In March 1998, while Brad Pitt was schlepping home six cases of architectural books that he picked up at the Antiquarian International Book Fair in Los Angeles, and Burt Reynolds was out to recapture his sex symbol status by again posing nude for Cosmopolitan, OJ Simpson was toying with the idea of a singing career.

2005: Brad Pitt figured out an easy way to outfox the papparrazzi. He simply keeps his motorcycle helmet on! Brad arrived at Western Costume in North Hollywood for fittings for his next movie in which he plays cowboy/criminal Jesse James and he was unrecognizable in head to toe black leather and a black helmet. He's also producing the as-yet-untitled western, and VERY involved in his character's look. Brad, spent two hours looking at 1890's western research books and photos. He rummaged through the racks and tried on many styles of cowboy hats, belts, and aged boots. After he picked fabrics for shirts and pants, he was measured for his custom items and every female in the place volunteered to help out. He walked out completely helmeted, again stymying snappers.
