Wasting The Pretty

Brad Pitt doesn't want to be known for his boyish good looks, successful movie career or relationship with Saint Angelina — turns out what he really wants to do is take pictures. No, seriously. He wants to be a professional photographer. W magazine is on board with his childhood fantasy and has decided to allow Brad to shoot Angie and the kids for the November issue.

This is Pitt's inaugural turn creating a cover, although photography has been a longtime hobby of his. Not only did he appear on the March 2007 cover of Interview wielding a camera, Jolie reportedly gave him a Littman 45 single camera as a birthday gift.

Well by all means — if he's photographed holding a camera and was given a fancy one for his birthday, then he must be good.

I thought he wanted to be an architect? Good thing he's an actor so he can do everything for a little while.

Gee, W, I've always wanted to be a professional photographer. I even took a class at the community college, which makes me more qualified than Brad Pitt, so why don't you have me shoot a fucking cover?

So…is W magazine getting these pictures for free because he needs the practice with his shiny, new camera or should People be pissed that they had to come up with millions of dollars for almost the same thing?

He is having the cutest mid life crisis ever. I mean, most men his age with his money would just dump their wives, elope with their 18 year old mistresses, send their kids to boarding school, start ill-advised music careers (I'm looking at you Terrence!) and buy super flashy cars, but leaving his wife for another woman and having 6 children in 3 years? Volunteering? Taking on photography? Take away the crappy hats and he'd be so cool. I also love that he talks about himself like he's 80, but I hope he gets over that.

With these frauds living and having their fraud kids back home in eurasia, is anyone truly interested in any of this junk? I didn't think so.

I'm tiring of celebrity vanity projects. Scarlett Johansson's album was enough for one year.
