"Dancing with Brad Pitt"???

Low wattage celebs like Willa Ford and Harry Hamlin are a dime-a-dozen on "Dancing with the Stars," but A-list stars like super couple Brangelina? Not a chance, right?

On Tuesday the parking lot outside the "Dancing" set featured assigned spaces with the names of contestants like Mario Lopez, Jerry Springer and Hamlin's wife, Lisa Rinna. While there's nothing unusual about that, there was one space that seemed oddly out of place -- Brad Pitt's!

Brad, who is obviously not a contestant on the ABC show, had a parking spot with a sign baring his name and the show's logo on it.

So was Brangelina going to make a surprise appearance on the C-list emporium and show off their best Paso Doble moves? Probably not.

Perhaps, like the rest of us mere mortals, they're just fans of Joey Lawrence's tango.

Tune in to Wednesday's episode of "Dancing with the Stars" to see who gets voted off and if the Brad Pitt mystery is solved.

We're Fixated on Shakira!

What's going on with Shakira?

Marlene, we have the goods for you on the hip swaying sensation that is Shakira! Born Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, the 29-year-old Colombian-born beauty is engaged to long-time beau Antonio de la Rua. On a more random note, she once got kicked out of choir for singing "too forcefully"!

There's still time to get tickets for her Oral Fixation tour -- she'll be in Dallas and McAllen, Texas beginning tomorrow through Tuesday and will be closing out the year with a couple concerts in Miami.

Brad's New Tattoo?

Brad Pitt may not be ready to commit himself to holy matrimony, but he is ready to commit to a lifetime of ink?

The latest pictures of Brad show a mark on his forearm that resembles what might be a tattoo.

Brad's donned lots of tattoos in many of his cinematic roles, but in real life he has yet to mark his body ... until now? Either he scraped up his arm riding around on his motorcycle, didn't shower properly or he really got a tattoo. You be the judge.

Brad and Angie Go Tagging

Hollywood's hottest couple made another public appearance last night at one of the only two things they seem to do outside their home -- art shows and flying lessons.

Yesterday's outing was no different, as they took in the view at Banksy's graffiti art show in a Downtown LA warehouse. The happy couple took time to check out the artist's show, called "Barely Legal," where a life-sized red and gold elephant is the show's main piece.

Yesterday's news of the arrest of an FBI impostor for trying to secure a job at camp Brangelina didn't seem to slow down the famous duo as they left the show holding hands, escorted by two women.

Fake Fed Wanted to Get Near Brangelina

A would-be "security consultant" was arrested today for allegedly impersonating a federal agent in order to try to secure the job of being a bodyguard for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Nelson Mercado, 46, of Torrance, Calif., is accused of telling Sunset Protective Services and Investigations that he was a special agent for the Department of Homeland Security and is also accused of specifically seeking "the security contract and hourly payment to provide security services" for Brangelina, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in LA.

Mercado is also accused of using fake credentials and a "fraudulently registered" Ford Crown Victoria with tinted windows and a police light package. He was arrested today by Secret Service agents and, if convicted, faces a maximum penalty of three years in federal prison.

Angelina's New Film -- Problems in Pakistan

She might be the sweetheart of Namibia, but it looks like Angelina Jolie doesn't quite carry the same weight in Pakistan.

A Pakistani newspaper is reporting that a production crew from Jolie's upcoming movie "A Mighty Heart" was recently caught filming scenes in Karachi and Islamabad, as well as the Pakistani countryside, without permission from the government.

"A Mighty Heart," is based on Mariane Pearl's account of the terrifying and unforgettable ordeal of her late husband, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.

A press minister from the government issued a statement to the Pakistan Daily Times saying, "No request by the film unit to shoot in Pakistan had been made to the embassy." He said all documentary and feature filmmakers must obtain permission and an appropriate visa from the Pakistani government before they begin shooting. Any unauthorized attempt to film without permission and without the knowledge of government authorities is "illegal and regrettable," he added. The minister said he would be making inquiries, starting today, both here and in Islamabad.

TMZ contacted Paramount, the studio producing the film. Our calls were not immediately returned.

Brad's Jab at Mel Gibson

While in Toronto promoting his new film, Brad Pitt referenced Mel Gibson's recent DUI arrest as cameras snapped his photo. After cracking a funny face, the actor joked, "That's the picture that's going to end up when I have a breakdown or something ... when I get arrested for a DUI late at night, make racial slurs or something."

