Brad Pitt Takes Chris Cornell"s Kids to Universal Studios, Gives Us All the Feels
Folks, no matter where you fall on the political spectrum, we think it’s safe to say it’s been a bit of a tumultuous year.
Sure, 2017 hasn’t hit quite as hard as 2016 in terms of untimely celebrity deaths, but as we approach the halfway mark, there’s no question that some of the bonafide greats have shuffled off this mortal coil.
Just two weeks ago, for example, the music world was shocked by the death of Chris Cornell, the iconic Soundgarden and Audioslave singer who passed at just 52 years of age.
Cornell had many famous friends, and he’s been widely mourned both in Hollywood and in the Seattle music scene that he helped to create.
Among the most recognizable of the late legend’s A-list buddies is Brad Pitt.
Pitt was said to be devastated by Cornell’s death, and sources say he sank into deep depression upon hearing the news.
Word of Cornell’s passing reportedly reached Pitt within 48 hours of the death of Brad Grey, one of Pitt’s oldest friends and longtime business partner.
As you probably know, it had been a rocky few months for the newly single (and newly sober) screen icon, and losing two close friends back-to-back could have easily pushed Brad into a dangerous downward spiral.
But it seems Pitt’s a stronger believer that sometimes, the best way to help yourself is to reach out and help someone else:
That’s Brad with Cornell’s two youngest children, 12-year-old Toni and 11-year-old Christopher, at the Universal Studios theme park in LA.
The trio reportedly hit up the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, where they were spotted sipping on Butter Beers.
(Unlike the beverages served up at the Three Broomsticks, Universal’s Butter Beer is entirely N/A.)
Little is known about Brad and the kids’ visit to the park, but we imagine Pitt simply wanted to do something nice for some kids who recently lost their dad.
It’s not gonna bring Chris back, or solve any of the world’s major problems, but the gesture no doubt made a tremendous difference two young people going through a difficult time.
Let’s all take a moment to reflect on the impact that a single kind gesture can have in the confusing and chaotic universe we all inhabit.
Okay, cool.
Now that that’s over, you can get back to flaming each other on Twitter.

Blake Shelton To Universal Records: Stop Ruining Winners of The Voice!
Blake Shelton is not about to let the latest winner of The Voice become a casualty of mismanagement from Universal Records.
Blake mentored Sundance Head throughout the competition and played a huge part in why his act managed to win the crown.
Sundance Head was already a contestant on American Idol Season 6, so Blake no doubt wants to make sure he does not slip into oblivion again.
Speaking to reporters after Tuesday’s season finale, Blake had much to say on the matter.
“I want to say one more thing here, because it’s important. I want to personally issue a challenge to Universal Records. This is Season 11 of ‘The Voice,’ and I’m sitting here right now next to a guy who has won over America’s hearts,” Blake said.
“He’s so popular. He has proven that he sells tons of music… I hope that we can all come together — meaning us and Universal Records-[because] this is the guy that I think can break the mold and become a star out of this show.”
There’s no denying that Universal Records has a terrible track record of making any of the winners of the show have much in the way of longevity.
It sucks because people expect to have their career carved out for them after winning the show, but few of the winners have actually released an album.
“I give my word that I’ll put my work in, and I know [Sundance] will,” Blake said.
“This guy deserves to be a star, and there’s no excuses anymore. We need to make the record and put the work behind it that he deserves, to have this success that he deserves. And that has to start with Universal Records getting involved and behind him.”
“We do so much great s**t for these singers, and then they go to a record label that I won’t mention. But they go to a record label that f**ks it up,” he said.
There’s nothing like telling it how it is. Right?
Universal Records have yet to respond to Blake’s comments, but they certainly won’t be happy about them.
How would you feel if someone was trashing your record label?
Maybe this will be the thing that leads to Blake parting ways with the show.
There has been rumblings that he and Adam Levine are close to being finished with the show.
Maybe they’re just sick of nurturing these artists to just disappear.
It’s a tiring process enough without watching people lose their chances.
Either way, we’ll need to stay tuned to find out whether Sundance Head goes the way of the flip phone.
Sound off below with your thoughts on the matter.
