Celebrity Prankster Identified
Defamer was speculating about this about this 10 days ago, but tonight on Letterman, George Clooney confirmed that it was Brad Pitt who took out the full page ad in Variety Magazine that pokes fun at Clooney being named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for the second time (apparently Brad has also won twice).

Sure, it’s a pretty hilarious jab, but the thing about this story that really caught my attention was the realisation that when pals like Brad Pitt and George Clooney play pranks on each other, they often drop big sacks of cash.
According to Variety’s Print Advertising Rate Card, if Pitt’s ad was inserted in Variety’s Hollywood Weekly Magazine it would have cost $17,430US while a one-time Variety National Ad run would have cashed-out at $23,220US.
Ladies, witness sexy rich boys at play…
