Hottest Videos -- Week of 10/08

Published | Updated

Not since the crumbling of the Berlin Wall have the winds of peace swept over the world like they did this past weekend. Paris and Nicole are best buds once again. Let the word spread throughout the land that "Simple Life" will return with the ladies sharing screen time.

Brangelina decided to go native while in Pune, India and the sexy couple was overrun with fans and photogs. Their rickshaw was surrounded every time they came to a stop. We wonder if little Maddox realizes that not every family causes a near riot when they go out.

Where's Britney while K-Fed paints the town red? The wannabe rapper, actor and model has been spotted twice in one week partying in LA while Britney is presumably at home watching the kids. Dude, next time get a sitter and treat your lady right.

Angelina Involved in Car Crash

Published | Updated

Fact: Angelina Jolie can stop traffic with just one look. Unfortunately, that look was one of shock after the car she was riding in swiped a passing motor biker in India yesterday.

According to the 19-year-old who was struck by Angelina's car, the collision occurred as Jolie's driver desperately tried to avoid a group of swarming photogs. Angelina, however, reportedly remained cool, calm and collected following the accident, reading a book in her dinged-up ride as police investigated the scene. No one involved, including Angelina and the the biker, was seriously injured.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are in Pune, India shooting "A Mighty Heart" about the life of American journalist Daniel Pearl.

Kate Moss Is Higher Than Brangelina and Madonna

Published | Updated

Supermodel Kate Moss has been named the most influential celebrity in the world, beating out megastars like Madonna and even Brad and Angelina!

British experts analyzed how many times a star is mentioned in the media, magazine covers, and entries on Google.com to come up with the power list.

Everyone's favorite born-again Brit Madonna came in at #2, with soccer stud David Beckham in third. Angelina edged out her real-life paramour, Brad Pitt, by one spot to come in at #5.

While Moss may have more promotional campaigns than she can count and a personal style that is often emulated by women around the world (including celebs like Sienna Miller, Nicole Richie, and Lindsay Lohan), we hope her alleged drug use debacle of 2005 isn't anything people want to mirror.

Brangelina's Bodyguard on the Attack

Published | Updated

Today's lesson: Don't mess with Brad and Angelina.

A security guard for the couple attacked a member of the paparazzi waiting outside their hotel on Saturday in Pune, India-- and it was all caught on tape.

After yelling at the photog, who says he was a guest of the hotel and was being considerate, the bodyguard lunged forward and grabbing him by the throat, choking him.

The photographer, Sam Ralph, says he's considering taking further action, "I haven't decided yet, I'm considering it. But yes, I'm a guest at this hotel, I have every right to be here and it would be disrespectful to take pictures inside the hotel I know they wouldn't like that, but I was outside anyway doing my job along with everyone else."

Pitt and Jolie are in India preparing for Angelina's new film, "A Mighty Heart," which begins shooting next week.

Brangelina Cause Near-Riot on Rickshaw Ride

Published | Updated

Apparently unable to afford more sophisticated vehicular transportation, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took a spin in a rickshaw in downtown Pune, India yesterday – and almost caused a riot in the process.

The couple decided to take 5-year-old son Maddox out for a little ride into town, except that, this being India, a massive throng of fans, photographers, cameramen, and reporters surrounded their little rickshaw every time they stopped, and a security detail in the rickshaw behind had to jump out just to keep the hordes at bay.

It all got a bit too much for the Jolie-Pitts, as they had to cut their ride short after 20 minutes. No word on their destination, but the couple is in town to shoot scenes for "A Mighty Heart," which Pitt is producing and Jolie is starring in.

Brad Wants Angie Preggers Again -- STAT!

Published | Updated

Could there be trouble in the oh-so-pretty paradise that is the universe of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie? According to a report this morning, a tussle over their next child is causing a rift between the stars.

"Brad wants another child, preferably a boy – but he wants a biological boy," says a Page Six source. "He is adamant and wants her to get pregnant again right away." Angelina, on the other hand, isn't on board with that plan – she's ready to adopt again, plus the pillow-lipped actress has a profoundly busy work schedule, with at least three films in the making. The couple's brood already includes two adopted children, Maddox and Zahara, and one biological kid, Shiloh Nouvel.

Pitt's rep didn't have comment and Jolie, according to the Post, doesn't even have a rep.

"Dancing with Brad Pitt"???

Published | Updated

Low wattage celebs like Willa Ford and Harry Hamlin are a dime-a-dozen on "Dancing with the Stars," but A-list stars like super couple Brangelina? Not a chance, right?

On Tuesday the parking lot outside the "Dancing" set featured assigned spaces with the names of contestants like Mario Lopez, Jerry Springer and Hamlin's wife, Lisa Rinna. While there's nothing unusual about that, there was one space that seemed oddly out of place -- Brad Pitt's!

