Pitt Furious Over Vanity Fair Cover


Brad Pitt is furious that a photograph of him taken by artist Robert Wilson last year has wound up on the cover of an issue of Vanity Fair. The Troy star's lawyers are currently considering legal action against the magazine, insisting the actor had no idea he was going to appear on the December cover. Pitt is seen posing in a blue colored photo in nothing but white boxer shorts, socks and holding a gun while appearing to be drenched with water. According to entertainment website Tmz.com, Pitt had agreed to be in Wilson's avant-garde video art project in September and signed a legal release at the time for the still and video images taken in the shoot, but had no idea they would ever be used for a magazine cover. Pitt's representative says, "We are very disappointed that Vanity Fair has chosen to put an unauthorized cover on their magazine. It seriously makes me question their integrity and motives." Representatives for Vanity Fair have hit back at the allegations saying, "In a letter dated October 5, 2006, and sent to Pitt care of Brillstein-Grey (Pitt's managers), Wilson informed Pitt that a still image from this portrait was going to be featured in the December art issue of Vanity Fair." A source claims the star never saw the letter. The Vanity Fair representative adds, "Brad Pitt posed for a Robert Wilson video portrait, and in the photo release (signed by Pitt), agreed to allow Wilson to use the portrait or any images from that sitting in connection with any publicity on Wilson's video project. Vanity Fair decided to do a story on Wilson's video portraits and obtained rights to the entire collection of photographs from those sittings, which included Pitt's."

Well, I for one, LOVE the pix Brad! And I am the one that matters here, so get over it.

I find it funny that BP's rep is worried about someone else's integrity.

Why does he care if anyone sees him in his underwear? We've seen all his goods already, some damn boxers aren't going to make a difference. Is he just mad that he's not the one getting paid from this?

You know how you signed that thingie with that shiny pen that you were so into? Well, see, that's called a r-e-l-e-a-s-e. It means it no longer matters what you think or feel about how those images are used. Now, try and retain this in your pea-sized brain for next time.

He's just mad because it was a ridiculous picture and it made him look stupid.

He should get over it. Like it's going to hurt his image.

Now I see why he is suing mad, he looks like a wimp in that pic, and his boxer shorts are pretty empty (in the you know what area). I wonder how well this issue of VF will sell, I doubt too many people will be buying though, he has lost a lot of his fans.
