Reports that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have purchased a man-made island in the shape of Ethiopia off the coast of Dubai are "completely made up", Pitt’s publicist tells The Celebrity Truth.
The story, which originated from the newspaper Emirates Today and was subsequently picked up by news organizations around the world, stated that the couple had purchased one of 300 man-made islands that are shaped like a world map, within a project called ‘The World.’
The report also claims that Pitt and Jolie intend to use the island to showcase environmental issues, and states that "Developer Nakheel declined to comment on the couples’s purchase. But reliable sources said the deal had gone ahead – and this was confirmed by representatives of the pair in the United States."
The Celebrity Truth contacted Pitt’s publicist, Cindy Guagenti, who stated that this was certainly not the case and that the story is false.
"It’s not true and completely made up," Guagenti said.

No.It is not right. Pitt and Jolie have announced it at their personal blog on a biker site called Bikerster com. They have even posted three photos about the man-made island.
Brad and Angelina first visited The World back in 2005 and rumours have since been circulated that they had fallen in love with Dubai and wanted to buy an island.
