Brad Pitt sat down with Charlie Rose on CBS This Morning as part of his latest press tour for Moneyball. He's been promoting the movie, which is nominated for an Oscar, with appearances on The Daily Show, the Today show, and a taped episode of Inside the Actors Studio, which will air this Friday. In his most recent interview with CBS, Brad chatted about making the film, but also touched on his family life. He shared that the kids are used to the jet lag of the family's constant travels and that they have the responsibility of packing their own bags. Brad also responded to a clip of Angelina Jolie on 60 Minutes, confirming that "she's still a bad girl, delightfully so." Brad broke from his promotional duties yesterday, when he and Angelina took twins Knox and Vivienne to a screening of Lady and the Tramp in Hollywood.

Rich Creatives Honored To Raise Money For Poor Creatives at Pratt's Legends 2008 Scholarship Benefit

Last evening the Pratt Institute hosted its annual Legends 2008 Scholarship Benefit at Lighthouse at Pier 61 in Manhattan honoring Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel, Takashi Murakami, and Julian Schnabel with host PBS anchor Charlie Rose. Pratt, long treated as the younger sibling of powerhouses FIT and Parson's, has had a chance to shine with the Legends Awards which were conceived in 1999 by the Board of Trustees to celebrate distinguished figures in the world of art, design, and the humanities.  The event’s mission is to raise funds to provide financial aid to Pratt students based on need and merit.

Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel was honored for her decades of dedication and advocacy for the arts, design, architecture, and landmark preservation while Takashi Murakami received an award for his achievement in contemporary art. Lastly Julian Schnabel was honored for achievements in just about every area of the arts.

We personally love that while the event is clearly heavily skewed towards the rich creative set that Charlie Rose, one of America's favorite intellectuals, had the host duties. But we suppose with chair Marjorie Kuhn and trustees Kurt Andersen and Amy Cappellazzo there is a bit of the old New York diversity.

Charlie Rose Is Not a MacBook AirHead

Talk show host Charlie Rose was looking pretty banged up on his show last night.

Talk show host Charlie Rose was looking pretty banged up on his show last night. With a black eye and a bandage above his eyebrow, viewers couldn't help but wonder if the interviewer had been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Turns out Rose tripped in a pothole on 59th street in Manhattan yesterday. According to TechCrunch, he was carrying his brand-new MacBook Air and decided to protect the Air over his face. Although his face bore the brunt of the fall, his laptop is A-OK, with only a few blood stains from the incident. Charlie Rose, you are our new Apple superhero!
