Brad Pitt is set to star in the upcoming action movie The Gray Man.

Brad Pitt will star in the New Regency action movie The Gray Man. James Gray was set in January to direct the film, an adaptation of Mark Greaney’s thriller novel…

…Targeted by a powerful multinational corporation, a former CIA operative-turned-ultimate assassin must fight his way across Europe and past special forces teams from around the world in order to save the life of his handler and the handler’s family.

Sounds to me like a great fit, Pitt should take advantage of being able to pull off action roles while he’s still young. I’ve never read the novel, but it sounds like a compelling story. I’m hoping there is more to the movie than simply action, Brad Pitt is capable of great dramatic emotion. Hopefully there is a good balance in this one.

The just-about two month relationship between Prince Harry and Florence “Flee” Brudenell-Bruce has come to an end.

The third-in-line to the British monarchy is saying goodbye to Flee so he can focus on his military responsibilities.

If he is sent back to Afghanistan, Harry may miss part or all of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, celebrating her 50 years on the throne.

“Harry has a lot on his mind at the moment,” an insider revealed. “He is concentrating on his Apache helicopter training. After that, he’s expecting to return to Afghanistan.”

The 26 year-old is keen to be single and free again, having a good time without restrictions.

“Harry enjoyed spending time with friends over the summer, but he doesn’t want to be tied down in a relationship when training, so he called time on Flee.”

Harry spent some downtime in Majorca last month and was spotted in the company of friends and perhaps a bikini-clad gal who was not Flee.

I would imagine dating a lingerie model would make it challenging for any guy to concentrate.

Little monsters will have a little extra joy in their stockings this year.

Mother monster herself, Lady Gaga, is set to spread some holiday cheer as she teams up with Barney’s for “Gaga’s Workshop.”

The music and fashion icon will take over both the Madison Avenue windows and the fifth floor of the retailer in mid-November and turn it into a Christmas wonderland replete with exclusive, small gift items she and Thierry Mugler creative director Nicola Formichetti are designing.

“Barneys New York has also worked closely with Lady Gaga under the creative direction of Nicola Formichetti to design a range of exclusive, small gift items, which will be available for a limited time only at GAGA’S WORKSHOP,” the company said in a statement.

“In addition to GAGA’S WORKSHOP in New York, a selection of items from the collection will also be available at Barneys New York locations nationwide and online at Barneys.com.”

Barney’s is setting aside 25% of the sales for Gaga to donate to a charity of her choice. Even better.

I hope this is as amazing as it sounds!

It is the bane of every female celebrity – the dreaded (and sometimes wanted) wardrobe mafunction. Even Taylor Swift has succumbed to it.

The “Back to December” singer was performing in St. Louis when a wind machine at just the right angle caught the back of her skirt.

The quick thinking Swift immediately felt the extra breeze and pulled her dress back down, continuing on with her performance of “You Belong With Me” but not before the world got a chance to peep her “granny panties.”

The 21 year-old was wearing nude underwear to protect her modesty.

In short, this was nothing scandalous.

Tragedy strikes Bravo‘s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as one cast member’s husband committed suicide.

Taylor Armstrong‘s husband, Russell Armstrong was found dead in a friend’s home on Mulholland Drive after taking his own life. The 47 year-old businessman hung himself in his bedroom, according to TMZ sources.

Russell’s lawyer, Ronald Richards said he had been struggling with the separation and mounting financial problems, including a lawsuit recently filed against the RHOBH couple.

“I feel bad because his credit cards weren’t working … He had tremendous financial problems,” Richards told TMZ. “He was also extremely bummed out about the divorce with Taylor.

“As far as a will, even if he does have a will, they don’t have any assets, so I’m not sure what there would be left to leave. I am extremely saddened … I had no idea he was depressed.”

Taylor, 40, had filed for divorce from Russell in July citing physical and verbal abuse. They have one child, 5 year-old daughter Kennedy.

Rose McGowan attended the 2011 Do Something Awards at the Hollywood Paladium in Los Angeles over the weekend.

The Conan the Barbarian actress chose a strapless dress with the on-trend black and white star print that Dolce & Gabbana have put on every item in their line.

McGowan chose bright red Brian Atwood pumps and a Judith Leiber clutch to go along with her dress.

I like the dress and Rose looks great but I’m totally over that print. I have a feeling Hollywood stylists aren’t.

Angelina Jolie took her two oldest daughters, Zahara and Shiloh, out for a quick toy stop in London yesterday afternoon.

The 36 year-old actress brought the girls to The Toy Station in the Richmond area of London where the Jolie-Pitt family is residing while Brad Pitt films the zombie flick World War Z.

Shop owner Karen Khatachik said the family brought a number of items including toys and play kits for their siblings Maddox, Pax, Vivienne and Knox.

“They liked the stickers and the Play-Doh and they were saying, ‘Mom, look at this — it’s really cool!’ ” told OK magazine. “She was asking them if the other children who weren’t with her would like different things she had chosen. She showed them craft-making sets and asked, ‘Would they like that?’”

“They bought make-your-own soaps, make-your-own bracelets and Scratch Art,” Karen said. “It’s a blackboard and it’s done in a design with a gold foil underneath and you scratch it off and the image appears.”

The store was closed to other customers at the time so they could browse privately.

The family will be on the move again as Pitt’s film goes to Glasgow to film.
