Brad "Evel Knievel" Pitt Wants Deals on New Wheels
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.

Update
Brad Pitt's Bike Crash: What Really Happened?
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 Does John Stamos Gotta Lie? Madonna, Too!
Fame Pictures
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...
Reese Talks Cucumbers, Cozy Time With Jake
InStyle
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?
Do Celeb Do-Gooders Actually Do Any, Uh, Good?

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...
Have Angie and Jen Ever Had It Out?

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...
Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt Visit Iraqi Refugees in Syria
UNHCR/ S. Malkawi
They'll never let us forget they are more than just pretty faces. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took time out of their schedules on Friday to bring attention to the continuing plight of the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi refugees still living in Syria.
Jolie, a United Nations goodwill ambassador, and her significant other spent time with two different families in the Syrian capital of Damascus. They also met with Syrian president Bashar al-Assad to discuss the efforts being made toward health care and education.
How Can I Tell If a Celeb Breakup Is for Real?
Flynet
I read that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are supposed to be on the rocks. But the tabloids say that about every couple. How can I tell what's real?
—Jenni, via the Answer B!tch inbox
For this answer I have turned to my bitter Twitter archnemesis Ted Casablanca, who wages a daily siege against me and my innocent B!tchlettes in poisonous stealth bombs of 140 characters or less. He has great secrets on how to tell whether celebrities are lying about their breakup status.
Curious about Jessica and Justin, Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy, all of whom have had their couplehood questioned of late?

Is It Weird for Shiloh to Lose a Tooth at Age 3?
Flynetonline.com
Why is little Shiloh losing her teeth when she's only 3? I can see why Pax is, but not Shiloh.
—MamaMe, via the Answer B!tch inbox
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have not—shocker!—issued a press release answering questions raised by photos of their daughter Shiloh Nouvel's gappy smile this week. But according to pediatricians, the front tooth loss experienced by 5-year-old Pax is within the scope of normal, but 3-year-olds? Not so much, I'm told.
It is explainable, just not common. So what's going on inside the Jolie-Pitt household? Read on, and decide for yourself...
Brad & His Beard Talk Rebuilding With Bill Clinton

Brad Pitt's beard isn't the only thing that's growing right before our eyes.
So is New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward, thanks to the bang-up job the actor's ecofriendly foundation is doing down south.
"I don't know how we build any other way anywhere else," Pitt said, addressing an audience today at the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting in New York. "We can no longer tell ourselves that implementing this technology is too complex a problem because it's just been proven on this little spot on the map."
Pitt, who started his Make It Right Foundation in 2007, said that the average family pays $35 per month for electricity in one of the green-minded homes built by his organization, while construction costs have decreased overall.
Hurricane Katrina battered the Big Easy in 2005 and Pitt has pledged to help construct 150 houses. He and Angelina Jolie also live in New Orleans part-time.
Other Hollywood-accented do-gooders on the roster of featured attendees at Clinton's annual summit, which started Tuesday and ends tomorrow, included Matt Damon, Quincy Jones, Martin Scorsese, Alicia Keys, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Mira Sorvino and longtime Clinton pal Barbra Streisand.

Angelina Jolie Takes the Tykes Out for Toys
Flynet
Imagine perusing the aisles of your local Toys "R" Us in Toulon, France, when somewhere between Elmo and Dora the Explorer, you spot a Pax. Or a Shiloh and a Zahara for that matter.
Well, that's exactly what happened to the fine folks out shopping for playthings on Tuesday when Angelina Jolie herself stopped in with half her brood (Maddox, Vivienne and Knox apparently opted to sit this one out) while Papa Pitt continued to promote Inglourious Basterds in Spain and grow his beard.
Oh, but the real excitement didn't come until after the famous family left the store…
