Brad Pitt's Reverse Aging Amazes Tilda

Originally posted 03/24/2008 09:35AM

Just like Merlin the wizard, who "youthened" rather than get older, Brad Pitt plans to age backwards.

As Benjamin Button, in David Fincher's upcoming movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Pitt portrays someone suffering a rare reverse-aging condition – which costar Tilda Swinton says is amazing to behold.

"The programs they developed for that are just going to blow everything out of the water," the Michael Clayton Oscar-winner, 47, gushed to MTV News about the technology employed to speed up – and turn back – the clock on Pitt. "I think it’s going to be extraordinary."

Uncovered: Oscar-Night Jewel Heist

Originally posted 02/26/2008 08:45AM

In a scenario straight out of the movies, thieves executed a real-life Italian job by stealing millions of dollars worth of jewels Sunday.

Seven men dressed as police, who had evidently spent weeks digging a tunnel into the Milan showroom of Damiani, came through the cellar wall, tied up staff and within minutes made off with the jewelers' most valuable pieces, the BBC reports.

Luckily, at least a few pieces of Damiani's best were safely on display thousands of miles away at the Oscars in Hollywood.

It is reported that Michael Clayton's Tilda Swinton, who took the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, was wearing a diamond-studded bracelet provided by the jeweler.

Police are calling the job extremely professional and have little trace of the thieves.
