Brad Pitt BPitt1110Part51_X17.jpgBrad Pitt has reportedly "never made peace" with his stardom, and during a recent roundtable discussion with other stars for Newsweek (via NY Daily News), Brad said, "This publicity machine is out of control. It's everything we didn't sign up for. There's this whole other entity that you get sucked into. You have to go and sell your wares."

On doing press tours for his projects, Brad added, "Somehow you're not supporting your film if you don't get out on a show and talk about your personal life. It has nothing to do with why I do this."

Oh really? Is that why Brad shot and published those intimate family photos of Angelina and the kids for W magazine last year? And sold Knox and Vivienne's baby photos to a major magazine just two weeks after their birth? I mean, if it was Leonardo Dicaprio making these claims, we'd be inclined to believe him, but there's something a little off here...

Is Brad really anti-fame, or is he just a master at manipulating the media? Maybe he really does deserve an Oscar for Best Actor, but for playing the role of Brad Pitt, not Benjamin Button.
