Brad Pitt is reflecting on life and the man that he has become.

In the June/July issue of Esquire magazine, the 49-year-old actor says that not so long ago he was afraid his history of hard living and drug use had ruined him for good. "For a long time I thought I did too much damage -- drug damage," he tells the mag. "I was a bit of a drifter. A guy who felt he grew up in something of a vacuum and wanted to see things, wanted to be inspired."

He credits this to looking for inspiration in all the wrong places. "I spent years f--king off," Pitt admits. "But then I got burnt out and felt that I was wasting my opportunity."

At that point -- "about a decade ago,"  the time he was still married to ex-wife Jennifer Aniston -- he made a "conscious change" in ...

A little spring cleaning for Robert Pattinson or a full out escape?

After breaking up with Kristen Stewart late last week, the 27-year-old actor was snapped leaving her L.A. home in his pickup truck filled with all his stuff.  

The Twilight actor had his dogs, Bear and Bernie, riding shotgun with him, and piled a suitcase, bike, and trash bags in the bed of his truck. 

Other reports suggest that Robert discovered new text messages in Kristen's phone from Rupert Sanders (the guys she cheated on Rob with before their reconciliation.) 

A source reveals on Perezhilton.com:

"Rob was looking at her phone on the morning of his birthday as he wanted to take a picture of something when she was in the shower. Suddenly this message flashes up and it's not what he wanted to see. He got straight up and left. Despite Kristen’s pleas, he told her not ...

Zach Galifianakis took a former homeless woman as his date to the "Hangover 3" premiere.  The woman is 87-year-old Elizabeth "Mimi" Haist.

The sweet part of this story is that Zach is the one who rescued  Elizabeth from the streets.

Zach became friends with Mimi at Fox Coin Laundry in Santa Monica back in 1994 -- where she would help people fold their clothes ... for tips.

When he found out she'd become homeless a few years ago, he decided to help out  by setting her up in a one bedroom apartment and paying her rent.

Zach has taken Mimi as his date to previous movie premieres as well.  

 January Jones still is mum on the topic of who her baby daddy is. 

Recently the New York Times asked the Mad Men star to reveal the identity of the man who fathered her 20-month-old son Xander, to which the 35-year-old actress refused to answer. "That's my son's business," Jones explained in a May 19 interview. "It's not the public's business."

"Women should have lots of secrets," added Jones, whose famous exes include Jason Sudeikis, Ashton Kutcher and Josh Groban. "It's our right to have secrets. Otherwise, what would we write in our memoirs?"

Do you think the baby daddy is any of the exes listed above? 

Kate Middleton is in total nesting mode.

The expectant royal is taking cooking classes and learning new recipes from her new housekeeper, Antonella Fresolone.

Fresolone, who worked for 13 years at Buckingham Palace, comes highly regarded. Her homemade pasta and French bread recipe are supposedly to die for.

And if a way to a man's heart is through his stomach, Prince William is going to be one happy man!

In recent weeks, the Duchess has been preparing for the baby's arrival.  She was seen shopping with her mother, Carole Middleton, in an exclusive baby boutique and she has also been spotted shopping for décor, most likely for her and Prince Williams new home.

Kate and Will's baby is expected to arrive on July 13th.

Eva Longoria suffered a major wardrobe malfunction at the Cannes Film Festival Saturday night when, hoping to avoid having her gorgeous pale green dress ruined by a nasty downpour, Longoria picked up her train a little too far and revealed she wasn't wearing any underwear.

And as always the paparazzi were there to capture the embarrassing moment.

The next day while attending the premiere of Jimmy P. (Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian) starring Benicio del Toro, Longoria laughed off the incident via Twitter when she posted a pic of another sexy getup she later wore.

"Here's my dress for tonight! No wardrobe malfunctions tonight!!!" she tweeted.

BUSTED! Taylor Swift tell us what you really think of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez's relationship.

Watch the video captured backstage at the Billboard Music Awards that says it all.



Yup she stuck her tongue out in disgust. Also awkward how Justin wanted a kiss on the lips and Selena only offered the cheek ouch!

Awww Justin Bieber needs a big belieber hug.

Despite two separate wins and performances at the Billboard Music Awards Sunday evening, the 19-year-old artist, who accepted the first-ever Milestone Award, was greeted by the crowd booing.

The singer seemed confused and disoriented by the crowd's reaction. Bieber said, "Basically from my heart I really just want to say it really should be about the music. It should be about the craft that I'm making." He added that "none of the other bull" mattered.

Is he referring to any of these situations:

Leaving his pet monkey at an airport in Germany

Swedish police finding pot on his tour bus

Walking through an airport without a shirt on

Saying he hoped Anne Frank would have been a belieber

Threatening to beat up a photographer

Allegedly spitting on a neighbour in Los Angeles

Tweeting that his 19th birthday sucked

Showing up two hours ...

Jennifer Lopez hasn't given up on marriage.

