For the record, we're pretty much tuning out the juicy gossip blog rumor mill and tabloid speculation about Brad Pitt's split with Angelina Jolie. However, one standout item recently caught our attention. According to a report in yesterday's London Daily Mail, Pitt discretely purchased a $1.13 million bachelor pad in the Hollywood Hills. The price appears to be relatively low for a movie star who can ask for at least $20 million a film. In the meantime, the Real Estalker, one of the biggest celebrity real estate blogs, is also skeptical about the purchase and we're not entirely sure if the Daily Mail's report has any validity.

Usually we don't care about the real estate transactions of Hollywood's rich and famous. However, if the reports about Pitt's new Hollywood bungalow are true, the property's most outstanding and coveted feature is an impressive man cave. According to Curbed LA, the property was a speakeasy in the 1920s. The house was built during the Jazz Age and a cave was installed into its foundation. This is presumably where copious amounts of bootlegged booze were stashed during Prohibition. The house also has a bar and a huge stone fireplace. We can easily envision Pitt pimping out his new subterranean grotto with a pool table, a dart board, and home theater. On the same note, it's also not difficult to imagine Pitt kicking back with George Clooney and the rest of the "Oceans 11" crew over late-night cigars and scotch in his bona fide basement watering hole. As you probably know, we love pictures of awesome man caves and property porn here at BroBible. Check out Pitt's spectacular new digs and man cave after the jump.  Keep Reading »

After leafing through the newest issue Playboy and baring witness to Farrah Fawcett's super-human rocket nipples and then reading our article on cougar hunting from last week, I decided to sit myself down -- on the shitter -- and ask myself a life- and even shit density-changing question. Which 10 celebrities, among the living and over the age of 40, would I really love to fuck?

The above is one of life's most intricate, and yet delicate, questions. Can there really be a wrong answer? After all, an individuals' picks are based on personal preference and whose hip he would really want to break or at the very least painfully displace. But, I suppose if I said I wanted to fuck Oprah Winfery, I'd lose all credibility, my job at BroBible, and hopefully the use of my penis. So perhaps there can be a few incorrect responses.  Keep Reading »

On a bus ride home this weekend from a lax tournament, my fellow lax rats and I got to talking. We had a great weekend. The team got so rowdy at a campus bar that they strung up a piata for us and invited the biggest sorority on campus to come get wet on our denim boners. Amidst all of the farting, high-fiving, and recapping of a crazy night out on the town, we stumbled upon something profound:

Someone asked me what my favorite Will Smith movie was. I sat there deep in thought as one of my roommates emphatically shouted, "Independence Day!" Boos started raining in from all over the place. Fuck them. That was a great movie.  Keep Reading »

In the field of slaying, Hollywood actors, million dollar athletes, and famous musicians generally take the top honors. In these high-profile industries, the men who live the bachelor lifestyle are usually the ones who go on crazy killing sprees, crushing chick after voluptuous chick, a la Vincent Chase in "Entourage." To a single man in any on of these fields, going from broad to broad is as rudimentary as not flushing the toilet is to you or me. No thought needed whatsoever, because really, who doesn't want to see my four-hour-old shit coiled up like a snake the next time they use the bathroom?

Although I am green with envy because these gents basically get more pussy than a litter box, I will admit that they deserve their praise. Accolades are especially warranted for those males who have made a real nice name for themselves as perpetual playboys.


Bradley Cooper
Why he is the man: B. Coop, as his friends call him (non-factual), has hit the ground running in recent years. As a fucking snot-nosed prick in "Wedding Crashers" and a cool and collected stud in "The Hangover," it's no wonder why Jennifer Aniston wants to eat the moldy cheese from his taint. Coop isn't the richest kid on the block yet, but we have a feeling he is going to be swimming in his millions in years to come.

Why a bro should love him: He is about to star in the movie remake of the A-Team as Faceman. No one can replace Mr. T and his generous amounts of pity, but hopefully in this version people will actually get hit by bullets and die slow, horrific deaths.  Keep Reading »

Here's part 2 of BroBible's interview with this week's Bro Entrepreneur, Hollywood agent Ben Press. Click here to read part 1.

BroBible: Most of our readers hear the word "agent" and think Jerry Maguire or Ari Gold. What do those two characters capture accurately about the business, and what does someone who only watches "Entourage" but has never step foot in L.A. not understand about being an agent?

