Hollywood Buzz:
BRAD PITT wore a bunch of different outfits for a photo shoot with "Interview" magazine . . . including an eye patch and dreadlocks


TMZ has posted a picture of a kid who appears to be JUSTIN BIEBER playing BEER PONG. A source says this game took place in either Canada or Georgia. But it was last year, when Justin was 17 . . . so even if it was in Canada, he would have been too young to drink alcohol . . . which the source says he DID.

Charlie Brown is coming to a theater near you . . . in November of 2015. That's when the first "Peanuts" movie hits the big screen. (--2015 marks the 65th anniversary of the debut of the "Peanuts" comic strip, and the 50th anniversary of the "Charlie Brown Christmas" TV special.) It's being made by Blue Sky Studios . . . the people behind "Rio" and the "Ice Age" movies. And it'll be directed by Steve Martino, who did "Horton Hears a Who!" and "Ice Age: Continental Drift". And if this matters to you, the son and grandson of "Peanuts" creator CHARLES SCHULZ helped with the screenplay.
The new seasons of "Community" and "Whitney" were supposed to premiere NEXT Friday . . . but NBC has pushed back them INDEFINITELY. The shows are NOT being canceled, but there's no word when they might be back on the schedule. Supposedly, we'll find out in the "next few weeks."
The nominees for the "40th Annual American Music Awards" were announced yesterday . . . and RIHANNA and NICKI MINAJ lead everyone with four nominations. Drake, Justin Bieber, Maroon 5, One Direction and Usherhave three apiece. ABC will air the ceremony live on Sunday, November 18th. So far, CHRISTINA AGUILERA is the only performer that has been announced. This is the first ceremony since DICK CLARK'S death. He created the "AMAs" . . . so naturally the show has a big tribute planned. As usual, YOU will choose the winners. Voting is open NOW at AMAvote.com.
