好萊塢影星布拉德·皮特的發(fā)言人嚴(yán)詞抨擊《名利場》雜志，擅自在12月號雜志封面刊登拉德·皮特半裸照片。皮特這張僅著短褲與短襪的照片，是藝術(shù)攝影師羅伯特·威爾森于2005年9月拍攝的。拍照時(shí)布拉德·皮特雖簽署了發(fā)行同意書，但沒想到照片會在一年多后出現(xiàn)在《名利場》的封面。皮特的發(fā)言人說：“我們非常失望，《名利場》選擇將一張未經(jīng)授權(quán)的照片放在封面，這讓我們嚴(yán)重質(zhì)疑他們的正直與動機(jī)。”不過，《名利場》辯解說，10月5日即已通知布拉德·皮特的經(jīng)紀(jì)人，將在特別“藝術(shù)”號中使用這張照片，同時(shí)，他們已取得所有使用威爾森照片的權(quán)利，包括皮特的照片。

Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt's representatives hit out at Vanity Fair magazine after it splashed semi-naked photos of the actor on the cover of its December issue. The photos of Pitt -- shown standing in nothing but a pair of boxer shorts and a pair of socks -- were taken by artistic photographer Robert Wilson in September 2005, TMZ celebrity website said. But while Pitt, 42, signed a legal release when the photograph was taken, he was oblivious they would end up on Vanity Fair's cover more than a year later. "We are very disappointed that Vanity Fair has chosen to put an unauthorized cover on their magazine," a spokesperson for Pitt said. "It seriously makes me question their integrity and motives ." A statement from Vanity Fair said Pitt's managers had been notified on October 5 of the decision to use the photo for its special "art" issue. The magazine defended the decision, saying it had obtained the right to use all Wilson's photographs taken as he put together a study of video portraits. "Vanity Fair decided to do a story on Wilson's video portraits and obtained rights to the entire collection of photographs from those sittings, which included Pitt's," the statement quoted by TMZ said. Vanity Fair has a long track record of publishing notable cover photos , most famously a shot of a heavily pregnant Demi Moore posing naked and more recently world exclusive shots of Tom Cruise's baby daughter Suri.
