Stop the international presses! Brad Pitt is kinda maybe sorta interested in buying himself another motorcycle.

This is the breaking news flash out of Tokyo this morning, where the Beautiful Bearded One is currently making the promotional rounds for Inglourious Basterds, which is finally opening in Japan.

"I had a little mishap," he explained when asked about his pavement-pounding, paparazzi-captured bike topple last week.

"No injuries, except my ego. I was trying to get away from some paparazzi and instead gave them a good story."

Actually, Brad, "good" may be overselling it a bit, but we'll assume that after three months on the publicity trail, any new talking point is welcomed with open arms.

"It was my favorite bike, so that is really sad."

Not Iraqi-refugees-in-Syria sad, mind you, but still a bit of a bummer. And a rather easily fixable one, at that.

"I will definitely be looking at motorcycles," he said. "You've got some of the best builders right here."

Something tells us this guy would beg to differ. But domo arigato all the same.
