Last night was the NYC premiere of Megamind, the new animated film featuring voice work by Will Ferrell, Tina Fey and Brad Pitt. Thus far, Tina and Will have done most of the promotional work for the film, but Brad flew into NYC yesterday to attend the premiere. He didn’t get dressed up or anything – Angelina must have picked out his premiere outfit, because I didn’t know you could get so many shades of black packed into one outfit. My favorite part is the fingerless gloves! Those look badass. Surprisingly, Brad didn’t bring any of the kids to his premiere, although Maddox and Pax did fly into New York with him. NOTE: I was wrong, Madd and Pax did go to the premiere, we just don’t have any photos of them. You can see the boys here, at PopSugar. Brad spoke to Us Weekly on the red carpet:
After spending the last few weeks in Budapest, Brad Pitt returned to the U.S. with sons Maddox, 9, and Pax, nearly 7, Wednesday to attend the NYC premiere of his new movie, Megamind.
“At the end of the day, it’s my kids,” he told UsMagazine.com when asked why he signed on for the toon, out Friday. “I did it for my babies … I’m sneaking the boys in there now!”
In the movie, Pitt, 47, voices Metro Man, the superhero of the film. Asked if he has any real-life super powers, he told Us, “Yeah. I’m a father of six! I mean, I’m a dad and with that comes some super powers. I just thought it would be kinda cool to be in this movie.”
Will his kids like it? “I hope so,” Pitt told Us.
Pitt told Us “everything is great” with his family, most of whom are still in Budapest as Angelina Joie shoots her directorial debut, a Bosnian love story (Pitt told Us she is doing “great” so far).
“We just flew over this morning and then we’re going back really soon,” Pitt told Us.
He told Extra his unconventional family will celebrate an unconventional Thanksgiving this year.
“I’m not really sure where we’ll be for it, but yeah, it’ll be overseas,” he tells Extra. “We’ll whip up a turkey somewhere.”
He said his family is used to traveling around.
“We are like a military mobile unit,” he joked. They recently celebrated Halloween. Said Pitt, “I was sort of a bunny.”
[From Us Weekly]
Not shocking, any of it. They’ll spent Thanksgiving overseas, everyone is doing well, and Brad is concentrating on fatherhood. But I do love that he was “sort of a bunny” for Halloween. There’s no shame in that, Brad! He just wears whatever Empress Zahara picks out for him.
And here is my favorite photo from the premiere – Brad and Tina Fey posing uncomfortably in the same shot, with Ben Stiller photo-bombing them:

i love the ben stiller photo bomb. that is awesome.as for the fingerless leather gloves, they are fabulous. where can i find some?
Tina Fey looks Liz Lemon awkward. I did see photos of Maddox and Pax at Just Jared.
he looks great!! well rested and just a tiny scruff on that beautiful chin.. Tina Fey looks star struck.. but I’m sure they are joking around.. I mean.. Ben Stiller and Tina Fey.. just sayin’!!
brad pitt is deeelish!!
I am loving the fingerless gloves. OMG that picture of Tina, Brad, and Ben is hella awkward. Yeesh. He looks good.
what is he wearing?? I’m sorry but in the real life world where I live women don’t go bezerk over guys that wear linen girly scarfs and p-coats. Um, if Tina Fey is wearing a sleeveless dress I don’t think it’s that cold. I’m over it.
@Roxanne75 I live in NY it is actually cold about 40 degrees last night.
Karl Lagerfeld, AKA Kaiser, wears them (the fingerless gloves) well, too- not quite in the same way, though.
Am I the only one who finds the fingerless leather gloves creepy and sad? I just don’t get the appeal of Brad, he’s so bland and he tries way too hard.
Tina Fey is a legend and I love her hair like that.
Brad looks HOTTT!!! I like his outfit.
The words Brad Pitt & Megamind in the same sentence is hilarious.
WTF is up with those gloves? They’re laughably tragic.
@Janine- No you are not. I think they are ridiculous. I am sure I wear things others find ridiculous too.
Brad has Leann Rimes eyes these days.
Brad actually looks good to me here. Younger too. I think Angelina should impose a ban on him answering any more questions with: I’m a father of six.
He looks f’n terrible. And why is he so squinty?
glad I’m not the only one who thinks the fingerless gloves look silly.
what’s the point of them? to “look cool”?
I guess I’m just much more about function than fashion, and the gloves seem to be kind of “functionless”.
Fingerless gloves rule. In knitting world, almost all the “hand” patterns are fingerless glove, so they’re the rage for knitters, anyway. I live in Seattle, and they’re nice for the not quite freezing range. They keep your hands warm, and most of your fingers, but you still have dexterity.
