Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are suing a London tabloid for claiming that they were planning to split.
The couple's lawyer Keith Schillings tells BBC News that Pitt, 46, and Jolie, 34, have begun legal proceedings against the News of The World tabloid, which reported Jan. 24 that the two had agreed to divide their assets and made arrangements for the custody of their six children, Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, Zahara, 5, Shiloh, 3, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 18 months.

Schillings tells the BBC that the tabloid report contained "false and intrusive allegations" and that the paper failed to meet a demand for a retraction and apology for the article which was "widely republished by mainstream news outlets."

Schillings says Sorrell Trope, a Los Angeles divorce lawyer identified by some publications as advising the two, denied claims that he had been in contact with the couple. "I have had no contact from... Angelina Jolie and / or Brad Pitt," Trope said in a statement. "I have never met... your clients or had any involvement with either of them. The foregoing is true with respect to all other members of this firm."
A spokesperson for the News Of The World has yet to comment.
Pitt and Jolie, who are not married, packed on the PDA Sunday during an appearance at the Super Bowl in Miami. They took their eldest son, Maddox, to the big game.

Please you cant take someone from a person, they want to go along and just because you dont see what is going on inside the home people should keep their opinions to themselves........because if Brad was happy with Jen then he would still be with Jen......men know who they want to be with. Brad said I do not Angie so the only one that needs to be ashame is Brad........... -

i agree with mem. jen is entited to hate angelina! like when she said that what angie did wasn't cool, any woman would feel the same! but then angies fan attacked her for saying that which i don't freaking get, how would they feel if someone took away the person they loved? -

meme, i completely agree with you, i'm sure that most mothers wish they had all the time and money in the world to be with their kids. then there are women who don't deserve to be called mothers, like angelina, who can spend all the time they want to with their kids, but instead, they chose to leave them with nannies. -

Angelina is a ruthless person who will do anything to get what she wants. How dare she hate Jennifer Anniston, did she forget that she was the culprit who seduced Brad away from Jen...If anyone should be full of hate it should be Jen. Further more...having all these babies/adopting kids...why to get raised by nannies? Kids need parents to love them not a full time group of nannies. It seems Brad and Angelina only take the children out for convienant photo opportunities to make them look like such "remarkable parents" and such a well "bonded family." What a farce. Angelina hated her dad for many years because he cheated on her mom...my my isn't that the pot calling the kettle black when how many husbands and relationships has she either broken up or interfered with. Brad looks like hell and angelina looks like a walking skeletion. I actually feel sorry for them. I love my job..I am a teacher and I love my 3 boys equally and if I could physically afford to stay home with my boys and be with them I would love to. I cry every morning dropping off my youngest to my mother because he is the only child that doesn't go to school yet. Then there is this couple with all the money in the world and they can't take a few years out of their life to see what a true joy their children can be...how pathetic -

oh and by the way, many people do good things for people around the world...many celebraties do...but are there pictures plastered all over for publicity? Angelina and Brad are calculating and when you do a true good deed you should not need the world to pat you on the back. -

wow. i think if anything this proves that they really are on the verge of a break up. no rumor ever used to bother them cuz they were happy, now that brad is only staying with her out of guilt for having so many kids with her, she wants to quite these magazines down. they're such whiny losers, much worse things have been said about celebrity couples, but none of them cry about it like angelina does -

ester if you feel that strongly about it, why do you even visit gossip websites? oh and to the comment before mine, i used to think angie was pretty because she was different, but she turned out to be a scary anorexic woman and without makeup her features looks more like flaws. it's a new decade now and people won't make that mistake of giving her the title again -
February 09, 2010 - 1:56pm Says:
Rajeb's girl, Angelina was voted beauty icon of the decade!! Whats is wrong with you? She has flawless skin,barely there makeup,gorgeous eyes, my God those lips!! She is made to perfection! -

And guess what Eli, the media doesn't care for Harrison Ford as much as they care for Angie, lol. That's why the news about her humanitarian work are much more publicized. And what's wrong with that? The point of promoting celebrities charity work is to inspire other people to do the same. The more awareness, the better. Plenty of celebrities talked about what they did for Haiti on the Grammy's red carpet, was that just to clean up an image for you too? You sound just like one of those Angelina haters who claim they can't stand her and yet they write all high and mighty like they knew everything about her life and thoughts. And I'm so glad they're finally suing one of these idiotic tabloids. It's been 5 years of the same crap, I'm sure many of us wouldn't be able to take so much for lies about our families for so long. Enough already. -

This is just part of the Jolie-Pitt public relations stunt to attempt to clean up their tainted image. Same as Angelina going to Haiti now. Guess what Angie? there's plenty of celebrities who have gone to Haiti and returned, and yet they dont make it as public as u do. Harrison Ford is one i'll name. But of course, he doesnt have an image to clean up haha -
February 09, 2010 - 10:03am Jenii84 Says:
@sandy Jennifer cares about haitians too! She donated money and hosted the telethon. Haiti doesn't need every single person over there who donated money, celebrity or not. Why would she want to go over when Angelina is there anyways? Some people are scared to go over there too. I donated money to doctors without borders...does that not mean nothing because I'm not over in Haiti? -
February 09, 2010 - 9:38am sandy Says:
Do any of you read a newspaper? All the hate towards Angelina is ridiculous considering all the good she has done for people around the world. You all are sick and twisted. It's no one's business what happened between her and Brad in the past. Now is now. They have 6 children to protect and love. Stop hating all you haters. Why would you want to see a family torn apart? Stop throwing stones at this woman and recognize that she is the most charitable of people. For all you Aniston lovers...while she's vacationing in Mexico Angelina is visiting earthquake stricken Haiti. Hmmmm...which one has her priorities straight? -
February 09, 2010 - 9:38am Esther Says:
Hope they Sue US as well and perhaps all of these rag and trash tabloids will start acting responsible. You fuel speculation rather than rely on truth and you print unkind things about people who are just trying to live their lives. You act irresponsible and provide masses with a fix for their uncontrolled hatred. Who the hell cares about team Aniston or Team Angie. Why can't people simply be happy that they are happy? -
February 09, 2010 - 9:35am Angelina!! Says:
Awesome! I love them! Long live Brangelina! sorry haters -
February 09, 2010 - 9:35am Kim Says:
While you guys are sitting at the computer spreading your hate, Angie is in Haiti helping the less fortunate. Some of you could learn a lesson from her in humanity. -
February 09, 2010 - 9:34am zara Says:
I'm not Rajeb's girl...it's amazing that a "woman" would use nasty words like that to describe another woman. That's pretty disgusting. It's laughable that you call her ugly since she's a world class beauty. You sound very jealous and immature. Also, why shouldn't they sue a tabloid for lying? They have 6 kids to protect. That rag made money off of lies. Didn't everyone see the photos of Brangelina at the Superbowl....it looks a lot live LOVE. Meanwhile, Jen Aniston is still alone. Why can't everyone realize that Jen had a lot to do with the breakup of her marriage....she is no innocent. -

They should sue US also to for reporting false/fake stories about them! -

Everytime I look at this woman I get that song from "Lady and the Tramp" stuck in my head..."She's a tramp"!
