    Could he put any more fillers into his ever growing fatter face?

    • spinner says:

      I think he has reached maximum capacity.
      eeeeew!!!

      • evyn says:

        So, is he too wrinkled or does he have too much ‘filler?’ Which is it?

      • Kim says:

        Poor Spinner she can’t have good day without insulting Brad or Angie.How do you fill about his ex plastic surgery or her fiance hair plugs?

      • Liv says:

        Kim, let’s talk about them when it’s a story about them. I think this one is about Brad, so you can’t deny he messed with his face big time.

    • Cazzie says:

      By fillers, do you mean bread and pasta? 🙂

      • Maggie says:

        That too!Since he appears to be sporting a paunch under that shirt.

      • pwal says:

        He looks like the Tree of Life Brad, except five years older and longer hair.

        Not a bad thing.

      • tracking says:

        Yeah, I think it’s food/ drink bloat too. I don’t see where fillers would be, just a little more jowly from aging and weight. It would be interesting to see how he looks if he gives in to the grey and loses the blond highlights and long hair. Much better probably.

    • DanaK. says:

      So, Pitt is too fat and Jolie is too skinny? Maybe he eats all her food! Lol!

    • teri says:

      It could be all those hotdogs he ate on set. Love Brad and he’s still sexy.

    • Grace says:

      I, on the other hand, think he is stunning.

    • El Kiddo says:

      Lately he’s been looking more and more like a blonde Benicio Del Toro

  2. RHONYC says:

    he’s the dirtier version of Gevalia’s ‘cup-of-Johan’. :mrgreen:

  3. someone says:

    anyone else find alison brie to be obnoxious? i think she’s gorgeous, but i hate her constantly using her boobs and acting so “oh me” for attention. i would love to include her in the group of comedic individuals but she discredits herself by constantly using her body for everything. yeesh

    • lucy2 says:

      I still like her, but every time I see her do a photo shoot like that (which is all the time it seems), it makes me disappointed in her.

      And yes, Jada needs to just stop talking.

  4. andrea says:

    Pudgyface Pitt… I’d still hit it. I’d soak and de-grease it first, but I’d definitely hit it.

  5. Gabby says:

    I feel like I never appreciated how handsome he was when he was younger. Now I watch legend of the falls or meet joe black and I miss sexy brad!

  6. Kate says:

    I think we’re all so used to Brad Pitt looking like he’s 26 that him aging and changing is kind of weird. If he shaved that graying goatee and cut his hair, he’d look a lot better. Especially for someone his age.

    • pwal says:

      The thing is… it’s not weird watching him age. Given how haters have been insisting that he is aging fast because he ‘made the mistake of leaving Jen’ or ‘karma has been visited upon him’ or ‘taking care of all of those damn kids has aged him’, it shouldn’t be shocking that he looks older. After all, time doesn’t stop for anyone, no matter how media outlets spin it for certain celebs. Maybe the weird part is that Brad still hasn’t run to the Just for Men beard dye or got the eye jobs that many have insisted that he needed.

      Make no mistake, the Tristan Brad, Meet Joe Black Brad, and Tyler Durden Brad were gorgeous, but I wouldn’t necessarily kick the Billy Beane Brad out of bed either. And for that matter, I would look at Jackie Cogan Brad too, although not directly because that b!tch was cold-blooded and scary.

      • Emma - the JP Lover says:

        🙂 Well send … and I totally agree with you. I’ve never understood the ‘He looks old!’ posts. Of course he looks older, he’ll be 50-years-old this year. But he looks ‘damn’ good for his age. And I ‘like’ that he’s choosing to age gracefully … ‘carb face’ and all.

        As @The Original G says down stream, he isn’t interested in being an aging Ken doll … and I respect the hell out of that. He knows how good he can look with a little effort, but he seems to SO not have anything to prove to anyone … or the need to try.

      • Camille (TheOriginal) says:

        I completely agree with the above 3 posts. Great comments.

