In an interview with Australia's Studio 10 talk show, Melissa Etheridge confessed that that she and her then partner Julie Cypher had considered Brad Pitt as a sperm donor for their children. The couple wound up choosing Crosby, Stills & Nash member David Crosby, despite the fact that Etheridge was good friends with Pitt at the time. The couple chose Crosby for several reasons, particularly because he had children of his own already whereas Pitt did not.
