We’re a little confused by today’s revelation that Brad Pitt wants to cash in on the success of Brokeback Mountain by asking his reps to find him a gay role. We thought he’d already covered that part of his professional acting career (and pretty well if you ask us) with Interview with a Vampire and Fight Club.

Says a “source” who could very well just be a bitter Jennifer Aniston spreading gay rumors:

A source said: “Brad has asked his people to find him a script to play a gay man.

“He wants it to be a story that appeals to both men and women and he wants it to be the edgiest work he’s
done.

“He’s seen the critical acclaim that Brokeback Mountain has won and he wants a piece of it.

We’re taking guesses as to who else will jump on the Brokeback bandwagon. Will other stars take the risk by playing queer? Clint Eastwood? Sylvestor Stallone? Tom Cruise? Well, we guess Cruise has already has that checked off as well. Let’s see, there’s Top Gun, Interview with a Vampire (natch), and the never-ending saga that is His Entire Life.
