Here is the full Sawyer article:



NEW YORK - Brad Pitt is taking on poverty and AIDS in Africa — and the tabloids. In an hour-long ABC "Primetime Live" special set to air Tuesday night (10 p.m. ET), Pitt talks to Diane Sawyer about the humanitarian crisis in Africa.

"I can't get out of the press. These people can't get in the press. So let's redirect the attention a little bit," he tells Sawyer.

"We have the potential to end poverty (in Africa) in our time. ... Man — I mean, what is more exciting than that? The potential's there. We gotta go for it."

Pitt separated from Jennifer Aniston in January after 4 1/2 years of marriage. Aniston, 36, filed for divorce in March, citing irreconcilable differences.

He calls tabloid speculation that his "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" co-star Angelina Jolie played a role in the breakup of his marriage "a good story."

Says Sawyer: "But that's painful too.

"Yeah, but, well, listen, let me speak from my experience," he says. "You know I've been in these tabloids for 14 years now. And at some point you just become a Zen master of it all."

He calls the media focus on his personal life "misguided," and denies that he wanted children and Aniston didn't.

"Ridiculous ... completely fabricated," the 41-year-old actor says. "You know, you find that these stories ... will turn one of us into the good guy and one of us into the bad guy. ... Most of these stories, you get probably 2 percent real fruit juice and the rest is just garbage with no nutritional value."

Photos of Pitt, Jolie — who turned 30 on Saturday — and her 4-year-old son, Maddox, walking together on a beach in Africa were published in April. Did he know there would be cameras there?

"You know, obviously not," he says. "I mean, it's an amazing fact, the bounty that's on my head and the lengths that these people go to get these shots and the amount of money that they're paying for these shots . ... I can't help but think what that money could have gone to. ... I would have set up the damn pictures myself."

However, Pitt says he dreams of having a family someday.

"Just feels like a natural progression," he tells Sawyer. "And, you know, anything to get the focus off myself. It's gotta be a healthy thing."

Time for a new thread...

[reallymadrid23]

Earlier this morning, Diane Sawyer was on Regis and Kelly, and talked about her Primetime interview with Brad which is airing tonight, Regis asked Diane if Brad is in love with Angelina?

Diane paused and said "I think he is very careful in regards of allowing anyone behind the curtain that is his personal life". "He is respectful to a great deal of people's feelings and he doesn't want to cause anyone harm," so she said you have to decide yourself from his words." Ant d then Kelly asked Diane if Brad asked about her lol, and Dane replied back, well Brad was wondering if her husband Mark was gonna be starring with Angelina in a movie soon or sumthing like that

Now, after hearing Diane's answer to Regis's question as to whether or not he's in love with Angelina, don't you guys get the feeling that Diane knows he is dating Angelina, but she's not gonna say anything because she wants to respect Brad and Angelina's decision to stay mum on thier relationship?

Sixty pages! SIXTY! Plus, W always has the best layouts. My bookstore better have a copy of the issue .. right away.

Those are SO hot. Someone in NYC better get that magazine and scan those photos. I don't think I can handle 60 photos of those two together.

[*reza*]

I know! And it just kills me because I know that my bookstore will be super late in getting W in stands. If i go to the city in the near future, I'll definitely pick it up.

Jeez. Sixty pages of glossy wonderfulness. I cant wait.
