“No, you can’t talk on the phone! Do you want the guy next to you to hear your entire conversation? That’s why you should only text in the bathroom. Just be sure you don’t hit the wrong button and end up putting a photo of your junk on Twitter. Trust me, you don’t want those followers.”

Inglourious Basterds star Brad Pitt offers his advice on cell phone and online etiquette, when it comes Twitter, Internet dating, and text messaging, in the August issue of Wired Magazine, arriving on newsstands July 21.

Taken From Wired’s slapstick “Ask a Basterd” article:

Brad On Ashton Kutcher Tweeting A Picture Of Wife Demi Moore’s Butt: “Don’t take a picture of your wife’s butt. That’s silly. Take pictures of other people’s wives’ butts.”

Brad Encourages Lying About How Much Money You Make When Trying To Find A Date Online: “Everyone lies online. In fact, readers expect you to lie. If you don’t, they’ll think you make less than you actually do. So the only way to tell the truth is to lie.”

Wired Asks, Can I Talk On The Phone While Taking A Whiz? “No, you can’t talk on the phone! Do you want the guy next to you to hear your entire conversation? That’s why you should only text in the bathroom. Just be sure you don’t hit the wrong button and end up putting a photo of your junk on Twitter. Trust me, you don’t want those followers.”

Brad Pitt says he’d never take a photo of Angelina Jolie’s booty and post it online.

In August’s Wired, the Inglourious Basterds star, 45, is asked what he thought about Ashton Kutcher Tweeting a picture of his wife Demi Moore’s behind.

“Don’t take a picture of your wife’s butt. That’s silly,” he tells the magazine. “Take pictures of other people’s wives’ butts.”

As for online dating, Pitt warns those looking for love on the Internet.

“Everyone lies online,” he says. “In fact, readers expect you to lie. If you don’t, they’ll think you make less than you actually do. So the only way to tell the truth is to lie.”

Wired also asked if it’s acceptable to talk on the phone while using the bathroom.

“No, you can’t talk on the phone!” Pitt declares. “Do you want the guy next to you to hear your entire conversation?”

Pitt says texting on the potty is acceptable, however.

“Just be sure you don’t hit the wrong button and end up putting a photo of your junk on Twitter,” he says. “Trust me, you don’t want those followers.”

Jaws dropped last month when Sony Pictures canceled the $50-million Brad Pitt movie Moneyball only days before it was scheduled to start shooting – but now, apparently, the studio is working to shut those mouths.

The West Wing writer and creator Aaron Sorkin has been brought in to do a quick re-write on a script that Sony had ultimately deemed too arty and documentary-like in approach, reports The New York Times.

The studio also hopes to add Oscar-winning producer Scott Rudin (There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men) to the movie’s creative team.

Based on Michael Lewis’s nonfiction book about the Oakland Athletics and their general manager Billy Beane – who assembled a star Major League team despite a lack of a major bank account – the movie’s original script was by Ocean’s series director Steven Soderbergh (who was to have directed Moneyball) and screenwriter Steven Zaillian.

According to The Times, should Sorkin finish his script in due course, a new director will be hired, Pitt will stay involved and Moneyball will start to roll this fall.

Poor guy! We’d give him a lift!

Brad Pitt broke down while riding on his motorcycle and had to hitch a ride with surrounding paparazzi. Wanna talk about awkward?!?

It’s rarely a good sign when a movie studio decides to put a film into turnaround only a couple of days before it’s slated to begin shooting — especially a film from an Oscar-winning director and starring one of the biggest-name actors on the planet. But that’s exactly what happened to Brad Pitt’s next project, the Steven Soderbergh-directed Moneyball, which was supposed to start filming today in Arizona.

However, insiders explain to OK! that this delay in production, which is reportedly due to last-minute conflicts over the script, may end up working in Brad’s favor — psychologically and physically.

“The location shoot for the film would have kept Brad away from his family, who are all with Angelina Jolie while she films Salt on the east coast,” says the insider. “But with Moneyball on hold, he won’t be jetting back and forth or have to worry about being a long-distance dad. Brad is free to do what he wants until this situation with the film is resolved.”

Some sources tell OK! that Brad already took advantage of the schedule change by flying east to join Angie and the kids for Father’s Day weekend.

One thing Brad might want to do with his free time, says the insider, is hit the gym. “Brad’s character in Moneyball, Oakland A’s manager Billy Beane, is in the kind of shape Brad used to be in, but anyone who’s looked at photos of him recently can see this is not the ripped hottie from Fight Club,” explains the insider. “Maybe he should stop riding his motorcycle and take a spinning class.”
