EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt from the top to the very bottom.

Brad Pitt has spoken out about his split from Angelina Jolie in a revealing interview with GQ.

The couple announced their intention to divorce last year, and Brad was investigated for possible child abuse after losing his temper in front of their children.

Brad said that he and Angelina will not engage in an “ugly” custody battle, and are working together to keep things friendly.

I see where the one spouse literally can’t tell their own part in it, and is still competing with the other in some way and wants to destroy them and needs vindication by destruction, and just wasting years on that hatred. I don’t want to live that way.

He also revealed that he quit drinking since the split, after alcohol became a ‘problem’ for him:

I can’t remember a day since I got out of college when I wasn’t boozing or had a spliff, or something… Truthfully I could drink a Russian under the table with his own vodka. I was a professional.

I was boozing too much. I’m really happy it’s been half a year now, which is bittersweet, but I’ve got feelings in my fingertips again.

Glad to hear he’s doing better. (GQ)

Serena Williams’ fiancé Alexis Ohanian seems to be just in awe of her, which is absolutely correct.

Last month, the tennis champ announced that she and Ohanian are expecting a baby, due in September.

Speaking to Humans of New York at the Met Gala, the Reddit founder gushed about his wife-to-be:

She has the biggest heart. Everyone sees her success as an athlete, but all of that is layered on the size of her heart. She gives 100% of herself to everything she does: as a friend, as a lover, and soon, as a mother.

Aw. Shtop.

Please look at this trailer for Brendan Gleeson’s new film, in which he plays an old man who just wants to live in a shed. He wears a FACE MASK WITH CUCUMBERS ON HIS EYES.

Also starring Diane Keaton as Diane Keaton. Hands up if you would 100% watch this? *meekly raises hand*
