Brad Pitt thought his luggage felt a little light when he left Italy last summer.

In town to do some good and herald the premiere of his new film, Burn After Reading, the actor was unexpectedly presented Wednesday with the Best Actor trophy he won last year for The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford during the opening ceremony of the 65th Venice International Film Festival.

"You can run but you can't hide," Pitt said, accepting the engraved gold cup from the mistress of ceremonies, who also congratulated him on the twin additions to his family.

Kellogg's

It’s a sad day for Wheaties. Kellogg’s beat out the “Breakfast of Champions” for the honor of featuring Michael Phelps on Corn Flakes and Frosted Flakes cereal boxes.

Does anyone else miss the iconic orange background that usually goes along with Olympic victory? And “Better eat your Frosted Flakes, son” doesn’t sound nearly as inspiring.

Of course, nutritionists aren’t too happy about the switch either, since Tony the Tiger’s cereal has three times the amount of sugar as Wheaties and only a third of the fiber, neither of which help the fight against childhood obesity.

They have a point. We definitely ate more Frosted Flakes than Wheaties growing up, and look where we are—blogging. So, kids, remember that next time you're in the cereal aisle. Also, skip the Lucky Charms and Fruity Pebbles—that stuff does nothing for you. Except make you a better blogger.

Michael Phelps is one proud young man and rightfully so. The 23-year-old graces the cover of the upcoming issue of Sports Illustrated, showing off his toned bod and those eight Olympic gold medals he scored in Beijing.

And given the super swimmer's newfound star power, ladies all over the world are aching to know about more than just his sporting stats.

Rumored to be dating either fellow breaststroking babe Amanda Beard or model Lily Donaldson, Michael stays mum when questioned about the issue.

"My private life is my private life. I have to keep something private. You guys know everything else," the Olympian tells Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM show.

Ugly Betty had a beautiful night at the 2008 ALMA Awards.

Not only did the recently relocated series take home the award for best Latino-led ensemble cast at the Sunday ceremony, but star America Ferrera walked away with the top prize of the night, Entertainer of the Year.

Ferrera earned the accolade not only for her work on the ABC hit, but for her offscreen efforts to encourage youth to become politically active.

The 24-year-old star also brought her magic awards touch to La Misma Luna, an indie film in which she had a small part. The movie took home the Special Achievement Award for a Spanish-language motion picture.
