Brad Pitt's New Fight Club: Battling Aliens

On the eve of New Moon's opening, it's only natural O.G. cinema vamp Brad Pitt would want a share of the spotlight.

And what Pitt wants, Pitt gets, this time courtesy of the news that he's set to develop—and most likely take the lead role in—a big-screen adaptation of Dark Void, a forthcoming shoot-'em-up video game.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Pitt would ostensibly star as Will, a cargo pilot who finds himself in a parallel universe after crashing in the Bermuda Triangle. He and his outnumbered crew, along with their mysterious, unnamed "powers," end up fighting aliens that were previously presumed to be extinct.

The film-inspiring game is released in January.

See Brangelina Step Out for Art's Sake...and Lady Gaga?

More from H'Wood Party Girl

We already knew Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are big art buffs...but are they Lady Gaga fans too?

The famous, jewelry-designing duo left their six kids home and hit MOCA's 30th anniversary gala Saturday night, where they got a personal tour of the museum.

By the looks of things, they both seemed to be in a good mood. Angelina joked and smiled as a bearded Brad affectionately touched her arm. (So much for the trouble in paradise rumors.)

Viewing artwork up close wasn't the only thing VIP guests were treated to...

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Design Sparkly, Slithery Things

When you're as shiny as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, it would stand to reason that you would create shiny things too, right?

Hollywood's most golden couple have teamed with high-end jeweler Asprey for a capsule collection called the Protector, according to Women's Wear Daily. The shimmering gold and silver accessories are inspired by snakes.

You know, because nothing says precious metals and stones like slithering creatures. And dudes with really hideous beards.

The limited-edition collection hits stores this week, with prices starting at $525 for a silver baby spoon. Proceeds benefit Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which Angie cofounded.

Apparently, the mega mama received a snake ring just before giving birth to Shiloh and she considered it a protector of her family.

Speaking of families, you'll never guess who else is designing glittery baubles?

Brad Pitt Jonesing to Get Basterdly Again

Directors, beware! If you plan on booking Brad Pitt for a film, you may want to check in with Quentin Tarantino first.

Sounds like an Inglourious Basterds prequel is Pitt's top priority.

"Everybody would drop whatever they're doing to go back to work with Quentin," Pitt's Basterds costar Eli Roth told us at the Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards presented by Movieline.com in Hollywood. "All the time, Brad says, 'Prequel, prequel!' All the 'basterds' would jump on it in a second."

In fact, this possible prequel is already under way...sorta. Read on for the details.

Brad "Evel Knievel" Pitt Wants Deals on New Wheels

Brad Pitt Fame Pictures

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.

Brad Pitt's Bike Crash: What Really Happened?

Brad Pitt INFphoto.com

Did you hear the one about Brad Pitt's motorcycle mishap?

Countless Rashomon-like reports of the chopper spill circulated in cyberspace all day Saturday, and while both Los Angeles and Beverly Hills Police departments confirm that there have been no accidents reported, here's what we know.

Sources tell E! News that the incident wasn't much of an accident, but rather Pitt's mirror nicked the mirror of an adjacent car and he lost balance on his bike. His motorcycle reportedly wouldn't start after it fell to the ground, so the star called his security team for a lift. 

The source says the other car involved in the mix-up belonged to the paparazzi, but it was Pitt who got too close.

But wait, there's more...

Why did John Stamos bother to lie about being drunk on a talk show when it was so obvious he was? And now he's confessed—why lie if you're just going to get caught?
—Cotton, via the Answer B!tch inbox

Come now. The stars, they already give us so much—sharing their mama's Cuban chicken recipe with Us Weekly and telling us that they're wearing Galliano on the red carpet. Can't a star manipulate people in peace without you greedy fans always asking for more, more, more?

I mean it's not like stars lie about everything, just every aspect of their lives—including whoppers such as...

There's a reason why Reese Witherspoon is one of the craftiest broads in Hollywood.

Even though we know we're being manipulated with each interview into thinking of this pixie as the sweet girl next door (which she ain't), she does it in a way that makes us still like her. Jennifer Garner take notes, by all means.

Reese covers In Style next month and totally takes a play outta the Brangelina interview book.

Like opening up about her sex life, perhaps?

Yet another star, Mia Farrow, has spoken out for poor people. Does that translate into dollars or just "awareness"?
—Haro, Wisconsin

I love awareness. Such a fine cause, that. Between Angelina Jolie and the refugees (sounds like a Tom Petty cover band, don't it?), Brad Pitt and his work in New Orleans, Mia Farrow and the kids from Gaza, and Orlando Bloom, who recently signed on to help out UNICEF...I just feel so much more aware!

Like, every single second!

But are the stars achieving anything else for the needy? Like, say, money? Depends on one thing...

Even though Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie reportedly met briefly on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith—aka the movie that ate Jen's marriage to Brad Pitt—we're just dying to know if the gals have encountered each other since. Aren't you?

So remember our fab Brangelina insider who gave us all the scoop on how Jen and Angelina currently feel toward each other? Now we gotta ask: Have they or haven't they had it out?

Is it time the public (OK, mostly media) to stop dragging out this whole Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie-Jennifer Aniston faux love triangle? Jen got dumped for another girl—big deal, happens all the time and certainly in more places than just Hollywood.

But then that means we can't poke Jen with the lonely jabs anymore, huh?

Well, according to our supertight Brangelina and Jen pal, all of us are the only ones who never got over the famous 2005 dumping.

"Angelina really couldn't care less," fesses our source tight with the Pitt-Jolie brood, when we asked what would happen if Jen and Angie had a casual run-in.

"And Jennifer really has moved on. I promise you this."

Take moved on with a grain of salt, dare we say...
