Brad Pitt got up close and personal for yet another
W Magazine cover. While he's promoting
Benjamin Button, he also clears the air on all of the Jen and Angelina drama. Brad usually
doesn't address the so-called feud, but this time he defends his partner while also saying kind words about his ex-wife.

Celebrities delight in giving their offspring unusual names, and 2008 saw the birth of several uniquely named
babies. From the beautiful to the brilliantly bizarre, we were certainly treated to creative names this year. Take a look back at the best baby names of 2008 with me.

The notion of youth being wasted on the young is a compelling one, without a doubt. It inspired a famous
Mark Twain quote, which in turn inspired an F. Scott Fitzgerald short story, which has now lent its name to
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a film starring Brad Pitt as the title character, born old and destined to die young.

It was another big year for Brad, Angelina, and all of their little ones. 2008 started off with a bang with Angie's pregnancy, included big excitement over the Summer with the arrival with the twins, and was wrapped up with a bow with Brad and Angelina scoring multiple nominations for next year's award season. As always, there was a
bit of drama to go with all the fun — take a look back at some of the most memorable moments in the Jolie-Pitts' year.

Brad Pitt wore a
familiar travel outfit arriving at LAX last night just in time for his 45th bday today — happy birthday! In recent years
Angelina's surprised him with new motorcycles, but this time Brad sounds more interested in
homemade gifts from all the kids. Brad got an early morning present when
Benjamin Button was nominated for three
SAG awards, including an acting nod for Brad in addition to
one for Angelina's performance in
Changeling.

Brad Pitt snuggled into his warm jacket and scarf after dining in Berlin yesterday. Looks like Brad will be busy on the set of
Inglorious Bastards right until it's time to celebrate with that
adorable party of six, but we'd expect nothing less from the
hardest working celebrity of 2008. Brad recently opened up about his family's
gift-giving system and their plans for settling down.

Brad Pitt had his ticket in hand yesterday walking through LAX. He's been busy with all the promotion for
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, but while he jetted out of town, Angelina
hit the red carpet for the premiere of Clint Eastwood's
Gran Torino last night. Their kids spent the evening at home, and according to Angelina they were hard at work
making gingerbread houses.

The neutral tones make Brad Pitt's blue eyes stand out, along with the mustache of course, on the cover of this week's
Rolling Stone. His work in
Benjamin Button brings Angelina Jolie
nothing but pride, but your pick for
hardest working of 2008 already
lined up his next project playing a British spy in
The Lost City of Z. In the meantime, Brad spoke to the magazine about his dreams for the future, Proposition 8, and his kids.
