Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have won a legal battle with a former aide who accused the couple of unfair dismissal.

Ana Luisa Charlotiaux worked at the couple's Chateau Miraval home in the tiny village of Brignoles in France, but claims she was dropped from her role as a translator for the house's staff while she was on sick leave.

She lodged a complaint in her native France, seeking $111,800 in compensation.

The case was heard by a judge in France on September 11th and a ruling was made in favor of the Hollywood couple, according to French website Leparisien.fr.

However, Charlotiau...

We all knew this day would come: The zombie apocalypse "World War Z" trailer has finally arrived.

Starring Brad Pitt and "The Killing" star Mireille Enos — and adapted from the novel by Max Brooks — "World War Z" is a nightmarish tale of the whole planet overrun by undead. The first trailer shows order unravelling around Gerry Lane (Pitt), a United Nations employee who travels the globe trying to stanch the flow of a zombie pandemic.

And what a zombie pandemic it is. These are no shambling Romero creatures; they're not even the fast-moving but independently operating monsters of "28 Days...

Brad Pitt can add furniture designer to his resume after creating a sophisticated home ware collection.

The Ocean's Eleven star has teamed up with furniture maker Frank Pollaro for the range, which includes a bed, tables, chairs and a marble bathtub for two.

Pitt tells Architectural Digest magazine, "I've been doodling ideas for buildings and furniture since the early 1990s, when I first discovered Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Frank Lloyd Wright. I found Wright in college, when looking for a lazy two-point credit to get out of French. It forever changed my life."

Pollaro reveals the ...

Brad Pitt has pledged to donate $100,000 to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) in support of the organization's drive for marriage equality.

The Fight Club star has been a long-time activist for same-sex unions, famously saying he would not marry fiancée Angelina Jolie until everybody in the U.S. had the right to wed. Pitt has encouraged fans to donate cash which he will match dollar for dollar in order to raise awareness and support for marriage equality issues, which is on the ballot in four states during next week's election.

In a statement, the actor says, "It's unbelievable to me that...

Uma Thurman and her French financier boyfriend Arpad Busson revealed the name of their newborn baby girl this week, and the tot's title is a mouthful.

Not content with the typical first/middle/last -- or in this case hyphenated last -- name, the little girl surely has a challenging future ahead of her when it comes to filling out any types of forms.

The couple named their three-month-old Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence Thurman-Busson. Where they got her nickname, "Luna," from is a mystery; but their rep says each name has a special reason and meaning.

But Uma and Arpad -- who ...

Chanel has released a second advertisement starring Brad Pitt for its iconic Chanel No.5 perfume. The actor is the first male to promote the French fashion house's fragrance.

Pitt appears in black and white on a grey background. He narrates, "It's not a journey. Every journey ends. But we go on. The world turns and we turn with it. Plans disappear. Dreams take over. But wherever I go, there you are. My look. My fate. My fortune. Chanel No. 5 - inevitable."

The ad, directed by Joe Wright, shows a model looking out an enormous window onto a city skyline, another walking on water and one see...

Brad Pitt is convinced Hollywood actors will no longer be able to command multi-million dollar salaries in the future because movie studios have been hit hard by the tough economic climate.

The Fight Club actor reveals the film industry's top stars, who used to be able to demand upwards of $10 million per picture, have been taking pay cuts because movie bosses are unable to hand over such large salaries any more.

He tells BBC Newsbeat, "That thing died. That arithmetic doesn't really work right now... that deal's not flying these days... A lot of the studios have been challenged because o...

Brad Pitt is adamant politicians should ignore calls to outlaw firearms in the wake of the Colorado cinema massacre, insisting he only feels safe at home when he has a gun.

The Fight Club star is a lifelong lover of pistols and owned his first weapon - an air gun - when he was just a small child, and he's adamant lawmakers in his native country should not bow to public pressure to rescind its constitutional right to bear arms.

The actor is equally certain violent movies should not be censored, insisting it's vital to show the reality of tragedies such as the shooting rampage at a screen...

Tropical Storm Isaac is set to make landfall in the Gulf Coast on Tuesday, and it appears that the stars who own homes in New Orleans, Louisiana, aren't taking any chances. Isaac has been following the same track as Hurricane Katrina nearly seven years ago and is expected to become a hurricane before hitting land tomorrow.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock and John Goodman are among those who are closing the shutters and battening down the hatches at their pricy New Orleans digs. Of course, they likely have employees do it for them rather than themselves.

Pitt and Jolie are curren...

