Brad Pitt was spotted in the midst of an interview by “Today Show” co-achor Ann Curry

Continuing along with his press run, Brad Pitt was spotted in the midst of an interview by “Today Show” co-achor Ann Curry on Monday afternoon (December 1).

The pair made their way around the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans, taking a break to sit down for the cameras in the midst of reconstruction efforts continuing after the devastation left behind by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

As for his Make It Right rebuilding effort, Pitt’s goal is to construct 150 new homes for residents - having completed six of those residences so far.

“We’ve cracked something here … these houses redefine affordable housing,” says Pitt. “This is a proving ground for a bigger idea that could work globally.”

Talking about how good it feels to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need, the “Fight Club” actor tells, “You have no idea what a high it is for me to see the delight on people’s faces when they see how these homes work. This project is not mine anymore. It’s so beyond me.”

Miley Cyrus: Photographer in the Making

Miley Cyrus: Photographer in the Making
Although Miley Cyrus’s photo shoot in Vanity Fair was extremely controversial, it doesn’t have the young star feeling any kind of regret. She even felt that the photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz inspired her to want to be a photographer.
“Everyone outside of America liked it a little bit more because that’s more like the style, but the States are really conservative,” Cyrus told the UK’s Daily Record.
The Disney actress was originally embarrassed when the photos were published last June and called it “a mistake.” Miley, now 16, was only 15 years old when she appeared in the magazine with a photo of only a blanket wrapped around her chest.
But now the “Hannah Montana” star feels different. “Guess I just had to deal with that and just realize that I got to work with an amazing photographer. She was amazing and so talented and her lighting…I would love to work with her again. But I realize I’m just a kid,” she explained.
Ms Cyrus has even discussed ditching performing so she can have a chance to work behind the camera.“That’s what I want to do with my life. I would love to be a photographer. I want to come to London to study. I hear there are some great art schools here so I would love to do that,” she said.
Additionally, Miley talked about her boy toy, 20 year-old underwear model Justin Gaston. “I’m surrounded by good-looking guys, the models, the actors, this and that, so it ends up not being about that. It ends up being about the personality and the way someone treats you,” Cyrus said.
Commenting about dating Nick Jonas in the past, Miley continued, “Also, being around so many actors, I feel a lot of people treat them really badly. If anyone treats people really sweet, then that’s what’s really appealing.”
And Miley’s parents feel the same way as her. “My parents are really chill with me until I give them a reason not to be!”

Penelope Cruz was front and center at the Official Opening

Stepping out in the Big Apple, Penelope Cruz was front and center at the Official Opening of “A Diamond Is Forever Unbreakable Kiss Mistletoe Installation” in New York City on Monday (December 1).
The daytime event was held at Madison Square Park, with ribbon cutting ceremonies in recognition of the Elton John AIDS Foundation on World AIDS Day.
Meanwhile, in related news, recent rumors claim that the lovely Spanish actress is a bit upset with actor boyfriend Javier Bardem for taking on a new movie role.
A source told press, “Penelope and Javier wanted to take a year off after ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’ to concentrate on their romance and spend some quality time together.”
Unfortunately for Penelope, Javier allegedly couldn’t resist the opportunity to star in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s new film, with the insider adding, “Penelope is really angry because she turned down a few really good roles because she was so committed to their sabbatical.”

Kristen Stewart was spotted Not to put down any of the other actors

In the mood for something low-key and simple, Kristen Stewart was spotted grabbing up lunch at her local Los Angeles grocery store on Monday (December 1).

Steering clear of the upscale lunchspots, the “Twilight” cutie sported a grey hooded sweatshirt and jeans as she picked up a meal from the salad bar.

As previously reported by Gossip Girls, Miss Stewart recently was quite vocally supportive of her studly co-star Robert Pattinson, saying that she couldn’t picture anyone else in his role as Edward.

Of this, Kristen told press, “Not to put down any of the other actors who came in, because they were really good, but everyone came in playing Edward as this perfect, happy-go-lucky guy. But I got hardcore pain from Rob. It was purely just connection.”
