THE NEW IMPROVED BRAD PITT

Here’s a rare glimpse of Brad Pitt– and it’s strictly business. He’s in Paris promoting his new film Bullet Train, which could turn out to be a blockbuster. He used to be spotted out and about in Hollywood frequently, but his marriages to two of the most famous women in the world taught him how to avoid paparazzi. He’s been hiding out at his Hollywood Hills Craftsman home of late. (Every time we shop at the Gelson’s at the bottom of his hill we look for him. No luck, but cashiers there see him occasionally.) Brad claims to have cleaned up the behavior that wrecked his marriages. With Jennifer Aniston, he admits he smoked pot and laid on the couch all day when he wasn’t working. With second wife Angelina Jolie, the problem was his drinking. He spent a year and a half in AA and even gave up smoking cigarettes. We’re guessing his next romance will be with a waitress or bit player – someone not famous…

BRAD PITT ISN’T TAKING ANY CHANCES

Right now, the world simply cannot get enough of Brad Pitt. He was the talk of the Golden Globes – and not just because Jennifer Aniston was there also. During his acceptance speech Brad thanked co-workers but deliberately NOT his kids. He knows that any reference to them will increase press curiosity and make them vulnerable. (Angelina, on the other hand, definitely does NOT mind being seen with the kids.) Brad reportedly did not drink at Globes parties – he’s in an all-male AA group and finds it inspiring. All-male is an excellent idea – that’s not a smart place to find romance.

HILARIA BALDWIN: DO BLONDES HAVE MORE BABIES?

Alec Baldwin’s wife Hilaria, 35, has never looked better – turning blonde definitely agrees with her. Certainly it helped lift her spirits after a recent miscarriage. Alex and Hilaria have four children under the age of six (Alex also has daughter, Ireland, with ex-wife Kim Basinger) and Alex, 61, is content with five kids, but he suspects his wife has other plans…

DID DRINKING CAUSE JASON SEGEL AND MICHELLE WILLIAMS TO BREAK UP, OR DID THE BREAK-UP CAUSE JASON TO DRINK?

As soon as we heard that comic Jason Segal appeared at an alcoholics Anonymous meeting last month, a lightbulb went off. THAT might explain why Michelle Williams and Jason split up. Before the February split they looked like a deliriously happy couple. But Michelle has a child, Matilda, and it’s possible that Jason’s party antics worried her. Granted, they live on two different coasts, but they also have flexible lives. Then we thought some more and it occurred to us that Jason might have been so devastated by the split that he took to the bottle. Either way, we’d like to see him clean up and win her back.
