Brad Pitt attended the New York City premiere of World War Z on Monday night, and the 49-year-old actor showed off his long blonde locks as he posed for photos on the red carpet.
Brad signed autographs for fans in Times Square, and he chatted with reporters about his family life. "It's just spending time with the people I value," he said when asked how he relates to his character in the zombie film. "I like calling shots on the fly and having faith in myself to make the right decisions. Wisdom comes with age. I like it!"
Angelina Jolie was noticeably absent from the event, but she was on Brad's mind. "She's doing great. Onward and upward," he told USA Today.

In today's bizarre Amanda Bynes news, Wyclef Jean will reportedly produce the retired actress-turned-aspiring-singer's first single.
The troubled starlet and the three-time Grammy winner will meet at a studio tonight to collaborate on her single, RadarOnline reports. "Wyclef is the perfect producer for Amanda's first single, because he isn't only about making records," a source told Radar. "He's a humanitarian and politician, so this will not be a typical album."
Amanda was reportedly offered a record deal by the hip hop label Chinga Chang Records last week.
The source told Radar that the single will be comparable to Wyclef's production of Lil Wayne's "Sweetest Girl." "This is something very special," the source said. "Wyclef is familiar with Amanda's talent and sound, so it only makes sense to have her sit down with someone of his caliber."
Amanda has tweeted repeatedly about her desire to record her own album. "Look forward to seeing me in music videos! I'm getting in shape and getting a nose job! I'm looking forward to a long and wonderful career as a singer/rapper!" she wrote last month.

It looks like Eddie Cibrian had an amazing Father's Day.
LeAnn Rimes got Twitter happy yesterday and posted several photos of herself and hubby Eddie, as well as pics of the duo with her husband's boys (with ex-wife Brandi Glanville), celebrating Father's Day.
She tweeted an intimate photo of her and Eddie smooching along with the caption "I love this man..... He's the big 40, he's amazing, he's my everything and more." Yesterday also marked Eddie's 40th birthday.
The country songstress also posted a pic of their happy family with the message "Happy 40th birthday to my incredible husband and the best father his boys could ever ask for. We all love you baby @EddieCibrian."
LeAnn recently told Entertainment Tonight that she adores Eddie's kids. "My heart overflows with love for those two boys, and also because they're my husband's children, I look at them and they are two little spitting images of my husband," she said. The resemblance truly is uncanny!
The singer seemed to be in good spirits in the pictures, even though her new album Spitfire flopped on the Billboard and iTunes charts.
Take a look at another Twitpic of swimsuit-clad LeAnn and Eddie from earlier that day.

The heiress must be prepping for bikini season!
Paris Hilton and her beau River Viiperi attended a pilates class in Studio City yesterday, and the Simple Life star looked a little exhausted from her toning session when we caught her leaving the studio.
Speaking of studios, Princess P's new pop album for Cash Money Records is almost done! "I'm in the studio and almost finished with the album. They're just finishing up all the paperwork and there will be an announcement soon," she recently told The Daily Beast.
That's not the only project on the blonde beauty's schedule, though!
The reality star just opened her 44th Paris Hilton store, launched her 15th fragrance, and, on top of it all, is set to open a hotel property in Manila next year.

TV chef/Taste judge Nigella Lawson made headlines this morning after photos of her husband, Charles Saatchi, putting his hands around her neck surfaced online.
The two were snapped lunching at Scott’s in the Mayfair district, and according to eyewitnesses, the millionaire ad exec/art collector grabbed his wife's throat FOUR times, first using only his left hand, and then both.
“It was utterly shocking to watch,†one onlooker told the Mirror. “I have no doubt she was scared. It was horrific, Âreally. She was very tearful and was Âconstantly dabbing her eyes. Nigella was very, very upset. She had a real look of fear on her face. No man should do that to a woman. She raised her voice and got angry but at the same time was trying to calm him down, almost like you would try to calm down a child. The kiss was a strange thing. He was being Âintimidating, Âthreatening. And yet she kissed him. She Âappeared to be a woman who loves him but was clearly unable to stop him being abusive, Âfrightening and Âdisrespectful to her.â€
Saatchi stomped off, and the source on the scene added, “He looked guilty. It was clear he knew he’d done something wrong. He was menacing, there’s no Âquestion. She had been abused and Âhumiliated in public.â€
"About a week ago, we were sitting outside a restaurant having an intense debate about the children, and I held Nigella's neck repeatedly while attempting to emphasize my point. There was no grip, it was a playful tiff. The pictures are horrific but give a far more drastic and violent impression of what took place. Nigella's tears were because we both hate arguing, not because she had been hurt. We had made up by the time we were home. The paparazzi were congregated outside our house after the story broke [Sunday] morning, so I told Nigella to take the kids off till the dust settled."

Charlie Sheen and Selma Blair are in desperate need of some anger management.
Charlie has allegedly fired his Anger Management co-star and refuses to shoot with her on set after she badmouthed him to network execs, TMZ reports.
According to TMZ, Selma recently complained to their bosses about Charlie's poor work ethic and constant tardiness. When Charlie got wind of the news, he allegedly fired the actress and told FX to support his decision considering the fact that he's the star of the show and has 40 pages of lines per episode as opposed to Selma's two.
It's unclear whether Charlie has the authority to let the actress go in the first place. However, he's reportedly already pining after another female lead. He wants to hire Mila Kunis for a 10-episode stint at $1 million per episode. We wonder how his Two and a Half Men replacement Ashton Kutcher (Mila's boyfriend) would feel about that.
