SWAT team raid Brad Pitt's World War Z

A SWAT team has raided the set of Brad Pitt's movie 'World War Z'.

The Special Weapons and Tactics unit was called to a warehouse in Budapest holding props for the horror apocalypse movie where they discovered and seized 85 weapons - including AK-47s and sniper rifles - which all contained live ammunition.

A police spokesperson told gossip website X17 the collection of assault rifles were a "disaster waiting to happen" and claimed an accident could easily have occurred with the loaded weapons.

This is not the only near disaster averted on set, 47-year-old Brad saved an extra from being trampled during a battle scene for the film in Glasgow, Scotland with 700 extras when she fell to the ground.

The quick-thinking actor scooped her up in his arms and put her back on her feet before she faced the risk of getting badly injured.

A source said: "Lots of people hurt themselves and Brad came to the rescue of one woman who slipped. I don't think she could believe it when Brad picked her up.

"He didn't have time to speak to her as it was mid-shoot. But she said afterwards how grateful she was, despite having a grazed knee."

Although the actress had her very own Hollywood hero to save her, many of the other extras weren't so lucky and were left with injuries following the dangerous battle scene.

The source added: "Loads of extras suffered bumps and scrapes. One extra playing a soldier was even hit by a moving car and ended up on the vehicle's bonnet, but fortunately he escaped unhurt."

The world's richest couples

3. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt: $50 million

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt came in third on list with an annual income of $50 million. Jolie currently holds the title as the highest-paid actress in the world and made $30 million for starring in only two movies in the 12-month period. Pitt, on the other hand, cashed in about $20 million, and has been keeping himself busy both as a producer and an actor.

Brad and Angelina charter train

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie chartered an entire train to transport their family from London to Glasgow, Scotland, today (16.08.11).

The couple took their brood - Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox - on the private Virgin train for the five-hour journey to the Scottish city, where the actor is set to shoot scenes for his new movie 'World War Z'.

A spokeswoman for Virgin Trains confirmed to Mail Online: "As far as I am aware, Brad and Angelina hired the whole train.

"It is a bespoke service so prices would vary on the individual, people have different needs from station requirements to catering."

The movie's creators are aiming to transform Glasgow into Philadelphia for the motion picture, with yellow taxis and white police cars, similar to those in the US city, set to be introduced, as well as signs for famous locations such as John F Kennedy Boulevard.

The 36-year-old beauty has recently been spotted out and about with the couple's children in Richmond, south west London, while the Hollywood hunk films 'World War Z' scenes on a ship in Falmouth, Cornwall.

Angelina took Shiloh and Zahara on a shopping spree to The Toy Station boutique in the town and was spotted leaving with various treats for her kids including cowboy guns, tattoo transfers, 'Ben 10' action figures and sticker packs.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sued

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are to be sued by a former employee.

The unnamed woman - who worked as a bilingual secretary at their Miraval chateau in the South of France - was dismissed by a manager at the estate while on sick leave on the grounds her absence impacted on the running of the property and is seeking 80,000 Euros in compensation for unfair dismissal.

Lawyer Emmanuel Ludot said: "It's a drop in the ocean for these stars.

"She has nothing against them personally and says she was always treated well. But they did not step in to prevent her being dismissed.

"Mr. Brad Pitt, who is also famous for his charity work and adoption of children, should understand that my client needs compensation as soon as possible, and that she's not asking for millions, just a fair amount for unfair dismissal.

"We hope they will both be faithful to their reputation for humanitarian causes."

The woman has remained anonymous due to confidentiality clauses in the contract she signed before being employed.

The lawyer said he has deliberately announced the matter now because the couple - Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, and six-year-old Zahara, as well as biological kids Shiloh, four, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne - are currently in France for the annual Cannes film festival.

A labour tribunal in Draguignan will rule on the case next month.

Brad Pitt plans private wedding

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are planning a small wedding.

The couple - who raise six children, Maddox, eight, Pax, six, Zahara, five, three-year-old Shiloh and 21-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne -are reportedly determined to shield their nuptials from the public and have decided to opt for a low-key affair in order to avoid accusations of wasting money.

A friend of the couple told America's OK! magazine: "Brad and Angelina are exceptionally private people, and they pride themselves on being humble and not wasting money.

