The hunk's newest big screen outing is zombie movie World War Z, and the actor says although his sons are rather impressed by the sci-fi action role, his daughters would prefer to watch singer-and-actress Gomez on screen.

Pitt quipped in an interview with Access Hollywood: "If it’s got Selena Gomez in it or something they’ll be interested in it. I gotta work on that for the next one.

He added: "I earned some points with [the boys] and they gave it a thumbs up."

Pitt and Angelina Jolie raise six children together, Maddox, Pax, Knox, Shiloh, Zahara and Vivienne and the three girls are said to be big fans of the star's TV show Wizards of Waverly Place.

Gomez has previously revealed how nervous she was about meeting Pitt at an awards show.

She explained: "So I was in my dressing room and I had just finished performing. They knocked on my door and they said, 'Brad Pitt would like to come in,' and I was like, 'He can come in.' I was trying to play cool and be really nice. As soon as he walked out I ran and I hid under the craft service table for like two minutes because I couldn't believe it was happening."

The festival, now in its fourth year, features 19 live musical acts over the two days and is being headlined by ska legend Neville Staple - one of the leading figures of the UK music scene in the early 1980s as a singer with The Specials and later Fun Boy Three. Staple will be backed by some of the UK’s top tribute acts including those to Paul Weller and The Jam, The Who, Oasis, Stone Roses, The Commitments and Pink. Original bands include The Mannequins (which recently signed its first record deal), Zeb Roots, Old Town Souls, Poesi, Lone Crows, Absolution and local acts Andy Hill and Oblivious.

The images range from pictures of the band on stage, rare session shots to photos for record sleeves. The images are the work of Jam fan and one time band photographer Derek D’Souza and were recently featured in the London exhibition Absolute Luck which brought plaudits from the band’s former Lead singer Paul Weller who said: “These pics bring back so many memories. It is great to see these pictures in print after all these years.”

The Canadian couple turned heads last year when they revealed that they were engaged together - an announcement that largely came out of the blue.

Speaking to Hello! UK, Lavigne said that their love was ignited when they were creating music together for her new album. She said:

"It evolved into this wonderful thing. When you're sitting there singing across from somebody into the microphone and you're singing a love song, you start to develop these feelings for that person, and it just blossomed into this thing."

Speaking about their wedding, the 'Sk8er Boi' star added: "Some things will be a surprise. Some things will be what he likes and still will surprise him! Our wedding song will be a duet we recorded together for my new album."

Lavigne meanwhile won a gong at the MuchMusic Video Awards on Sunday night (June 16) for her 'Here's To Never Growing Up' promo.

She opened the famous event with a stunning rendition of her hit 'Never Tear us Apart' at London's Royal Opera House and at the after party she explained to presenter Rick Edwards that it was a stressful time for her because she was so nervous:

"I cast my eyes down and saw who was there and just died a little bit inside. Then my hands started shaking involuntarily and I was like ... now's not a good time, I told myself off and carried on."

She revealed that a well-known Hollywood actor praised her performance: "Samuel L. Jackson just came up to me afterwards and said, 'You did an amazing job!'"

Faith added that she wasn't drinking at the BAFTAs because she's currently on tour: "I'm actually on a middle of a tour so I've got to play Sheffield tomorrow and I want them to get the price of a ticket ... not Hungover Paloma."

Watch a red carpet interview with the star from the 2013 BAFTAs below:

Cowell said that what's truly important in the grand scheme of their career and the industry is that they continue to have a strong and supportive fan base, and manage to sell albums:

"You know what's more important? Fans, record sales, I've always said that. Maybe next year they'll get something."

When asked by MTV News if the lads were bothered by the snub, he admitted that they are "not complaining" and have exciting projects ahead to keep them busy and entertained.

Watch the heartthrobs talk about dating below:

The Sun newspaper reports that the One Direction heartthrob explained how he misses being able to make decisions and have fun without worrying if he will be photographed by the paparazzi or ambushed by fans:

"The fact that you could literally go anywhere, say anything and no one will judge you for it. Now, if I was seen going to do something stupid like go to a kids’ playhouse or something to be childish, people would look at me strangely.”

Meanwhile, the lads picked up 3 awards at last night's MTV EMAs for Best UK and Ireland Act, Best New Act and Best Fans, and they took to their individual Twitter pages to thank their fans for helping them win.

Member Liam Payne wrote: "Thank you to everyone who voted for us at the EMAs! You are the best fans everrrr! Thank you for everything you guys do . Love you allllll."

Although the ceremony isn't set to take place until next month, they were crowned winners of the category this afternoon and will now go on to compete for the high-profile Worldwide Act prize.

Member Liam Payne thanked the group's fans for voting and tweeted: "Just heard we won the award for Best UK & Ireland Act at this years EMAs!!! Thank u all sooooo much."

Louis Tomlinson added: "We're so happy and incredibly honoured to have won this. Once again our amazing fans have done us proud - thanks so much as always to you all!"

The MTV EMAs will be held in Frankfurt on November 11 and One Direction are also up for the Biggest Fans and Best New titles, for which they will compete against the likes of Lana Del Rey, Carly Rae Jepsen and Rihanna.

Watch the boyband's record-breaking music video for 'Live While We're Young' below:

The lads performed at the MTV VMAs, where they also won all 3 categories in which they were nominated in, and Buchanan took to social networking site Twitter to air her views on the awards ceremony and the 'One Thing' hitmakers in particular:

"Aw just watching One Direction perform at this years VMA's! Their really taking over the US! I'm so happy 4them. Stalked them on xfactor lol."

"Ps: Is it legally ok for me to perv on Zane yet? Or Harry? I'm not fussed. Who ever hits 18 first really."

She returned to Twitter earlier today and told her followers about a cringe-worthy dream that her mother had: "Oh my daze! LOL (sorry mum) My mum just told me that she had a dream that her & Usher went on a date!!! :-| Shall I throw up now or l8r? :-|"

The teen star picked up the UR Fave Artist award at the event in Toronto on Sunday (June 17).

However, the website reports that when Bieber left the stage with his award, he was accosted by a number of enthusiastic fans.

They say one fan grabbed onto his award so hard that Bieber thought it was an official from the ceremony - and that she would later give back the award.

A representative for the Canadian told TMZ that he "feels bad for getting the girl's hopes up" and that he would like to give her a replica award, once the real one has been returned.
