Brad Pitt is teaming with Kiehl’s, a beauty products company, for a good, green cause. And in doing so, the star is putting his unique spin on the concept of the celebrity endorsement!
Pitt’s famous face and name will be nowhere to be found on any of the beauty firm’s commercials or skin, hair and body care goods, says New York magazine. Save for his handwriting reproduced on a new product, he figures in via a purely philanthropic role.

So, how does it work? Kiehl’s will debut its Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser (made entirely of biodegradable ingredients) this October, and 100 percent of the profits will go toward raising money for JPF Eco Systems, an environmental charity Pitt co-founded with the beauty company, says NY magazine.

George Clooney has revealed he’d be willing to strip off if he looked more like Brad Pitt.

The Hollywood hunk, 47, says he would happily pose in his underwear if he was “built” like his Ocean’s 13 co-star.

“It wouldn’t look good for me, particularly in my boxers,” he says.

“If I was built like Brad Pitt I’d do it all the time. Wouldn’t you?”

The Leatherheads star also said he admires what Pitt, 44, does to help others, particularly the relief work he and partner Angelina Jolie, 33, are doing for the victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.

Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle, George Clooney and other cast members of the Ocean’s trilogy have paid tribute to their co-star Bernie Mac, after his he passed away due to complications from pneumonia on Saturday.
As word spreads, tributes are pouring in from the funnyman’s friends and colleagues.

Brad Pitt: “I lament the loss of a ferociously funny and hardcore family man. My thoughts are with [his wife] Rhonda and their family. Bernie Mac, you are already missed.”

Brad Pitt played doting dad on his son Maddox’s 7th birthday Tuesday — by spending a little one-on-one time go karting.

The Hollywood hunk — whose partner Angelina Jolie gave birth their fifth and sixth children in July — took Maddox to a go-kart race track near their $70 million French chateau.

There was no sight of Angelina or newborn twins Knox and Vivienne.

It’s not the first time Brad, 44, and Maddox have shown their need for speed.

In June, Pitt took his son to the the Italian Grand Prix in Scarperia, Italy.

“Brad was really protective of Maddox,” a witness told Us Weekly at the time. “Often, Maddox would tap Brad’s leg so he could be lifted up, and Brad would always do it willingly.”

In this week’s issue (#1033) of HELLO Magazine, the glamorous couple reveal in an exclusive interview with HELLO! just how they and their four older children, Maddox, 7, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and two-year-old Shiloh, are finding life since the twins’ arrival.

On breast feeding the twins:
Angelina: They are on the same schedule. They eat every three hours and I’m getting better at holding them both for breast-feeding at the same time, so that helps. Usually the other kids come in and hold them when they finish. They help with the baths and the changing.
Brad: We try to get them to eat simultaneously for the sake of management, but it gets a little crowded at the bar!

On finding out you were having twins:
Angelina: We were in shock and could not stop laughing.
Brad: We bust into hysterics. My sister had made a joke about twins literally the night before, because my grandparents and sis both had twins. Angie was on the table during the sonogram, and we were in hysterics.
We didn’t see this one coming.

On choosing the names Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline:
Brad: The name Vivienne came to us early, as if she named herself. She has always been Viv. And Marcheline is to honour Angie’s late mother. Knox is a family name - my grandfather’s - and Leon is a classic French name.

On their personalities:
Brad: I dare to say that Viv is proving to resemble Angie in spirit, attitude and physicality. She is quite elegant like her mother. And Knox, he’s a bit of me. He likes music like his dad. When he was born he looked like Putin!

On Maddox as a big brother:
Brad: This is Mad’s fourth and fifth time at becoming an older bro. He’s asking us when we can have more!
