BRAD PITT - PITT SUPPORTS GRIEVING ANISTON

Hollywood heart-throb BRAD PITT has reportedly cancelled his OCEAN'S TWELVE promotional activities in Britain to support his wife JENNIFER ANISTON as she mourns her close friend's death.

The former FRIENDS actress is taking a break from filming new movie DERAILED in London to fly to New York with Pitt to attend her late pal's funeral this weekend (18-19DEC04), reports British newspaper THE SUN.

A source says, "Jennifer is devastated when she heard her friend had died. Brad just wants to help her through this really tough time.

"Jennifer is Brad's number one priority. He didn't think twice about dropping everything for her. His career is important, but Jennifer comes first.

"Despite constant rumours their marriage is in trouble, they are stronger than ever."

Pitt and Aniston were set to join celebrity pals MADONNA, GUY RITCHIE and chef JAMIE OLIVER at the actor's 41st birthday party on Saturday (18DEC04) at London's The Penthouse nightspot, but the party has now been cancelled.
