She told USA TODAY how nice Smith was to her (and everyone else) when she attended a “Men in Black” soundtrack signing when she was 15: “We were the last people he met. I said, ‘I don’t care if I ever get that famous: I will always be like him.’”
PRAISING PITT: Brad Pitt has also made an impression with his kindness…and generosity. A security guard at Chicago’s Field Museum reportedly told USMAGAZINE.COM that Brad & Angelina Jolie “were a nice couple when they brought their kids for a visit last weekend, and claimed that Brad gave him a $300 tip for “looking after the family” while they were there.
AMICABLE PARTING: Jennifer Aniston & British model Paul Sculfor have “gone their separate ways” and are focusing on their respective careers, PEOPLE reports, but Sculfor’s rep reportedly said that “they are friends.” Aniston and Sculfor were rumored to be in a budding relationship earlier this summer.
SUPER SEACREST: The Fox network is hoping to make “friends” with non-sports fans by hiring Ryan Seacrest as the master of ceremonies for their Super Bowl coverage. VARIETY reports that Seacrest will handle pre-game hosting duties as celebrities stream in to the game this February. The hiring of a red carpet host is a “first” for a Super Bowl telecast.
