Brad Pitt has one dream he will never achieve - he wants to be a rock star.

Pitt admits he would love to be a music icon and play gigs to thousands of adoring fans - but he has accepted it will never happen as he lacks musical talent.

He says, “Every guy has fantasized about playing to an audience. I still play the guitar but at my age I know I suck. I love music but that dream has gone.”

Keira Knightley was left physically shaken after a fan turned on her with a expletive loaded rant while she was out in public alone.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star was walking alone close to her London home when she was surprised by a overzealous fan who tried to speak to her.

The actress admits she was thinking of future film projects at the time and was shocked by the man shouting her name.

But, when the actress failed to respond to her name being called, the fan became aggressive - calling her a “c**t”. And the star was left feeling “jumpy” by the unexpected taunt.

She says, “The other day I was walking down the street and was really thinking about this book I’d been sent. You know when you’re really in another place. Somebody jumped out and went, ‘Keira Knightley!’ I got such a shock, I couldn’t say anything because I’d been thinking about the book and this guy took incredible offense and started hurling the most amazing abuse. He said, ‘Who the f**k do you think you are? You’re such a c**t.’ All this, and I’m completely on my own.”

And Knightley is finding it hard to recover from the encounter.

She adds, “It’s weird thing to have to deal with, not on a day-to-day basis, but it’s happened enough to make me quite jumpy.”

Eva Mendes is one happy camper.

“I’m big on therapy,” Mendes told me yesterday. “I’ve always said I love talking about therapy, because there’s nothing wrong with it. Why wait until something goes terrible in your life to start fixing things?”

Mendes, 34, has never talked details about why she did a stint in rehab earlier this year, but she did tell me that one of her biggest issues was coping with her own success. “Up until recently, I was really uncomfortable with having success and enjoying it,” Mendes says. “I just couldn’t deal with that. How can I have so much? It’s not fair. How can the world have so little?…I allowed it to mess with me in the sense that I just didn’t know how to handle it.”

Things are different now. “I’ve really broken it down to this simple thing: I deal with everything by giving it away,” Mendes explains. “It’s genius. It works.”

She literally gives things away, like the new pair of Cartier sunglasses she insisted an elderly friend of hers keep when she tried them on. “I said, ‘You need to have them. They look really good on you,’ ” Mendes says.

Speaking of looking good, Mendes has been the center of a censorship storm because of her new steamy ad campaign for the Calvin Klein perfume Secret Obsession. A 30-second TV spot was banned last month by U.S. television networks because it showed part of her nipple.

Mendes could have had the nip slip cut from the commercial (it’s in her contract), but says she found the slight nudity “beautiful and tasteful.”

In director and writer Diane English’s upcoming The Women, Mendes plays Crystal Allen, a smokin’ hot Saks salesgirl having an affair with married businessman Stephen Haines. Like Stephen’s wife Mary (Meg Ryan), Mendes credits the women in her life for getting her through the tough (and happy) times. “I’ve run into some women in my life who are like, ‘I don’t have any girl friends. I only have guy friends,’” Mendes says. “And I’m like to the guys, ‘Run for the hills when you hear a girl who says she only has guy friends.’ That is a bad situation, because all women should have their base of girls.”

Where does that leave her longtime filmmaker boyfriend George Augusto? “He actually grew up with all women in his family,” Mendes says. “His mom has five sisters, so he gets it.”

Mendes first auditioned for English about three years ago. “They were like, ‘Oh, we’re not sure if you can do funny. We’re not sure if you’re the right person for it,’ ” Mendes remembers “But then two years later, they told me I got the part. I’m like, ‘Wait a minute, wait a minute. I don’t know if I want it. Things have changed here, Miss Thang!’ ”

Obviously, she decided to go for it.

Since we never see or hear Stephen—as in the 1939 original, no men get screen time in the movie—did Mendes picture anyone in particular when thinking about him? “Yeah!” she says with a big smile. “It was a very specific person that I had in mind. But I can’t tell you any of that stuff. Those are secrets of the trade.”

The guy accused of stealing a bunch of stuff from Kirsten Dunst is paying for it in spades.

Jarrod Beinerman, 33, was sentenced to four and a half years in jail after pleading guilty to attempted burglary in connection with the theft of a $13,000 Balenciaga bag, an iPod and various other goodies from Dunst’s suite last year at the Soho Grand Hotel in Manhattan.

Pleading to the lesser charge allowed Beinerman to avoid more serious counts of burglary and grand larceny. While not copping to any thievery, the offender “admitted being in the hotel” on Aug. 9, 2007, when the incident took place, defense attorney Mitchell Elman told the New York Daily News.

A spokeswoman for the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office told E! News at the time that security cameras caught two men leaving the hotel’s penthouse, where Dunst was staying while in town to film scenes from the comedy How to Lose Friends & Alienate People.

The Brooklyn-based Beinerman, who already had a lengthy rap sheet and had served three years in prison for his role in a cocaine ring, was arrested shortly afterward during a court hearing on unrelated charges. His accomplice has not been identified.