Brad, who is obviously not a contestant on the ABC show, had a parking spot with a sign baring his name and the show's logo on it.

So was Brangelina going to make a surprise appearance on the C-list emporium and show off their best Paso Doble moves? Probably not.

Perhaps, like the rest of us mere mortals, they're just fans of Joey Lawrence's tango.

Tune in to Wednesday's episode of "Dancing with the Stars" to see who gets voted off and if the Brad Pitt mystery is solved.

Brad's New Tattoo?

Published | Updated

Brad Pitt may not be ready to commit himself to holy matrimony, but he is ready to commit to a lifetime of ink?

The latest pictures of Brad show a mark on his forearm that resembles what might be a tattoo.

Brad's donned lots of tattoos in many of his cinematic roles, but in real life he has yet to mark his body ... until now? Either he scraped up his arm riding around on his motorcycle, didn't shower properly or he really got a tattoo. You be the judge.

Brad and Angie Go Tagging

Published | Updated

Hollywood's hottest couple made another public appearance last night at one of the only two things they seem to do outside their home -- art shows and flying lessons.

Yesterday's outing was no different, as they took in the view at Banksy's graffiti art show in a Downtown LA warehouse. The happy couple took time to check out the artist's show, called "Barely Legal," where a life-sized red and gold elephant is the show's main piece.

Yesterday's news of the arrest of an FBI impostor for trying to secure a job at camp Brangelina didn't seem to slow down the famous duo as they left the show holding hands, escorted by two women.

Fake Fed Wanted to Get Near Brangelina

Published | Updated

A would-be "security consultant" was arrested today for allegedly impersonating a federal agent in order to try to secure the job of being a bodyguard for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Nelson Mercado, 46, of Torrance, Calif., is accused of telling Sunset Protective Services and Investigations that he was a special agent for the Department of Homeland Security and is also accused of specifically seeking "the security contract and hourly payment to provide security services" for Brangelina, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in LA.

Mercado is also accused of using fake credentials and a "fraudulently registered" Ford Crown Victoria with tinted windows and a police light package. He was arrested today by Secret Service agents and, if convicted, faces a maximum penalty of three years in federal prison.

Angelina's New Film -- Problems in Pakistan

Published | Updated

She might be the sweetheart of Namibia, but it looks like Angelina Jolie doesn't quite carry the same weight in Pakistan.

A Pakistani newspaper is reporting that a production crew from Jolie's upcoming movie "A Mighty Heart" was recently caught filming scenes in Karachi and Islamabad, as well as the Pakistani countryside, without permission from the government.

"A Mighty Heart," is based on Mariane Pearl's account of the terrifying and unforgettable ordeal of her late husband, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.

A press minister from the government issued a statement to the Pakistan Daily Times saying, "No request by the film unit to shoot in Pakistan had been made to the embassy." He said all documentary and feature filmmakers must obtain permission and an appropriate visa from the Pakistani government before they begin shooting. Any unauthorized attempt to film without permission and without the knowledge of government authorities is "illegal and regrettable," he added. The minister said he would be making inquiries, starting today, both here and in Islamabad.

TMZ contacted Paramount, the studio producing the film. Our calls were not immediately returned.

Brad's Jab at Mel Gibson

Published | Updated

While in Toronto promoting his new film, Brad Pitt referenced Mel Gibson's recent DUI arrest as cameras snapped his photo. After cracking a funny face, the actor joked, "That's the picture that's going to end up when I have a breakdown or something ... when I get arrested for a DUI late at night, make racial slurs or something."

Pitt also talked candidly about his children with Angelina Jolie, worrying about them seeing his past films. "Oh my God, what did I do? What are they gonna see? Films from the past, I start making that list and ah, but it definitely colors what I'll approach in the future, I'll try to be a little bit more mature about my decisions."

While Maddox, Zahara and baby Shiloh probably won't be seeing Pitt's "Seven" or "Interview with the Vampire" anytime soon, it's Angie's repertoire he should be worried about -- "Original Sin" and "Gia," anyone?

Welcome to Air Angelina

Published | Updated

Ever the excitement-seeker, Angelina Jolie was spotted taking flight lessons over the weekend -- making her the hottest pilot we've ever seen. Jolie was training at Milton Air in Burbank, where it's clear she's lost the baby weight after giving birth to daughter Shiloh Nouvel.

TMZ is told she was joined with her baby-daddy Brad Pitt, who arrived later on his motorcycle before jetting to Toronto to promote his new film, "Babel."

No word on the status of Angelina's pilot license but we'd personally love to hear the words, "This is your Captain, Angelina Jolie, speaking" the next time we board a plane.

Baby Suri Cruise's pics are estimated to go for a similar price ... if she really exists.

But what about B-List babies? What price range do they fall into? According to one of TMZ's sources, "Not that much." We're talking less than $5000!!
