Brad Pitt is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Wired magazine. For some strange, unknown reason … Pitt thought it would be best to promote his new WWII era film Inglourious Basterds by appearing on the cover of the tech mag. Yeah, I dunno. Here is our first look at his Wired magazine cover and some info about his piece:

Brad Pitt even looks hot in a headset. The star of Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming Nazi-scalping action flick Inglourious Basterds graces the August cover of Wired magazine, and PEOPLE.com has a first look. Pitt, 45, sports a wireless cell phone headset and gives advice – in his Inglourious character – on a variety of subjects, including conduct at work, etiquette and those sometimes awkward cyber dilemmas. “Who cares if your Warcraft wife is really a dude,” Pitt is quoted as saying on the cover. “If it’s good, don’t check under the hood.” According to Wired, Pitt was intrigued by the magazine’s May Mystery issue, which featured Star Trek director/writer J.J. Abrams, and he wanted to break away from the traditional celebrity magazine story. For the photo shoot last month, Pitt came alone to the Smashbox Studios in West Hollywood and was photographed by portraitist Dan Winters. The August issue of Wired hits newsstands July 21. Inglourious Basterds is due in theaters Aug. 21.

Hahhahaha … it sounds like Braddy boy really had a fun time with this Wired magazine piece. I’m pretty sure Wired is about the only magazine that Brad Pitt hasn’t appeared on … so I guess it was only a matter of time.
