talk show soon. What’s with the all the soul bleeding lately? Brad says he had a crisis of faith in college, and sorta eschewed organized religion for his own personal set of beliefs.

The young Pitt also had a little help from a college girlfriend.

“She was a Methodist preacher’s kid. She wasn’t that into me, truthfully, although we were together for a semester,” Pitt says. “She helped me more than anyone else as far as setting off in my own direction. She was a hardcore realist. She called me on so much bull—- about any romantic ideas that I had grown up with about life.”

You might know that girl better as Anna Nicole Smith. Keep reading for more of Brad’s views on religion, and other deep deep thoughts.

Brad Pitt spoke to Parade magazine and expressed his disgust for the tabloids and paparazzi. He also mentioned he’s very sad. Why so sad, Brad? You have several children that aren’t yours, and your wife’s never home because she’s jetting around the world looking severe, and by the look of these pics - age is coming. What’s not to be happy about?

Originally believing that the “disgusting” hype surrounding him, his partner, Angelina Jolie, and their four children would have died out around a year ago, the 43-year-old award-winning actor is surprised to see that the desire to know each and every detail of their lives is strong than ever, with little relief in sight, he tells Parade magazine in an upcoming issue.

“I understand the tabloid machine,” Pitt told the magazine. “There’s money to be made off Angie and me, but it has gotten out-of-hand. There’s no decency, even when it comes to our kids.”

Brad went on to say that people who are interested in his personal life have “something missing in themselves”. Can everyone do me a favor? Never pay money for a ticket to a Brad Pitt film ever again. Don’t even NetFlix that shit. If you see it on Comcast, change the channel. If we all work together, we can change the world and fix his little red wagon! Keep reading for where Brad reveals he’s been in need of an anti-depressant for quite a while.

Nice guy. Brad Pitt announced at the Clinton Global Initiative Conference that he’s planning on spending 5 million to build some houses in Katrina-devastated areas of New Orleans. He’s teaming with millionaire tycoon Steven Bing (think fought with Liz Hurley over paternity and dated Nicole Kidman), who is also pledging 5 mil. to the cause. I’m devastated, can I have a house?

The endeavor is the first program in Pitt’s new Make It Right project, which aims to revive the community and culture of one of New Orleans’ poorest neighborhoods, which was wiped out in September 2005 when floodwaters breached the levees and engulfed the city.

Pitt appeared at the third annual gathering of former president Bill Clinton’s nonprofit foundation, which seeks to bring together global leaders to work toward solving some of the world’s most pressing problems. The Ocean’s Thirteen star challenged attendees to support his campaign to make New Orleans livable again for displaced residents, many of whom don’t have the money to rebuild.

Brad and Bing plan to make 150 homes available, complete with financial planning so buyers don’t incur huge debt. Brad and Angie purchased a house in New Orleans last January. And they’re always going on about how cool it is so why the hell are they in NYC making a hubbub at the kindergarden? There’s no fancy schools in Nawlins? Still, this is hot of Brad.

Here are some more pictures of Brad Pitt on set for an upcoming film, “Burn After Reading,” looking like he’s just been socked in the nose. And as you can see, he’s even smiling in some of them, keeping things light on set. But that doesn’t mean that things are all hunky-dory between him and the media. He and Angie are under constant scrutiny, often getting mobbed by the surrounding paparazzi, even at scheduled media events and most recently, the appearance of a bump on Angie’s middle, had media outlets speculating on everything from pregnancy to a lump caused by malnutrition. Yikes. As for Brad, he remains baffled by all the attention.

“I don’t quite understand why everybody cares so much, especially when so much of what is printed and reported has such a negative focus. I don’t find it particularly healthy — for any of us.”

Yes, it is ridiculous. However, I’m going to be honest–as long as every Brangelina post continues to get at least 50 comments on it, I’m probably going to have to keep writing about them. That’s the thing about greed–I totally have it.

Or at least that’s what these pictures make it look like. They’re from the set of his upcoming film, “Burn After Reading,” and I particularly love the one where he looks all angry, with pointy hair and a bloody nose. It seems like Brad Pitt’s pretty busy these days, making movies and whatnot. Recently, he paid a visit to The Washington Post for research on his role as an investigative reporter. The film is “State of Play,” a drama based in D.C., which follows a group of journalists investigating the murder of a political staffer. Pitt’s visit caused quite a stir, distracting those in the newsroom with his presence.

