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.”

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have made good on their promise to reach out to victims of the massive earthquake that struck the island of Haiti on Tuesday.

The couple donated $1 million to Doctors Without Borders for the organization’s emergency medical operations in Haiti, UsMagazine.com has confirmed.

“It is incredibly horrible to see a catastrophe of this size hit a people who have been suffering from extreme poverty, violence and unrest for so many decades,” Jolie — who has served as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations since 2001 — said in a statement.

Pitt — who, along with Jolie, has been a longtime supporter of Doctors Without Borders — added, “We understand the first response is critical to serve the immediate needs of countless people who are now displaced from their homes, are suffering trauma, and most require urgent care.”

Earlier on Wednesday, Pitt, 46, and Jolie, 34, said they were “devastated by the news” and pledged their support.

In a statement, the couple said, “We will work closely with our good friend Wyclef Jean to support the humanitarian efforts on the island and help those who have been injured and left without homes and shelter.”

Wal-Mart may be able to beat competitors’ prices, but it can’t match others’ generosity. The world’s largest retail chain has pledged to donate $500,000 to the victims of the Haiti earthquake, as well as aid kits valued at $100,000. This combined six hundred grand falls short of what some in Hollywood are giving, or even what one Wall Street titan is promising.

Celebrity stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have pledged $1 million to Haiti, specifically to Doctors Without Borders so it can staff and equip a 100-bed tent hospital with two operating rooms.

Bank of America also is pledging $1 million, along with UPS, Lowe’s and Abbot Laboratories in the form of either direct or in-kind support.

MovieLine.com is reporting that Matt Damon and Brad Pitt will both be lending their voices to Happy Feet 2, the sequel to the 2006 animated movie. It’s being reported that both actors were recording for their characters this week, although there is no indication as to what characters they will be voicing.

Damon and Pitt will join the likes of Robin Williams, Elijah Wood, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman and Hugo Weaving in the movie. The 2006 hit movie was the story of a tap dancing penguin named Mumble (Elijah Wood).

Happy Feet 2 will be in theatres on November 18, 2011.

While it’s been widely believed that Brad Pitt is a cinch to play the treacherous Moriarty in the next Sherlock Holmes film, the current villain, played by actor Mark Strong, tells Moviefone that’s news to him.

“Is he?” said Strong, who plays the devilish Lord Blackwood, when asked whether Pitt is a go for the ‘Sherlock’ sequel. “I know there were rumors flying around and I know they certainly would have loved to have Brad come in and do it.”

“I think there are other people in the frame, although I don’t really know any names. But I know they wanted somebody impressive, so that if the film was the success that it is, it would leave the way free for someone to come in. And I think Brad and Guy [Ritchie] are friends from ‘Snatch’ days. It’s as simple as that. I’m sure a conversation was had, but I honestly don’t know if it means he’s going to be in the next one. I’ve no idea.”

This seems to contradict a recent report from Popeater’s Rob Shuter, who was told by an industry source that Pitt is “very interested in taking on the role” and that Ritchie “can’t wait to turn him into the world’s greatest supervillain.” Of course, nothing official has been announced yet, either way.

In the current film, the only glimpses we get of Sherlock Holmes’ (Robert Downey Jr.) nemesis Moriarty is of his hands, but the ending paves the way for a Moriarty-Holmes showdown in the next film. Strong said he has no idea who “played” Moriarty in the current film, as Strong is not in any of those scenes.

Come back Monday for our full interview with Strong on working with Ritchie and Robert Downey Jr., his villainous roles in ‘Body of Lies’ and the upcoming ‘Robin Hood,’ opposite Russell Crowe, and how he feels about being mistaken for Stanley Tucci.

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.”

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.
