LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Could Brad Pitt next appear as Yonni Barrios or Edison Pena on screen? The story of Yonni Barrios (aka Johnny Barrios or Yonni Barrios Rojas) and the 33 Chilean miners could come to movie theater soon with Brad Pitt producing and leading the cast.

Brad Pitt’s production company, Plan B, has reportedly approached the Chilean Miners’ representative, attorney Edgardo Reinoso, to purchase official film rights from the miners. The miners confirm they have received ten offers a day sine their rescue.

Edgardo Reinoso says the miners are expected to set up a company that would handle all their business affairs including film rights.

Pitt has yet to tell news which role he would play. Nor has Pitt indicated if the role of Barrios interests him, the miner who left his wife to be with his mistress. Barrios was nicknamed by his fellow miners as “Doctor Barrios” or “El Doctor House”. He learned skills as a child tending to his mother with diabetes. He imparted those skills to aid his fellow miners.

NEW YORK (LALATE) – News reports that Doug Pitt, Brad Pitt, was named TODAY as Goodwill Ambassador of the United Republic of Tanzania are incorrect. Doug Pitt was named to that position in April.

President Jakaya Kikwete on April 19, not today, named Brad Pitt’s brother Goodwill Ambassador for Tanzania before a packed crowd at NYC’s Essex House on Monday. Pitt was honored for his humanitarian work.

For the event, older brother Brad couldn’t attend due to volcanic ash eruptions at the time from Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcano. Doug works to improve the delivery of fresh water in Africa. He is director of Africa 6000 International. His wife Lisa Pitt was in attendance at the April event.

WEDDING? Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are getting married, their wedding in the works? Brad Pitt Angelina Jolie wedding reports heats up press today.

But is it believable?

2009 was the year of the fake baby bump stories. 2008 was the year of the fake wedding bling ring reports. But now, the new issue of OK! Magazine has reports of not one but two possible weddings on the future.

But is this a question mark or exclamation point story?

First, OK! teases that Miley Cyrus could be getting married, but adds in the question mark: “Also in this issue: Are Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth ready to elope?”

Really?

Second, OK! says Brad and Angelina are getting married, but adds in an exclamation point. “Brad & Angie to Tie the Knot — for the Kids! “  “At long last, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have decided to tie the knot….. Because it would mean the world to their kids!”

Really!

Brangelina didn’t break up nor consult a divorce attorney, as one newspaper claimed. Now Brangelina are suing the British newspaper that started those claims.

Brangelina are represented in England by attorney Keith Schillings. The paper is News of The World, Britian’s highest selling newspaper.

Schillings writes this week:

“The News of the World has failed to meet our clients’ reasonable demands for a retraction of and apology for these false and intrusive allegations which have now been widely republished by mainstream news outlets. We have advised them to bring proceedings which they have now done”.

The newspaper reportedly claimed Los Angeles based famed divorce attorney Sorrell Trope was involved in Brangelina’s “divorce”. Trope writes to the court that such a claim is utterly false:

“I have had no contact from … Angelina Jolie and/or Brad Pitt I have never met … your clients or had any involvement with either of them. The forgoing is true with respect to all other members of this firm.”

The paper has no comment.
