Brad Pitt BruiseWatch: Publicist Denies Battering Of Client's Pretty Face
Because no blemish, eruption, shaving mishap, ingrown hair, minor laceration, or any other maxillofacial impact with potentially chilling cosmetic consequences for one of Hollywood's most perfect faces must go unreported, we give you this claim—and immediate publicist denial—of the alleged, tragic bruising of Brad Pitt:
The Fight Club star was spotted at the posh L'Avenue restaurant on Monday, where patrons claim he looked a little worse for wear.
A fellow diner at the restaurant tells magazine In Touch, "He had a nasty bruise on his face, a swollen lip and eye."
The star spent most of the night at the pricey restaurant, enjoying a four-hour dinner with a friend.
Pitt's publicist Cindy Guagenti claims, "There is nothing wrong, he does not have any bruises or cuts."
Scoff if you must at such a seemingly trivial matter, but realize that the half of Pitt's acting career not involving the removal of his shirt is completely dependent on the complicated articulation of that possibly damaged face. If Pitt's ability to twist his countenance into his trademarked "Do you smell that?" pose (requiring the coordination of dozens of highly trained muscles) was compromised by an injury, his professional future could be imperiled. His publicist should be applauded for her swift defense of her client's livelihood.
