Singer and music producer Tsunku (37) has suggested that he might start a male version of the hugely succesful Morning Musume. Speaking at an event in his hometown of Higashi Osaka, he hinted that the group would only be open to good-looking and talented guys from the local area. The event was actually to promote a new image song for the city written by Tsunku, and the idea for a new boy idol group may or may not have been an ad lib. We’ll have to wait and see.
• Hollywood superstars Brad Pitt (41) and Angeline Jolie (30) will be in town at the end of the month. They’ll be here to promote the movie that brought them together romantically in real life, “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” which opens here on December 3. No doubt the world’s media will be in tow, watching for more signs of impending marriage between the two. As it will be their first official public appearance together since the finalization of Pitt’s divorce from Jennifer Aniston, some are even hoping that the trip will be used to make the big announcement.
