Brad Pitt, who entered the hospital Monday night with what was described as a "flu-like illness," was discharged from L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Wednesday afternoon after being diagnosed with a mild case of viral meningitis, his publicist announced.

"The actor is at home and doing well," publicist Cindy Guagenti says in a statement.

Viral meningitis – generally regarded as serious but rarely fatal in persons with normal immune systems – involves inflammation of the tissues covering the brain and spinal cord. Most patients recover from viral meningitis in a week, with severe illness and death uncommon, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Perhaps this will make him feel better:Angelina Jolie was spotted spending more than $1500 on undies and other items at the upscale London erotic emporium, Coco De Mer.

The London Mirror reports that the sultry actress frequents the lingerie and toy store and has been spied flipping through books on sexual positions and playing with feather ticklers and blindfolds. "Angelina's not embarrassed by anything at the shop - she loves it all and buys quite a lot. She's in here whenever she's in the country. But her most recent trip a few weeks ago was the most she has ever spent. Brad's one lucky guy," said a source.

"Angelina bought sexy, lacy underwear and sex books. She loves looking through the new underwear. There are all sorts there: panties, G-strings, half-cup bras which are all incredibly erotic. She likes them all," said the tattler. "She also loves anything that's made of leather and they sell lots of basques and bras made out of black leather."
