This may be old news to some, but it's news to me and I didn't see a thread about it. It's being reported that they'll split their 366 million fortune and share custody of the six kids. How heartwarming!

I can't recall the exact quote, but it brings to mind Joan Rivers' comments last week when she said... that marriage will be over as soon as he (Brad) puts down the joint, sobers up, and wonders "where the hell did all these kids come from?".

I have yet to see any for of confirmation in the US. The only ones reporting it are foreign press and they are all leading back to the British tabloid.

As of early this morning both their reps denied this. This story seems to pop up every month or so. Unless this is new and they come out and say they have split, I treat it as simple gossip on slow news day. Only thing I am seeing is blogs reporting on the initial story.

It was reported on MSNBC this morning. They also haven't been photographed togther in some time and Brad skipped the SAG Awards last night even though he was nominated for his ensemble work in INGLORIOUS BASTERDS, although he participated in his pal Clooney's Haiti fundraiser the night before.

Well, I just checked Hollywood Reporter,People Magazine,Variety and Nikki Finke's site and got nothing. Perez Hilton is reporting that both their reps have denied this story but I can not seem to get an official confirmation on that. I would have guessed this would be everywhere if true and I hope it's not true.This is not a new story. Rumors have been going on for months so I am hoping it is just that.I would like to see either both of them make an official announcement denying it or have their reps release a statement.I guess time will tell. Very sad if it turns out to be true. Still, am I the only one who finds it strange that the only source is a foreign tabloid? No other source is being sited.Why would so many news sources jump on this if it were just a rumor and not true? Stay tune.....

Brad told me yesterday the story was false.

He said to tell everyone on the Internet that the story is false.

You can say, "A source very close to Pitt said the story was false."

Romantico, that made me laugh. HARD.

LOL! Me too!

I was reading the actual report and something struck me. Check this out:

"But the paperwork is already organized for a break up and for it to be as un messy for them as possible. It is clear it's a case of when they break up rather than if."

Notice the 'when they break up/if they break up?' So, can't the source of the story be protecting his ass and win either way? If they stay together,he can still say the story is true. If they do break up he can also say he was right. I find this kind of reporting very irresponsible. Here is the full text of the report:


According to a bombshell report In Sunday's English newspaper The News Of The World, Hollywood golden couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are set to announce their break up "soon".

The News of The World reports that the couple, who have never legally wed but have six children
together as well as several businesses and homes, have secretly consulted with divorce lawyers and signed a $205 million split deal.

The report says that the megastar couple have agreed to equally divide their immense fortune and to equally share custody of their children, although they will live full-time with Angelina.

The News of The World claims that preparations for the split began in early December when the couple met with a top Los Angeles divorce firm to thrash out the details of their split deal. They go on to report that an announcement of their split is expected to be made soon.

A source told The News of The World, "The document was signed in early January. Both Brad and Angelina had signed it.

"The contract was like a tailor-made version of a prenuptial agreement except for an unmarried couple's split.

"It seemed clear they want the world to know they'll both play a part in the upbringing of the children.

"But Angelina will actually be the one who lives with them full time."

The News of The World says that the divorce lawyer they consulted is "regarded as the best in the business", is based in Beverly Hills and has worked on a string of celebrity divorces and splits.

The source added, "There's no date for when the contract would come into effect.

"But the paperwork is already organized for a break up and for it to be as un messy for them as possible. It is clear it's a case of when they break up rather than if."

Speculation of a break-up has been rife for months and the pair have not been photographed together in public in recent days. Usually the famed philanthropist, Angelina was noticeably absent from George Clooney's Hope For Haiti telethon on Friday night, where Brad made an impassioned plea for help for the Haitian people, and rubbed shoulders with ex-wife Jennifer Aniston.

Last month the couple failed to show at The Golden Globes despite Brad's movie Inglorious Basterds being nominated for several awards. Instead Brad went to watch The New Orleans Saints play, while Angelina stayed in California.

In a recent interview Angelina said that she believed fidelity was over-rated, telling German magazine Das Neue, "Neither Brad nor I have ever claimed that living together means to be chained together. We make sure that we never restrict each other.

"I doubt that fidelity is absolutely essential for a relationship. It's worse to leave your partner and talk badly about him afterwards."

And in his scandalous tell all book
, biographer Ian Halperin gave insight into the fiery couple's relationship, saying that when they first met they had 20 hour sex sessions, but that "sex soon wears off".

"She has brought a lot of good things to him the children, for example," Halperin wrote. "But he didn't know what he was getting into, and that's why I think they're going to split."

I'm with you Stock. People pay way too much attention to them (and others).

It sounds like they signed a pre-nup and Halperin is peddling the story as a divorce to publicize his book.

Yawn.

I usually shrug these events off with "no surprise" but if this is true, I AM surprised. I guess I was naive in thinking this was a really committed and permanent relationship.

stupid me.

Hell yes romantico! That picture is classic!

I never liked Angelina. I was always on Jen's side.

"Was kinda hoping Jen would get her Letterman moment."

Why does everyone think Jennifer has been doing nothing but sitting around, moping about her break up with Brad?

She's moved on. Maybe it's about time for others to do the same.

Never said that, Diva. I just think she deserves a nice public, indulgent yet classy guffaw.
