Brad & Angelina

Overcome by a Big Maharaja Mac attack earlier today, the actress took a quick break from the set of her upcoming movie, "A Mighty Heart," to chow down on some fast food goodness -- in full costume, of course. Personally, we would have gone with the McAloo Tikki Burger instead. Yum-a-loo!

Angie would have been disappointed if she actually tried to order up a real Big Mac; cows are sacred in India! There's a mcnugget for ya.

Brangelina and company made their gorgeous way to the airport in Pune yesterday, with Brad carrying baby Shiloh (who again remained hidden from view) and Angie holding Maddox's hand and carrying Zahara. The family was seen off by very few paparazzi, a far cry from the crush they will undoubtedly face once they return to California.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and along with the plentiful servings of turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie, celeb-watchers know that there's another dish best served right around this holiday -- couples drama.

Last year, of course, Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey announced that they were splitting up -- on Thanksgiving Day no less, causing glossy-magazine editors and showbiz news show producers no end of grief. Then, after spending a much-buzzed-about weekend at a spa in Arizona, Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston were pulled over on suspicion that Vaughn was driving under the influence (though no charges were filed). Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, still in the first blossom of romance, made a high-profile do-gooding trip to Pakistan to visit earthquake victims over the holiday, making their archrivals Vaughniston look positively sybaritic by comparison.

Brad paid 200 rupees ($4.50) for the toy; about half a day's pay for the average Indian.

A kiss from daddy would make us feel better.

Our fellow Americans, it's Election Day, and with it comes the usual horde of celebrities using star wattage to shed light on issues closest to their hearts -- or so they think.

Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts were just two of the A-listers to lend their support to Proposition 87, the controversial California ballot measure that would tax oil drilling in the state up to $4 billion, which would then be spent on alternative energy research. You know the drill -- don't look too glammed-up (note Julia's specs), seem humble but passionate, talk about how being a multi-milionaire media sensation is a gift and you're just giving back. But Brad and Julia aren't the only ones who are pimping their celebrity to stump for fave causes.

Leonardo DiCaprio, he of the personal hybrid car fleet, appeared with Calif. Sen. Barbara Boxer last weekend to support -- what else -- eco-friendly Prop 87. With all the celeb stumping, pundits are giving the measure a somewhat unexpected 50-50 chance of passing, even with the oil industry's reported $100 million campaign to kill it.

Jennifer Garner, known more for her action-star aptitude than her political action, recently talked up Democrat Jerry McNerney in upstate Pleasanton, Calif., backing his pro-green policies and denigrating the "arrogance and ignorance" of his opponent, Republican Richard Pombo, in a closely-watched race in the House of Representatives.

Perhaps the most controversial celeb endorsement came from Michael J. Fox, who has done TV ads for several candidates who support stem-cell research, and who was criticized by right-wing talk-show and big-fat-idiot, Rush Limbaugh, who accused Michael of amplifying his Parkinson's disease symptoms for dramatic effect. Putz.

Who's the biggest blowhard among these actor-activists? In the best democratic fashion, we'll let you, our favorite electorate, decide. Then go out to the real polls and do your patriotic duty!

You may think that Pune is just a little village compared to the vast metropolis that is Los Angeles, thereby explaining the lower-key scene at the airport. But -- and let this be your nugget of knowledge for the day -- Pune is actually a major metropolis of 4.5 million people, the eighth largest city in India. Metropolitan L.A., on the other hand, has 4 million residents.

TMZ's cameras and G-Hollywood stopped by all of our favorite spots over the weekend to bring you yet another celeb-packed Star Catcher.

One of our first stops was at the L.A. premiere of "Babel," where we ran into its two stars; Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. Brad, sans Angelina, gave TMZ a quick shoutout while Cate stopped to pose for the cameras.

Then it was time to check out the club scene, whose guestlists were filled with familiar names, but the rooms were filled with unfamiliar faces. Stopping by Area, Hyde and Les Deux, we spotted our favorite heiress, who was once again with "Girl Next Door" hottie, Elisha Cuthbert. Comedian Jamie Kennedy, Brody Jenner, reality star Kristin Cavallari, Stacy Keibler, Sean Stewart, Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, MTV host Nick Cannon, party girl Lindsay Lohan, Harry Morton and former Laker Rick Fox, who had a few Sharon Stone rumors to boast.

All this and much more in this weekend Star Catcher!

In the last eight years, six Academy Award-winning actresses have lost their B-list men on the heels of their Oscar wins. Whether it's a symptom of living in the shadows of their celebrated spouses, or just a wacky coincidence, their fellas can't seem to deal with Oscar being the other man.

For your consideration, TMZ takes a look inside the so-called "Oscar Curse."

Julia Roberts

Just three months after winning her 2001 Best Actress Oscar for "Erin Brockovich," Julia Roberts ended her relationship with sexy boyfriend Benjamin Bratt. The couple split amid rumors that Ben wanted Julia to work less and settle down. Apparently, that didn't fly with Roberts, but love didn't elude the "Pretty Woman" for very long. A year later, she married cameraman Danny Moder, with whom she had twins.

The Jolie-Pitts have made sweltering India a temporary second home while filming Angelina's new film, "A Mighty Heart," which Brad's company is producing... keeping it all in the growing family.

The couple wreaked havoc in the city last month when Angelina's bodyguard attacked a photog, her car struck a 19-year-old on a motor bike and when Brangelina were swarmed while taking a rickshaw ride. It's not easy being fabulous.