So are Brad and Tina broken up or something? I guess Will is holding out for the LA premier….
I personally love fingerless gloves but alot of people think they are lame. He definitely has the european man in a coffee shop look going on.
I’m on ‘Team Ridiculous Gloves.’ And annoyed that he chose to show up to a premiere looking like he’s been sleeping in the street–what is up with the wrinkled jacket and fly undone/in disarray? Together with the squinty eyes and the weird grimace-smile he’s been sporting for the last few years, it’s a little odd. You’re a father of six, you’re jet-lagged, I get it, but you’re a multi-millionaire movie star. Make an effort!
Shocked that there are no where’s Angelina or they brokeup comments like there usually are when they aren’t together for 5 seconds.
Ben Stiller is a producer, not a photo-bomber.
…the hell?
Fey is dressed for a completely different climate than Pitt. He needs to come in close and keep her arms warm…
And what’s with the awkward? Did I miss some “Angelina to Brad: ‘STAY AWAY FROM FEY!'” stories?
Im so happy for Brad,, he had waited so long, and you can just tell he is so proud and happy to be a dad,,He seems to really love family life..
He looks like he has to carry his own grocery bags home and needs those gloves so the bag handles don’t cut into his palms. Ow! He’s not suffering at all! He’s not on a limited budget. But then I can’t imagine what Brad Pitt SHOULD be wearing. Maybe someone should buy him a varsity hoodie and some Adidas capris. That would make a GREAT photo of Brad Pitt and I would really enjoy seeing that. Maybe pair that with Reeboks and a Yankee ball cap.
Look at ol’ Ben Stiller in the shadows. Is he hiding his superior good looks? What a night elf!
I am surprised by the fingerless gloves topic. Do you guys just hate them on the red carpet or just in general because I know a lot of bikers find them useful, rock climbers, and yes they have been used as a fashion statement.

Him and Will for the most part have on the same thing, but no comment on how he looks huh.
Smokers of all kinds love them some fingerless gloves-just sayin’
Love Angelina- I am not a biker nor a rock climber, so they are of no use to me. I do think they are stupid as a fashion statement .
@Moreaces,
The difference between Pitt and the others (besides the gloves) is grooming. Since Pitt didn’t care to change into clean/pressed clothes, he probably didn’t bother to shower either. That, with, the aroma of, er cigarette smoke, could have encouraged Fey to keep her distance. Though I’m sure the “Raging Jolie is jealous of Fey” headlines are on the presses as we comment *eye roll*
LoveAngelina: No, I don’t think the gloves look silly on rock climbers and other athletes — they serve a specific purpose in those instances. But fingerless gloves on the red carpet — on a 40-something year old man, no less — look ridiculous (in my opinion).
Those gloves look ridiculous! I cant take this guy seriously, he looks Howdy Doodyish to me and such a poser.
Tina Fey looks good here.
I don’t feel one way or the other about the gloves but I think it’s nice he took the boys to the premiere. I’m sure they enjoyed the movie.
Awwww Devilgirl and majosha I think they are so hawt. They make you you look edgy when you wear them for fashion. They are also made in a variety of fabrics like lace, I am pretty sure Madonna rocked them in black lace in the 80s. I love that in fashion as well when things you normally wouldn’t see in fashion become fashionable. Its cool but I understand where you coming from, not everybody has the same love for certain fashion trends.
Can’t he close his mouth in that one picture?
He seems to buy into his own hype and believes he’s too good to dress nicely for the premiere of a kid’s movie. urghhh!
He just doesn’t do it for me and Angelina can do way better!
Cool man..
@Sigh.:
Aniston was guest star on 30 Rock…
Fey has made some jokes about Jolie and comments about her trying too hard to be sexy…
maybe this is the reason of “the awkward”…
Very interesting so Usweekly claimed they had insider info on the family’s halloween attire yet they didn’t mention that Brad was a “Bunny”.As I stated before although the Us Weekly article was cute it was probably a lie. Since BP being a bunny would have been the story not( Zahara dressing as a fairy and Maddox in all black-very predictable). I agree with others I hate the gloves looks like something Johnny Weir would wear.
Aaaaahhhhhhh fingerless glove-gate. What would so many posters here have to gripe about if they didnt have fingerless glove-gate. Carry on.
These comments are hilarious!! Nobody likes his GLOVES?? Is that all you people can complain about? I mean, I know you need something to complain about when it comes to Pitt and Jolie but GLOVES?? Come on people!! You all sound ridiculous. Or, are you just disappointed that one of the rags said that Angelina didn’t allow Brad to take the boys to the premiere and here they are actually at the premiere? So funny!!
