Brad Pitt and Matt Damon Join Happy Feet 2?
A dark cloud has hovered over the George Miller sequel Happy Feet 2, ever since the unexpected death of one of the first film’s leading voices, Brittany Murphy. There’s been no word on who will replace the actress for the follow up but according to Movieline two of Hollywood’s biggest leading men have recently signed on.
Apparently, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon will both lend their voices to the animated feature Happy Feet 2. It’s the 3-D sequel to the wildly popular 2006 film, which will once again feature the talents of Robin Williams and Elijah Wood. Warner Bros, the studio behind the film refuses to comment on the casting news, but Movieline’s sources assure us that it’s a done deal. Not only are the actors in the movie, but they reportedly did some voice work earlier this week.
Thanks to Sandra.

BRAD PITT – Despite a recent bushy beard, his penchant for Tom Ford suits and Angelina as the ultimate red carpet accessory, have secured his place on our Best Dressed list. Even in a blush pink suit and cravat, he still looks unflinchingly masculine.
Thanks to Julia Neel.
