Don’t believe the Internet buzz: Brad Pitt is not getting his own museum in his hometown of Springfield, Missouri.

Reports circulated that the town planned to honor the 44-year-old actor, but Susan Wade, the public relations manager at the Springfield Convention and Visitors Bureau, tells Usmagazine.com: “It’s a bogus story.”

Wade explained the false rumors got started when she first spoke to OK! Magazine last year.

“I was quoted in November saying, ‘We JOKE that we need a Brad Pitt museum,’” she says. “Changes were made to the quote. I think it started in Thailand Wednesday morning.”

But that’s not to say Springfield doesn’t love Pitt and his family. The clan recently popped by a local Chuck E. Cheese’s. See pics here.