And, I suppose nobody noticed that Will Farrell showed up at the L.A. premiere in a jogging outfit. No? Yes? Oh, nobody cares about Farrell, right?
You haters are sooo predictable . . . and boring!!
As he gets older he resembles Benicio Del Toro
He has always gone through bearded and unkempt phases but when he was younger he was hotter surprise,surprise he is almost 50 now and not as hot.
I think he has decided not to do as much press because he is sick of being a hearthrob 2 decades into his career and sick of the press junket which is why he was barely involved in promoting this movie and also refused to talk to the press at the SALT opening. I did see raw video of this red carpet and the media basically descended upon him I think the uncomfortable stares from Fey and Stiller may be more about how desparate the reporters are to talk to him and all the pathetic questions he is getting shouted at I mean people are literally throwing their kids at him trying to get his attention and get him to speak in Spanish it’s a little over the top.
MsLewis: This is a gossip site, not CNN. We bitch about fashion mishaps all the time. Oh wait, scratch that. You’re right, I’m devastated that the rags claimed Brad was attending the premiere by himself, and then he goes and arrives with his kids. I’m going to lose hours of sleep over that one. I feel so used.
Ps: It’s spelled “Ferrell.”
Edit: LoveAngelina, thank you for seeing the glove thing for what it is: just a personal preference, not an attack on Brad, himself.
Nice to see the Jolie-Pitt defenders out in full force. I’m sure the Jolie-Pitts will be creeped out.
Some people hate the gloves….doesnt matter whose wearing them.
Ps: It’s spelled “Ferrell.”
————————————————–
I don’t give a sh!t how it’s spelled!! And I know this is a gossip site. My point is . . . you all sound ridiculous!!
MsLewis: Actually, you’re the one who sounds ridiculous. So what if some of us don’t like the gloves? How is such a small thing worthy of so much vitriol?
Am I completely lost or are we all still commenting on a gossip website? One which regularly asks for opinions on fashion? Or are we meant to discuss string theory vs quantum mechanics?
Some of you people take this whole ‘defence of the Brange’ thing way too seriously. What would you say if it was Tom Cruise wearing those try-hard gloves? If it was anyone other Mr. Jolie you’d be laughing along with the rest of us, because objectively, fingerless leather gloves on a 47 year old father of 6 look silly. Like when you’re dad tries to rap along to Eminem in the car.
Also there are no pictures of Will Ferrell shown, so why would anyone mention what he’s wearing.
mslewis, how come we’re not “ridiculous” when we comment on OTHER celeb’s fashion choices?
seriously, almost every celebrity on this site gets bashed or praised for their fashion choices…it’s part of what’s done on here. There is currently a post about Madonna’s fashion, and there’s at least one story about someone’s outfit (along the lines of “cute or trying to hard”) daily.
how come you don’t get bent out of shape on those posts, too?
I can only speak for myself I have not one problem with people who don’t like the fingerless gloves and I don’t take it as an attack on the Brange . I personally make comments because I am bored,procrastinating and have fun debating. I think that people on both sides are over the top on the Brange which is why I enjoy commenting the most on their topics. I would call myself a ‘sane loon’ who thinks it is kind of hilarious all the opinions that the smallest things they do can incite on people. No matter what you think of them you have to admit they can cause a debate by doing almost nothing.
Good grief, BP looks AWFUL. I am just waiting for him to develop a big nasty beer gut, because you just know that is the next thing to come after you give up on grooming and personal hygiene.
I’m always soooo amused when posters here, who bash celebs, get all bent out of shape when other posters bash the bashers. LMFAO!
I mean, can you imagine how pretzel-twisted youd get if we actually could see you, like we all can see the celebs you bash? Jeez! talk about thin-skinned. just take your licks, lap your tail and move on! How hard is that?
The fact that there’re celebs who are bashed and they have no fans here to ‘defend’ them is hardly of any concern to JP fans who are indeed ALL OVER THE NET taking it to you cowards who vegetate in front of your computers, feeding your faces and trashing the JPs. Whats it to you if we feel like ‘defending’ them and giving you a taste of your own medicine? Just suck it up.
If you cant take it then dont do it. Otherwise shut the h3ll up.
Oh I see Brad and the boys flew in from Budapest a couple of hours before the premiere so I guess he wore that outfit on the flight over. Despite the wrinkled jacket he is still hot IMO.
I love Tina Fey’s little dress.
@Shi-gatsu,
I agree completely agree with you, I never thought that Angelina would go for a man like this, so bland with no personality.
PS the gloves are awful, not for him. They would look nice on someone else though.
