The stars came out big  for Day 3 (yesterday) of Clinton’s Global Initiative where Ben Stiller was Master of Ceremonies and Quincy Jones (among others) was honoured.  Lisa Ling, Usher and Demi Moore presented recipients with awards and Alicia Keys entertained.

Brad Pitt was also honoured by the U.S. Green Building Council because he had created the “largest and greenest single-family community in the world” with his Make It Right foundation.  Brad Pitt said:

“Make It Right has exceeded my expectations. Our criteria from the beginning were at odds, to say the least. We demanded that these homes be sustainable, that they have aesthetic qualities … that they be storm resilient and take safety in mind of the families who live there and that they would be affordable.

“If we had not been so blissfully naive to the potential, we would not be experiencing what we are seeing today and that is the unquantifiable joy of families returning home to the 9th Ward and returning home to something that was better than before. What the team has done here is not so exceptional. All we did was put the right people together and answer the problems as they came along and that is why we’re here today.”

Also on hand yesterday were Barbra Streisand, Jessica Alba, Bono, Ricky Martin, Mira Sorvino, and Julia Ormond.

Matt Damon tells David Letterman the story behind the gay reporter in Venice stripping for George Clooney and declaring his love for him.  Brad Pitt started it! 

Rachel MacAdams looks so lovely as she attends the New York premiere of ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’ along with costar and hottie man Eric Bana, his wife Rebecca Gleeson, and Ron Livingston. 

Being an executive producer on the movie, Brad Pitt also made an appearance (looking like a young Colonel Saunders of KFC) and can be seen enjoying himself at the afterparty.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie pose at the Los Angeles Premiere of Inglorious Basterds last night looking lovey dovey as usual.  This leather look is not typical of what Angelina Jolie normally wears, and it looks great on her.

• Sidney Poitier
• Samuel L. Jackson
• Sarah Silverman
• Carla Gugino

Brad Pitt sits down with Parade Magazine and talks about love, marriage, drugs and what keeps him up at night.

Wanting what’s best for his children.
 ”Would it bother me if a child of mine turns out to be gay? No, not one bit. Listen, I want my kids to live the lives they want to live. I want them to be fulfilled. I hope I teach my kids to be who they really are.”

Why he won’t marry Angelina Jolie.
“I have love in my life, a soul mate–absolutely. When someone asked me why Angie and I don’t get married, I replied, ‘Maybe we’ll get married when it’s legal for everyone else.’ I stand by that, although I took a lot of flak for saying it–hate mail from religious groups. I believe everyone should have the same rights. They say gay marriage ruins families and hurts kids. Well, I’ve had the privilege of seeing my gay friends being parents and watching their kids grow up in a loving environment.”

The right to love.
“Man, I resent people telling others how to live! It drives me mental! Just the other night, I heard this TV reverend say that Angie and I were setting a bad example because we were living out of wedlock, and people should not be duped by us! It made me laugh. What damn right does anyone have to tell someone else how to live if they’re not hurting anyone? How many times do you think real love comes to someone in a lifetime? If you’re lucky, maybe two or three.”

You may or may not have seen Brad Pitt’s commercial for Softbank Telephone in Japan (I’ve included it in case you haven’t).  Here is his latest billboard advertisement seen in Tokyo for the company as well.

Brad Pitt arrives at LAX from an Air France flight after premiering ‘Inglorious Basterds’ in Berlin, Germany earlier in the week. 

I’ve included some pictures from the afterparty of that premiere because I forgot to the other day, and also because his butt looks pretty good in some of the pictures.  Enjoy!

Brad Pitt looks comfy casual at the photocall in Berlin for Inglorious Basterds and then cleans up real nice at the premiere along with his costar Diane Kruger.  Diane, by the way, looks gorgeous at the premiere.

I don’t see one picture of Angelina Jolie so I’m assuming she did not attend with him.  However, given the movie opens August 21 and it is only July 28, perhaps she will be appearing at future premieres?