A source close to Pitt tells TMZ that Brad shot the photos, taken by artist Robert Wilson, in September 2005, but didn't have any idea at the time -- or anytime since -- that they would be used for the cover of VF. Pitt had agreed to be in Wilson's avant-garde video art project last year, and signed a legal release at the time for the still and video images taken in the shoot. But until the Vanity Fair cover emerged this week, Pitt didn't know that he would be the magazine's coverboy.

Reps for Vanity Fair tell TMZ, "In a letter dated October 5, 2006, and sent to Pitt care of Brillstein-Grey [Pitt's managers], Wilson informed Pitt that a still image from his portrait was going to be featured in the December art issue of Vanity Fair." A source says that Pitt never saw the letter.

Pitt's lawyers are said to be weighing their legal options. His rep gave the following statement to TMZ: "We are very disappointed that Vanity Fair has chosen to put an unauthorized cover on their magazine. It seriously makes me question their integrity and motives."

A rep for Vanity Fair tells TMZ: "Brad Pitt posed for a Robert Wilson video portrait, and in the photo release (signed by Pitt), agreed to allow Wilson to use the portrait or any images from that sitting in connection with any publicity on

Wilson's video project. Vanity Fair decided to do a story on Wilson's video portraits and obtained rights to the entire collection of photographs from those sittings, which included Pitt's."

It's already hot in India, and now they've got one of the hottest construction workers ever!

In support of Habitat for Humanity, Brad Pitt was clicked along with former President Jimmy Carter while building houses in the village of Lonwala. Voila!

Ever the humanitarian, Pitt visited the construction site of 100 homes, set to alleviate housing problems in the region. The stone cold hot dad even took time to lay a few bricks.

The family spent the weekend at a high-end resort in search of some quality rest and relaxation -- and hopefully that's just what they got. Now, after all the peace and quiet, Brad is faced with the big decision of whether or not to press charges against the network -- a decision that could no doubt bring some unwanted stress to the entire family.

Police sources tell TMZ that an E! camera crew is currently under investigation, and the entertainment network has provided cops with what could be Exhibit A in a criminal prosecution.

We're told on October 19, a three-person crew from E! went through a gate and entered Brad Pitt's compound in the Hollywood Hills. A construction worker noticed them and contacted Pitt's personal security, who then confronted them.

Two days after the incident, the general contractor on the job and the head of Pitt's security went to LAPD's Hollywood division and filed a criminal trespass report against the two men and a woman from E!. But here's the rub. The eyewitnesses only saw one member of the crew on Pitt's property.

But E! came to Pitt's rescue. After summarily firing the crew, we're told that yesterday E! Entertainment sent detectives a DVD with all of the video that its crew shot. Police sources say the video is incriminating.

The cops tell TMZ they will make a decision next week on whether to refer the case to the L.A. City Attorney for prosecution. We're told E! has been in touch with Brad's peeps in an attempt to settle the matter civilly, not criminally. Stay tuned.

TMZ has learned that a crew from E! Entertainment was caught Thursday allegedly committing a brazen trespass on Brad Pitt's property.

According to sources, two people from E! walked up to the back perimeter of Pitt's Hollywood Hills compound on a dirt driveway. Pitt's peeps tell TMZ that the crew unchained the gate, allegedly trespassed onto the actor's private property and began filming the exterior of his craftsman house. An E! spokesperson tells TMZ "From our initial investigation, that is not how the events occurred."

A source tells TMZ one of the construction workers spotted the E! crew and notified the contractor. The construction crew, who were visibly upset, tried to confiscate the camera, but we're told the cameraperson dove into a nearby van and locked the door. Brad's security were dispatched but the crew hastily took off.

The crew was detained by Pitt's security and released.

We're told as of yesterday Pitt intended to press criminal trespassing charges. So far, TMZ has not been able to locate a police report.

E! issued the following statement to TMZ: "E! Networks is investigating allegations that a producer and cameraman who were filming locations for a program about Brad Pitt went onto property last week that is reportedly owned by Mr. Pitt. E! Networks did not instruct or authorize anyone working on its program to improperly intrude onto private property, and the individuals involved have been terminated. While neither Mr. Pitt nor his family were at the property when the incident took place, the network in no way condones or encourages such behavior and would like to offer its most sincere apologies to Mr. Pitt and his family."

Brad and Angelina's beautiful $4 million baby was caught smiling on a stroll with her mother on a sunny day in India earlier this week. Angie clutched her child close to her chest on the walk, keeping her body covered in a sheet, though Shiloh managed to peek her head out just enough for the world to catch a glimpse of her face. For added protection, a guard ushered her through the crowd of curious onlookers the entire way.

As for the rest of the fam, Maddox and Zahara kept a close eye on their sister while trailing just a few steps behind mom.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their gang of kiddos arrived back in Pune, India after spending a peaceful weekend by the beautiful beaches of Goa.

It comes as a true shock that the superstars were even allowed back to Pune to continue filming the upcoming movie "A Mighty Heart," after the incredible amount of chaos the pair has caused there recently.

The couple created widespread panic last week in the streets when they decided to take a rickshaw ride with Maddox. Days later Brangelina's bodyguard went on the attack and choked out a paparazzo who got a little too close to the über-celebs. And if those two incidents weren't enough to put the citizens of India on their toes, the car Angelina was riding in struck a 19-year-old on a motor bike as the actress' driver tried to avoid a group of swarming paparazzi.
