The movie won't hit theaters until September – but here's a peek at Brad Pitt, in character, as a hapless gym employee who intercepts a CD with CIA secrets from the Coen Brothers' Burn After Reading.

The film, which is set to open at the Venice Film Festival in August, revolves around a fired CIA agent (played by John Malkovich) whose memoir – containing government secrets – gets intercepted by his wife (Tilda Swinton) who wants to use it in her divorce proceedings. But, oops, the information winds up with Pitt and Francis McDormand's characters.

George Clooney kept his feet on the ground when he was named PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive – twice! But his 2005 Oscar triumph for Syriana went straight to his head.

"It makes me much harder to live with," the Best Supporting Actor winner told Britain's morning chat-fest, GMTV, on Wednesday.

In fact, the 46-year old admits he often lords his big win over Oscar-less pal Brad Pitt.

"That's what I enjoy doing with Brad – is gloating," Clooney joked.

Brad Pitt's Philanthropy Runs in the Family

Originally posted 04/03/2008 10:40AM

For years, friends in Springfield, Missouri, have remarked on the physical resemblance between Brad Pitt and his only brother, Doug. But the two share a deeper similarity: their commitment to charitable causes.

On Wednesday, Doug announced the creation of the Care to Learn Fund, a program designed to meet the immediate health, hunger, and hygiene needs of students enrolled in Springfield Public Schools, where both Brad and Doug spent their early years.

"Springfield is an awesome city," Doug told PEOPLE. "But like every city in America, we have poverty here. We have kids coming to school wearing shorts in 20-degree weather. We have kids who are hungry. We have girls who don't come to school because they don't have feminine products."

Are George Clooney and Brad Pitt Having a 'Bromance'?

Originally posted 04/03/2008 12:40PM



George Clooney has just been too public with his current personal relationship – so much so, that Meredith Vieira confronted a slightly unnerved Clooney about it after he discussed his new movie Leatherheads on Thursday's Today show. No, Vieira wasn't referring to Clooney and gal pal Sarah Larson, but, as the televised photos of the couple together showed, Clooney and Brad Pitt. Clooney, who never unfolded his arms, said the tone of Vieira's voice tipped him off to what she was going to say, though, when asked if, indeed, the two are having a "bromance," Clooney would only concede that pal Pitt is "very handsome." As for the rumor that he's to be named godfather of Pitt and Angelina Jolie's children, Clooney answered, "No, but I do enjoy hearing it."

Jolie, who stars in the action film Wanted, opening in June, is pregnant and due later this year.

Having survived working with filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen on 2000's O Brother, Where Art Thou? and 2003's Intolerable Cruelty, one would think George Clooney would know how to go with their flow. Guess again.
