Brad Pitt Has Viral Meningitis

Pitt45.jpgBrad Pitt is a seriously underrated actor. You may not like all his movies, but the performances Pitt gives are always top notch (You MUST see him in 12 Monkies).

Anyway, Pitt has been diagnosed with a “mild case of viral meningitis“. Here’s what the good folks over at The Globe and Mail have to say:

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 her newly adopted baby girl, the second child she has adopted. Guagenti declined Wednesday to say if Pitt contracted the illness while in Africa.

Yup… even the beautiful famous people get sick I guess. Get well soon Brad… Jennifer wants you healthy for divorce court.

    The man is 41 years old, and looks the same as he did when he appeared for some episodes on Head of the Class, he didn’t age, and we love him! He’s a great actor, and drug abuser? MY ASS! Steroids maybe, but not to abuse them you wichsfleck! And he probably got Viral Meningetis from Jolie, okay probably not, but i’m suprised that no jackass has posted that yet. Ya know, seems how we got people on here who like to talk down to poor people.

    Trenzer YOU ARE AN ARSCHLOCH, GOT IT! ASSHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLE AMIO!
