Brad Pitt & The Professor — His New Love For Brainy Women

Brad Pitt has shocked Hollywood by being romantically linked to a big-brained college professor — but that's just the latest twist in a new obsession that's bad news for Jennifer Aniston!

MIT professor Neri Oxman is a respected artist and architect who bears a certain resemblance to Angelina Jolie. Sources aren't denying that the divorcing star has been spending time with Neri — but also insist that Brad and Neri aren't "romantically involved." Brad's pals, however, aren't surprised that the star is sparking rumors with an intellectual pursuit.

As earlier reported by The National ENQUIRER, Brad retreated to a Hollywood art studio during his brutal divorce from Angelina. “Art is a way for him to concentrate on one thing,” said an insider, “and take his mind off everything else. He’d rather do that and be constructive than go out partying.” But it wasn't long before Brad began to seek out romance in the L.A. art scene!

Brad recruited stunning young model Kellie Johnson into a secret project — and she also kept him company at exhibitions and VIP events. “Kellie’s married,” reported a source, “so she’s introducing Brad to her gorgeous friends!” But, added insiders, Brad's new love for the arts doesn't leave much hope for a reunion with first wife Jennifer!

“Justin Theroux immediately started dating an artist after splitting from Jennifer,” said a source, “and he'd even complain to his pals in New York that Jen wasn't smart enough to be part of the art scene. Now it seems that Brad isn't looking for anyone who seems like a typical Hollywood actress!"
