Brad Pitt's first girlfriend has praised him as "every woman's dream".
Kim Bell - whose maiden name was Hubbard before she wed late husband Howard - dated the 'Moneyball' hunk for two years from the ages of 13 and 15 when they were students at Kickapoo High School in Springfield, Missouri, and she couldn't have asked for a nicer first love.
She told National Enquirer magazine: "He's every woman's dream!
"Brad was a good first boyfriend. I think everybody knew he would be successful in whatever he would do. He had leadership skills. He was sweet and kind."
Kim, 50, admitted she and her husband used to joke about her childhood romance and insists her spouse was never jealous.
She said: "Howard wasn't jealous. We'd watch Brad's movies and joke about it."
Brad recently married second wife Angelina Jolie - with who he raises six children - and his childhood sweetheart thinks he has found "the right one for him."
And Angelina's dad Jon Voight recently admitted he was delighted they had tied the knot after nine years together.
He said: "I'm very happy about it, I'm very happy that I can now legitimately call him my son-in-law, this wonderful fellow who I love, and that they're very happy and the kids must have had a wonderful time at the wedding because they all had their things to do. It must have been very beautiful, I'm very happy for them."

Ed Sheeran believes people only think he's sexy because of his music.
The 'Drunk' hitmaker found it "flattering" when People magazine included him in its Sexiest Man Alive list last year, because he sees it as a sign of his talent as he doesn't think he'd be found attractive otherwise.
He told 'Nightline': "I've never seen myself as a sex symbol, and I think if I didn't play music no one else would [see me that way] either.
"We're attracted to people who are good at things. So being in that People magazine thing is very flattering, because it means people think I'm good at my craft. But I would never say that I'm a sex symbol."
The 23-year-old singer - who is in a relationship with Athina Andrelos - has a host of famous friends, including Taylor Swift, Pharrell Williams, Coldplay's Chris Martin, and Sir Elton John, and he is always happy to turn to them for advice.
He said: "The same thing Taylor said to me was the same thing Pharrell said, same thing Chris Martin said, is just the same thing: Constant humility, constant evolution and be a sponge, soak up your influences.
"Elton John is someone who has done everything right in his career, and everything wrong in his career. He made so many mistakes that he could talk about freely and that's good advice."

Zac Efron is the "furthest thing from a prima donna", according to director Max Joseph.
The 26-year-old actor is currently filming for Max's movie, 'We Are Your Friends', and has been praised by the filmmaker for his professionalism and chirpy mood.
The 'Catfish' host told MTV: "He's amazing. He is a world-class person. He's the first person to say hello to everyone and he's the furthest thing from a prima donna.
"He's extremely professional, always in a good mood and keeps things light. He loves the crew. He's a trooper, and we have a good time."
Max also revealed that the pair work well together and insists he couldn't have had anyone better than Zac to support him in the making of his first feature film.
He explained: "We talk about a lot of stupid stuff outside of the film and show each other videos about other movies and characters and shots that we like.
"He's just been a great collaborator, and I couldn't ask for anything more from the star of my first feature. He really is bringing everything he's got."
Meanwhile, Max is convinced that Zac's role as a struggling DJ in 'We Are Your Friends' will show fans a different side of the '17 Again' star.
He added: "People are going to be really pleasantly surprised. It's a balanced performance, and I think people are going to wake up and say 'Holy s**t, Zac Efron!'
"He was funny in 'Bad Neighbours' and great elsewhere, but this movie really steps up his game."

Matt Damon "owes everything" to Robin Williams.
The 'Bourne Identity' actor and friend Ben Affleck launched their careers with 1997 movie 'Good Will Hunting' - which they wrote and starred in - and he doesn't think he would have enjoyed the life he has since then if the late actor hadn't agreed to take on a starring role.
He said: "Ben (Affleck) and I owe everything to him. He said yes to our movie and he got it made. I could never thank him enough. I look around at the life I have and how blessed I feel and so much of it started with him."
The 43-year-old actor was "shocked" when Robin, 63, committed suicide last month and hopes the tragedy will raise awareness of depression and how debilitating it can be.
Speaking to Yahoo! News' Katie Couric, he said: "I was shocked. I hadn't been in touch with him and obviously, he was battling severe depression and I hope it can start a conversation in the country about depression, just how serious it is and what an exceptionally powerful disease that it is.
"I think it affected everybody in the country actually. We all felt like we knew him and he was a part of our lives."
Matt went on to praise the 'Mrs. Doubtfire' star as the "funniest person" he ever met who could always lift the spirits of those around him.
He said: "He was the funniest person I ever met in my life. He was the guy who, when the crew was flagging, would stop everything and do 20 minutes of stand-up off the top of his head that literally had everybody on the floor and we were like, 'Ok, let's get back to work'.
"He was amazingly generous with that time he gave to help other people but just in life, if you walked down the street and if somebody stopped him he would talk to that person, he engaged with every single person and he understood at some level, the impact that he had on people. He could see people light up when they saw him.
"I think that is what I carry with me... the joy he brought in my life."

