Brad Pitt Flashes a Wedding Ring — Is He Telling Angelina Jolie He’s Ready to Get Hitched?

That suspiciously shiny silver band on Brad Pitt’s left hand is making us wonder: Is the Moneyball star having altar envy?

Yes, Brad and Angelina Jolie have proclaimed they’re not getting married until everyone — i.e., gays — can get married all across the U.S., but when we spot Brad with a wedding ring on, we gotta ask, Is Brad getting an itchy ring finger? (Just for the record, he was on the L.A. set of his new film Moneyball.)

What Jon Voight Says About the Way Shiloh Dresses

What does grandpa Jon Voight think?

"Shiloh's an amazing person," he told UsMagazine.com Sunday at a gala honoring film producer Avi Arad in Los Angeles. "I look at the way she dresses and she has a style! And she's only 4-years old! I'm going, 'What!?'"

Echoing previous remarks made by Angelina Jolie, Voight, 71, told Us, "Shiloh chooses everything she wears, so she's an amazing person. The press, they're going to make a lot of stuff about it, but she's incredible."

Jolie recently described Shiloh as having "Montenegro style" -- a phrase that baffled many fashion experts -- because she prefers to wear "tracksuits." "Shiloh’s hysterically funny, one of the goofiest, most playful people you’ll ever meet," she said. "....Goofy and verbal, the early signs of a performer."

Jolie, 35, recently scoffed at reports that she chooses Shiloh's clothes for her.

"I think she is fascinating," she told Reuters, "the choices she is making."

Brad Pitt Takes Zahara to American Girl Store (photo)

Father-daughter bonding time!

On Saturday, Brad Pitt took some time off shooting the baseball drama Moneyball to hang with 5-year-old daughter Zahara.

Donning his usual newsboy cap, the actor, 46, was photographed holding the girl's hand at a birthday party for rocker Chris Cornell's daughter Toni at the American Girl store in Los Angeles.

A witness tells UsMagazine.com: "Several little girls were invited to the party and Zahara arrived with Brad around noon. Word quickly spread around that they were at the Grove and a big scene formed outside. Brad was very cordial to fans. As they left, he waved and gave a thumbs up to everyone. He held Zahara's hand, and she looked very happy. She had a goodie bag from American Girl place that she opened as soon as she got in the car."

Zahara - whom Pitt and longtime love Angelina Jolie adopted from Ethiopia in 2006 - has "got an extraordinary voice," Jolie, 35, recently gushed to Vanity Fair. She added that their daughter also is "just so elegant and well spoken."

Angelina Jolie has cast a little-known Bosnian actress as the lead in her directorial debut. "Snow" star Zana Marjanovic, 27, will front the untitled wartime love story. The actress tells the Associated Press she's very excited about the prospect of working with a "great actress and humanist" like Jolie.

The Oscar winner hopes to start shooting the film later this year in Hungary and Bosnia.

On another news, Jolie's rep has blasted rumors mentioning the "Salt" actress will pen an autobiography, which reportedly will include "her experimenting with lesbianism, her struggle with mental illness and how she won Brad Pitt." National Enquirer, who first reported the stories, also claimed, "By not mentioning Jen at all, it's like Angie saying her love rival for Brad doesn't even exist on the same planet as her." Denying the stories, the rep stated that it was "not true."

Brad Pitt hitches a lift then gets towed on the set of his new film

It seems like no one wants Brad Pitt to actually drive himself anywhere.

The 46-year-old actor was spotted on the set of his new film Moneyball hitching a ride in a golf buggy driven by a female assistant between shooting locations.

Brad looked none too pleased to be in the passenger seat as they whizzed through the set in San Pedro, California over the weekend.

Brad was then dropped off at his new form of transportation - a black pick up truck.

But he wouldn't be allowed to actually drive that either, as it was loaded on to a flat bed truck rigged with cameras.

Brad, wearing a black leather jacket and aviator sunglasses. jumped in the truck and pretended to drive it while cameras rolled.

In the film Brad plays Billy Beane, manager of the Oakland A's baseball team.

The biopic follows Beane and his successful attempt to put together a successful baseball team using computer generated analysis to draft relatively unknown players.

The film has been shooting over the summer in Oakland and Los Angeles and co-stars Jonah Hill, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Robin Wright.

Ready for action: brad looked cool in a black leather jacket and aviator glasses

While Brad is busy filming his long term partner Angelina Jolie is on the other side of the world carrying out various foreign missions as part of her role as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador.

After completing filming on The Tourist with Johnny Depp, Jolie, 35 in France and Italy, the actress headed to Pakistan to draw attention to victims of the devastating floods that occurred last month.

She even took her two eldest daughters, Shiloh and Zahara along with her.

But despite the separation Brad and Angelina, who have been together for 5 years and have six children together, are still going strong.

The couple recently purchased a $39 million mansion in Italy - not something a couple would do if they were on the verge of a break up.

Angelina Jolie & Johnny Depp Have Hot & Steamy Sex In The Shower!

