BFFs Brad vs George? I LOVE it when Brad Pitt and George Clooney are together in a bro down situation. It’s been a while. George is allergic to commitment and children.

Baby and Bump Obsession Brange wins at Cannes Well, Terrence Malick won at Cannes. But there were so many headlines after the Palme d’Or was announced on Sunday that “Brad Pitt’s film The Tree of Life wins the Palme d’Or” you’d think it was actually his vision. Money? Maybe.

Quiveration Jon Hamm is happy No idea why Jon Hamm is in such a great mood here, whistling in his sunglasses, looking SO handsome, but he was leaving the bank on Saturday so maybe he liked his bank balance?
