There’s a story in this week’s Star Magazine that avid hobby photographer Brad Pitt is interested in creating a coffee table book full of famous celebrity twins like Julia Roberts’ nearly four year old twins, Phinnaeus and Hazel. In fact Roberts is said to already be on board with the book and has agreed to let her twins be featured. Again, this story is from Star, so take it for what it is:

Brad Pitt was so please with his shots of Angelina Jolie and their brood of six for the November W magazine cover, he’s planning his next project – a photography book on celebrity twins, a source tells Star. “Having twins inspired Brad to do it,” the source says. “He’s constantly snapping pictures of Knox and Vivienne.” And Brad is enlisting his A-list pals to help. “Julia Roberts is willing to let him shoot Phinnaeus and Hazel… Brad’s calling everyone,” the source says. “If all goes well, the book will be out next year.”

Other celebrity twins who might be considered for the book include Marcia Cross’ one and a half year old daughters, Eden and Savannah, and Jennifer Lopez’ seven month old twins, Max and Emme.

It’s a great idea for a coffee table book and one that’s is like to sell well given the interested in celebrity babies, but whether it’s true or not we’ll have to see.

Now that Paul Newman has passed and has left such an amazing philanthropic legacy with Newman’s Own products I’m wondering if Brad Pitt should start his own line with the proceeds to go to charity. If Brad and/or Angelina started a product in their names it would be sure to fly off the shelves. Brad recently put out a body wash with Kiehls, with the proceeds to go to ecological causes. He could do a lot of good with some additional products either through another company or his own.