  7. Chicagogurl says:

    Why does Jessica Simpson need another baby shower? Because they are different sexes? Most crap is unisex these days. Serious question….When did it become customary for women to have a baby shower for each baby? Especially when they are this close in age and the woman has money. I understand in some situations – we just went to a baby shower of a friend who had a baby 13 years ago, has since been divorced, remarried and this is her first with her now husband (his first child ever)and they don’t have anything age appropriate BUT another friend just sent me an invitation to her 3rd baby shower (she’s having a girl now after 2 boys) and I think it’s completely ridiculous….I have already given you 2 baby shower presents previously. Buy your own shit.

    • AmyR says:

      Well, if you go by the Emily Post etiquette rules, a shower may be thrown for baby #2 (or 3, or 19), but it’s the mom (or dad) -to-be’s friends who decide to throw a shower, so it’s just supposed to be a gesture of friendship, not an obligation. That being said, I’m not fond of baby showers. I’ll go to a friend’s shower for her first, and bring a gift when I meet any subsequent babies, but I’ll be damned if I have to give up more of my free time for them to coo over onesies for an afternoon.

      • Marigold says:

        Actually, Emily Post says this:

        “It’s fine to have a baby shower for a second or third baby. Immediate family and very close friends are usually included, but otherwise choose guests who did not attend a shower for a previous child.”

        I suppose Jessica might have a whole different set of people to invite but I doubt it.

      • Chicagogurl says:

        AmyR – LOL. on cooing at onesies. Thank you! I just can’t.

        I always send a gift for each shower I’m invited to and can’t attend and I always bring a gift for the baby and another for the parents when I first meet a friend or family members child, but a shower for each kid is too much IMO. Same for wedding, I will try to attend one shower, I’m not coming to multiple. I don’t particuarly dislike or like showers wedding/baby in general. I prefer if they weren’t in the middle of the day or exclude men or make me dress up on the weekend but all that is my personal preference. The worst is when they make the whole day about baby/wedding themed games and demand theme gifts. Uhm didn’t you already register, can ‘t that be enough? This is her 3rd baby shower in 4 years and I was directed to bring a gift based on the time of day and given a time. Why do women do this to each other? Our other friend who just had her 2nd after 13 yrs requested circus themed gifts…i bought her a bathtub and bath set, was I supposed to buy a stuffed monkey in a fez?

      • Alarmjaguar says:

        Maybe I’m alone here, but I like the gift themes. It is fun to see what everyone comes up with — and can be a source of conversation when you have a mixed group of the relatives (often older) and friends (often younger). I’d say lighten up, but I don’t want to sound rude, I just think you should look at it as fun rather than a burden.

    • Esmom says:

      Agree. I was uncomfortable having a wedding shower but had two at other people’s insistence. I put my foot down and refused baby showers. We have the means to buy the gear…and I thought the point of showers was to help those just starting out, who have little means.

      Don’t get me wrong, if you want to celebrate, that’s great. But if you can afford your own house/baby stuff, it’s weird to demand that other people shower you with specifically-selected items.

    • Marigold says:

      I came to ask the same thing. I don’t mind showers but girl just had a baby a year ago. Does all the old stuff she got no longer work? I hope she’s donating or something.

    • HappyMom says:

      I agree. I have 4 kids and only had a shower with my first. I had friends offer to give me showers with my subsequent kids and always refused. With my 4th, friends threw me a surprise brunch and gave me a spa gift certificate-that I definitely appreciated!

    • Eli says:

      Because she CAN!!!

    • audrey says:

      I was raised to see it as tacky/improper to have a shower for your second baby.

      You have one to celebrate entering parenthood. After that, you’re done. You buy what you want yourself for any other kids. People will usually just give small gifts of clothes and stuff when they come meet the baby.

      I could never have a second shower.

      • Chicagogurl says:

        Couldn’t agree more.

      • Becky1 says:

        Agreed! Unless your kids are many years apart people should not have a second (or third, etc.) baby shower.

        However, I dislike baby showers so I’m admittedly not the most objective person. I have no problem buying a gift (if it’s someone I’m close to I would buy one whether the person had a shower or not) but the event itself…uhh. I don’t have children so I really can’t participate in any of the conversations. I usually end up leaving feeling like the childless weirdo. Plus, unless you really like watching people open gifts they’re kind of boring.

      • JenD says:

        I think it’s tacky/improper to throw a shower for yourself. I’ve always thought and been told a family member or friend throws them for you.

