Here are some new photos of Brad Pitt leaving Mastros steakhouse in Los Angeles last night. I don’t know what he was doing there. Eating, perhaps? Maybe it was a business dinner? Or maybe he was meeting up with Jennifer Aniston to discuss her pregnancy and whether or not he would – AT LONG LAST – leave Angelina Jolie for Aniston is her heartbroken time of need. Probably just having dinner.

Should we even discuss Brad’s scruff at this point? Clearly, he doesn’t really give a crap about what we think of his scruff. And I’ll give him some credit – what’s going on here is better than the gnarly goat beard he had a while back. I realize that Brad’s current instinct is to tamp down his pretty at all costs, but I find it disrespectful when he doesn’t even shave for big awards shows. So… the scruff is fine in these photos – but if and when he gets nominated for another Oscar, he needs to shave that crap.

By the way, have you heard this completely odd and tragic story about a murder tangentially connected to Brad and Angelina? According to LA media outlets, police found a human head and a severed hand on a hiking trail just below the Hollywood sign, near Bronson Canyon Park, which is Brad and Angelina’s Hollywood neighborhood. The police canvassed the area, looking for eyewitnesses, clues and anything else, and they ended up talking to Brad’s bodyguard. That’s it – the bodyguard was one of dozens of people questioned. So, you know what that means – “Brad Pitt and his bodyguard questioned over missing woman, police suspect Angelina Jolie!” Crime gossip is remarkably similar to celebrity gossip.
