Before They Were Stars: Brad Pitt

Way before Brad Pitt was showing off his sexy body as Achilles in “Troy” and wooing Angelina Jolie, he was in a commercial for Pringles. How cute. You can see that he was pretty young in the commercial spot, but we’re happy that he’s moved on to much bigger and better things.


Here’s Brad Pitt for Pringles, now doesn’t his sexiness make it believable that he actually ate that stuff? We’re just happy that he has no problem taking off his shirt for his art.

I can’t believe some of the transformations this man has gone through for his career. “Troy” was definitely my favorite, though. Can’t imagine why that is. Hint: Hawtness.

The Weekend Box Office Results – 1/04/09

Welcome to 2009! The new year hasn’t really seen much change with the box office results from last week, but needless to say, “Marley & Me” has taken the crown again.

For the second weekend in a row, Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson, along with that adorable dog, are bringing in the payola. Have you seen it yet? See the trailer here.


The box office this weekend pretty much shows us that there were no newer movies put out to give “Marley & Me” any competition. With nothing out to rival the top five, it’s no wonder that absolutely nothing changed.

Bedtime Stories” again took second place with an $8 million drop from last weekend. This is also a movie that I plan on seeing. I love all things Adam Sandler, so this is not a “wait for the DVD” movie.

At third place again, is Brad Pitt’s movie, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button“. I started watching this movie and got half-way through. Admittedly, it’s not because it was bad or anything, it was just late. It’s a long movie, but I did like what parts I saw.

Fourth in the lineup, surprisingly, is Tom Cruise’s Nazi flick, “Valkyrie“. Tom’s dedicated promotion of the movie brought out the fans, to the tune of $14 million and change.

Yes Man” rounds out the list of the top five for this past weekend. This is another movie that I’m going to see before it leaves the theaters.

The Weekend Box Office Results – 12/28/08

Jennifer Aniston took the weekend box office crown with her and Owen Wilson’s dog movie, Marley & Me.



Despite having the ending to the movie ruined by vandals, people still came out in droves to watch the doggie mayhem.




The flick stepped all over ex-husband Brad Pitt’s movie, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” this weekend, by ten million. Of the rivalry between the two movies to be released on the same day, Jennifer said to Oprah, “We all want our movie to do well…Can we have a tie?”

And who else, besides me, is surprised 100% by the fact that “Valkyrie” didn’t totally bomb? I mean, people watched a Hitler assassination’s attempt on Christmas? Seems like they’d go together like oil and water.
