Brad Pitt was a no show at a recent charity event that was raising money to help the environment back on October 31, 2009.
According to celebrity news reports, the green celeb was offered an appearance fee of up to 5 million dollars (a figure that is questionable) to attend the Grand Prix Ball in Abu Dhabi on Halloween night.
However, despite the lucrative financial offer, he still bailed out. Why?
A source told Life and Style magazine: "He's spending more time with the family and doing less of these appearances, even though it's a huge sum of cash."
A spokesperson for the event - which featured performances from Beyonce Knowles, Aerosmith and Timbaland, and raised money for clean water charity Fresh2o - admitted Brad had been expected to attend and was unsure why he had shunned the huge appearance fee.
James Magee, a representative for Global Event Management, said: "We were told he would be attending as the guest of the Tourism Development and Investment Company. But he was a no-show, and nobody seemed to know why."
However, if you follow the tabloid news spy pics, the answer is as plain as the cape on Pitt's back.
Brad took Halloween night off to take his new children trick or treating with girlfriend Angelina Jolie while the family was in California. Both celebrities went in full costume, as did all of their older children. [The youngest twins stayed home.]
That may make him a bad celeb for failing to support an environmental charity event, but in our book it means he was being a great dad and husband-material for the Brangelina kids.
