More Celebrity Weirdness

These two creep me out almost as much as TomKat does.

Brad Pitt sent an e-mail to the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday saying he was unable to attend because of the "imminent arrival" of his new baby.

Henri Behar, who moderates Cannes' news conferences, read a message from Pitt, who has been in Namibia with his "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" co-star, Angelina Jolie, awaiting the birth of the couple's first child.

"With the imminent arrival of the newest addition to our family, I am unable to join Alejandro, Cate, Gael and the rest of the cast and crew in introducing" his new film, "Babel," the 42-year-old actor said in the message.

"I am tremendously proud of 'Babel' and want to congratulate everyone involved for this great achievement," Pitt said.

In "Babel," directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Pitt plays a husband and father trying to cope with a crisis on vacation in Morocco. Cate Blanchett plays Pitt's wife, and the film also stars Gael Garcia Bernal.

Jolie's children, Maddox and Zahara, have legally had their surname changed to Jolie-Pitt.

And when these two get divorced, unattached or otherwise seperated, are they going to change the children's names back? This chick has a bizarre track record (sorry, Billy Bob still creeps me out). I don't know what kind of mojo she put on him but I'll bet she'll get tired of him and send him packing. Don't get me wrong, I kinda like Angelina. She's a spooky chick. But I think Brad is in over his head. He should have stuck with the sweet, blond girl.
