"Treat him with a lot of respect. And there's a wonderful saying in moviemaking that is, 'Treat actors like stars and stars like actors.' Brad is the ultimate actor's actor. Just know that. It was a pleasure to work for him."

—Inglourious Basterds producer and Quentin Tarantino right-hand man Lawrence Bender when asked how in the hell you keep a movie star like Brad Pitt happy on the set. As many of you are aware, actors in this town are friggin' nut jobs if they get pissed off or annoyed during a scene, but apparently, Brad is very easy to please. So what's the secret to Brad's relaxed demeanor? It couldn't be because Brad loves the weed, since B.P. admitted he gave the green fun up for his kids. How herbally sweet, right? Eh, not exactly, 'cause according to Tarantino, the coolest thing Pitt did when they met was give him a "block of hash" and a Coke can to smoke it with. Maybe we understand Brad's chiller ways after all...

"Definitely. In fact, I think he would be even better."

—Sarah Silverman at the Inglourious Bastards premiere in H-wood earlier this week when we asked if she'd still love Brad Pitt if he was fat. Like we said when we peeped an early screening of IB, the movie is Quentin Tarantino great—but not if you're looking for a sexy Pitt-ster. The flick is all about Brad's fun acting, not his ridiculously hot do-me bod. So we polled a few peeps on the red carpet if Brad would still be wet-dream lovable if there was a little more to him. What say you all?

Working with director Quentin Tarantino is kind of a staple in an actor's life. It's a guy thing.

Brad Pitt told E! News that this Inglourious Basterds collaboration was almost eight years in the making, so when the script finally came to him he simply had to do it.

After persuading one of, if not the, biggest movie stars in the world to do your project, how the hell does Quentin only go up from here? Angelina Jolie, of course.

It was almost as if we saw a glimpse of old and fun Angelina Jolie out in action last night at the Inglourious Basterds premiere in L.A. Even though she donned her typical black getup, the leather-looking ensemble was a helluva lot more interesting than anything else we've seen Saint Jolie sport lately.

Some of you commenters seem to disagree, but we thought she looked fab. Ange was still a tad frail-looking for our taste, but her arms and bod looked way healthier than when we saw her back during awards season.

Even though Jolie skipped most press, when we chatted with her for a bit she was bubbly, fun and...nice. What gives? Could Jolie be preggers again or something?

Well, when we talked with Brad Pitt and Angelina 'bout that...

Can we just say we adore Jon Hamm? We hit up the Mad Men season 3 premiere last night in Hollywood—and not gonna lie—it was totally to gawk at the sexy double Emmy nominee.

Jon, who was absent his girlfriend of 11 years Jennifer Westfeldt, is a rare commodity in this super sleazy town of ours. So we had to ask if he even bothers paying attention to the scummy dudes who are literally giving "Jon" a bad name. Like Jon Gosselin, for instance.

While Hamm was busy working to promote his classy show, Gosselin  was apparently having a sleepover with his kids' babysitter! So, nice guy that he is, JH offered up some tasteful dating advice to newly single JG:

When we ran into Melissa Leo at the L.A. Film Festival, we not only wanted the dirt on Christian Bale, but on Kristen Stewart, too, obviously.

Melissa recently worked with Kristen in Welcome to the Rileys as well as The Cake Eaters, and she said she got to know K.Stew very well.

"There's a reason [Kristen] is so big and up and coming," dished the talented Miss Leo. "She's first and foremost a very smart young lady. She has actually built a career for herself by the choices she's made."

Twilight seemed to be a pretty smart move…
"Kristen's actually had a lot more opportunities to work than she has in fact worked. She's been very clever about it. And she's remarkable. I played a mom figure for her and feel that bond in real life, also."

Did Kristen need any motherly advice about her boy Rob Pattinson?

The similarities are damn obvious when it comes to Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie: Both are ridiculously hot, badass, man-devouring chicks.

But before we get to the big diff between the two, we thought we should let Angie's dad, Jon Voight, and Megan herself, weigh in here.

First, we were curious if Jon sees any Ange in Megan:

"I do see the comparison. Megan and Angie are both sexy ladies. They're attractive, with some similar features, so it's easy to compare them like that. Plus, they've both been in action movies. But they are also talented," daddy Jolie told us at the Transformer's premiere.

Like we twittered from the carpet last night, we can't decide if that's honest, creepy or both.

When we ran into Miss Fox later in the evening, we asked if she thought of herself as Angie 2.0...

"Yeah, there's still a possibility. You shouldn't read the Internet! Half of it isn't true."

—Michael Bay, when we asked him if he would be interested in directing Transformers 3. The current Transformers director sent websites buzzing last week when he supposedly trash-talked the franchise, declaring he wouldn't be directing any more of the big-budget flicks. We think he went a little far in bashing the whole friggin' Net, but Bay said he'd be back if they wanted him

Looks like there might be a future athlete-dude, not Playboy model-babe, in the Wilkinson-Baskett family. Kendra and Hank told us at the L.A. Film Festival premiere of Transformers yesterday they think they have a boy on the way.

"We don't officially know, but we keep saying he because we don't want to say it. The doctor kind of said he thinks it's a boy. But we don't know for sure yet," dished Kendra, oozing motherhood in a minidress with her boobs all covered up...damn. (Think Hank made her do that?)

"And I just have a feeling. I think it's a boy," Hank added. The studly inseminator, not all that shy, must be excited since that's what he was hoping for.

We asked Kendra if she was going to be popping babies out one right after the other...

Academy Award nominee Melissa Leo sure has made the most out of her recent jump to Hollywood's A-list. Seriously, check out her IMDb page—the babe has tons of movies in the works, including a flick with Kristen Stewart (that girl-on-girl action will come tomorrow, promise). Up first, we were curious about M.L.'s most recent gig: playing mom to Christian Bale in The Fighter.

We caught up with Mel at the L.A. Film Festival opening of Paper Man last week and had to know how everything's going with the temperamental actor.

Are you nervous at all? Christian has a reputation of getting very into his roles...