      • Marie Antoinette Jr. says:

        JenD, actually only friends are supposed to throw showers. They are not supposed to be thrown by family and certainly not thrown for yourself.
        Jessica is doing this I’m sure to promote a new line of baby clothes! LOL. It’s all business for her all the time, no matter how ditsy she tries to appear. 🙂

  8. amanda says:

    This look does not work for him. If he wants ppl to pay to watch his movies he should clean up and look like a movie star again. We can see gross fat old men for free in our everyday lives tyvm.

  9. Heathers says:

    Don’t kill me, ladies. This dude is looking ROUGH for his age. My father has a good 12 years on him, but he doesn’t look this gray and saggy. Stop smoking, Brad!!! I don’t fault people their age, but I do think there’s a lot of truth to the fact that his style changes whenever he gets a new woman. He’s morphed into a billy bob wannabe. He doesn’t have to look this old and this haggard. It almost seems like it’s on purpose. And to whoever said he’s getting fillers: YES. Most definitely.

    • pwal says:

      BBT have never, ever had that much hair.

    • The Original G says:

      I firmly believe that Brad has no interest in maintaining himself as an aging Ken doll. If he wanted to, he would. It’s obviously not what he values these days.

      • Janet says:

        Thank you. First intelligent comment I’ve read on this thread.

        I think Brad was sick and tired of being identified as some sex object and playing Ken to Aniston’s Barbie. Now he’s saying this is me, take it or leave it. As long as Angie takes it, he doesn’t give a damn who leaves it.

      • spinner says:

        I can believe he doesn’t want to be an aging Ken doll, but to kick personal hygiene & overall appearance to the curb…ummmmm…errrr.

      • Nikita says:

        @Spinner, personal hygiene? So you know him personal? or do you think that just because of his long hair? your very smart honey. You have to understand that he dont care. He should life like he wants to, not like you would like to see him cause your a nobody k?

  10. ShakenNotStirred says:

    I only liked Pitt with long hair 10 years ago. Now it doesn’t suit him. Nor does that facial hair. What has happened to both Jolie and Pitt lately?

    • Kim says:

      They realized that being parents and using their celebrity to helping others and following their passions is more important than tanning on the beach.Brad is designing furniture, producing films.Angie is directing film,UN envoy,designing jewelry. They are in winemaking business. Most important they are raising their kids.I guess that is more important than looking sexy.BTW I thought Angie looked lovely at G8 conference and Brad looked great Sunday at MTV awards w /long hair and wrinkles

      • ShakenNotStirred says:

        What does any of that have to do with their declining appearance? I didn’t need a rundown on what the Jolie-Pitts do. Jeezus some of you Jolie Pitt fans are ridiculous.

      • W says:

        Well, there is this thing called aging and if you’re lucky it will happen to you too.

  11. lisa2 says:

    I love Brad and am so excited for WWZ.. the early reactions from the screenings have been very positive.

  12. bohemia says:

    He looks like Leonardo dicarprio … maybe it’s a weird blonde causcasian male aging thing…lol. i still wanna meet him tho…:-)

  13. Mew says:

    World War Z makes me always think of WarZ, a rip-off video game with hugely negative rep. I try my best to remember the movie has nothing to do with it but somehow that negativity just kind of leaks..

  14. Caribbean says:

    When people talk about how others look years ago, they might want to look in the mirror before commenting.
    I do not look like I did 5 years ago much less 20 years ago.
    I think that is why you see so many tv and movie people doing such damage to themselves because they want to look how they think the public expects them to look
    BTW, he is a very good looking man…if you don’t believe ask people who have MET him!!! eg Selena

    • Laurie says:

      I completely agree with you! I get so annoyed when I see these “stars who lost their looks” articles when they show some celebrity at their peak in their 20’s, then show them at 40+ and claim they “lost their looks.”. They didn’t lose their looks, they were involuntarily taken away by time. I don’t begrudge a person getting a little something done if it makes them happy, but show me a man or woman who embraces their aging face and body… You just can’t buy that kind of sexy confidence. Brad still looks hot to me, but I honestly do think he looks a little dirty and grubby.