"So some over-the-top, beachfront affair with hundreds of guests isn't going to happen."

It has been claimed the couple - who have been dating since meeting on the set of 2005 movie 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' - only decided to get married after their older children begged them to make their union official.

A source close to Brad - who was previously married to Jennifer Aniston - and Angelina said: "First it was Maddox, who has begged his parents to tie the knot for years.

"Lately, Shiloh and Zahara have been chiming in, and Pax thinks it would just be the coolest thing ever to be a ring bearer."

Angelina, 34, has previously admitted she and 46-year-old Brad are expecting the children to eventually start questioning why they had never got married.

She said: "Usually people fall in love and everything revolves around the ritual of marriage, children are an afterthought. We did everything backwards.

"But sooner or later it will be the kids who ask us to get married. You know, they see films and start asking questions. Such as, 'Why are Shrek and his love Fiona married and you're not?' "

Brad and Angelina to marry

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly getting married.

The couple - who have been together since meeting on the set of 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' in 2005 - have finally given into the pleas of their older children, Maddox, eight, Pax, six, Zahara, five, and three-year-old Shiloh and agreed to tie the knot.

A source close to the couple - who also have 22-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne - told America's OK! magazine: "First it was Maddox, who has begged his parents to tie the knot for years. "Lately, Shiloh and Zahara have been chiming in, and Pax thinks it would just be the coolest thing ever to be a ring bearer."

Brad Pitt chooses kids over cash

Brad Pitt reportedly turned down $5 million for a public appearance to spend time with his children.

The 'Burn After Reading' star had been due to attend the Grand Prix Ball Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates on October 31, but failed to show up.

Photographs later revealed he had joined partner Angelina Jolie and their six children trick-or-treating for Halloween in Los Angeles.

A source told Life and Style magazine: "He's spending more time with the family and doing less of these appearances, even though it's a huge sum of cash."

A spokesperson for the event - which featured performances from Beyonce Knowles, Aerosmith and Timbaland, and raised money for clean water charity Fresh2o - admitted Brad had been expected to attend and was unsure why he had shunned the huge appearance fee.

James Magee, a representative for Global Event Management, said: "We were told he would be attending as the guest of the Tourism Development and Investment Company. But he was a no-show, and nobody seemed to know why."

Butt spy Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt has joked he takes photos of "other people's wives' butts".

The 'Inglorious Basterds' actor claims he would never take a sneaky picture of his long-term partner Angelina Jolie's behind, but is happy to appreciate the shapely rears of married women.

When asked what he thought of Ashton Kutcher posting a photo of his wife Demi Moore's butt on his Twitter account, Brad laughed: "Don't take a picture of your wife's butt. That's silly. Take pictures of other people's wives' butts."

Brad, who was giving advice in a spoof column for Wired magazine, also warned against posting photographs of your genitals on the internet.

The 45-year-old Hollywood hunk claims it is acceptable to send text messages while using the bathroom, but urged people to ensure they press the right buttons to prevent an embarrassing incident.

Brad said: "You should only text in the bathroom. Just be sure you don't hit the wrong button and end up putting a photo of your junk on Twitter. Trust me, you don't want those followers."

Although Brad - who raises six children with Angelina - condones sending text messages while on the toilet, he would never make a phone call.

He added: "No, you can't talk on the phone in the bathroom! Do you want the guy next to you to hear your entire conversation?"

Jolie warns Aniston: Stay away from my partner

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has warned Jennifer Aniston to stay away from her partner Brad Pitt and has asked her to stop sending text messages to him.

According to dailymail.co.uk, Jolie is apparently not very happy with Aniston still being close to Pitt. Reports claim that Jolie sent the messages from Pitt's mobile and signed off with the initials AJ.

There are reports that Aniston has been sending gifts to Pitt at his office in Los Angeles. She is trying to stay close to her ex-husband just in case his relationship with Jolie doesn't work out.

"Jen is such a thoughtful person. She sends little gifts to his Plan B production offices in LA if she spots something he might like. And she'll send him daily motivators - quotes from self-help books she reads about staying positive. It must really lift his spirits," said a source close to them.

Brad Pitt baseball drama strikes out

Just days away from the start of shooting, Columbia has taken Steven Soderbergh's baseball drama "Moneyball" starring Brad Pitt off the field.

