China has decided to censor the movie, "Memoirs of a Geisha", despite increased openness from the government in recent years and an appearance from two leading Chinese actresses.

The decision from the Chinese government was made public last Wednesday; however, a specific reason has not yet been given. Most analysts have said that the censoring is a move by the government to control outside influences that have flooded the Chinese market since the country joined the World Trade Organization in 2001.

Rumor has it that Brad Pitt is obsessed with landing a movie role in which he plays a homosexual.

The father-to-be is said to be so impressed with the success of "Brokeback Mountain," he wants to find a script which will portray the ultimate gay love story.

According to reports, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are definitely planning to get married this month, possibly to coincide with the day for lovers, Valentines Day.

The couple contacted staff at the lavish Villa D'Este hotel, which is located along the shores of Lake Como in Italy. Unfortunately, the affluent hotel was unable to accommodate the couple, because they were hell bent on marrying within the first two weeks of February and Villa D'Este is closed during that time.

Even though Brad Pitt's soon-to-be baby's momma Angelina Jolie has reportedly suffered horrendous morning sickness, she hasn't lost her sense of humor, and is on joke time constantly when not praying to a porcelain god in the bathroom.

A friend of Angie's told reporters that Brad bumped into her by accident and Angie grabbed her stomach and moaned, "Oh, the baby!"

Soon-to-be-dad Brad Pitt was spotted at London's Locanda Locatelli restaurant to have dinner with friends Madonna and Guy Richie.

Brad arrived first, and the female patrons of the restaurant flocked to him according to the owner Giorgio Locatelli. "It turned the restaurant on its head," the owner said.

Actress Thandie Newton has won the spot as the next Bond girl opposite the new 007, Daniel Craig. Thandie was not the top choice to play the sexy spy Vesper Lynd, both Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron turned down the role.

But, producers and Daniel were reportedly "very impressed" with Thandie's work in "Casino Royale." The Zimbabwe-born actress' first huge acting gig was as the title character in Oprah Winfrey's "Beloved" in 1998.