Britney Spears is "pretty damn happy" being single.
The 'Piece of Me' hitmaker split from boyfriend David Lucado last month after 18 months of dating but she isn't feeling too upset and is instead focusing on her goals.
Discussing her personal life, she said: "I am pretty damn happy right now."
Asked for advice on being single, she added: "It's all about setting yourself a goal and going for that and just being motivated and staying true to yourself."
When she isn't working, the 32-year-old beauty enjoys doing "normal" activities with her sons Preston, nine, and Jayden, eight, her kids from her marriage to Kevin Federline.
Speaking on 'Good Morning Britain' she said: "I love swimming, I swim all the time, I love going to the spas, I love cooking, I love studying with my boys and doing just normal things like that."
Though Britney is currently in the UK promoting her new lingerie range, she has been based in Las Vegas for several months on a concert residency and admits she loves the routine and can't believe how much she used to travel.
She said: "The way I used to travel all around the world and do a different show every night, I'm like 'How did I do it?!' Promotion is a different story and going to a different city every day like what I'm doing now it's really hard but being based in Vegas and having one show that you just keep going back to, the consistency of that is really grounding and really cool."

will.i.am had no idea Cheryl Fernandez-Versini had remarried.
The 'Scream & Shout' hitmaker was surprised to learn his friend - who he has collaborated with several times since 2008 and managed until last October - had tied the knot with Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini in a secret ceremony in July but was very happy to hear the news.
Asked his thoughts on Cheryl's marriage, he told MailOnline: "She got married already? Oh I didn't even know that!
That's cool! I'm happy for her, that's dope."
Meanwhile, the Black Eyed Peas star insisted he never relaxes because modern technology means he can work wherever he is in the world.
He said: "I don't hang out. I could write songs anywhere, especially with these [electronic] tools available now.
"F**k relaxing what else is there to do? I just like to always work, from one thing to the next thing."
Cheryl's former Girls Aloud bandmate Nadine Coyle - who lives in Los Angeles with fiance Jason Bell and six-month-old daughter Anaiya - recently admitted she heard about the 'X Factor' star's recent marriage from a friend.
She said: "I suppose Cheryl heard about the baby like everyone else.
"She sent a congratulations email. 'It's amazing you're going to be a mummy ...', that sort of stuff. She didn't tell me about her wedding.
"I heard from one of my best friends who came to LA from the UK.
"He said, 'Cheryl got married. Did you see?' He had an English newspaper with him and I thought, 'God, no way!' "

Kathy Griffin is favourite to replace Joan Rivers on 'Fashion Police'.
Programme bosses recently confirmed the show will continue following the 81-year-old comedienne's death earlier this month and now producers - including Joan's daughter Melissa - have drawn up a list of potential new presenters to join longtime co-hosts Giuliana Rancic, Kelly Osbourne and George Kotsiopoulos on the style series.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the shortlist contains both male and female comedians, with 53-year-old Kathy is "serious contention" to take the job.
However, the publication stresses there have not yet been formal discussions with anyone as E! bosses feel not enough time has passed yet since Joan's death.
E! confirmed late last week that the popular programme will continue following speculation about its future.
A spokesperson said in a statement: "We are deeply saddened by the loss of Joan Rivers and, for the last two weeks, have turned our attention to honouring her memory on all of our platforms. We have also thought long and hard about what Joan would have wanted as it pertains to the future of 'Fashion Police'.
"We decided, with Melissa Rivers' blessing, that Joan would have wanted the franchise to continue. 'Fashion Police' will return in 2015 commencing with Golden Globes coverage on Monday, January 12. No further details will be announced at this time."

Nicolas Cage is a "brilliant" grandfather.
The 50-year-old actor's eldest son Weston Cage and his wife, Danielle, welcomed son Lucian Augustus into the world on July 1 and the 23-year-old rocker plans to raise the little boy according to the things he was taught by his actor dad.
Weston said: "He likes [to be called] Grandpa, or Nonno, the Italian."
"He's a brilliant grandfather.
"I believe that a lot of the morals and philosophies that I will teach to my son definitely comes from my father. He was an amazing father to me.
Weston already knows which of his famous father's movies he plans to show his little boy first.
He explained to 'Entertainment Tonight': "The Sorcerer's Apprentice'. Things like magic, all those things are so embedded in a child's psychology.
"Plus it was dedicated to my grandfather, Augustus, which is his middle name."
And Lucian is already showing a keen interest in his father's music.
The 'Tell Me Why (Matriarch of Misery)' rocker said: "He loves music, he's enthralled by it, if I play the mandolin or something, he'll stare at the instrument and watch me, he's mesmerised.
"He loves [the harder stuff], he was in the womb when I was recording [my album, 'Prehistoric Technology'] and when he came out, a couple of months later I was playing the harder stuff and he was moving his head and his hands."
Even when his music takes him on the road, Weston wants to provide Lucian with a stable environment.
He said: "I'll definitely make sure that [Lucian] doesn't have to deal with too many schools back and forth.
"I'll want to get someone that's trustworthy to tutor and provide everything that a school could."

Lenny Kravitz and his daughter Zoe have got matching tattoos.
The 50-year-old rocker and the 'Divergent' actress paid a visit to New York tattooist Tye Harris on Tuesday night (23.09.14) after the 25-year-old beauty went to support her dad while he recorded an appearance on 'The Late Show With David Letterman'.
Sharing a picture of herself getting her left forearm inked, Zoe wrote on Instagram: "Late night tats with @lennykravitz thanks @tyeharris (sic)"
Her tattoo artist shared the same picture and wrote: "Fun times tattooing @zoeisabellakravitz and @lennykravitz tonight. Good folks #facesinthedark #stencilstuff #redemptionaftercare (sic)"
Lenny has previously admitted he and Zoe share a similar sense of style and his daughter - whose mother is actress Lisa Bonet - often raids his wardrobe for inspitation.
The 'American Woman' star previously said: "Zoe has a lot of my stuff. She took all my boas from the 'Mama Said' era. They were in storage, and I yelled at her, 'Don't steal my boas!' She laughed and said, 'Those words would not come out of most fathers' mouths.' "
And Zoe has credited her father for her self-confidence.
She has said: "Yes, it's a cliché, but this industry can be judgmental, and it's easy to feel like you want to change according to what's cool at that moment. My dad has stayed true to himself, and that's led me to do the same."
