Brad Pitt is putting his money to yet another good cause. On Wednesday, the actor donated $100,000 towards fighting California’s November ballot initiative that would overturn the state Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage.

“Because no one has the right to deny another their life, even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn’t harm another and because discrimination has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against Proposition 8,” Pitt said.

The actor’s political and philanthropic advisor, Trevor Neilson, told the AP that Brad was surprised his peers in the entertainment industry had not donated more money to support the battle against Prop. 8

Earlier this week, both Pitt and girlfriend Angelina Jolie announced they donated $2 million to fight HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis in Ethiopia.

Heidi Montag turned the big 2-2 Monday with a picnic with beau Spencer Pratt.

“I got some amazing gifts and a cake that said, ‘Happy Birthday, Princess Heidi!’” she said Tuesday on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show.

And although Pratt didn’t surprise her with a ring, he told Seacrest their engagement “is definitely imminent.”

As for that rock, Pratt (who was previously engaged to Montag before they briefly split) said, “she’s dreaming big.”

Pratt added that Montag has also been nagging him about starting a family.

“Heidi talks about lots of kids all the time,” he said. “She wakes up with these great dreams about five kids.”

Montag then interrupted, “I want, like, four. Maybe I’ll adopt 10. I want to have my own orphanage like Mother Teresa.”

For now, Pratt said, “I am fighting her everyday - [she wants] kittens and puppies.”

Has Montag’s latest milestone given her a change of heart when it comes to foe Lauren Conrad? (On Monday’s episode of The Hills, both admitted they miss each other.)

“It’s hard to say, and I don’t talk to her about it,” Montag said. “Obviously, a part of her misses me, and we were close. It’s natural to miss each other.”

Look back at Lauren Conrad’s BFFs over the years.

But she doesn’t want the bickering to carry on.

“I’m 22 now, so I’m really grown up,” she went on. “Life is really short, and I don’t need negative energy. There are children who are sick in the worst and, like, important matters, and it’s such a waste of time to be fighting and angry.”

Eva Longoria is blasting bump watches.

“I wish people would just chill out,” she says on tonight’s special 15th season premiere of Extra when asked about those pregnancy rumors. “You’ll know when it happens.”

She says she recently bonded with Jennifer Garner, who also faced pregnant speculation months before she announced she was expecting her second child.

“When I saw her she was like, ‘I know. They just need to chill out. They’re going to find out eventually,’” Longoria recalls Garner as saying.

And while she insists she is not pregnant, Longoria says she’d wait three months before breaking the news anyway.

“You just don’t say anything for health reasons,” she said. “You just want to make sure everything’s okay.”

“It’s funny because [bloggers] are like, ‘Oh, Eva is wearing baggy clothes,’” she went on. “It’s not like I dressed like a hoochie mama before!”

Longoria adds that she and husband Tony Parker “can’t wait to start a family, and I’m so excited about that chapter in our lives, but I’m just not now.”

Jessica Simpson was put in the hot seat on Thursday’s The View, answering a slew of “true” or “false” questions from Barbara Walters.

Moving in with Tony Romo?

“No comment,” Simpson said. “I gotta get used to saying that!”

Pregnant?

“They must have me confused with my sister!” she said. “I’m definitely not pregnant.”

Walters also asked if she has ever had to change her cell phone number and email address so ex boyfriends can’t contact her.

“True,” said Simpson, who has romanced John Mayer, Adam Levine and Jude Law, since ending her marriage to Nick Lachey.

Look back at Jessica Simpson’s famous Us Weekly covers.

This isn’t the first time she had dropped an interesting bit about an ex. (In September’s Elle, she vaguely mentioned, “I have definitely experienced abuse in a way that I would tell people to take their heart and run.”)

She says she is in a better place now, admitting that she isn’t afraid to speak publicly about her romance with Romo.

“I believe when you are in love, you might as well stand up on the mountaintop and say it,” she said on The View.

See who’s more in love: Jessica or Ashlee Simpson.

On the Late Show With David Letterman Thursday, she poked fun at critics who accused her of jinxing Romo’s career.

“I really think it’s because I was wearing a pink No. 9 jersey and not a blue one,” she said.

“If you had been in blue that wouldn’t be a problem?” asked Letterman.

“Well, so far I’ve been wearing blue, and they’re doing great,” she replied. “I’ll never wear a pink one again!”