Rumors have been circulating for weeks that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are getting ready for their wedding in France. Well, over the weekend the A-list couple was spotted in the coastal town of Le Touquet, France, with four of their children. Perhaps they're gearing up for the big day?

Jolie visited the tiny town last September and flew in with her family via helicopter on Saturday, according to People.com.

Angie, Brad and Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 6, Knox 4, and Vivienne, 4, ate pizza for lunch at Au Bureau on Rue de Londres. Afterwards, they visited toy shop Culture Kid, where the children b...

NBC may have a problem if they want to interview Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt about their upcoming wedding or films. A source told RadarOnline that Jolie was disturbed by the way the network treated Ann Curry - and that if there were to be any future interviews, she would only do them with Curry.

"Angelina reached out to Ann Curry after she was fired from her gig on the TODAY show and was very clear, if ANY news program from NBC wants an interview with her, or Brad, Ann will be the only one to do it," the source told RadarOnline.

The reason for the loyalty? Jolie is reportedly grateful for...

Early this week, production was halted on the set of "Iron Man 3" after its star Robert Downey Jr. injured his ankle while performing a stunt. Marvel Studios confirmed this Thursday, saying there will be a short delay in film production. With all the things going on in movie sets and concert stages, being a star can sometimes be hazardous. Here are 10 other celebrities who were hurt while performing their jobs.

During the filming of "The Green Lantern," Ryan Reynolds separated his shoulder and he popped it back into place during the scene. He told People magazine, "My last injury was ...

Rumors have been circulating that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are tying the knot in a tiny French town this weekend; however, mayor Michael Latz of Correns has denied that he has any knowledge of the impending nuptials.

Angie and Brad own the 17th-century Chateau Miraval in Correns, which is reportedly where the couple is planning on holding their wedding.

Latz said, "It's nonsense. I've had 50 phone calls and I am telling everyone to get lost because this is tiresome and irritates me."

Of course, Latz wouldn't really be accountable if he was lying about his knowledge of the wedding. So...

Do Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie seem like the kind of couple who would overshadow Brad’s parents 50th wedding anniversary with their own wedding?

Or would it be the ultimate tribute to William and Jane Pitt?

Remember this is the Hollywood power couple, who didn’t want to get married until everyone (including gays) could tie the knot. They only agreed to get engaged, because their kids wanted them to. And, when they did it — it was silent and classy.

Angelina let her jeweler, Robert Procop, spread the news by reminding people about her jewelry collection to help build a school for the c...

Rumor has it that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will finally walk down the aisle this weekend, according to French website France3.fr.

The latest rumored date is Saturday, August 11 -- holding true to reports back in April that the couple would wed in either August or September -- but conflicting reports from the area say that despite "wedding activity" at the couple's 35-room vineyard Chateau Miraval in the south of France; as reported by France 3's Cote d'Azur regional news sources; it won't be happening this weekend.

Just days ago Celebuzz.com reported that Angelina's cousin, Martin Pou...

Forbes magazine has crunched the numbers and determined that Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z are the highest-earning couple in showbiz.

Over the last 12 months, the musical couple earned a staggering $78 million combined. Their daughter Blue Ivy Carter will certainly never be hungry. Or wear cheap clothing. Or attend public schools.

Beyonce took in $40 million all by herself from sponsorship deals, album sales and royalties from her back catalog, which includes albums such as "Dangerously In Love," "I Am...Sasha Fierce" and "4." We're sure she's not regretting breaking up Destiny's Child. S...

We spotted Brad Pitt showing off his usual sexy self on the set of "The Counselor" in London, England, on Saturday. We wonder if he watched any of the Olympics while he was there?

The actor filmed scenes with his stunt double wearing a gray suit and white button-down shirt. His brown hair was pulled back in a loose ponytail.

The film centers on a lawyer (Michael Fassbender) who gets in over his head when he becomes involved in drug trafficking. Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem also star.

Ridley Scott directs.

With all the temptations in Hollywood, it's not unusual for someone in a committed relationship to stray. In fact, these days it seems quite common for stars to cheat.

Sometimes actors begin their affairs while on the film set far from home. Other times they're marriages are failing, and they find new partners to make them happy.

Whatever the reason, people cheat. And if you happen to be famous, the world often hears about it.

Sandra Bullock took a chance when she married Jesse James. His first wife was a porn star, after all. Sandra and Jesse wed in 2005 and James' infidelity was expos...

What would top A-list stars such as The Kardashians, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Rihanna and Lady Gaga look like if they were just normal folks with normal lives? What would stars look like if they didn't have their makeup artists and personal trainers or the luxury of boatloads of money for plastic surgery - like Jennifer Aniston, who spent nearly $150,000 in 2011 as speculated by Yahoo.com's Shine earlier this year?

