Originally posted 06/02/2009 11:00AM
While filming Quentin Tarantino's movie about World War II, Inglourious Basterds, superdad Brad Pitt offered up some unconventional hygiene tips for his sometimes smelly costars.
"He shared that when you're sweating and don't have time to take a shower, you just take a baby wipe and rub it under your armpits," Pitt's costar and pal Eli Roth told PEOPLE at Saturday's Spike TV Guys Choice 2009 in Los Angeles, set to air on the cable network June 21 at 10 p.m.
"After a scene, Brad had to get next to me for a close-up shot, and he said, 'Damn, you're ripe,' " recalls Roth, 37. "I said, 'I didn’t have time to shower.' He said, 'Baby wipes, man, baby wipes.' "

Brad Pitt is going to Cannes – and means to win.
The star's WWII action film, the intentionally misspelled Inglourious Basterds, has been invited to this year's May 13-24 Cannes Film Festival, and the film's director, Quentin Tarantino, has not only accepted the call, Variety reports, he's agreed to allow the picture into competition.
The trade paper further reports that Tarantino has promised the Weinstein Company and Universal that his Dirty Dozen-style adventure about Jewish-American commandos battling Nazis will be ready in May. The movie is scheduled to open to the public Aug. 21.

Brad Pitt Gets in Gear for Tarantino War Movie
Originally posted 10/20/2008 03:10PM
In Brad Pitt's upcoming World War II movie, he plays a vengeance-seeking Nazi hunter – and he looks the part.
The first portrait of Pitt’s character, Lt. Aldo Raine, in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds (yes, the misspelling is intentional), was released Monday. Clad in tough-looking fighter gear, Pitt portrays the leader of the "Basterds," a group of Jewish-American soldiers who scalp and brutally kill Nazis.
Pitt’s character is described on Tarantino.info as not "your Warner Brothers 1950's WW2 hero … this is a hillbilly straight from the mountains of Tennessee."
Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their six children recently moved to a Berlin villa while he works on the controversial film.

BARRED: The man accused of stalking tennis star Anna Kournikova has been ordered to stay at least 1,000 feet away from the tennis player – if he ever gets out of jail, the Associated Press reports. William Lepeska, 40, was arrested Jan. 30 after swimming nude across Florida's Biscayne Bay toward Kournikova's home, where he surfaced at a residence several houses away from hers. Lepeska, who once served time for stabbing a college student, faces charges of battery on police officers, resisting arrest, burglary, and more. If convicted, he may be sentenced up to 30 years in state prison.
