Brad Pitt Attacked By Crazy Fan in Venice

Well, as there was me thinking dear Brad had lost the spark…the charm…that little something-something that once used to make fans go crazy, jump off bridges and generally make fools out of themselves. But I was wrong - he's still got it. The past few years in which he wiped baby poo off sweet baby bottoms and was generally employed as a nanny for his beloved, freshly-turned-straight Ange didn't completely alter his ladykiller charm.

He's still sexy as all hell (that, perhaps is just a tiny little bit off the top) and still has it in him to make normal people forget about themselves and go up against the evil forces of nature (or in this case, the police and his bodyguards) just for a few seconds next to his manly chest.

OK, maybe I did overdo it a little - but only a tiny bit. The fact is that Brad is currently in Venice, promoting his new film "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" with wife Angelina and the kids in tow. As he was posing on the red carpet, a crazed fan made her way through the throng and tried to hug Brad. She was eventually stopped by bodyguards, but not before she managed to spook poor Brad, who probably thought that Jennifer Aniston had finally lost it and decided to get her man back - the hard way. The situation was soon brought under control, as the unhappy lady was led away from the battle scene crying and screaming.

Looks like Brad didn't have such a good time in Venice as we'd probably have imagined. Over the weekend, he managed to make a crowd of photographers boo him because he refused to take of his (designed) sun glasses for posing. They walked away in frustration, not before calling Brad "vain".

I wonder what he was hiding under those glasses - perhaps mummy Angelina finally cracked and hit him over the head with a pan because he didn't mix up Shiloh's formula right. Just kidding. Anyway, Brad didn't let us down - even after he was booed, he still had time to talk about the wonders of being a parent. "It's the most fun I've ever had and also the biggest pain in the a*s I've ever experienced. I love it and can't recommend it any more highly - although sleep is nonexistent" he said. Good guy - told you he was Superman in disguise but no one believed me.
