(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Brad Pitt has refused to be interviewed by Jennifer Aniston's close friend Chelsea Handler, according to reports.

The actor has been promoting his new movie Moneyball and has done several television and magazine chats recently.

But he has apparently turned down the opportunity to speak to the acerbic late night talk show host who has also made rude jokes about his partner Angelina Jolie in the past.

"Chelsea would love to have had Brad on her show," an insider told The Huffington Post.

"She's had some of the biggest stars in the world on her show to promote their films. She's had Gwyneth Paltrow visit and even Jennifer Aniston, but Brad said no way."

Moneyball opened up in theatres this past weekend and had a strong box office start with $20.7 million in earnings but he seemingly felt he did not need the extra publicity from Chelsea.

"It would have been great if he had agreed to do an interview with Jen's best friend Chelsea," the source added. "If he's still as good [of] friends with Jen as he says then he would have done E!"

"He's full of it and Chelsea knows it. That's why he wouldn't talk with her, he doesn't have the balls."

However, after Chelsea lambasted Angelina during her standup routine in December 2010, it is perhaps not surprising that Brad did not want to speak to her.

"She can rescue as many babies from as many countries as she wants to," Handler said last year. "I don't f**king believe you."

"She gives interviews, I don't' have a lot of female friends'. Cause you're a f**king c**t. You're a f**king b***h."

Brad recently came under fire for saying that he led an "uninteresting" life while he was married to Jennifer. They split in 2005 after five years of marriage and he later went on to have six children with Angelina. (C) Cover Media
