    Brad Pitt is once again trading the silver screen for green building, as he recently announced a collaboration with LA-based architecture firm GRAFT to design a 5-star "green resort" in Dubai. We're not sure if "Dubai" and "green" really belong in the same sentence, and we're also skeptical about the project oxymoronically being called both "socially-conscious" and "an 800-room luxury hotel and adjoining leisure complex," but we'll wait to see how it unfolds. No details or location have been announced yet, but we can only hope that given Brad's friendship with Frank Gehry and his commitment to Global Green, it'll be as beautiful and green as the superstar claims.
