Brad Pitt appears on the cover of the December issue of Vanity Fair, and boy is he mad about it…The question we have to ask is: Why?

He posed for the pictures, he signed a release, and according to the magazine and photographer they notified him before it went to press - a claim he denies.  What strikes me as particularly disingenuous on his part is the statement he issued questioning the “integrity” of Vanity Fair.

Question the integrity of Vanity Fair? C’mon, Brad. That’s a bunch of horsehockey. You may have been in Africa when the letter arrived, but it’s beyond the pale to imply that Vanity Fair is some kind of underhanded publication just because you don’t like the fact that they legally bought the rights to photos for which you posed.

Supposedly Brad Pitt’s lawyers are “weighing their legal options,” but other than filing some kind of frivolous action for publicity’s sake they don’t have any. Quite frankly it’s his statements about Vanity Fair that are more likely a cause for action, and I’m sure a lawyer worth half his salt would tell him so.
