Did Pitt Throw a Hissy Fit?

Posted Feb 5th 2008 5:00PM by TMZ Staff

Tom Cruise was the first to get the new Ducati Desmosedici RR motorcycle and Brad Pitt threw a tantrum, at least according to e-mails obtained by TMZ.
Ducati and Pitt
The e-mails, sent by a UPS exec to various freight terminals, instructed that all shipments of the bike be stopped immediately until Brad got his delivered. The first e-mail says the delay "has something to do with Brad Pitt not receiving his first." A second says, "Please be sure and DO NOT DELIVER THESE BIKES UNTIL NEXT TUESDAY. We wouldn't want to upset Brad Pitt."

A UPS source claims the shipping freeze ticked off Denzel Washington and Michael Jordan, both of whom allegedly complained. MJ's rep had no comment, while Denzel's didn't get back to us.

Reps for both Brad and Ducati say it's not true -- that Brad never ordered the bike and was never supposed to receive one. We contacted UPS, but rather than deny the story, the UPS exec repeated several times, "I do not want to comment on that."

19. It's gotta be totally bogus. Why would Brad Pitt care about who gets their mototcycle first? It would be more accurate, in my opinion, that Pitt wouldn't want to get a bike that Nut Cruise has.

21. For the ignorant: Post #6 does not equal posting first. Your mommys should kick all of you losers off the computer and send you outside to play. I can just see the squealing anklebiters pushing and shoving, crying "first". Pathetic. - and Stupid!

No Brad wouldn't go nuts over a stupid motorcycle. This is obviously made up and a weak attempt by TMZ to get someone to watch their show.

28. If it were true UPS would be under serious pressure to explain.
Is it possible. Yes. The egos of these boys-with-toys is phenomenal.

30. Does Tom Cruise even know how to ride a motorcycle? Does Cruise even have a license to ride? I doubt it or we'd have seen him riding as much or more than we see Pitt riding his. Having said that; I know Ducatis are 'bling bling and all, but if you want power/speed for a 3rd the cost you got to stick with 'Ninja/Kawasaki! Trust me! Being someone who bought a showroom/stock ZX10R a couple years ago, rated 185-HP/192-MPH top speed (165-LB rider tested) 'Out The Door/stock! Ducatis are no better than their hype. They aren't amongst top-5 rated fastest (production or racing), so I guess the best they can do is appeal to the celebs for the advertising/posing? In that regard; they dropped the ball shipping to 'Scientology guy, over Pitt who actually rides and has brought attention to the brand free of charge over the years for doing so? I say it again; Pitt should just donate his 'Ducati to the church of Scientology, and let Kawasaki set him up with a winner for nothin!
