Brad Pitt's gender reassignment

Brad Pitt will help executive produce a new show on the FX Network based upon the life of a transexual gynaecologist. This will be Brad's first major move into the television market, save for his laudable performance in a "Friends" thanksgiving episode.

In the initial script for the new show, the series was to follow the struggles of a pre-op sports writer. This was later changed, some argue, so as not to confuse the audience with the real life story of Mike Penner, a columnist for the Los Angeles Times, who recently announced his own gender reassignment.

Currently there is no official title for the series. At first, it was called "4 Oz", the weight of a non-erect penis. Ryan Murphy, the show's creator, described this as "remarkably light given the amount of havoc it creates for men." However, the working title was changed after people like Harold M Reed, a sexual reassignment specialist, pointed out that the correct weight is roughly 2 oz. for a deflated dick. And we thought men only lied about the length of their cocks...

There is no word on whether Brad will actually appear in the series. We're sure, however, the versatile actor would look great in a fuschia dress!
