    <title><![CDATA[Updates on the story "Brad Pitt's $350,000 Shopping Spree" on Celebuzz]]></title>
    <description><![CDATA[<p>It bears repeating again and again: Celebrities are just like the rest of us. <br /><br />Oh, no, wait. They're totally not. In fact, they're just the <em>opposite</em> of the average human being. <br /><br />Exhibit A: <strong>Brad Pitt</strong>. The actor spent yesterday dropping more than 300 grand on knickknacks at the Design Miami/Basel fair in Switzerland, according to <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601088&amp;sid=a2F8oiAAsg.s&amp;refer=home" target="_blank">bloomberg.com</a>. <br /><br />Pitt's biggest extravagance was a hollow, white-marble, rococo-style table by Dutch designer <strong>Jeroen Verhoeven</strong>, for which he shelled out $293,000.</p>
<p>Dude, seriously&#8212;$293,000? And the thing is <em>hollow</em>? You got <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/courtney-love-burned-kurt-cobains-s21051/" target="_blank">burned</a>.<br /><br />Not content to stop there, Pitt picked up a pair of bronze <strong>Max Lamb</strong> chairs for the tidy sum of $25,000 each, according to <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/Brad-Pitt-Spends-50K-on-Art-the-Day-Before-Angelina-Jolies-B-Day" target="_blank"><em>Us </em>magazine</a>. <br /><br />There's some speculation that, since the purchases were made the day before <strong>Angelina Jolie</strong>'s 33rd birthday (that'd be June 4. Happy, happy, Angie&#8212;hope you got our card), Brad might have been putting together a very special present for his baby mama.<br /><br />The bigger question is, Have you gone insane, Brad Pitt? You've got, what, 17 small kids, with two more on the way, and you're filling your home with ridiculously expensive untouchable furniture?</p>
<p>Kids are messy. They gunk things up with their candy-stickied fingers. They draw on inappropriate surfaces with crayons. In their earlier stages, they're veritable fountains of regurgitated spew. <br /><br />And neither you nor your girl seem like the type to protect their furniture with plastic covering. <br /><br />You may be pretty, but apparently you ain't too smart, pal.</p>]]></description>

	      <description><![CDATA[Brad Pitt picks up a few pieces of contemporary &#8220;design art&#8221; furniture at the Design Miami/Basel fair held at the 1920s domed Markethalle in Basel, Switzerland, on Tuesday.

The father of almost six paid $293,000 for a hollow white marble rococo-style table by the Dutch designer Jeroen Verhoeven at the booth of the London-based Carpenters Workshop Gallery. The four-foot-long &#8220;Cinderella Table,&#8221; from an edition of six, is hewn from a solid block of Carrara marble.

Brad was also interested in a gold lacquer-coated Fiberglas sofa by Zaha Hadid, offered by London-based dealer Kenny Schachter at $300,000.

BTW, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANGELINA JOLIE! She turns 33 today.]]></description>

	      <description><![CDATA[Soon-to-be mom of six Angelina Jolie turns 33 today. The double knocked-up actress is currently in France, and it seems her man Brad Pitt crossed country boundaries to get a great gift for her.

Yesterday Brad Pitt went to Switzerland's Art Basel fair where he shopped for over two hours.

What did he purchase? From what I've found it seems he bought two Max Lamb bronze chairs ($50,000), a foam and fiberglass "Family Lamp" ($?), and a table that must be made of a precious material or something ($293,000).

I would think that Brad was possibly buying these things for Angelina because he really wanted them for himself, since he is obsessed with architecture and design. But sweet Bradley reportedly got Angelina a huge bouquet of flowers as well.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Lucky bitch.]]></description>