    • Becky1 says:

      Agreed! It’s completely unrealistic to expect people who are 40+ to look the same as they did in their 20’s. For the most part I take care of myself and I think I look okay at 40 but I certainly don’t look like I did in my 20’s or early to mid 30’s. Aging in inevitable and even if you are a celebrity and have tons of money past a certain point nothing you can do will make you look 25 again.

  15. Agitation says:

    I never found Brad Pitt remotely attractive.

    On that note, this movie irks me for turning into yet another plot-less blockbuster with no relation whatsoever to the source material. *grumbles in incoherent rage*

  16. Moi says:

    I think Brad looks good for his age. He’s 50 right? I also agree that I doubt his looks are that big of a deal for him anymore. More important things to worry about. I’m also feeling a bit of food and wine bloat right now. I understand Brad, I understand.

    • Laurie says:

      It’s tragic: men can age and still be totally smokin’ hot (hello, Clooney!) but women, with rare exceptions …not so much. For me, the nice thing about being almost 50 is that I can finally afford to walk into a store and pay any price for any beauty product designed to make me look younger. The bad thing about being almost 50 is that the shit doesn’t work and I still look 50 no matter how much crap I smear on my face. But the another nice thing about being almost 50 is that I’m wise enough to know that crap doesn’t work, so I just hightail it over to the handbag department instead. 🙂

  17. DesertPoppy says:

    Jada definitely needs to stop talking about this. I read the link and the language she uses sounds like an open marriage. And I keep thinking if it weren’t true she would say so since this gossip seems to bother her. If she wanted privacy she it would be best if she didn’t comment at all, I think the rumors are bothering her.

  18. Laurie says:

    Speaking as someone who’s Brad’s age (ouch, big ouch), I get the “fat face”. I heard the adage when I was in my 20’s and now that I am creeping up on 50 (did I mention ‘ouch’?) it turns out to be true: you have to choose between weight and wrinkles (or, truly, just find a balance you can live with). The skinnier you are, the more prominent the wrinkles. Put on a few pounds and the extra fat pushes the wrinkles out (obviously there are naturally skinny exceptions). I think if Brad lost weight, he’d look gross and wrinkly (like Matthew McConaughey did for that recent movie roll). Of course, I’m not suggesting that Brad smooth himself out by going full Val Kilmer, but maybe he could get a haircut and take a bath?

  19. emma says:

    .. running away from Aniston, hiding under a table from Pitt.. Selena Gomez needs to pull her sh*t together.

  20. W says:

    Where are all of those 50 year olds that look “younger and better” than Brad Pitt!? lol I don’t think people go out much these days because Brad looks great for his age.

    • Shhh! says:

      What do you mean by for his age? He either looks great or he doesn’t.

      • W says:

        That sounds lovely and all, but it’s not how it works.

        If he was 20 and looked the way he does now, he would look old.
        He looks great for his age. In fact, I think he looks younger than his age and always have.
        When he was 40 he looked 30. I’ve seen a video of him when he was 27 and he looked 17-18.
        And compared to other men his age, he looks frickin’ fantastic.
        Most people don’t age well. Youth can hide a lot of flaws but he has always been attractive with a great bone structure. Same with Johnny Depp.

  21. Taylor says:

    He would look a lot better if he lost the 90s grunge style. He should cut his hair at least. I mean he just looks like an ageing rocker with the hair. Both him and Johnny Depp are stuck with some look they had when they were younger.

  22. Original A says:

    I don’t think it’s fillers. The weight makes his lines less noticeable, which may be why everyone jumps on the fillers bandwagon. He’s probably just not eating very well (hence the bloating) and he’s likely just one of those people who gain weight in their face. Some people gain weight all over, some in their stomach, some in their legs, and Brad’s weight gain seems to be reflected in his chest/stomach and face. He’ll probably shed it by the time promotions for World War Z come around.

  23. mercy says:

    A day late, but yes, his face looks different from last year. Some of it can be attributed to weight gain. He’s not heavy by any means, but he’s not the hard body, with very low percentage of body fat, that he has been for most of his career. If a person tends to gain in the face, any increase in body fat will make their face look fuller. But it doesn’t usually plump up specific areas, like his missing furrowed brow. It looks like he’s ‘toxing, which is a shame because he wore his wrinkles well.

  24. Alina says:

    That hair…ughhh. cut it!!!!
