Mr. Pitt Has a Posse on His Tail

Hunting season just opened in the Canadian province of Alberta, and the game is a species rare to those Rocky Mountain foothills: the A lister. The Calgary press is hot on the trail of BRAD PITT, who is in Fort Edmonton Park filming the title role in The Assassination of Jesse James (and not, as it may appear here, a Ralph Lauren ad). The Calgary Sun has devoted six writers--10% of its editorial staff--to coverage of the star, who dyed his golden locks to play the dark outlaw. The Sun's rival, the Calgary Herald, set up a hotline for tipsters to call in their Pitt sightings. The Herald updates readers almost daily on Pitt's outings, such as a trip to a local dinosaur museum with his Mr. and Mrs. Smith co-star Angelina Jolie and her two children. The good news is, Canadians haven't had to read about Avril Lavigne in weeks.