They'd probably look a lot like some of the masterful photo manipulations of pop artist Danny Evans.

The New York Based artist got his start giving stars like Par...

A bookseller in Brad Pitt's native Missouri has fueled speculation the actor's wedding is imminent by revealing he sold the groom-to-be's mother a special Bible as a gift for her son and his fiancee Angelina Jolie.

The couple became engaged earlier this year but both Pitt and Jolie have made it clear they're in no rush to wed.

However, it seems the nuptials are closer than most expected after Pitt's mom, Jane, purchased a Bible as a wedding gift to her son and future daughter-in-law.

Mardel Christian & Education salesman Kris Burnett tells In Touch magazine that Jane Pitt bought the good...

It's hard to believe Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's twins - Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon - turned four years old on Thursday. The two are the youngest siblings in the Pitt-Jolie brood, which also includes adopted children Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara, 7, and biological daughter Shiloh, 5.

The twins were born by Caesarian section at the Fondation Lenval hospital in Nice, France, on July 12, 2008. Vivienne was named after Angelina's mother, Marcheline Bertrand.

Shortly after they were born, Jolie talked about the difficulties of raising twins. "We're exhausted a lot, because it's twice ...

Brad Pitt's younger brother asked the movie star for advice before appearing in a commercial for Virgin Mobile in Australia.

In the quirky ad, photojournalist Doug Pitt, who is three years younger than Brad, takes viewers into his modest suburban home. He offers insight into how the "second most famous Pitt" lives. The commercial pokes fun at the disparity between the two brothers' lifestyles.

And Doug, 45, admits he sought permission from his older brother before committing to the project, even asking for acting tips.

Doug says, "He's been in this game 25 years and I've never stepped in...

Brad Pitt's mother has astounded the movie star's fans by writing an anti-President Barack Obama essay for her local Missouri newspaper.

Jane Pitt doesn't support her son and daughter-in-law-to-be Angelina Jolie's liberal sensibilities and that has been made clear in a letter printed in The Springfield News-Leader.

Urging her fellow Christians to vote for the President's Republican rival Mitt Romney in November, Mrs. Pitt calls Obama "a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage."

And Jane insists Obama is the wrong man to be running the country, adding, "...

Brad Pitt and Brad Paisley have taken top honors in a new poll to find the best celebrity dads in America.

Singer/songwriter Paisley beat Keith Urban and Tim McGraw to be named Country Big Daddy in the 2012 Big Daddy countdown, collated by officials at the On The Line National Prostate Cancer Awareness Campaign, while Pitt walked away with the movie prize and the honor for Biggest Daddy of them All.

Brad Pitt has stepped in to help director Andrew Dominik get his long-delayed Marilyn Monroe movie off the ground as the project's producer.

Naomi Watts was attached to play the iconic bombshell in Dominik's biopic Blonde, which stalled before shooting was scheduled to begin in January 2011.

He tells 24 Frames, "We're going to get this one done."

After Killing Them Softly received a 10 minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival, it appears Oscar buzz is growing early for a man that has yet to hoist an Academy Award: Brad Pitt.

Killing Them Softly, which also stars Ray Liotta, James Gandolfini and Richard Jenkins, follows a mob enforcer (Pitt) sent to clean-up a mob-protected poker game after a robbery. The film has received some flak for being set in 2008 and centering on the recent economic downturn, with some wondering if the story was taking shots at President Obama.

"Only part of that is true. The movie sets Obama's 2...

Brad Pitt has defended the level of violence in his new gangster movie Killing Them Softly, insisting gory scenes are "absolutely important to film."

The Hollywood actor plays a mob fixer opposite Ray Liotta in the movie, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in France this week.

It features a number of brutal and bloody murder scenes, but Pitt is adamant violence on the big screen is an important part of Hollywood and admits he would feel worse about playing a racist character than a cold-blooded killer.

He tells reporters at Cannes, "Violence is an accepted part of the gangste...

A newly engaged Brad Pitt attended the photocall for his new film "Killing Me Softly" as part of the 65th Cannes International Film Festival at the Palais des Festivals yesterday.

In the film, a robbery committed against the mob is investigated by a hitman's boss. Ray Liotta also stars and Andrew Dominik directs. The film is a comic gangster story with an undertone that attacks politicians' failure to address the economic crisis.

Pitt showed off his usual sexy self in a casual beige suit with white shoes, a white belt and white t-shirt. He is growing out his hair again (we're guessing for...
