Brad Pitt reveals ONLY two women have left him starstruck (and it wasn't Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie)
Brad Pitt revealed that only two women have ever left him starstruck. While appearing on Wednesday's episode of the New Heights podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce, the F1 actor, 61, divulged the names of the two actresses that truly took his breath away. 'When I first met Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon, I was. Yeah,' the two-time Oscar winner admitted of feeling initially starstruck around his former Thelma & Louise costars. He continued: 'I got over it quickly, though.' Pitt's role in the 1991 film, Thelma & Louise, propelled him to stardom as the charming and charismatic hitchhiker, J.D., who sleeps with Thelma (Davis), before stealing her money and vanishing. Previously, the father-of-six praised Davis for being 'so sweet and kind and delicate' during their sex scene during an interview with W Magazine in 2023. 'That love scene, I think, went on for two days of shooting. She took care of me,' he told the publication. Despite still establishing his name in Hollywood, at the time, Sarandon said the then-rising star 'really impressed' her with 'his sense of humor' in addition to 'his good looks and great body.' 'I thought, "Ah, this guy's interesting, you know, he's not just a really gorgeous face,"' she told Extra in 2021. The Dead Man Walking went on to note that Pitt has 'continued to push the envelope' throughout his career. During his interview with the Kelce brothers, Pitt shared his love for Travis' team, the Kansas City Chiefs. This prompted Taylor Swift's boyfriend, Travis, 35, to apologize for their Super Bowl loss. 'We got you this year. I let you down,' the tight end told the actor. Pitt replied that hardships were 'what makes sports movies so special.' 'That's what I mean about life. Life throws struggles your way. Sometimes everything goes quiet, it's perfection, it's sublime. Other periods, life throws these struggles at you and it's how you deal with those and how you come back from those,' Pitt explained. On the same episode of the New Heights podcast, Travis confessed to his brother and listeners that he was too starstruck to 'figure out how to ask questions.' Although Pitt refrained from going into any specifics about his personal life, the star recently opened up about needing to 'wake the f**k up' and getting sober while appearing on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast, last week. During their chat, Pitt spoke about attending AA meetings and 'trying anything and everything' to turn his life around following his split from Jolie, 50. ''It was a difficult time. I needed rebooting,' he shared. While attending AA, Pitt said he felt nervous about speaking and was inspired by 'everyone [being] so open' about their experiences. 'It gives you permission to go, "OK, I'm gonna step out on this edge and see what happens,"' he explained. 'And then I really grew to love it.' Pitt went on to praise Shepard, who was sober for 16 years before relapsing in 2020, for always being 'so f**king honest.' 'I just thought it was incredible, men sharing their experiences with their foibles, their missteps, their wants, their aches and a lot of humor with it,' Pitt said. As someone born in Oklahoma and raised in Missouri, the actor explained he was raised around men that always insisted 'everything is great' and didn't complain.

Christopher Esber Resort 2026 Collection
In a season brimming with 'reinvented classics,' Christopher Esber said he wanted to bring a little whimsy to his resort collection through draping and sculpting rather than just cutting fabric away. 'This collection is really about fantasy meets function,' the designer said in a Zoom interview from his studio in Sydney. 'In my mind, I kept playing back the idea of escaping, of desert horizons, sunbaked highways and bringing in more textiles and colors that speak to that landscape.' It's been almost 35 years since Thelma & Louise just kept on driving, but for Esber that feminist classic was top of mind. Did that mean he, too, would make a run for it? Definitely not, the designer said. 'I just really connected with that spirit of changing things up and forging your own way.' Part of the process was giving himself the freedom to revisit and refine things that perhaps aren't considered cool anymore, he said, like an aged stripe or a snip of lace encrusted unevenly on a yellow top or inserted on a green dress. The goal was to strike a balance between retro and contemporary aesthetics. An out-of-character garment, for example, can sometimes turn out to be a perfect fit. One can well imagine the mileage fans could get from some of these pieces, like a sporty coffee-colored bomber, a billowy trench with a patterned green lining, or tailored jeans spliced with suede. The designer smartly developed some ensembles that can be either attached as a complete silhouette or worn separately; in that vein, an asymmetrical chocolate top and grape-colored skirt looked strong. Esber has long married various materials in odd-couple ways; this season that included scalloping suede or jersey with lace; transposing python effects into exotic-looking prints and superfine knits; a silver coil on a dress or bag; or a necktie spooled into a halter top. The idea of shredded snakeskin appeared on a georgette dress intricately cut to show some flesh yet 'hit in all the right places,' the designer said. That was one of a few numbers that were definitely for those who dress like they've got nothing to hide. Not every experiment landed, but there were plenty of the kind of sexy, sinuous—and commercial—clothes here to keep Esber's base coming back for more, whether they are hitting the road for real or only in spirit.

World's deadliest KITTENS named Thelma and Louise make their adorable debut at Utah zoo
Utah 's Hogle Zoo has welcomed two deadly but adorable kittens named Thelma and Louise to their small animal family. Thelma and Louise are a pair of ten-month-old black-footed cat sisters - one of the deadliest species in the world. Despite their small size and similar appearance to a house cat, these felines are natural predators with a 60 percent success rate when hunting, which is significantly higher than the 20 percent success rate typically achieved by most big cats. The sisters arrived at the Salt Lake City zoo from Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Texas as part of the Black-Footed Cat Consortium's effort to conserve the species. Black-footed cats are listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), indicating that their population is in decline. Thelma and Louise are being housed in Hogle's Small Animal Building, where they are often found 'napping, pouncing, exploring and engaging in enrichment activities,' according to the zoo. Adorable footage shared by the zoo shows Thelma and Louise playing in their habitat, pouncing on each other and viciously attacking their scratching post and paper scraps. 'Thelma is bold and playful, while Louise is a little more reserved—cautiously curious and content to observe before leaping into the action,' the zoo said. 'Together, they roll, chase, and tumble through their space.' Black-footed cats resemble tabby cats but derive their name from having black or dark brown soles or pads on their paws. Despite their miniature stature, black-footed cats can spring up to five feet in the air and cover a distance of six-and-a-half feet. These felines are native to Africa and are primarily found in the arid eastern regions of Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa. They are the smallest species of wild cat found on the continent. In the Afrikaans language, they are called 'ant-hill tigers.' Thelma and Louise's arrival marked the return of black-footed cats to Hogle Zoo after their beloved Gaia was transferred to a Texas zoo in November. Gaia first came to Hogle in December 2023 and made headlines for her adorable appearance on the zoo's social media. She was often seen posing on a log in her enclosure, showcasing her distinctive black stripes and tiny toes. In one cute video posted to Instagram, Gaia was seen hunting around her enclosure for some carefully hidden kitty treats as part of her birthday celebrations. She was transferred to Cameron Park Zoo in Texas based on a breeding recommendation by the Black-Footed Cat Consortium. Despite her departure, Hogle Zoo pledged their commitment to 'caring for this deadly and fascinating species is far from over.' 'Hogle Zoo has actively and successfully participated in the Black-footed Cat Consortium, welcoming many kittens and educating the community about these charismatic but deadly cats,' the zoo said.