“It was like angels singing,” one female employee was overheard saying after apparently making brief eye contact.

Dude, back when I was a cubicle and bored out of my skull, I would have been excited for a break in the monotony with a visit from Danny Aiello. Who the heck is Danny Aiello, you may be asking? Exactly.

OK, that title was a super-dee-duper oversimplification of the situation, but whatevs.

Brad Pitt is BUSY these days, y’all. Don’t be fooled by his casual posture in these pictures, if he’s not taking time to either acquire or make babies with Angelina, then he’s a veritable movie factory. Still in the midst of doing promotion for his Jesse James movie, it’s just been announced that his next movie role will be portraying Boston boxer, Dicky Ecklund. From Variety:

Brad Pitt is poised to star alongside Mark Wahlberg in “The Fighter,” the Paramount Pictures drama about Boston boxer “Irish” Mickey Ward and his unlikely path to become world lightweight champion.

Mark Wahlberg is a good actor and has been in some interesting movies, but I worry that he’s starting to get himself typecast as the unlikely sports hero who overcomes odds to do something miraculous. Like, do you remember when it seemed like Mel Gibson was constantly saving countries from the English? It was weird.

No, he doesn’t like to roll them up and smoke them–he just believes that having his children in his life keeps the doldrums away. When talking on ABC’s Good Morning America, Brad admitted that before he had kids, he felt as if the success he’d acquired in his career just wasn’t what he was looking for to make him happy. He says that his prairie roots–a childhood growing up in Missouri–left him with an innate sadness familiar to those native to the region, but that the light-hearted spirit of his kiddos help Brad to see the brighter side of things.

“They say the funniest things I’ve ever heard,” he said. “They’re the funniest people I’ve ever met.”

He also, of course, credits Angelina with his upbeat mood.

“One of the things I’m most happy about for my kids is that they have a mother, I think, because she’s amazing.”

I’m sorry, I just looked at my title again and imagined Brad snorting his kids. That’s ridiculous. His nostrils are way too small. It would make much more sense if I were the one doing it.

Brad Pitt heard how Mary-Louise Parker adopted a tyke, and was ecstatic about it at the premiere of his lastest film in NYC last night. She’s in his new Jesse James film and Brad *hearts* her ass. The Most Beautiful Woman In The World isn’t going to like this.

“I haven’t spoken to her since I’ve heard that,” Pitt admitted to PEOPLE Tuesday at the New York premiere of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. But, he says, “I think that’s a great idea!”

“She’s a great mother, she graced our film, came in and did a really lovely part for us,” Pitt said, lighting up when discussing the subject of adoption. “She had her little boy out and she was a really lovely mother.”

As you know, Brad and his companion Angie have adopted the world in the past couple of years. Seriously, they have Cambodia, Zimbabwe, Phucket, Denmark, Chile, Istanbul, Constantinople, Atlantis, Lemuria, Oz, Shangri-La, and my hometown represented in their house. Damn, they’re gonna’ want to return that kid from my block who used to pull his BMX over so he could piss in the middle of the street while his grandmother yelled at him from the kitchen window to put his ding-a-ling away.

Oh, and Mary-Louise Parker still needs to beat Billy Crudup and Claire Danes’ asses over his ditching her while she was about to have his kid thing. He’ll never live that evil down.

At the Toronto Film Festival premiere of Brad Pitt’s Jesse James movie (the real title of which is too long for me to remember it), what should have been a run-of-the-mill entertainment event quickly turned into what Toronto gossip columnist, Lainey Lui, described as “the biggest celebrity mob scene ever. Ever.” According to Lui:

“The crowd started to find out that it was Brad and Angelina. People who were driving down on other streets left their cars and ran to see them. Seven people jumped on their car.”

“Brad was yelling at the driver to drive, Angelina looked like a woman completely paralyzed. You could read her lips, and she kept saying, ‘Get back to the hotel.’ “

Holy crap. When Brad sat down with USA Today, along with the director of the film, Andrew Dominick, he talked about the incident.

“We had to come back here. We had to get under a garage,” he tells Dominik. “Nothing was cordoned off. There were no barriers.”

That is nutso. Don’t get me wrong, I’d totally be one of those idiots jumping on the car, but at least I’d have the good sense to feel weird about it.
