Brangelina’s Island
Manolo says, Sit right back, and you shall hear the tale, the tale of the fateful trip…
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have bought a man-made island in the shape of Ethiopia that is part of an ambitious luxury development off the coast of Dubai, a newspaper reported yesterday.
The Hollywood power couple intend to use the reclaimed piece of land to showcase environmental issues and encourage people to live a greener life, the Emirates Today newspaper said.
The couple’s purchase is part of a cluster of 300 islands, shaped like a world map, that is gradually surfacing in waters off the booming Gulf emirate. Representatives of the pair in the US and other reliable sources have confirmed the purchase.
And now they have their own island, just like the super villains!
Since the name Ethiopia is surprisingly already taken, the question now becomes, what to name this newly acquired bit of heaven?
Naturally, the Manolo has the few suggestions.
Brangelinastan
The Peoples Republic of Jolie-Pittia
The Island of Lost Stars
The He-Men Paparazzi Haters Club
“Pitti.”
That Dubai development is the biggest affront to environmentalism since the Exxon Valdez spill.
Ditto to Raincoaster.
Has anyone done an environmental impact study on that project? Somehow, I don’t think changing your incandescent bulbs over to compact fluorescent will cover the enviro-tab.
I can’t believe they would actually live in a country where there is so much trafficking of women and children yet they deny the existence of prostitution and homosexuality. In fact, despite being foreign, rich, and underaged, you can’t get a break in the UAE:
