Moneyball star Brad Pitt got himself in a heap of trouble when he candidly spoke to Parade about his marriage to Jennifer Aniston.
Pitt told the mag that in the ’90s, he was bored with life, including his marriage to Aniston. Continue reading
Brad Pitt is singing like a bird lately. In this week’s issue of PARADE, he spills many a secret including why he became a father, why he won’t marry Angelina Jolie and why his marriage to Jennifer Aniston was pretend.
Check out some excerpts below, then visit Parade.com on Friday (Aug. 7) for the full interview.
On why he won’t marry Angelina Jolie:
“I have love in my life, a soul mate–absolutely. When someone asked me why Angie and I don’t get married, I replied, ‘Maybe we’ll get married when it’s legal for everyone else.’ I stand by that, although I took a lot of flak for saying it–hate mail from religious groups. I believe everyone should have the same rights. They say gay marriage ruins families and hurts kids. Well, I’ve had the privilege of seeing my gay friends being parents and watching their kids grow up in a loving environment.”
On knowing real love:
“Do you know how you tell real love? It’s when someone else’s interest trumps your own… Love of somebody else–of family, of your kids–becomes the most important, most worthwhile thing in your life.
On Angelina as a mom:
“One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom. She is such a great mom. Oh, man, I’m so happy to have her.”
On his marriage to Jennifer Aniston:
“I spent the ’90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic. It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage [to actress Jennifer Aniston] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”
On the secret stone grotto behind the waterfall in his pool:
“[It’s] a great place for sex.”
Eva Longoria has totally rebounded from her divorce from Tony Parker and said on the Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday that she is now in a “happy place.”
“Everybody was just pulling for you and hoping you’d be happy, because we love you so much,” DeGeneres told Longoria, before asking the actress to tell her what lessons she’s learned from the split.
“For me, being a woman, I realized you cannot identify yourself through a man or through your marriage … or through a partner.” She continued, “I think it’s our nature to be socially constructed that way. To just be inferior or subservient and you don’t have to be.”
Longoria added, “You can be yourself and really hold your own by yourself no matter what partnership you’re in.”
Eva finished by giving two thumbs up to her divorce: “I’m going, ‘Wow!’ I think divorce agrees with me!”
Ellen asked Longoria: “Are you and Parker still friendly? Do you still talk?”
“No,” Eva said.

Brad Pitt graces the cover of this week’s Entertainment Weekly and inside gives a rare in-depth interview from London while promoting Moneyball and shooting the zombie epic World War Z.
“We should be doing them together. That’s what we should do. We should be doing everything together. Then we could work less and have more time off.”
In the interview, Pitt also frankly discusses his career failures. Take 1994’s Interview with The Vampire, for example, which makes him admit: “I am miserable. Six months in the f—ing dark. Contact lenses, makeup, I’m playing the bitch role…” He continues, “One day, it broke me… I called David Geffen, who was a producer… I said, ‘David, I can’t do this anymore. I can’t do it. How much will it take to get me out?’ And he goes, very calmly, ‘Forty million dollars.’”

Another reality show romance made in TV heaven bites the dust. American Idol‘s Pia Toscano and Dancing with the Stars‘ Mark Ballas who met on the CBS lot where both shows are taped have called it quits.
“They both decided with everything going on that they couldn’t give each other what would be fair,” a source told People. “They mutually decided this.”
Ballas of course has downplayed any potential romance between him and his dancing partner. “No, none of that,” he told E! News recently. “We’re just friends.”
