BRAD PITT - PITT PURSUED BY TYSON

Hollywood hunk BRAD PITT had a tough time dating ROBIN GIVENS - because he spent so much of his time running away from her furious ex-husband MIKE TYSON.

Givens and Tyson went their separate ways in 1989 after just a year of marriage, and the actress later embarked on a romance with Pitt, creating a string of woes for the actor.

In an interview which aired in America yesterday (05NOV04), Givens told OPRAH WINFREY, "I can remember Brad and I running from Michael. I can remember being in my house, sort of snuggling and tucked in bed (while Michael was) knocking on the door.

"This is no way to have a relationship, with him knocking on the door... or showing up."

Pitt is now happily married to former FRIENDS star JENNIFER ANISTON.