The singer, 43, - who began dating choreographer Casper Smart, 25, in October 2011 shortly after her third marriage ended- is hopeful for a fairytale ending and will "probably" walk down the aisle with him in the future.

When asked about getting married again she says, "I don't know ... probably, maybe! I like [being married], I like the idea of it, I always have. As a girl you never really give up on that fairytale completely."

Lopez who shares five-year-old twins Max and Emme with her third husband Marc Anthony says that Smart - who has choreographed the video for her new single 'Live It Up' - is the perfect partner because the pair share a creative connection which fuels both their careers.

Lopez explained to ET News: "It's a sweet relationship. It's kind, it's healthy. He's a creative partner to me. ...

First Randy Jackson, then Nicki Minaj (rumoured) and now Ryan Seacrest leaving American Idol? 

When addressed about the rumours of his departure and Justin Bieber possibly stepping into the role Seacrest said,  "I think Bieber would make a great host. I think he would be good at the phone numbers and he would fit in my suits." 

About staying with the show he said,  "I don't want to say yes and then get a call tomorrow. As far as I know, yes. I'm coming. I'm showing up. Hopefully, they'll let me in."

Although some reports suggest that Mariah Carey and Keith Urban might soon be leaving as well, Seacrest said it's too soon to tell.

"Aside from Randy saying he's leaving, this season at the end is really no different than seasons past -- with rumors that circulate about the panel. But nothing's really announced until we get through ...

Ouch and Oh My! 

A very pregnant Kim Kardashian squeezed her little piggies into a pair of shoes in L.A. on Thursday -- while Julianne Moore's Oscar nominated toes tried to make a run for it at the Cannes Film Festival Wednesday.

Which looks worse?

Third time's a charm for Candice Glover.

The South Carolina native, on her third American Idol after auditioning in seasons 9 and 11, became the first female winner of the show since season 6's Jordin Sparks, scoring the largest number of votes to defeat runner-up Kree Harrison.

Glover, 23, was extremelty emotional following her victory. "I can't even... oh, my god," she said through tears. "Three years."

Candice takes home a contract with 19 Recordings and a brand new Ford Escape car and her album is available for pre-order on iTunes as of Thursday night.

Forever young?

The New York Public Library has published an un-retouched, un-Photoshopped photo from 1939 that features a guy who looks remarkably like Jay-Z.

“I was immediately struck by the similarity to Jay-Z and actually laughed out loud," Schomburg’s Curator of Digital Collections Sylviane A. Diouf, who found the photo, said. "I still hope somebody will tell us who that young man really was."

According to the library, the image titled, “Harlem Loiterers” by street photographer Sid Grossman, "created quite a stir" since being posted on NYPL Schomburg Center for Research In Black Culture's Facebook page the other day.

Kim Kardashian's dolls have informed her that a rumour has surfaced that her baby daddy, Kanye West has been hooking up with fashion designer Riccardo Tisci.

As reported at Perezhilton.com, according to a source, once Kim heard she "freaked out", saying: "There are some facts Kim can’t deny. Kanye has spent her entire pregnancy living close to Riccardo in the French capital and Riccardo recently purchased an apartment less than half a mile from Kanye’s in NYC’s Soho neighborhood. Kanye is obsessed with Riccardo. They have a very deep bond. They spend a lot of time together at Kanye’s apartment. Kim freaked out. If it turns out Kanye is involved with Riccardo, she will be utterly embarrassed — more so than she’s ever been in her life."

Just because two guys spend time together and live close to each other doesn't neccessarily mean that they are "together" however if the ...

Nicki Minaj is reportedly following in Randy Jackson's footsteps and leaving American Idol.

Us Weekly quotes an inside source saying, “It’s safe to say she isn’t coming back to ‘Idol.’ She’s okay with it. She had a great time but was only going to do one season anyway.”

The 30-year-old has been seen feuding most of the season with fellow first-time judge Mariah Carey.

“I think the producers thought that the feud would bring in ratings at first, but then it got away from them,” M.J. Santilli, who writes MJs Big Blog about the show, told ABCNews.com.

Rumors have been circulating that the show will be restructured next season with an entirely new panel of judges and a new producer.

Christina Aguilera is reportedly returning for season 5 of The Voice along with Cee Lo Green, however Shakira and Usher may not.

"Shakira wants to take a season off to take care of the baby," a source tells Us Magazine. "She has an option to come back too. And Usher is doing a movie, so he couldn't do season 5 if they wanted him to."

Blake Shelton and Adam Levine will remain firmly in their spinning seats, the source adds.

Aguilera first announced her decision to part ways with the franchise back in September 2012, telling E! News that her departure was "bittersweet."

"I so enjoy being a coach to my team on The Voice [and] at this point in season three, all of us coaches have truly bonded," she said at the time. "When me and Adam are on breaks backstage, you know, we're writing profanity with my red ...
