Latest Candids

As you can tell, I haven't really been updating the gallery with candids and other photos. I've been a little pre-occupied with some of my other sites and other things. But I'm starting to update now. I just added 2 sets of candids to the gallery. I'll also be adding captures of Brad's movie Inglorious Basterds to the gallery within the next couple days, as well as captures of Ocean's Thirteen and Spy Game. Enjoy the candids and keep checking back for the captures! :)

Angelina: Fidelity is not essential in a relationship with Brad Pitt

Despite playing house with Brad Pitt for the past four years, Angelina Jolie has not abandoned her wild side entirely.

The actress, who had the reputation for being a wild child in her early 20s, says she doesn't think monogamy is required for a healthy relationship and admits her fights with Pitt can get physical.

"I doubt that fidelity is absolutely essential for a relationship," she told Germany's Das Neue magazine. "It's worse to leave your partner and talk badly about him afterwards."

The 34-year-old, who has often denied sleeping with Pitt when he was still married to actress Jennifer Aniston, said that this freedom applies to all aspects of the couple's life together.

"Neither Brad nor I have ever claimed that living together means to be chained together," she added. "We make sure that we never restrict each other."

The woman who was infamous for wearing a vial of ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton's blood also tells the magazine that her fights with Pitt can get violent.

"The sparks fly at home if the nice Brad fails to see that he's wrong and reacts in a defiant way. Then I can get so angry that I tear his shirt."

The Hollywood couple has been together since 2005 and has six children together, three of whom are biological.

They reportedly began their affair on the set of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" when Pitt was still married to Aniston. Though Jolie still maintains that she was not a homewrecker.

"To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive," she told Das Neue. "I could not look at myself in the morning, if I did that."

Brad & Angelina’s Giving Spirit

Always willing to help the less fortunate, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated a $100,000 gift to SOS Children’s Villages for Christmas this year.

The “Babel” stud and his “Changeling” lady have been supporters of SOS charity- which has 500 “villages” in 132 countries - for several years.

In a statement, Angelina tells, “We have seen firsthand the remarkable job SOS does to raise orphaned and abandoned children and keep families together.”

Brad continued, “The poor outcomes for foster children indicate that we must do a much better job at supporting them.”

Their donation goes to the charity’s USA facilities which are located in Florida and Illinois.

‘Sherlock Holmes:’ Brad Pitt STILL isn’t Prof. Moriarty

“Sherlock Holmes” is clearly the movie everyone’s talking about. Some Doyle purists have objected to the obviously high-octane approach used in the current film, arguing that Holmes is a cerebral character who solves problems with his mind. He isn’t the “hard-boiled dick” type that emerged with the popularity of pulp magazines like “Black Mask,” giving rise to characters like Sam Spade and probably epitomized by Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer. Yet Doyle’s Holmes was no slouch in hand-to-combat, and Doyle mentions Holmes as having backgrounds in boxing and Japanese martial arts (“The Sign of the Four,” “The Adventure of the Empty House”).

Amazingly, the rumors that Brad Pitt is in “Sherlock Holmes,” opening Christmas day, are still circulating. It seems like rumors have been swirling for ages that Pitt is glimpsed in the shadows of the Guy Ritchie re-imagining of Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic, Victorian detective stories, supposedly laying the groundwork for him to co-star in the sequel as the villainous Professor Moriarty.

On September 24th, a spokesperson for Warner Brothers specifically told me that Brad Pitt does not appear in “Sherlock Holmes,” and was not attached to a sequel at that time. The role of Professor Moriarty, if the character does indeed appear in a sequel, has yet to be cast. Producer Daniel Lim recently told Collider the same thing.

Moriarty was created by Doyle but isn’t all that major a character in the original stories. He was dreamed up by Doyle as a foil who could kill off Holmes when the author got tired of the character and wanted to concentrate on what he considered to be his more important literary endeavors. Doyle and Moriarty failed, as it turned out. Doyle hadn’t even written half his Holmes output when he wrote “The Final Problem,” which was meant at the time to be Holmes’ swan song.

Hollywood made Moriarty a prominent recurring villain in the long series of movies starring Basil Rathbone as the best known Holmes, and Nigel Bruce, who chiseled the concept of an elderly, bumbling Watson in stone. George Zucco, Lionel Atwill and Henry Daniell all played Moriarty in that series.

Interestingly, Boris Karloff, one of the greatest movie villains of all time and who was under contract to Universal during part of the period they were producing the Holmes movies, never played the part. He did appear with Rathbone in the movie “The Tower of London.”

Whether or not Pitt will play Moriarty is an open question. He doesn’t seem natural casting. He isn’t English and although now a legitimately middle-aged man, he looks younger. Hugo Weaving would seem a better choice. Or maybe someone think of digitally resurrecting Karloff and give him the shot at the role he never played but should have.

The villain in the current film is Mark Strong, who was in “RocknRolla” for director Guy Ritchie last year, and has been in no fewer than four films in 2009 alone: “Endgame,” “The Young Victoria,” “The Odds” and “Sherlock Holmes.” He has four films in post-production, including Ridley Scott’s uber-budget “Robin Hood,” is filming “The Guard” and is attached to Pixar’s live-action “John Carter of Mars,” which is scheduled to begin filming next year.
