The Pitt-Jolie clan have taken over an entire floor of one wing of a Berkeley hotel.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and their brood are camped out at the deluxe historic Claremont Hotel while he films the movie “Moneyball.”
In the movie, Pitt portrays Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane in his successful attempt to put together a baseball club on a decreased budget, using statistical data to draft the best — and cheapest — players for his roster. Much of the filming takes place at the Oakland Coliseum.
Before the family arrived, security people installed reflective material to block all the windows on the sixth floor, where they are staying, according to the celebrity website Janetcharltonshollywood. Their bodyguard reportedly has been spotted several times with the kids at the hotel pool.
Other members of the cast, including Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jonah Hill, are also staying at the hotel.
Judge Marsha Revel has removed herself from Lindsay Lohan‘s case.
The judge, who sentenced the actress to 90 days in jail and three months in rehab, voluntarily removed herself from the case, People reports.
“The prosecutor raised objections about the judge having hearings and conference calls without having the DAs present or being notified,” Los Angeles District Attorney spokeswoman Jane Robison told People. “It happened several times.”
In one instance, Revel made a last-minute change regarding the rehab facility where Lohan should receive treatment, and didn’t notify the prosecutor.
Revel has been replaced by Judge Elden Fox, who also oversaw Winona Ryder‘s shoplifting trial, a drug possession case of Courtney Love‘s and Lane Garrison‘s vehicular manslaughter case.
Lohan, 24, remains in treatment at UCLA Medical Center and is not expected to be released until early November.
Riley Keough, the granddaughter of Elvis Presley, is in talks to join the cast of the fourth installment of the “Mad Max” movies, “Fury Road.”
The movie’s plot is being kept secret, but things take place a short while after the story detailed in 1985’s “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome,” the third in the series, according to the New York Daily News.
That keeps Mad Max, who was portrayed in the original movie by Mel Gibson in his breakout role, relatively young and allows him to be played by Tom Hardy (“Inception”).
Keough, the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and musician-actor Danny Keough, will play one of the “Five Wives,” a group of women that Hardy must protect from the bad guys. Zoe Kravitz, Teresa Palmer and Adelaide Clemens are three of other wives.
Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult also star.
The movie is eyeing a start date for early next year.
Keough started modeling at age 14 but made her film debut in this year’s “Runaways,” the biopic of 1970s girl rock band. She played Marie Currie, the sister of bandmember Cherie Currie, played by Dakota Fanning.
Two months after saying “I do,” Alanis Morissette has learned she is going to be a mom.
The singer, 36, is expecting her first child with husband, rapper Souleye, 30, UsMagazine reports.
Morissette made her announcement in the magazine’s “25 Things You Don’t Know About Me” section, listing “I am pregnant!” as No. 25.
In May, the Canadian singer quietly tied the knot with the rapper (real name Mario Treadway) in an intimate ceremony at their Los Angeles home.
The couple has been together since October 2009.
“We’re very excited to embark on this journey with each other,” she wrote on her Facebook page at the time.