I love brad pitt n angelina Jolie and I myself don’t see the big holla folks r making about the gloves which I think r hotter but n e who…brad STILL looks good at whatever age he is at least he hasn’t nor has angie gone down the plastic brick faced road and r good parents and have real love and admiration for eachother and their multi cultural fam!! #TeamBradnAngie
I see he took special care in his appearance for this premiere…..
He looks good; content and happy with his life and I for one find that very appealing. And he’s still hot too!
mln, you are so right, they do stir up the comments section! Unfortunately, I usually avoid these posts because they become a real freak show, and I’m just here for a bit of casual dish!
Anyway, ‘AWHODAT’ is some kind of troll right? Nobody could seriously be that unhinged, angry and delusional….
@MsLewis- I comment on all celebrities poor fashion choices, so calm down. His gloves are stupid. If Jon Hamm, Gerard Butler, Askars, Jeremy Renner wore them, they would be stupid too.
“Anyway, ‘AWHODAT’ is some kind of troll right? Nobody could seriously be that unhinged, angry and delusional….”
@Janine: I sincerely hope so. We were just talking about gloves, ffs, and this person is going on like the fate of the world hangs in the balance. But I’ve seen JP fans go apesh*t over less, so who knows?
@Janine: Yup. AWHODAT is our own special not so little ‘roid rage troll under the bridge. Best to ignore.
@Devilgirl Jon Hamm could bring the hotness out of those fingerless gloves and you know it (LOL).
Brad looks great, love his outfit (I’m a fan of all black hehe). If anyone could get away with wearing those gloves its him 😆 .
And yes if that Hamm guy or Spittle Butler wore them, of course they would look ridiculous LOL.
Tina looks lovely too, I love her hair.
The Brad and Angelina threads have been getting really weird lately. Fingerless gloves seem pointless to me but some of the comments act like this is the biggest fashion disaster of all time. I’m not sure why people are in such a rage over Mslewis’ comment. I think some of the comments are ridiculous too. I don’t know what it is about Brad and Angelina makes people feel such rage and takes things so personally.
Hmmmm. Brad be looking fine these days.
BethL, Zahara.
Bwahahaha! Brad’s eye—->smoked out about 5 min before pics taken.
How about that pic Gawker has up of StAngeCrow? She looks about 3 days away from a stay at the local hospital for IV nutrition. Gotta love H’wood peeps. They all be crazy.
The only “ragers” on here are mslewis and awhodat. Everyone else is just stating their opinion.
Well I do not see what the big deal is with a few of us commenting that we hate fingerless gloves? I think the people jumping to the conclusion that because Pitt wore them, we hate them. That is not the case. I had no comment on the premiere, as it is not a movie I will be going to see, until it makes it’s way to HBO. So I commented about his stupid gloves. My ex-boyfriend wore a pair once when we went to a club opening, and I laughed at him all night until he chucked them in the trash.
No one takes exception when we comment on others clothing, so why is it a big deal because we comment on Pitt’s?
I hate fingerless gloves. End of story. Sorry if it offends some of you. I also hate Emerald green, giant faced watches, skinny jeans, rags worn as scarves, hip-hop pants below the butt, Reebok tennis shoes, and Chanel quilted bags.
Yeh, I didn’t see any rage before mslewis and awhodat started freaking the fruck out.
Don’t forget crocs & uggs devilgirl!
GOD he looks like my ex-husband in these pictures. He does that squinty thing just like Brad’s doing here… which, btw, his eyes are clear, I don’t think he was smoking just before the carpet, my ex doesn’t smoke and his eyes do the same thing now that we’re older.
It was awesome when he looked like Pitt from Legends of the Fall, *sigh*, of course we were married then. Him looking like Pitt now, not quite as brag-worthy!
@Beth- HOW COULD I FOGET CROCS AND UGGS! Really hate those too. I always comment on how smelly Brit’s UGGS must be, and I died of laughter when Steven Tyler, a rock legend, was sporting CROCS!!!!!!
Even as his worst, he still looks pretty good. It’s obvious he isn’t trying so hard anymore. Kids do that to you.
I’m with Kiki. Jeez, the guy is going on 47 and has six kids, you expect him to still look like a heart-throb? He’s probably sick and tired of having to live up to all that “sexiest-man-alive” bullshit. At least he took those damn beads out of his beard.
Fingerless gloves are as stupid as toeless boots. Don’t care who’s wearing them.
WOW!!! Even Tina Fey has fallen privy to the filler/botox machine of Hollywood. Her face looks plastic! Love Will, Brad is ok, Tina BLAH. Wish they picked another female for this lead.
Military mobile unit??? Thats the stupidest things ive ever heard someone say.
