Brad Pitt has checked in to a Los Angeles-area hospital with a flu-like illness, his publicist, Cindy Guagenti, said Tuesday.

The 41-year-old star, freshly back from last week's trip to Ethiopia (where he reportedly assisted Angelina Jolie in picking up a 2-year-old girl she was adopting), checked himself in on Monday night, according to Guagenti, who adds that the hospital name is being kept under wraps for security reasons.

She said she was not aware if Pitt might have contracted the illness while in Africa. "I think he has the flu," Guagenti tells the Associated Press

It must be one hell of a flu to require hospitalization.
