BRAD SPLIT
News of the World

HOLLYWOOD golden pair Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have seen DIVORCE lawyers and signed a £205 million split deal, we can reveal. The world’s most famous couple legally agreed how to divide their fortune and who gets custody of their six kids. The megastars have agreed to equally divide their vast fortune – and to SHARE their six children.

Dynamite legal papers secretly signed by the couple this month detail how all their homes and assets will be carved up. The agreement gives them joint custody of the kids – but all six will actually live full-time with their mum.

Preparations for a split began in early December when "Brangelina" visited a top Los Angeles divorce firm to begin thrashing out the deal. An announcement of their separation is expected to be made soon – ending months of speculation that the five-year relationship is on the rocks…
Are entertainment celebrities crazy to start with, or does it come with the job [and the money]? When they enter the made-up world of their roles, and then are inserted into the made-up stories in the Tabloids, does it all then begin to feel like reality? Why do they live near each other and hang around with together? What is it about their lives that inspires people who stand in lines at grocery stores to pick up magazines about them? Why are the Evening News and Entertainment Tonight the same length? Why am I talking about this?

I can only comment on the last question. Last night, I watched the telethon about Haiti, and I got to wondering why a group of people who devote their lives to pretending to be someone else, speaking the words written by someone else, getting rich by appearing to be someone else, living melodramatic  Brangelina lives, get chosen to make the appeal for donations to the poorest of people, ensnared in the realest of dramas? It seems backwards…
