مصاحبه اخیر برد پیت با مجله استرن آلمان حسابی جنجالی شده است ظاهرا مجله از قول برد پیت جمله ای را نقد کرده که حسابی سرو صدا به راه انداخته. در این مصاخبه برد پیت در مقایسه فیلم جدیدش که یک فیلم جنگ جهانی دومی با بازی خودش و کارگدانی کوئنتین تارانتینو است گفته که والکری تام کروز فیلم مضحکی است.
این صحبت توهین آمیز که به شدت اهالی سینما و هالیوود را عصبانی کرده به سرعت از طرف مدیر برنامه های برد پیت نقض شد. مدیر برنامه های پیت سریعا اعلام کرد نقل قول مجله از جانب برد پیت غلط است و او همچنین حرفی نزده است زیرا که برد اصلا والکری را ندیده است.
به گفته سایتهای خبری اینترنت ظاهرا برد پیت هوس بازی با دم شیر را ندشته است چون در هالیوود همیشه اول الم کروز بوده و بعد برد پیت.
بعدا خود پیت به مجله us weekly اعلام کرد که اصولا مقایسه والکری با فیلم جدیدش "حرامزاده های شرمآور" اشتباه است چراکه والکری یک فیلم بر اساس واقعیت است.

Looks like Brad Pitt still has a few more years to go before he enters into his glibless, insult-hurling, couch-jumping phase.
Despite what seemed like an albeit uncharacteristic verbal sucker punch to Tom Cruise's moviemaking chops last week, a rep for the Inglourious Basterds thesp has denied that Pitt has ever had a bad word to say about his onetime costar.
On Friday, the German magazine Stern ran an interview with Angie's better half, quoting the reigning box office champ as slamming Cruise's rival Nazi-fighting film Valkyrie as, quite simply, "a ridiculous movie."
But this is one dogfight that ended before it began.
"Brad has never seen Valkyrie, so this is not accurate," his manager told tabloid of record Us Weekly.
Which, if we wanted to stir things up, we could almost classify as a diss-by-snubbing.
Not that we would ever want to do that.
Guess we'll just have to settle for the second-rate feuding of Joe & Alec.
Oh yes he did.
Having adequately filled the public in on his and Angie's rampant randiness, past toking up habits and nonexistent mayoral aspirations, the one-man sound bite machine that is Brad Pitt is now paying lip service to a topic guaranteed to keep him (and his new movie) in the headlines: dissing former costars.
Or rather, one costar in particular.
The unexpected slam came when Pitt was promoting Inglorious Basterds by blessing the German magazine Stern with an interview and the questioner, clearly unversed in the ego-stroking required of such an activity, made the mistake of mentioning another recent Nazi-fighting flick, Tom Cruise's Valkyrie.
"It was a ridiculous movie," Pitt said.
We'll give him this: The man knows how to play to his audience.
After the diss, Pitt carried on with his my-Nazi-movie-is-better-than-your-Nazi-movie bravado, telling other filmmakers who may have entertained thoughts about making a World War II-era epic of their own that they may as well wave the white flag now.
"The second World War could still deliver more stories and films, but I believe that Quentin put a cover on that pot," he said. "With Basterds, everything that can be said to this genre has been said.
"The film destroys every symbol. The work is done, end of story."
Guess this means we shouldn't hold our breath for Interview With the Vampire 2.
Hollywood is aligned like so: Tom Cruise, first; Brad Pitt, second. Tom Cruise, Lestat; Brad Pitt, the other vampire. And so on and so forth. To tinker with the natural order of this star system is to tempt fate, and perhaps make the moon explode.
We don't want the moon to explode. We want to see Avatar in December.
So if a phantom quote to a German newspaper has given you the big idea that Pitt and his movies are cooler than Cruise and his movies, we're here to set you straight: Tom Cruise is cooler.
Save the planet. Read our talking points.
1. An eye patch, such as the one worn by Cruise in Valkyrie, is the stuff of the world's most interesting men—and women. (Please note Angelina Jolie wore one in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.) A mustache, such as the one modeled by Pitt in Inglourious Basterds, is the stuff of guys who didn't get the memo.
2. Mr. & Mrs. Smith, starring Pitt and real-life love Jolie, was good. Eyes Wide Shut, starring Cruise and then-wife Nicole Kidman, wasn't—or so we thought at first. But like the coolest movies, Stanley Kubrick's nightmare stayed with us. Copious nudity, after all, never goes out of style.
3. In Pitt's early days with Jolie, he stood at arm's length from her in public. In Cruise's early days with Katie Holmes, he jumped up and down on Oprah Winfrey's couch. He lost his cool over love. Which, in retrospect, is cool.
4. Cruise played a guy named Cole Trickle—and lived well to tell about it. Pitt, meanwhile, nearly got done in, careerwise, by the perfectly normal-sounding Joe Black.
5. Pitt worked with the king of cuss, Quentin Tarantino; Cruise was the king of cuss in Tropic Thunder and, even fouler, Magnolia.
6. The hat that Pitt keeps wearing—the one that's worse than the Inglourious Mustache mustache—is absolutely uncool. The hair-conscious Cruise would never wear that hat, thereby making him, yes, absolutely cool.
7. The Brooke Shields factor. We've been liking Shields a lot since she made Michael Jackson seem all-too human at the singer's memorial service. So we're going to take it as a point in Cruise's favor that, while he briefly feuded with Shields, he made up with her, even extending her an invite to his wedding with Holmes (which she, Shields, accepted). To sum up, if Shields is cool with Cruise, then we're cool with Cruise.
8. We don't know where Shields stands on Pitt. Not cool.
9. Pitt is building a bunch of houses in New Orleans. Show-off!
9. We don't know where Cruise stands on New Orleans, lending an eye-patchy sense of mystery to the man.
10. If you haven't already noticed, we will say anything to ensure that the moon does not explode. Truth is, we actually think Will Smith is the only dead-solid perfect movie star in our midst, but we will deny everything in order to ensure our world's future. And good seats for Avatar.
