Brad Pitt doesn’t come on screen until close to the end of the movie, but he pretty much plays the only nice white man in “12 Years a Slave.” He was actually offered the role of the slave owner, which ultimately went to Michael Fassbender. Brad says he turned the part down because he didn’t want his kids to see him in that role.” Despite the cruelty depicted in the movie, director Steve McQueen insists that the main theme is love. He says, “This is a man who believes in his soul he will be reunited with the people he loves.”

Kelly Clarkson admitted to Jay Leno that she and her new husband had been practicing like rabbits to make a baby since they were married last month. And guess what! She announced yesterday on her Twitter and Facebook that yes, she and Brandon Blackstock are expecting their first child. She said it’s the “best early Christmas present ever.” Kelly also told Jay that she never wanted kids before, but now she wants, “like, five!”

I’ll never forget the day when I went to see Duran Duran and half the seats in the arena were blocked off with a black curtain. I’ll never forget the day when I saw the Backstreet Boys playing for a barely full house that only seats 4000. Yes, there does come a day when the girls stop screaming quite as loudly and when the masses stop showing up for your concerts. And that may what Justin Bieber is about to realize. His 8-show Australia tour kicks of November 26, and according to one ticket outlet over yonder, many tickets are selling for half of their original price. And some tickets — including seats in the front four rows — are still available for just $79 with no bids. According to the head of Viagogo, sales decreased by 23 percent after Justin’s visit to a Brazilian brothel hit the news. Sales went down another 18 percent after that chick posted a selfie video of Justin passed out on a pull-out sofa.

Even though news leaked early, Adam Levine has been named People’s Sexiest Man Alive. Carson Daly unveiled the cover during last night’s episode of “The Voice.” Carson asked Adam how he felt about the honor, and Adam said, “Sexy.” Duh. Inside the magazine, Adam says he stays in shape with yoga and spinning classes. He loves cuddling puppies and being naked. He also can’t wait to settle down with his fiancee, Behati Prinsloo, but says they still don’t have an actual wedding date.

Kendall Jenner turned 18 two weeks ago and poo-pooed the idea of doing porn. But yesterday on her Instagram, she introduced us to her nipples in the most subtle way she could think of — wearing a sheer black top. Of course, Kendall has to deal with the haters. (#PrayForTheHaters) But her big half-sister Khloe took to Twitter to defend her, saying, “I love seeing all of these haters comments. Naomi, Kate, Cindy…. All fabulous models…. Models and photographers take beautiful artistic images. And I don’t hear you birds chirp then. Sit down and enjoy the view! #SorryNotSorry” Enjoy the view???