Pulling the plug this close to production is extremely rare for studios but sources said Columbia's president of production Amy Pascal wasn't comfortable with the script, which had changed considerably since the movie was greenlit.

The decision, which was made Friday, mystified many since the picture was crewed up and scheduled to start shooting this week, with some wondering how issues with the script could give a studio cold feet so late in the game.

Steven Zaillian and Soderbergh wrote the screenplay (with the most recent barely a week old), adapting Michael Lewis' nonfiction book about the Oakland Athletics and their GM Billy Beane, who assembled a contending ballclub despite having a payroll much lower than other Major League teams.

Pitt and comedian Demetri Martin were the major actors cast, with other roles to be played by actual baseball players. Soderbergh also shot interviews with real baseball figures, which were going to be interspersed between the narrative.

Pascal had not seen the interviews and some insiders suggest there was a disconnect about the kind of baseball drama the exec and the filmmaker wanted to make. Pascal was leery, the sources said, fearing the film lacked emotion.

Pascal is a big fan of the book and allowed Soderbergh to shop the project over the weekend to Warner Bros., which once housed Soderbergh's shingle Section Eight, and Paramount, home to Pitt's Plan B. The companies would have to act fast as the production and its staff can only sit idle so long. If no one snags the package, Columbia could take another crack at it, and try to sync up Soderbergh's and the studio's vision.

Brad Pitt and Jolie help refugees

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated another $1 million to charity.

The Hollywood couple have pledged the staggering sum through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation to help refugees fleeing the Taliban in Pakistan.

Antonio Guterres, head of the United Nations Refugee Agency, has thanked Brad and Angelina for their generosity.

He said: "The situation in Pakistan is the most challenging humanitarian crisis of the past decade."

Earlier this week, Angelina - who has visited Pakistan three times in recent years - recorded a message highlighting the plight of displaced people living in war torn regions.

The 34-year-old actress - who is a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commission on Refugees - says in the video: "Please don't turn away. Refugees are the most vulnerable people on Earth. Every day, they are fighting to survive. They deserve our respect. Please do not forget them. Remember them on this day. World Refugee Day."

World Refugee Day will be held on Saturday (20.06.09), but Angelina is to mark the day along with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Washington today (18.06.09).

The donation comes just days after they gave $1 million to St. John's Hospital in Brad's hometown of Springfield, Missouri.

The money will be used to establish an endowment fund to pay for children's cancer specialists and will also go towards building a new paediatric unit.

Brad Pitt, family give $1M to Missouri hospital

Brad Pitt and his siblings have given $1 million to help a Missouri hospital open a new pediatric cancer center that will be named for their mother.

Pitt and his siblings' families, Doug and Lisa Pitt and Rob and Julie Neal, gave the money to St. John's Hospital in Springfield, Mo., on Saturday in honor of their mother's passion for children's issues.

The hospital is opening the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center this summer in the town where Pitt and his siblings grew up. The donation will pay to hire the only pediatric oncologist and hematologist in the southwest Missouri region.

The new center will make St. John's one of six affiliates of St. Jude's Children's Research in Memphis, Tenn., meaning the center will be able to participate St. Jude's clinic research trials.

Brad Pitt keeps kids away from Basterds

Brad Pitt's 'Inglourious Basterds' co-stars were disappointed they didn't meet his children.

Samm Levine revealed cast and crew begged Brad - who has adopted kids Maddox, seven, Pax, five, and four-year-old Zahara and biological children Shiloh, three, and 10-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne with partner Angelina Jolie - to bring his kids to work, but he only introduced them to Maddox.

Samm explained: "He brought Maddox one or two times because he's the oldest. But everybody wanted him to bring the others, too. Everyone would always ask him, 'Hey! When are you going to bring the kids?' And he said, 'It's a World War II movie. What's a good day to bring my kids to this set? I don't think it would be right.' So he had a point there. And we were all pretty bummed about that, but we respected his reasoning. He's a pretty responsible guy."

Samm - who plays Private First Class (PFC) Gerold Hirschberg in the new movie, about a group of soldiers who are tasked with killing Nazi army members - added working with Brad has given his love life an unexpected boost.

He added to 'E!': "Women want to know what parts of my body touched Brad's! Unfortunately, it's mostly my hand. I shook his hand. Maybe a pat on the shoulder."
