Due to a domain problem, unfortunately I was unable to renew bradpittonline.org, but thanks to our fantastic host at the Fan Sites Network, the site will now permanently be homed at bradpittweb.com! Please update your links, I am currently in the midst of re-organising the site behind the scenes, as well as sorting caps of Brad from both Sleepers and The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford – stay tuned for those!

Hi all! I’m Celyn, and I’m the new owner here at Brad Pitt Online. Thanks so much to Eric for letting me take over the site! I’ve been a huge Brad fan for years, and have recently been dismayed at how all the paparazzi attention is distracting people from what a fantastic actor he truly is. So, I aim on making this site the biggest Brad Pitt resource online, focusing purely on Mr. Pitt’s talent as an actor, producer and the life-changing work he does as a humanitarian. It will take me a week or so to get the ball truly rolling, but stay tuned for lots of updates!

So, for my first update, I have just uploaded over 500 captures of Brad in 2000’s “Snatch”, including all of the DVD extras. Enjoy!

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have discussed adopting a child from Haiti.

The Hollywood couple raise six children together, including three adopted kids. It has been widely reported they are thinking of giving a child left orphaned by the devastating natural disaster in the Caribbean island a home, and Angelina confirmed it is something they have spoken about.

This week the star visited the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince for her role as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, where she met with survivors of the earthquake. Angelina insists she and Brad won’t rush into adoption, adding the most important thing is to support the country as it tries to rebuild itself.

“I’m always open to children around the world. We’re that kind of a family; Brad and I talk about that,” she told CNN. “But that’s not what we’re focusing on at this time, by any means. We’re not here for that. We’re here to see how we can help protect the children in country and scale up the needs here.”

While in the Caribbean, Angelina has spoken to aid workers and visited SOS Children’s Villages, a programme which is caring for kids left orphaned or separated from their parents.

Earlier this week, she advised people against hasty adoptions from the ravaged country. Angelina explained people should concentrate on providing aid for the country, to enable children affected by the natural disaster to stay there.

“New adoptions should definitely not be encouraged as an immediate response to the emergency. Haiti had many trafficking problems before the earthquake and now must keep a very close watch on the children,” she said.

“I would encourage as much support as possible to groups like SOS and UNICEF providing care for children in country.”

It looks like A-lister Brad Pitt and fanboy favorite Ryan Reynolds are going to be dueling it out cowboy style for the lead role in CBS Films’ big-screen adaptation of the long running western series, Gunsmoke.

Both stars are said to be in the running for the lead role of Matt Dillon (the character, not the actor) who was played by William Arness in the original Gunsmoke series. The studio apparently has their sights set on Pitt, which isn’t surprising considering that he’s one of the names atop nearly every casting list in Hollywood, but Reynolds is also supposed to be interested in the role of the Dodge City Marshall.

Who will get the role remains a mystery. Pitt is the bigger… ahem… draw at the box office, but his last western The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford died a grisly death at the box office (despite it being rather good). Reynolds on the other hand, is an eager new kid in town (go with it) who appears to be saddling up for many action adventures
like Green Lantern and Deadpool. Sure Pitt is a killer at the box office, but westerns are unpredictable when it comes to box office appeal. For every Dances With Wolves and Unforgiven there’s the above mentioned Jesse James, Wyatt Earp and a dozen other films in the genre that have died with their boots on. It really is a case of the quick and the dead.

Several other actors are also on the list for the Dillon role, so neither Pitt nor Reynolds could end up pinning that badge onto their lapel.

I wonder if Matt Dillon is on the list? That would be some cool Being John Malkovich-style casting: Matt Dillon is Matt Dillon.

Gregory Poirier wrote the script and CBS is trying to lasso a director while also corralling actors into the pen. The roles of Dillon’s pals Doc Adams and saloon owner Miss Kitty Russell are also up for grabs, so there could even be a stampede of actors trying to attach themselves to this television spin-off, that the studio hopes will be as long-running as the original Gunsmoke – 20 years!

Ideally, I’d like to see good old Kevin Costner dust off that Winchester, strap on the Smith and Wesson and take the reins of the film, but I’m a realist and he’s probably seen as too old and not a big enough star to get bums on seats. In reality, the role will probably go to some young buck like Taylor Lautner, which is a real shame.

Screen Rant will keep you up to date on any Gunsmoke news from the wild west that is Hollywood.

Yee ha!

After ‘Sherlock Holmes’ managed to uncover more than $65 million in its opening weekend, ‘Sherlock Holmes 2? is being planned with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law already committed.

But the big surprise will be the addition of Brad Pitt as Professor Moriarty.

“The director, Guy Ritchie, loves Brad,” an industry source tells me.

“He has worked with him before and thinks he is one of the most underrated actors working today. Guy knows that everyone thinks of as a Pitt as a pretty boy and can’t wait to turn him into the world’s greatest supervillain. It will definitely make the sequel a must-see.”

Pitt and Ritchie worked together on 2000’s ‘Snatch,’ in which Pitt played a mumbling, can’t-understand-a-word-he-says Irish gypsy fighter. He definitely wasn’t a ‘pretty boy’ in it, and hopefully that’s exactly what Ritchie can pull out of him again.

As for Brad, an insider tells me he’s “very interested in taking on the role and happy they aren’t considering his kick-ass partner Angelina for the part.”

You may have heard reports this weekend that Hollywood power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had separated. News of the World had indicated that Brangelina had met with a top divorce lawyer in order to figure out how to split their multi-million dollar fortune, as well as their bazillion children. Can we even talk about how much paper would be wasted writing up that kind of document? Of course, Brad and Angie aren’t married, so legally, they could separate at any time. However, the fact that Saint Angelina just loves to add kids to her family (she’s like a richer Octo-mom) would, of course, have complicated things. However, new reports claim that the Brangelina fortune won’t be split at all, because the couple doesn’t intend to break up any time soon. That being said, the media is still having a field day with this story. Tabloid covers read, “Brad’s Misery!” and “How Jen Split Them!”

You know what this means. It means instead of bringing water to Haiti or doing community service, Angie’s going to be putting on her dirtiest clothes and her best face to adopt another twenty kids. Brad might have shown his support in a normal way – at George Clooney’s Hope for Haiti telethon (which, BTdubs, has raised $61 million to date, not to mention produced a charity CD that’s currently #1 on iTunes), but Angie doesn’t know how to do normal. Mothers of Haiti, watch out!

When you have six kids, well you better have a whole lot of running around room. Brad Pitt apparently knows this very well and has just made a real estate purchase to expand the family’s compound in the hills of Los Feliz in Los Angeles.

Brad bought the house next door for $1.1 million. The home is a 3,232-square foot 20’s era home that has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and even has a secret cave! It was originally $2 but it was reduced to $1.495. But Brad, he got it for just $1.1 million.