HollywoodLife.com has seen the script of Angelina and Johnny’s upcoming film, The Tourist, and trust us — they’re going to set the screen on fire!

Oh yeah, baby! Shocking as it may sound, Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp HAVE had wild and crazy sex! However, Brad Pitt and Vanessa Paradis don’t have to worry about their partners cheating –  they simply shot the steamy scenes for their upcoming thriller, The Tourist!

HollywoodLife.com has obtained the script for the flick, which is based on the 2005 French film, Anthony Zimmer, and let us tell you…you’ll be seeing a lot of action in more ways than one! Johnny, 47, plays Frank Taylor, a just-divorced and completely clueless American tourist who gets pulled into an alluring web of lies told by mysterious and heartbreakingly beautiful Englishwoman Elise Mason (Angelina).

After meeting as strangers on a train, Elise and Frank check into the exclusive Danieli Hotel in Venice, Italy; Elise, who’s on a secret mission to help the love of her life – a British criminal mastermind named Alexander Pearce who’s face she hasn’t seen for years -  tells Frank he can sleep on the couch.

However, after seeing the gal he calls “the most beautiful woman on earth” in the shower, Frank can’t help himself and totally seduces Elise! The script reads, “Walking in, he LIFTS [Elise] against the glass, clutching at her slithery body, kissing her frantically…she kisses him back with ardor, wrapping her dripping legs around his back…”

Angelina Jolie blamed for Shiloh’s cross-dressing style

The tabloids have devoted acres of ink to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt letting their 4-year old daughter, Shiloh dress like a tomboy. But despite her denials, an insider insists Angelina is really the cause.

“She’s been dressing Shiloh in her older brother Maddox’s hand-me-downs for years, “ the snoop tells L&S. “Including making her wear boys’ boxer shorts.”

And the professionals seem inclined to agree;

“It definitely doesn’t look like she dressed herself,” Children’s stylist Zoey Washington concurs

On September 14, Shiloh gave us all ample proof – She arrived at LAX wearing a boys ‘Old Navy’ boys polo shirt, shorts which her brother Maddox was seen in back in 2007 – and huge, unlaced combat boots.

“Maybe her mom had her stylist throw the look together,” Washington ponders.

“Angelina has an idea that each child should have a specific personality she picked out for them, practically at birth,” the insider shares. “Shiloh’s the tomboy.”

Angie even chose a boy’s name – In Hebrew, Shiloh has several meanings including “His gift” and “He who is to be sent” and is traditionally reserved for a son.

And in a recent interview Angelina said she purposely dresses her daughter “like a little dude.”

“Shiloh, we feel, has Montenegro style,” she recently explained. “It’s how people dress there. She likes tracksuits and regular suits. She likes to dress like a boy.”

Brad Pitt also told reporters that, while at home, Shiloh asks to be called Peter or John.

“It’s normal for a little girl to explore the opposite gender,” says psychologist Jonathan Alpert. “But if a parent is trying to deny the child a cultural norm, that’s a different story. Parents shouldn’t push an agenda via their child.”

If I want to avoid attention I just invite Brad and Angelina and their fifteen kids over to use as Decoys

HOLLYWOOD stars have long had ways of avoiding overkeen fans and snooping cameras.

Using fake names, tinted windows and the occasional disguise are among them.

But Tinseltown's George Clooney jokes he has devised a cunning ruse - he invites close pals Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their kids round to his villa in Laglio, Italy.

They get all the attention and he can sneak off for some peace.

In an exclusive interview, Clooney says: "It's much easier for me to hang out with friends at a restaurant in Laglio or a lot of other small villages and towns without 50 photographers showing up in half an hour.

"My life over there takes me away from the circus aspects of being a celebrity and that's a pleasant change for me.

"But unfortunately Laglio is turning into a bit of a tourist mecca now and so I have to be a little more careful whenever I'm there - either that, or I should just stand at the entrance to the village handing out tourist brochures.

"I don't really worry about that though."

"Whenever I want, I can always stage a diversion and invite Brad and Angie and their 15 children to come over.

"Then I can sneak away to the other side of the lake by boat and do whatever I want."

Brad and George have been pals for years, having worked together on the three Ocean's films - which kicked off in 2001 with Ocean's Eleven - and 2008 flick Burn After Reading.

Handily Clooney's next movie, The American, is largely set in Italy, so he hasn't had to stray far from his adopted country.

It follows on from the Oscar-nominated hit Up In The Air - featuring Clooney as an executive who flies around firing staff at downsizing firms - which opened in January to rave reviews.

The actor is making slightly fewer films than before as he is enjoying a more relaxed life in Europe.

And he admits his work ethic has damaged his personal life in the past. George has not settled down again since his 1993 divorce from actress Talia Balsam, 51, although he has been dating beautiful Italian TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis for more than a year.

He said: "I was working so hard on my film projects that for a time I basically didn't even think very much about how my personal life was evolving.

"I didn't care, in the sense that I didn't have a family or children to look after and that I wasn't involved in any long-term relationships.

"What changed my life in a very pleasant and unexpected way was buying the villa in Laglio. That was a pure investment decision - I thought maybe I would spend a few weeks vacationing there.

