Don't Believe the Island Hype!

Posted Nov 14th 2007 2:00PM by TMZ Staff

Did Brad and Angelina purchase their very own private Ethiopia? No way!

Something called Emirates Today Online reported that the couple was purchasing a man-made island in the shape of the African country that is in "The World" development just off the coast of Dubai.

Don't believe what you read folks -- Brad's rep tells us this story is not only totally untrue, it's completely made up.

Maybe next they'll print that Borat is buying Kazakhstan!

5. The man-made island development is true though. There was a huge story about it on the Discovery Channel several months ago. Here's the website

6. How is "totally untrue" substantively different from "completely made up?" More fine reporting from the geniuses at TMZ. These "journalists" are not only stupid, they're not very smart.

But what do expect from mean-spirited teenagers whose highest aspiration is to write for "Page Six.'

7. Nope. Instead, Brad and Angelina are buying the REAL country of Ethiopia and adopting all of its children. True story.

8. #5 - I think with the "totally untrue"/"completely made up" comment they were either making fun of Brad's rep or simply being facetious.
