‘God of Carnage’ opening

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took in a night of theater Wednesday, attending the opening of “God of Carnage” at the Ahmanson Theatre.

Hollywood’s hottest couple slipped in a back entrance, avoiding the paparazzi on the red carpet, professional autograph-seekers and throngs of mere mortals milling outside the downtown L.A. theater.

Seated in the center orchestra, Pitt and Jolie kept their eyes squarely focused on each other, seemingly oblivious to the double takes and spinning heads around them (even actress Frances Conroy was spotted sneaking a peek). Jolie and Pitt offered polite acknowledgments when Center Theatre Group artistic director Michael Ritchie and his wife, actress Kate Burton, took their seats next to the pair.

Taken from an interview with producer Jerry Weintraub (Ocean trilogy) about a documentary about the producer, apparently also featuring Brad.

The documentary, “His Way,” which debuts on cable channel HBO on Monday, includes amusing tales from Weintraub about working with Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and John Denver, as well as interviews with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and former President George H.W. Bush.

There’s not an event or anything I’ve done in my career—the shows I did, the movies I did, the shows I produced on Broadway—that I don’t have my handprints all over and take full responsibility for. As Brad [Pitt] said, he does a really big show, he can’t help himself.

Important Artifacts

Small mention from an interview with the writer.

Mottola is penning romantic novel adaptation “Important Artifacts” for Natalie Portman, Paramount and Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment. “It’s a writing-only gig that doesn’t have a director, so I may throw my hat in the ring, and there’s a slight chance Pitt might want to be in it,” he says.

Fashion Execs Share Career Advice and Brad Pitt Gossip

Brad Pitt likes a boatneck.

Lubov Azria, chief creative officer of BCBGMaxAzriaGroup, shared this tidbit when asked to share one of her best moments in her long career in fashion.

“We were going to dress Angelina Jolie and we had a choice of three gowns with us. When we got there, she said she wanted Brad to pick,” she said. With other celebrities, “there’s usually a staff of 10 people who all have an opinion. He was very decisive. He’s an architect and likes geometric things. He chose the dress that everyone thought was backwards, and it was. He likes boatnecks — that’s all she wears.“