Ben Press: You know what's funny, when I was growing up in this business, I was, as I mentioned before, at ICM, which is a venerable, wonderful agency. But I would get calls from the buyers I knew -- the people who would buy our clients, the people I was pitching our clients to, people I would have good relationships with and still do - and these people would say to me, \`Wow, you're not like an ICM agent. You don't remind me of an ICM agent.' Which funny enough, there's good agents who were there then and that are there now, and this is not a strike on them, but there was a real kind of biting aspect that was associated with agenting and you see it on "Entourage," it can be effective. But that wasn't, I'm much more of - put it this way, there was a way of governing that George W. Bush had, and a way of governing that Barack Obama has, which is embrace your enemies, try and make things happen, keep your cool, and it's very effective as we've seen. That's kind of my brand of agenting I've always espoused. That's just the way I am. I couldn't take on that bark that saber rattling in a way that other agents could do properly. That was not my brand of agenting.

I was much more successful in the way I view it and that was different from people who dealt with ICM. And they would always say, "Oh, you don't seem like an ICM agent," and at the time I was young enough in what I was doing that I took that as a negative, I took that as not good for me. "Oh my gosh, I better be like the others. I better be like something else, because this is not good." And then as I grew and matured I realized, wait, that's a badge of honor. That's the definition of how I operate. It is successful. I've gotten feedback for years now in how that's successful, and proud of that. And I own it. Again, own who you are. And that's how I operate. Is that like Ari Gold? Is that like Jerry Maguire? No, but there are individuals who are absolutely the embodiment of those people, and God bless them, it's successful for them. But you have to do what's right for you. My advice to anyone coming up the ladder is find out who you are, find out how you sell successfully, find out how you make things happen for clients, for colleagues, and then own it. And take it to the max. Don't try to be someone else. Don't wear someone else's clothing. And that's been very effective for me. But it was a learning curve.  Keep Reading »

While Bros hold down jobs of all types, there is no career aspiration more common among us than the prospect of becoming a successful entrepreneur. What Bro hasn't had an idea for a new business and dreamed of making it big -- and yes, striking it rich? And so, every Wednesday, BroBible picks the mind of a successful Bro entrepreneur and discovers what it takes to turn a simple idea into a thriving business. You've already met Maverik Lacrosse's John Gagliardi, Tap'd Founder Craig Zucker, New York party promoters Derek and Daniel Koch, TOMS shoes founder Blake Mycoskie, and sports agent Doug Eldridge.

Up next is another agent, though one of the Hollywood variety. Fresh out of college, Ben Press left D.C. in the early '90s to take a job at legendary Los Angeles agency ICM. He rose through the ranks there and at other agencies in town, building a reputation as one of the most powerful -- and stand-up -- agents in town. A few years ago, Press and his good friend Michael McConnell struck out on their own to launch Fortitude, a powerful boutique agency with big ambitions (that's Press on the right in the photo from Sundance above, McConnell on the left). Press spoke to BroBible recently about his career path, why Hollywood is like one big fraternity, and why he's a lot more like President Obama than Ari Gold. Here's Part 1 of the interview. Check back later today for Part 2.

BroBible: How'd you get your start in the industry?

Ben Press: I got into this business by happenstance. My very good friend was in this business and he said, "Oh, you should be an agent," and this literally was while I was pursuing another career in politics, working on the Hill. And I thought that was going to be my career to be. I had just graduated from Middlebury College and moved right to D.C. and hit the ground running. But my friend said, "Oh, you should be an agent. It's a great career." And I knew nothing about agenting.

So on a whim, I flew to Los Angeles and I met with at the time CAA, ICM, UTA. I met with 12 people at CAA for the training program and did the same thing elsewhere and the first people to say, "When can you start?" was ICM. And I thought this was serendipity. Why not? I'll take this offer and run with it. It was an entirely different career path but I was kind of in the mood at that point, especially at all of 22 years old, 23 years old, to be a little bit more open to things than if it had been down the road and I had gotten trapped into a career I wasn't into.  Keep Reading »

Word out of Hollywood is that Martin Scorsese will direct a biopic about Frank Sinatra. No names have been mentioned about who will star as Ol' Blue Eyes. Who do you think should star? Sound Off in the comments.

Our favorite in Dom DeLuise (August 1, 1933 - May 4, 2009) scene, above, in honor of the late, great comic actor, who died yesterday at the age of 75.
