Pitt 'would like to' marry Jolie, won't say if he's proposedWhen it comes to celebrity couples who have been together for so long some assume they've already wed, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are certainly prime examples. And yet, seven years and six kids later, they still haven't tied the knot, as they've famously said that they'll get married when it's legally possible for everyone to do so. However, 48-year-old Pitt thinks that they may not hold out. How Pitt helped Jolie make screenwriting debutMuch has been made of Angelina Jolie transitioning from actress to director with her latest feature "In the Land of Blood and Honey," but the pic is also her screenwriting debut. The 36-year-old tells CNN that at first, she simply wanted to put words to the page. "I sat down alone just to write something and I just did it in script form as an experiment, as a way of writing," Jolie explained. Angelina Jolie's backup plan? Funeral directorIf the acting thing ever falls to the wayside, maybe Angelina Jolie will reconsider a former goal: Becoming a funeral director. The 36-year-old Oscar winner told CBS' "60 Minutes" on Sunday that she had a plan in place if she couldn't find her way in Hollywood. "It sounds like this very strange, eccentric, dark thing to do but in fact I lost my grandfather and was very upset with the funeral," she said in the interview. "This whole idea of how somebody passes and how family deals with this passing and what death is should be addressed in a different way. If this whole acting thing didn't work out, that was going to be my path." Brad Pitt's plan: Quit acting, maybe add to broodTabloid editors are celebrating today: Brad Pitt revealed to Australia’s “60 Minutes,” via E! News, that he and partner Angelina Jolie might add to their brood. The 47-year-old actor also said, in three years, he’d like to quit acting and take a seat behind the camera. "I am really enjoying the producing side and development of stories and putting those pieces together," he said. "Getting stories to the plate that might have had a tougher times [sic] otherwise." Brad Pitt's advice for OWS protestersWhile promoting “Moneyball” in Japan, E! News reports that Brad Pitt had some words of wisdom regarding the Occupy Wall Street protests. His advice? Keep going, learn the issues and come up with a plan. Americans are questioning a “system that has not served us very well,” Pitt explained to Tokyo reporters of the current movement. He described a system “defined for corporate lobbyists instead of the best needs for the people, and people are feeling screwed a little bit there." The father of six also stressed that OWS protesters need to keep their momentum. "The most important thing," he said, is "not just getting swept up in the fervor of a fight. If you're feeling marginalized and frustrated, sometimes the release of a fight can pacify for the moment."
