Brad Pitt's Peeping Paparazzo
This is one Spy Game Brad Pitt didn't sign up for.
The Hollywood star called police Sunday after catching a paparazzo peering through the window of his Malibu home attempting to snap pictures of Pitt in his living room.
Pitt spotted the shutterbug prowling around his property around 7:30 p.m., hours after he returned from a day at the beach with Angelina Jolie and her two adopted children, Maddox and Zahara. That excursion had also been captured by various photographers and will soon appear in a supermarket aisle near you.
Pitt's publicist, Cindy Guagenti, says that the prying photographer bolted from the scene as soon as he was discovered by the actor. Pitt reported the intruder to the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Department, but the paparazzo managed to escape.
"If they continue to trespass, they will be arrested," Guagenti told E! Online.
"What's it going to take really? He was photographed on the beach and that's accepted, but having someone lurking around your property...it's not fair."
This is the second time in a month that Pitt's had a paparazzi problem.
In early October, three Pitt-hungry photographers--an Italian, an American and a Canadian--were arrested by Canadian Mounties after trespassing on the closed set of his latest movie, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, which is filming outside of Calgary. The western hits theaters sometime next year.
Guagenti also shot down British tabloid reports that Pitt and Jolie, who have yet to officially confirm their romantic status, were rumored to be planning a Buddhist wedding.
"It's not true. It's completely made up," the rep said.
When not shooting down marriage rumors, dodging paparazzi or starring in movies, Pitt is becoming quite the do-gooder. The 41-year-old actor has been using his celebrity status to put the spotlight on an issue he's become quite passionate about--Third World poverty and the spread of infectious diseases.
He has agreed to narrate a six-hour PBS documentary titled Rx for Survival: A Global Health Challenge. It will examine the crisis facing the global medical community in combating drug resistant strains of TB and other infectious diseases menacing the world's poor.
"I've had the luxury of travel and, in the luxury of travel, I've seen the detriments of poverty and I've gone on to see how easy the cures can be--cures that cost cents to the richest nations in the world," says Pitt, who first revealed his burgeoning activism in a June interview with Primetime Live's Diane Sawyer.
Rx for Survival began airing Tuesday on PBS affiliates and concludes its three-night run on Thursday.
