Actor Brad Pitt‘s brother, Doug Pitt, and sister, Julie Pitt Neal, are making names for themselves in the world of philanthropy.
Brad, Doug and Julie were all born to William and Jane Pitt in Shawnee, Oklahoma, but later moved to Springfield, Illinois. Brad dropped out of a local Missouri University without finishing his journalism degree and moved to Hollywood to pursue his acting career, while the rest of the Pitts stayed behind.
While Brad was working on sets in Hollywood, Doug built a computer company back home and developed his entrepreneurial career (though he has starred in several commercials throughout the years). Julie got married and built a home and family.
The siblings share a love for philanthropy.

Marrakech – Director Sally El Hosaini, whose Working Title-produced “The Swimmers” opened the Toronto Film Festival, is turning her attention to one of the biggest mass murder-suicide stories in history with her forthcoming project “Jones.”
The Welsh-Egyptian director, who recently signed with CAA, told Variety at the Marrakech Film Festival that she began working on the film before making her current feature, “The Swimmers,” but is now rebooting the project towards production. “The Swimmers” is playing at the Marrakech International Film Festival this week.
El Hosaini is casting new light on the story which, she said, has been misunderstood. She has acquired the life rights from Jim Jones’ surviving son, Stephan Jones, she said.
“It’s a very misunderstood chapter in American history,” she says. “People label Jim Jones as a Charles Manson type of character from that era, but if the history had stopped in 1976/7, at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

The British actor met with displaced individuals and families experiencing life-threatening hardship, caused by the ongoing conflict, increased living costs, dwindling support from the international community, and the effects of climate change.
“I’m extremely concerned,” said Mbatha-Raw in a statement. “Away from the headlines, millions of displaced people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are struggling to survive. First, they were forced to flee unimaginable violence, and now, due to severe underfunding and shrinking life-saving assistance, they are forced to make impossible choices that no one should have to make. As the situation worsens, women and girls are also at greater risk of violence. We cannot allow this to continue.

After charting the fashion crimes by The Undertaker and Vince McMahon in previous articles, it seemed only natural that next on the catwalk would be the COO of WWE himself, Triple H. Paul Levesque has wrestled since the early 1990’s and since his debut in the World Wrestling Federation in 1995, he’s gone through a lot of drastic transformations.
Triple H has had some horrendous looks over the years so it’s been hard to narrow it down to just 10. There’s been a lot more leather and latex involved in his performance that you should see on most pro wrestlers but most of the time, The Game manages to pull it off.
Please note WhatCulture.com does not endorses any of the outfits that Mr Helmsley decided would be a good idea to wear in public…

What has been billed as the final batch of Superstars for WWE 2K16 has been confirmed this afternoon.
Here are the names in full: Bray Wyatt, Mikey Whipwreck, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods & Big E), Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady, Stunning Steve Austin, Superstar Steve Austin, Rusev, American Bad Ass Undertaker, Baron Corbin, Brian Pillman, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Konnor, Viktor, Mark Henry, Ministry Undertaker, Ricky Steamboat, Savio Vega, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, Sting ’99, Sting Blonde and finally the two Terminator renders.

There aren’t that many surprises in that grouping since a lot of them are current stars. Legends like Diamond Dallas Page, Bam Bam Bigelow and Lex Luger are all welcome additions to the new game and Finlay has worked backstage in WWE for over a decade, so even though he’s not currently on television, he’s a long time employee and his inclusion isn’t too surprising.

Another batch of Superstars were confirmed for the WWE 2K16 roster this week as Triple H, Booker T, Colonel Mustafa, Eva Marie, General Adnan, Kalisto, Kane, Sin Cara, Summer Rae, Tamina, Emma and Lord Steven Regal were announced as the latest additions to the 120 unique character list.
While most of the reaction was sent the way of Adnan and Mustafa, two of the more controversial Superstars from ‘The Federation Years’, it’s the inclusion of William Regal’s WCW persona Lord Steven that is arguably more of a surprise.
This is because a WCW presence wasn’t expected at all in the new title. 120 Superstars, or so we thought, was just about enough to cover everyone on the current roster, a healthy number of Nxt stars, and a plethora of legends from WWE’s past. Also, a WCW Dlc pack consisting of Bam Bam Bigelow, Diamond Dallas Page,...
