Less than a week after Kate Winslet revealed herself as a celebrity hero — a welcomed addition to our growing celebrity hero action team – we have another beautiful face to add to the Celebrity Hero poster that we’ll be sending out to all of the families of firemen and people who work in emergency rooms for free, if that’s a thing, and inner-city school teachers in the US, so they can know at least know what a real hero LOOKS like. Brad Pitt! From the Huffington Post:
Pitt was in the midst of shooting a scene [of World War Z] in which fearful masses rush through Glasgow’s George Square … One woman, involved in the stampede of fearful Scots, fell over amidst the madness, and was in danger of being trampled upon by her fellow extras. Then in came the hero; according to the Scottish Sun newspaper, Pitt rushed over, scooped up the woman and carried her off to safety.
First, I’m glad that this woman is not dead. Second, scooped up and saved by BRAD PITT, FOR REAL? “I’d get almost trampled by a mob of extras any day if it meant I could be scooped up and saved by WILL COLBERT.” – Women. Alternatively, “Where’s the nearest mob of people I can fall into?” – Jennifer Aniston. AM I RIGHT? Ugh what am I even doing. But finally, what I’d really like to say is: Almost trampled by a mob of EXTRAS? Oh come on. They weren’t really running for their lives, you know. They probably would not have trampled her to death. Probably, they would have stopped and realized that they’re getting $100 for the day and that’s almost but not actually enough to trample someone to death just because you’re so IN IT right now. “I’m a method extra.” – Extra’s defense after murdering this woman. But, whatever. Yay celebrity heros! Hooray Hollywood! Keep ‘em coming!

In related news, Brad Pitt is the fourth celebrity in the past few weeks to be seen having a quiet conversation with an eyepatched Samuel L Jackson.
“Fearful Scots?”
I could have sworn they were Pennsylvanians.
They were Pennsylvanians named Scott. Sadly enough, Scott Stapp did not survive.
“Sadly”?
A lot of people are not fans of his work, but I welcome him with arms wide open.
facetaco, I don’t know if I can handle Creed puns today, so I’m going to Stapp you right here.
good news for Alterbridge fans.
Or, expressed as the title of an episode of Friends, The One Where Nothing Happened.
In the inevitable “Celebrity Heroes: First Class”, Paltrow is so going to be the one who betrays the rest. Rather conveniently the casting department can just recast January Jones, Evil Sidekick as January Jones, Evil Sidekick. That one’s on me, Hollywood.
I am officially over celebrity heroes. When are we going to get celebrity villains? I will not be satisfied until Stanley Tucci has usurped the power of the gods, or Angelina Jolie threatens the worlds supply of Phlebotinum from her secret volcano lair.
Your move, celebs.
Challenge accepted.
Finally, it’s January’s time to shine!
And here I thought we were going to have to wait another 4 months!
Rebutted:
I have this fun new game I play where I read a Videogum post without checking to see if it’s from Gabe or Kelly, then try to guess who wrote it (I’m very popular). It’s actually a pretty hard game! What I’m trying to say is you’re funny Kelly and good job at your job.
this woman should just be thankful that this stampede was a planned, controlled stampede of extras for the movie, and not a chaotic, uncontrolled stampede of extras rushing towards the food table when the bagels are restocked. Extras be loving ‘dem bagels, and not even TWO brad pitts could have saved her from that.
When is Brad Pitt going to save someone from drowning, because I have a really good “Pitt:1 Oceans:11″ comment lined up.
Also, I am working from home today (Thank you, Irene/MTA), so today I’m writing all my comments in my pajamas, Zuckerberg style!
Wait – you’re working from home today because of subway problems? Shenanigans! I was riding the R train at 7:30 this morning!
I always work from home, isn’t it wonderful? I’m actually not allowed to shower ’cause of flooding/water concerns. Shows you, Irene. I wasn’t gonna shower anyway!
Lucky! I would LOVE to work from home; that way I wouldn’t have to be ready with the alt+tab every time my boss walks by. You east coasters have all the luck!
he’s pretty.
“Method extras.” HAHA. Nice.
Aren’t all extras in danger of being trampled upon by their fellow extras?
