Brad Pitt Raises Eyebrows With Perplexing Answer When Asked What Keeps Him Grounded
Brad Pitt had an interesting answer when asked what keeps him grounded. During the F1 premiere in Mexico City on June 9, a reporter for Entertainment Tonight referred to Pitt's May 28 GQ interview — in which he declared that his life currently feels 'fairly contained', 'pretty warm' and 'secure' — and asked him what makes him feel 'so grounded.' While some would assume his immediate response would involve family, the six children he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie or his girlfriend of two years Ines de Ramon, he opted instead to share some words of wisdom that he has seemingly followed himself. 'No matter the mistake, you know, you just learn from [it] and move on,' the actor shared. 'It'll lead to the next success.' 'I think [when] you get to my age, you really see how important it is to surround yourself with the people you love, the people that love you back,' he continued. 'Friends, family, and that's it.' 'From there, we get to go make things,' he added. 'So it's a pretty simple, I think, equation.' During Pitt's trek to Mexico City to promote his new action film – in which he plays Sonny Hayes, a former Formula One driver who returns to racing following a career-ending crash — fans couldn't help but rejoice in his decision to rock a buzz cut, reminiscent of his iconic early 2000s look. Pitt, however, waved off a compliment about the nostalgic 'do, seeming more eager to discuss the adrenaline rush he felt from getting behind the wheel while filming the movie, in theaters June 27. 'It's so sublime,' he told ET. 'It's a feeling I've never had.' As Pitt continues to make his rounds to promote F1, his children are keeping busy, too. As Star previously reported, Shiloh, 19, recently debuted a new name — 'Shi Joli', a nod to her famous mother — Zahara, 20, sparked speculation that she's engaged and Pax, 21, was spotted in Los Angeles following a night out at Chateau Marmont. (Pitt and Jolie, 50, also share Maddox, 23, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.) It's unclear whether Pitt's relationship with his children following the 2016 incident on a private jet that led to his divorce from Jolie has improved, but an insider told People in June 2024, 'The reminders that he's lost his children is, of course, not easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them. It's very sad.' Meanwhile, an insider told Star in May that Pitt's romance with de Ramon, 32, is only getting stronger by the day. 'They're an extremely calm couple and not overly intense or high-strung,' the insider said at the time. 'Brad's very happy with Ines, and this even-keeled, go-with-the-flow-type vibe is so refreshing.'

Disneyland says MrBeast's '$500,000' date was an after-hours experience
Disneyland says MrBeast's '$500,000' date was an after-hours experience Show Caption Hide Caption Disney launches new Florida resident ticket deal Walt Disney World has announced the launch of a new ticket deal for Florida residents just in time for the summer. Fox - 35 Orlando Disneyland is offering more detail about MrBeast's viral date after YouTube's most popular creator said he paid $500,000 to have the entire theme park to himself. "Disney won't just hand over their keys to anyone, but for this once-in-a-lifetime date, we were given the entire park for one night," MrBeast, the social media persona of Jimmy Donaldson, says in the video with more than 66 million views. For the video, Donaldson took this fiancée Thea Booysen on six dates ranging from $1 to $500,000, concluding with what he described as a private evening at Disneyland. MrBeast's trip was held after hours, park says MrBeast and his team visited Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California "a couple of weeks ago" for an after-hours experience at the park, a Disney spokesperson told USA TODAY on June 11. While MrBeast and his crew didn't have to face any lines or crowds, the park didn't change their normal operating hours to accommodate the influencer, either. Variations of this experience are available to all customers, including Disney After Hours, in which customers can purchase tickets for three extended hours after the park's traditional closing time. The park also offers Disney's Fair Tale Weddings & Honeymoons, which allows couples and their family to rent various venues, including The Sleeping Beauty Castle Forecourt and Small World Mall. One upcoming after-hours event is Disneyland's "Pride Nite" celebration from June 16-18. You may not get the park to yourself, but the park says guests can expect shorter wait times and special entertainment experiences. MrBeast's team did not immediately respond for comment when contacted by USA TODAY on June 11. Crocs: New Disney Crocs and Dooney & Bourke bags celebrate 70 years of Disneyland 🪄 Tourism economy: New report finds Disneyland, Disney World contribute $67B to US economy Can you actually rent out all of Disneyland? Disney did not specify if it is possible for customers to rent out the entire theme park. However, several Disney-centric blogs like Magic Guides say fans shouldn't get their hopes up about getting the park to themselves for a day. "Closing down the resort for a day would be a public relations nightmare and would severely disrupt how guests could plan and book their trips," Magic Guides' author Joshua Powell wrote. One celebrity actually did rent out the park MrBeast isn't the first and likely won't be the last celebrity to make a solo appearance at Disneyland. On Feb. 27, 1992, actress Elizabeth Taylor rented out all of Disneyland to celebrate her 60th birthday. The entire park shut down for the birthday bash, which required extra security. Hundreds of celebrities attended the party, a possible marketing win for Disney. Greta Cross is a national trending reporter at USA TODAY. Story idea? Email her at gcross@

Addison Rae changes her name and reflects on life in Lousiana
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Addison Rae is picking up a whisk and making major reveals on life in Louisiana. The 'Diet Pepsi' singer and TikTok star joined longtime friend Quen Blackwell to cook alligator bites in the latest episode of Feeding Starving Celebrities on YouTube. Sharing southern roots, the pair discussed life before moving to California, Addison Rae sharing that moving to Los Angeles gave her a new perspective on life. Expressing that before the move, she felt as if she did not have much purpose, using her free time to pretend to be a member of the band One Direction. 'I would try to find the usernames of the [One Direction] members like that, and then I would follow people so they would think it was them. I was so bored,' But for Quen, the southern charm was never far, sharing that every time she visited Addison's house, she felt as if she were back in the south. 'I miss coming over to your house when your whole family was there, all the food was so good. It felt like Addison had a little Southern home in the middle of LA craziness, it was everything.' Reflecting on those memories, Addison shared how she has evolved in her journey and revealed a major change for her future 'I think I've grown past just being called Addison Rae. Naming the album 'Addison' was a way to tie everything together.' Addison says that after the album, she will return to being just Addison. 'It's going back to the roots, really.' Quen adored the idea, gushing, 'It's like going back to the truth, what you were called as a kid. You've always been Addison.' The one-hour show wrapped up with the two taste testing their homemade alligator bites and air-fried shrimp, garnering over 1.5 million views on YouTube. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
