Brad Pitt on movie, marriage and that ad
Brad Pitt clearly has a great deal going on.
Between being dad to six children, a fiancé, an activist and a perfume pitchman, he still manages to squeeze in some time acting. The movie star recently sat down with "Showbiz Tonight's" A.J. Hammer to talk about his latest project, the mob film "Killing Them Softly," and that nagging question of when he plans to marry partner Angelina Jolie.
A.J. Hammer: Brad, we've got a mob movie and I believe the first one we've seen that has political campaign speeches throughout it.
Brad Pitt: I like to mix it up.
Hammer: Was this -- for you -- as much about making a mob movie as it was about sending a political message?
Pitt: This is a good friend of mine, the writer and director, Andrew Dominik, he's from Australia, and his view of America was very interesting to me. His feeling in some way oppressed and that we get caught up in trying to sell the idea that the image is more important than the actual substance. This is what he was trying to tell with this story. He finds this book about a crime syndicate, and he makes these comparisons to -- not politics, per se, or not just politics, but ... the financial crisis itself, and it was a good subject matter.
Hammer: I know, and timely! The idea of the mob dealing with corporate concerns or falling off a fiscal cliff. How timely is that coming off this political season?
Pitt: Absolutely! And how much are we really dealing with -- the issue's always at the image of the issue, and oftentimes, a scapegoat is found, but it's not really solved. This is what our film is about. It's about get the games going again, get the perception that the machine's running again so everyone can feel confident, have market confidence and get on with the game.
Hammer: I want to ask you specifically ... about an issue that's been at the forefront for you and Angelina, and that is the issue of marriage equality. That is something that you guys have obviously done a phenomenal job moving forward and getting the message out about what should be done. You've talked about perception versus what happens in reality sometimes. When and why did that become so important to you guys?
Pitt: It's one of our last big issues of equality. What makes this nation great is our freedoms and the idea of equality, the true idea of equality -- and in that definition, there's a certain faction of our society that is not being included. And that time ... it's time! Yeah, it's time.

Angus T. Jones of ‘Two and a Half Men’: My show is ‘filth’
For a comedy, “Two and a Half Men” on CBS brings a lot of drama.
Angus T. Jones, the 19-year-old actor who has played the “Half” man, Jake Harper, since 2003, calls the sitcom “filth” in a taped interview that recounts his religious experience.
“Jake from ‘Two and a Half Men’ means nothing. He’s a nonexistent character. If you watch ‘Two and a Half Men,’ please stop watching,” Jones says toward the end of the clip, which was posted to YouTube on Monday.
“I’m on ‘Two and a Half Men,’ and I don’t want to be on it. Please stop watching it. Please stop filling your head with filth. Please. People say it’s just entertainment … do some research on the effects of television and your brain, and I promise you you’ll have a decision to make when it comes to the television and especially with what you watch on television,” he continued. “It’s bad news. I don’t know if it means anymore coming from me, but you might not have heard it otherwise.”
Jones then references “the enemy’s” deception, presumably meaning Satan, and assuring listeners that “there’s no playing around when it comes to eternity.”
He notes at one point in the video that he doesn’t want to contribute “to the enemy’s plan,” and that people may view actors like himself and think, “Oh, I can be a Christian and be on a show like ‘Two and a Half Men.’ You can’t. You can not be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like that. I know I can’t. I’m not OK with what I’m learning, what the Bible says, and being on that television show. You go all or nothing.”
A rep for the CBS show told CNN “no comment” on Jones’ remarks.
