In terms of celebrity reveals it's difficult to go past the, frankly, entirely enjoyable one that Brad Pitt reportedly missed the Oscars because he was too busy working on his sculpture.
A source close to Pitt told celebrity bible TheHollywood Reporterthat on the night Moonlight - the movie produced by his company Plan B Entertainment - won Best Picture (well, didn't win and then won, and oh lord let's put this behind us), Pitt was "otherwise engaged", holed up creating a sculpture at British artist Thomas Houseago's Frogtown studio.
A compelling personal journey with David Stratton, as he relates the fascinating development of Australian cinema history. Trailer: Transmission Films.

Musician Sean Lennon has released a song he co-wrote with the late Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher. The track, titled Bird Song, also features Willow Smith.
"They're all trying to kill me," screams the British songstress, when she is attacked by a scourge of mosquitoes during her Brisbane concert ... to the crowd's delight.
According to the same source Pitt has amassed quite the art collection with his soon-to-be ex-wife Angelina Jolie, and one might suspect Pitt now has quite a lot of emotion to channel into his art following the messy separation and custody battles with Jolie.

So it makes sense that the other reveal of this week is that Pitt has started texting his other ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston. According to Us Weekly, Pitt tracked down Aniston's number through a "tangled web" of contacts (the couple divorced in 2005 after five years of marriage) to wish her a happy birthday on February 11.
No word if he did this while also working a pottery kiln and pondering his life choices up to now.

Aniston meanwhile, long billed by the glossy magazines to be "sad Jen" who was alone and spent all of her time walking on the beach, alone, alone, alone, has had the last laugh. Not only is she happily married to her partner of six years, Justin Theroux, but Pitt is the one texting her.
Oh, and asBuzzfeed noted, this week she also became everybody's spirit animal as she left the Oscars parties.
Chalking this one up to Aniston 1, Pitt, a gold star for effort for his lumpy creation.
