Brad Pitt Breaks From Award Season to Talk Marriage, Family, and Smoking Grass

Lauren Turner — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 13:27:53 PST

Brad Pitt's baby blues are front and center on the cover of the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter. He just received a best actor Oscar nomination for Moneyball, which is also up for best picture alongside his Tree of Life. First, though, he'll hit the red carpet at this weekend's Screen Actors Guild Awards, where he's in the running for best actor. Brad took a break from award season, which has already garnered him a New York Film Critics Circle statue, to talk to the publication about family, a rough patch in his life, and the real story behind the cane. Here's more from Brad Pitt in The Hollywood Reporter:

On smoking weed: "I got really sick of myself at the end of the 1990s: I was hiding out from the celebrity thing; I was smoking way too much dope; I was sitting on the couch and just turning into a doughnut; and I really got irritated with myself. But that feeling of unease was growing and one night I just said, ‘This is a waste.’ I just quit. I stopped grass then - I mean, pretty much - and decided to get off the couch."
On marrying Angelina: "We’d actually like to, and it seems to mean more and more to our kids. We made this declaration some time ago that we weren’t going to do it till everyone can. But I don’t think we’ll be able to hold out. It means so much to my kids, and they ask a lot. And it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment. I’m not going to go any further, but to be in love with someone and be raising a family with someone and want to make that commitment and not be able to is ludicrous, just ludicrous."
On his leg injury: "I was just walking in our backyard, on a hill, carrying my daughter, and I slipped - and it was those parental instincts: me or her. And she’s fine."

Angelina Jolie Talks Being "So Not Cool" to Her Kids in THR

Lauren Turner — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 17:10:02 PST

Angelina Jolie shares the cover of The Hollywood Reporter with Jennifer Yuh Nelson for the current issue, which highlights female directors. Angelina got behind the camera for her first project, In the Land of Blood and Honey, last year and has lately been busy promoting the war drama ahead of its holiday release in a few weeks. She took a break to chat with the publication and her Kung Fu Panda director Jennifer about writing her first film, working on animated movies, and family life. Here's more from Angelina in The Hollywood Reporter:

On Kung Fu Panda: "Fortunately, I've scored some points at home because of Kung Fu Panda. They love Tigress, who is my alternate personality. Otherwise, they think Brad [Pitt] and I are just so not cool."
On writing the script from home: "I wrote whenever I could, when the kids were asleep or in their classes. Halfway through some of the most horrific scenes, I'd hear, 'Mommy, I need another story, I can't go to sleep,' and so I'd pause what I was doing and go tell happy stories about bunny villages. They won't see this movie. They know that mommy, on occasion, goes off to Libya or other places. I make them very conscious of the fact that there are a lot of people struggling through different things, and I don't protect them from the fact that war isn't a video game, it's a very, very horrible thing."
On why she loves voicing animation: "I love animation because you get to do things you don't normally get to. For one, I could bring my kids and wear my pajamas, and hang out with Jen. And my character is just so badass. Yes, eating pizza is the hardest stunt we did."

Kate, Kirsten, and More Go Ladylike For The Hollywood Reporter

Brittney Stephens — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 14:35:29 PST

Lots of lovely ladies stepped out for The Hollywood Reporter's annual "Power 100: Women in Entertainment" breakfast in Beverly Hills this morning, showing off sleek, sophisticated frocks - and in the case of Emmy Rossum, a strong, ladylike tailored pantsuit. It seems like being belted at the waist was an overall trend, with Bethenny Frankel, Chelsea Handler, Kate Bosworth, and newcomer Shailene Woodley all sporting sheath dresses that cinched in the middle. Kirsten Dunst kept things coolly casual, putting a spin on a classic navy Burberry trench coat by wearing it as a dress. Want to see all the powerful ladies in their red-carpet finest?

Rachel Zoe Shares on Her "Really Wonderful, Drama-Free" Pregnancy and John Galliano in The Hollywood Reporter

Allie Merriam — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 07:46:15 PST

Rachel Zoe proudly bared her baby bump for a special issue of The Hollywood Reporter. She was so happy with the article that she tweeted, "pinch me - such a beautiful piece!" The superstar stylist, who's expecting a son with her husband Rodger Berman, has been busy prepping for their new arrival with a star-studded baby shower and a stint shopping for his room. However, she's busy as always and just came off a well-regarded job dressing Anne Hathaway at the Oscars. Rachel spoke to the publication about her happiness with her select client list, loving this time in her life but still prepping for the future, and even weighed in on John Galliano's public meltdown and firing. She said:

On the current time in her life: "I can say in all honesty that being pregnant, working with the kind of people I work with and being this businesswoman has been a really wonderful, drama-free time in my life."
On why she went to LA: "To merge the worlds of Hollywood and fashion . . . Because I felt that there was this huge disconnect. I didn’t understand why the most glamorous place in the world wasn’t using the most glamorous clothes . . . Ten years ago, you couldn’t find a fashion photographer or couture anywhere around here. Coming out, I was fascinated by the red carpet and Old Hollywood in particular, so I was like, ‘You’ve gotta mix things up. You need to give some edge, some glamour, take some chances.'"
On John Galliano's comments and firing: "It’s a little insane and super-sad. Anti-Semitism, racism or any prejudice is not something I tolerate. I’ve fired clients because they were anti-Semitic, or anti-everything, except what they were. . . I’ve known John Galliano and his boyfriend for years. I don’t know enough about it to make a clear statement, but if it’s true, it’s tragic."
On her family's future: "I have this visual of me and Rodg living in this amazing house that’s not too big in the south of France, where we go for four months and just sit on the beach and make jewelry. Not to sell, just for fun and therapy. Like literally, take rocks and shells and glue them."

BuzzSugar — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 12:31:50 PST

Speaking of lists today, this morning The Hollywood Reporter held its annual Power 100 breakfast to honor their list of the most powerful women in entertainment. These are some of the industry's heaviest hitters; the Hollywood Reporter names the Power 100 based on "their ability to greenlight content, their position within the company, the number of people who report to them and the amount of money they control." At the top this year is Anne Sweeney, co-chairman of Disney Media Network and president of Disney-ABC Television Group. Oprah came in at No. 8.

Also honored at the breakfast, hosted by Queen Latifah and John Travolta and with 700 invitees, was Jodie Foster, who received the fourth annual Sherry Lansing Leadership Award, "presented to a woman who has been a pioneer or leader in her field" and named after the first woman to head an entertainment studio. In addition, the winners of the Lifetime Movie Network Student Filmmaker Competition were honored. The competition was developed "to encourage and discover the next generation of female filmmakers," which is always something I can get behind.

To check out the top 10 women on the list,

Anne Sweeney, co-chairman, Disney Media Networks; president, Disney-ABC Television Group
Amy Pascal, chairman, Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group; co-chairman, Sony Pictures Entertainment
Nancy Tellem, president, CBS Paramount Network Television Entertainment Group
