Bloggers can hate on Brad Pitt all they want: He’ll likely never read about it.

Asked during Newsweek’s 13th annual Oscar Roundtable if he’s ever “googled” himself, the Oscar nominee, 45, replied, “Dear God. No. Never. First of all, I don’t really know how to operate a computer.”

“This publicity machine is out of control,” Pitt says of the downside of releasing a film. “It’s everything we didn’t sign up for. There’s this whole other entity that you get sucked into. You have to go and sell your wares.

Rumors have been tiptoeing around about marriage troubles between Madonna and her husband of seven years, director Guy Ritchie. It seemed to everyone that the once wild, pointy bra-wearing Queen of Pop had settled down for good with her Brit, with her finding Kabbalah, doing massive amounts of yoga, and adopting little David from Malawi.

The “Brangelina” twins will be born soon! Who will get the winning photos???

As Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt hide out from the prying cameras of the paparazzi in the South of France ahead of the birth of their twins, the bidding war for the first sanctioned pictures of their unborn children has already broken all records.

In New York media circles, there have been reports recently that agents for the Hollywood stars have been offered up to $15 million for the photographs and that the eventual price could top $20 million for a worldwide deal.

The new benchmark could soon make it as lucrative for stars to give birth as to make movies.

The couple are expected to donate the funds to one of the charitable causes they support – as they did with the money they received for the first images of daughter Shiloh in 2006.