"But then I realised how beautiful life was in Italy and how it really helped calm me and not feel so pressured.

"I could also work very productively and bring my friends over to keep me company."

On the surface, George is the star with everything.

The silver-haired heart-throb has an Oscar, the pick of the best film roles, a stunning Italian girlfriend and the villa on Lake Como.

But one trauma continues to nag at the actor - the ongoing genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan in Africa.

Four years ago Clooney and his journalist dad Nick smuggled cameras into the Darfur refugee camps to show the terrible impact of a civil war that is estimated to have killed more than 300,000.

No end is in sight to the bloody conflict despite Sudan's president Omar al-Bashir being charged by the International Criminal Court for allegedly orchestrating the genocide.

George says: "I've been honoured to be able to lend my celebrity to help wherever I can, especially on behalf of the United Nations.

"But in the case of Darfur it's been the greatest failure of my life.

"With other people, we've been able to get a lot of attention focused on the terrible situation there and nothing has changed. It's very frustrating."

On Sunday, the 49-year-old picked up a humanitarian award for his good work, which has also included helping the victims of January's earthquake in Haiti and of Hurricane Katrina which struck New Orleans in 2005.

He reckons he inherited this desire to speak out on important issues from his 76-year-old father.

George said: "My dad believed there's a right way to live and a right way to run a government.

"So he has never shied away from speaking his mind on certain issues and being politically outspoken even if that cost him his job or made his life difficult.

"So I grew up appreciating the meaning of the notion of integrity and I owe that to my father."

His new film, The American, sees Clooney as an assassin preparing for his last job. Opening on November 26, it is directed by Anton Corbijn, who made the Joy Division singer Ian Curtis biopic, Control.

It is another medium-budget production for Clooney who admits he has deliberately avoided making blockbusters since the 1997 flop Batman & Robin.

He said: "There was so much hype around my being Batman and then I nearly killed the franchise and my career along with it.

"I also didn't want to do a lot of easy romantic comedies. I wanted to make films like Three Kings and Out Of Sight because those kinds of films are trying to push the envelope and have a chance to leave some kind of mark."

Clooney ensures he keeps work and pleasure separate. He said: "You have to be willing to work hard to create your own sense of freedom and that's where the real art of living comes in.

"I probably have as much fun as anyone but I'm extremely disciplined when it comes to dividing my time between work and play.

"I don't even drink as much as I used to because I just can't stand wasting the next day recovering from a hangover any more."

While he considers hard work a major reason for his success since quitting TV series ER to make it big in Hollywood, he also realises luck has played a role. And he says stars shouldn't be fooled into thinking they are creative geniuses.

George said: "I grew up around famous people. In the world I grew up in - Cincinnati, Ohio - my father was a big star as a TV news anchorman and my Aunt Rosemary was one of the most popular singers in America.

"But I learnt from how her career sank in the Sixties. I saw how little it has to do with you. It's all about luck.

"The problem with famous people in general is that they actually think they're geniuses.

"You get famous and you think, 'Yes, of course I should be famous and I've earned it all'. You haven't, though. You got lucky. I got lucky."


He continues to hold out for more good fortune, believing his best work is in front of him.

He smiled: "I still feel I haven't done my best work although I've at least put myself in the position where I can keep doing what I love and enjoy the process.

"That, for me, is what it's all about. I've had a pretty good plan which I've been following for the last ten years or so in terms of becoming a director, developing my own projects and taking my work to the next level.

"I even have a bit of a personal life these days."

Laughing, he added: "I don't want to make anyone sick, but things are going pretty well for me."

Angelina Jolie's father Jon Voight Brags About His Grandchildren: "They're All Smart"

Jon Voight continues to relish his role as grandpa to the children of his daughter, Angelina Jolie, and her partner, Brad Pitt.

"Shiloh, oh boy, she's a smart one, but she's four years old, you can never tell what she does, her face lights up," the Coming Home Best Actor Oscar winner, 71, told reporters at FOX's Fall Eco-Casino Party at L.A.'s Boa Restaurant this week.

"They're all smart," says Voight. "Z's smart, they're all smart I'll tell you. Maddox, Pax, Z … I gotta get all their names, because you can't cheat and I'm not going to. Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne, they're all very smart kids, beautiful too."

As for keeping in touch with his six grandchildren via Skype, as Voight vowed to do, "I'm trying!" he says, "Maddox says 'okay' – he writes me back 'okay' and then I can't get it, but I've been away for my computer so I couldn't get back to him."

RELATED: INSIDE STORY: How Angelina and Dad Jon Voight Are Healing Their Rift


Rather than become frustrated with his lack of computer skills in communicating with Maddox, Voight says he's probably "going to see him" soon, and "what's better than that?"

Voight is costarring in FOX's new drama Lone Star, in which he plays the patriarch of a Texas oil family, a role that won approval from Jolie – whom he says, "knows what I like" and is "very astute."

Does this mean his grandchildren might be tuning in, too? "I don't think they'll be that interested in it, you know," he says. "But they might be."
