Conscience & Morality Tales

Brad Pitt is giving away a lot these days what with cocktail parties and his hand in marriage to Jolie, but he is also the new face of humanitarianism.  Pitt is backing Global Green USA on a project to find environmentally-friendly designs for rebuilding New Orleans.  Pitt wishes to make the Louisiana city better yet “respect traditions” and will lead a panel of experts to pick the winning design.  The winner is to be selected on the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina on August 29th.

Pitt states, “We could possibly build something that was better and took into account the historical traditions of the city and the voices of the people and turn this into some kind of good.”

“Our goal is to actually implement them and to get them built and hopefully give a kick-start to a much needed redevelopment process.”

Brad Pitt is currently in Namibia with Angelina Jolie & family.  He has not addressed the rumors regarding a wedding ceremony or that he was voted #100 on the ‘100 Unsexiest Men in the World‘ list.  He did, however, give us the following quotes. 

“Namibia’s just a country we’re very fond of.  It’s a beautiful land and hospitable people and a place that we want to be for the time being.”

With Kevin Federline on the verge of releasing his irksome monster to the public at large- Oh! I’m sorry, I’ll start over…  With Kevin Federline on the verge of releasing his much-talked-about-but-not-because-it’s-going-to-be-awesome album to the public at large, I thought we’d do a little refresher. 

It was a night like any other night in November 2005, the birds were singing, the trees were swaying and Late Night with Conan O’Brien was just starting.  The show aired soon after the lyrics from some of K-Fed’s lyrics were “leaked” on the web.  Conan was interested to see what the dancer/Britney Spears boy toy had to offer.  O’Brien invited Federline to the show to perform one of his songs, but Kevin declined, too bad, so sad. 

Fortunately for us, Conan asked Inside the Actor’s Studio host James Lipton to come aboard that evening to recite K-Fed’s “Ya’ll Ain’t Ready for This” lyrics.  It was, in one word, hilarious and my respect for Lipton went from ground zero to ground zero + 1. 

The lyrics are as follows:

I shouldn’t be sayin’ keep
My damn name outcha mouth
But y’all keep increasin’ my change …
Go ahead and say whatcha wanna
I’m gonna sell about 2 mil
Uh, then I’m goner, uh
I know y’all wishin’ you was in my position
Cause I keep gettin’ into situations
That you wish you was in, cousin
I’m not your brother, I’m not your uncle, I’m Daddy do
Steppin’ in this game and y’all ain’t got a clue
My prediction is that y’all are gonna hate
On the style we create, straight 2008
But I know that you really can’t wait
Because people always askin’ me
When’s the release date?
Well maybe, baby, you could wait and see
Until then all these Pavarottis followin’ me
Gettin’ anxious? Go take a peek
I’m starrin’ in your magazines
Now every day and week
Back then, they call me K-fed
But you can call me Daddy instead
Back then, they call me K-fed
But you can call …

I have to say, it was refreshing to see & hear Lipton say, “But you can call me Daddy instead.”  And I’m going to go ahead and say it by god, Lipton’s performance, I’m afraid, it’s going to be 1,235,487,934,564,144 times better than anything Federline will be able to whip up.
