The Gossip would like to extend warmest birthday greetings to Brad Pitt, who turns 43 today. After spending the week in New York with girlfriend Angelina Jolie, Brad returned to Los Angeles, where he got revved up for a motorcycle ride Friday:

We can't keep track of every celebrity birthday, but the hunk factor of this pic alone - to say nothing of what a talented actor and good person Pitt seems like - made it impossible to pass up. We just love Brangelina and all the kids (present and future)!