Pitt also talked candidly about his children with Angelina Jolie, worrying about them seeing his past films. "Oh my God, what did I do? What are they gonna see? Films from the past, I start making that list and ah, but it definitely colors what I'll approach in the future, I'll try to be a little bit more mature about my decisions."

While Maddox, Zahara and baby Shiloh probably won't be seeing Pitt's "Seven" or "Interview with the Vampire" anytime soon, it's Angie's repertoire he should be worried about -- "Original Sin" and "Gia," anyone?

Welcome to Air Angelina

Ever the excitement-seeker, Angelina Jolie was spotted taking flight lessons over the weekend -- making her the hottest pilot we've ever seen. Jolie was training at Milton Air in Burbank, where it's clear she's lost the baby weight after giving birth to daughter Shiloh Nouvel.

TMZ is told she was joined with her baby-daddy Brad Pitt, who arrived later on his motorcycle before jetting to Toronto to promote his new film, "Babel."

No word on the status of Angelina's pilot license but we'd personally love to hear the words, "This is your Captain, Angelina Jolie, speaking" the next time we board a plane.

B-List Baby Pics -- Who's Cashing In?

When A-List stars have A-list babies, paparazzi and tabloids are willing to do whatever it takes to get the pics, even if it means spending millions of dollars. When Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie welcomed baby Shiloh into the world, the first pics were bought by People magazine for reportedly $4.1 million. Baby Suri Cruise's pics are estimated to go for a similar price ... if she really exists.

But what about B-List babies? What price range do they fall into? According to one of TMZ's sources, "Not that much." We're talking less than $5000!!

Hottest Videos -- Week of 08/27

Former party queen Tara Reid has been officially dethroned. The former "Taradise" star was humiliated in front of a crowd of eager partygoers when she was denied entry into an ultra-trendy Hollywood club. Adding insult to injury, as the defeated actress waited on the sidewalk, former BFF Paris Hilton breezed past her and right into the club with her new gal pal, Kim Kardashian. Oh Snap!

Voight to Jolie -- "Regards to....What's Her Name?"

Angelina Jolie's estranged father Jon Voight sent a shout out to his grandkids Saturday, but it seems like absence makes the memory grow weaker -- he royally screwed up one of the names.

At the fourth annual BAFTA Tea Party (BAFTA is the Oscars for Brits), Voight was talking with a reporter on the red carpet when he decided to send birthday wishes to Maddox, Angelina's five-year-old child. That went well, but then things took an ugly turn. Voight also sent well-wishes to "Shakira" -- problem is, he was talking about Angelina's 1 1/2-year-old daughter. Shakira is considerably older -- 29. The correct name -- Zahara. Close, but no cigar. Actors are famous for always getting another chance, and take two was perfect.

Jolie and her father haven't spoken since he went on "Access Hollywood" four years ago, urging her daughter to get help for her "mental problems."

Brangelina's Namibian Sanctuary Up For Auction

Why bother with eBay auctions for Paris Hilton's costume jewelry or Tori Spelling's wardrobe. A true fan goes all out with the purchase of the hotel Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took over for the birth of Shiloh.

Brangelina's hideaway, The Burning Shore resort in Namibia, is reportedly going on the auction block August 30th. The hotel recently became world famous for housing the couple as they awaited the birth of their child Shiloh Jolie-Pitt. The couple allegedly paid $2 million to clear out the hotel for 80 days just so they could be alone and insulated from the paparazzi.

The hotel is flanked by the desert and the ocean so you can build sand castles on the beach and snorkel in the sea.

Just pray that Brangelina aren't sentimental and try to return with brood (and paparazzi) in tow.

Brad's Back!

Brad Pitt was spotted on the set of "Ocean's 13" Wednesday afternoon in Los Angeles. The new father is back to work and looking great. Cameras snapped the superstar all decked out in a dark suit and sunglasses.

Seems that working again has put the actor in a good mood, Pitt was all smiles for the ever-present paparazzi.

After filming wrapped for the day, Pitt ditched the suit, threw on his leathers, mounted his motorcycle and headed out.

Brad and his famous co-stars are being treated like royalty after producer Jerry Weintraub built the cast and crew "Ocean's Club." The exclusive lounge has a stocked bar, poker table and full-time catering.
