LOS ANGELES - Actor Brad Pitt has been hospitalized with a flu-like illness. Pitt, 41, checked himself into an undisclosed Los Angeles area hospital Monday night complaining of flu-like symptoms, his publicist Cindy Guagenti said Tuesday. There were no other details and the name of the hospital wasn't disclosed for security reasons.

Pitt was in Ethiopia last week with his "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" co-star Angelina Jolie to pick up the actress's newly adopted baby girl, the second child she has adopted. Guagenti said it wasn't known if the actor contracted the illness while in Africa.

"I think he has the flu," the spokeswoman said.

The "Troy" and "Fight Club" star separated from "Friends" actress Jennifer Aniston in January after 4 1/2 years of marriage and she filed for divorce in March citing irreconcilable differences.

Mmmm. Nice!

TSteven, feel free to post as many token Brad Pitt pictures as you like.

I think this is where I should inform you all that I will no longer be able to concentrate on the task at hand. Or anything else for the rest of the day.

Here you go. But only pictures where he is wearing his Sigma Chi shirt or other Sig paraphernalia. Alas, this is the only other one I know about so I hope you can make due with these two for now.

Yum!!!

Well, it's obvious what needs to be done to rectify the situation. Someone here on GC needs to send him some more SC shirts, but they must be at least one size too small.

Damn that man is sexy.

I bet he's got SARS. That's what happens when you hook up with people before your divorce is final

Oh...my...gosh. sigh.

I put these pictures in an email that I sent to several girls that I wrote recs for. I entitled it "just in case you need another incentive to go Greek." I was a Sigma Chi little sister, back when fraternities were able to have those. There were a BUNCH of good looking guys, but... well.... sigh.

Were? I believe that statement should be in the present tense. As in the following.

"They [Sigma Chis] ARE a BUNCH of good looking guys..."

The ones at my campus (Brad's chapter!) were so hot...except they got kicked off campus my sophomore year so they're no longer around, I think as soon as they can come back though they will, lots of strong alum support around here.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand, I hope Brad feels better soon, and my GOD those pictures are ridiculously hottttt.

Brad Pitt Diagnosed With Viral Meningitis

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Actor Brad Pitt has been diagnosed with a mild case of viral meningitis and was released from the hospital Wednesday, his publicist said.

Pitt, 41, checked himself into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Monday night complaining of flu-like symptoms. He went home Wednesday afternoon, publicist Cindy Guagenti said.

"The actor is at home and doing well," she said in a statement.

Most patients recover from viral meningitis in a week. Severe illness and death is uncommon, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Pitt was in Ethiopia last week with his "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" co-star Angelina Jolie to pick up the actress' newly adopted baby girl, the second child she has adopted.

Guagenti declined Wednesday to say if Pitt contracted the illness while in Africa.