Has he ever asked the kids do you want to be mobile unit or stability with same school, friends, etc??? I can guarantee which ANY child would prefer.
Brand and Angelina have adopted which is great but they are selfish in how they raise those children moving them around so much. Brad knows this, He grew up with stability so he can say it doesnt bother him but we know he would rather those kids have main home/stability.
“He grew up with stability so he can say it doesnt bother him but we know he would rather those kids have main home/stability.”
Oh good! Another celebrity mind reader.
“Jeez, the guy is going on 47 and has six kids, you expect him to still look like a heart-throb?”
Only if he expects to keep working as one I guess.
What world does some of these people live in finger less gloves? Bikers wear them, mechanics, truckers keeps your fingers from sweating and give the hand more dexterity for holdng and grabbing things, perhaps small children hands, my husand is a mechanic and have worn them for years shocking to hear the comments.
mylie1313- Well your husband is a mechanic, there is a purpose in him wearing them. Does he wear them to go out to dinner? I don’t think anyone has a problem with people who have a purpose for them, wearing them.
Oh, I also hate fake eyelashes, paisley, men wearing mock turtlenecks, gladiator sandals, white pants and socks with sandals.
devilgirl, you’re cracking me up. so far I’ve agreed with all of your dislikes!
@mylie: If you’d actually READ the comments, it’s clear we were referring to the gloves as fashion accessories, not rallying against their use under any and all circumstances. And as devilgirl asked, does your husband wear fingerless gloves to the movies? Parties? Out on the town with you and/or his buddies?
@devilgirl: Can I add men in tank tops, jean shorts, and guys who flat iron their hair to your list?
I agree Cheyenne. And who says he’s trying to be the sexiest man alive? He’s obviously moved past that phase when he had that weird beard. People just need a reason to pick on him. It’s funny that the same people who criticize Pitt will be the same people calling anyone who criticizes Jen Aniston a hater, rabid, etc. The same exact people. It’s so funny. 🙂
Okay are we listing pet peeves? Well, here’s mine:
MUFFIN TOPS!!!
Jesus please us, I can’t stand seeing people walking around looking like the Michelin Man. Get some jeans that fit. Guts and love handles bulging out over the top of your jeans is just gross.
@devilgirl: Whoever invented Crocs must have been stoned on crack.
@Majosha: Gold chains tangled in hairy chests. *barf*
Seriously? People don’t understand the function of fingerless gloves? I live in a city. I walk a lot. I cannot operate my cell phone with gloves. I cannot get coins out with gloves. I cannot get my Metro card or ATM card out of my wallet with gloves. I cannot do a lot of things unless I take my gloves off and risk losing them as I am wont to do.
It’s always something to pick at. Yet it’s those who are clueless about a world outside their own who WE should be picking at. They make this world a lot more intolerant and thus harder to live in.
And it is not a fashion statement. It is a utility. Especially for someone in the cold (NYC night time Nov 3) who is planning to sign autographs. You’d think this was brain surgery.
devilgirl, I’ll see your quilted chanel purse and mock turtleneck, and raise you monogrammed louis vuittons, leg warmers, jodhpurs as trousers, bangs on anyone over 30, spaghetti straps, stonewash jeans, and fake tan.
And finally- fugly, pointless, fingerless gloves!
Cheyenne- Crocs are the work of the devil!
Beth- SPRAY TANS! Also the devil’s work!
@Cheyenne: I don’t think I can top the gold chain/hairy chest combo — you definitely got me there, LOL. Yuck!
Lolo, You are so right, they are such hypocrites. If you look back at JA threads they really go on the attack also but don’t like it pointed out.
I just get a kick out of everyone making a huge deal of Brad this or Brad that. Nothing about the others who made the movie as well. He really outshines his castmates regardless what he’s wearing.
How can Ben be photobombing when he’s in the movie?
I love Crocs. 🙁
@teri: “I just get a kick out of everyone making a huge deal of Brad this or Brad that. Nothing about the others who made the movie as well. He really outshines his castmates regardless what he’s wearing.”
I guess you need it spelled out for you then? He out FUGGED his cast mates (that would be the opposite of shine just for future reference). Everyone else goes along dressing appropriately for occasions and at least *look* like they bathed. Hence they don’t get a lot of comments.
Love Brad! i like that he showed up at the premiere. i hope the movie does great. nice of him to bring the boys. Brad can wear whatever he wants. and so can all y’all who hate fingerless gloves. he knows why he wanted to wear ’em.
A powerful share, I simply given this onto a colleague who was doing somewhat similar analysis on this. He actually purchased me breakfast because I discovered it for him.. smile.
