Pitt and Clooney at Venice debut :

The Venice Film Festival has opened with the premiere of the Coen brothers' dark comedy Burn After Reading.
The film, starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt, is showing out of the competition at the annual event.
Before the screening, the stars posed good-naturedly for pictures and signed autograph books for fans lining up along the red carpet.
There are 21 movies competing for the coveted Golden Lion this year, with entries from Ethiopia and Turkey.
The festival continues with a fly-on -the-wall film about fashion designer Valentino Garavani - billed as a glimpse into a world of bygone glamour.
The movie was directed and produced by special correspondent for Vanity Fair magazine, Matt Tyrnauer.
