Fiction Purveyor Unfairly Sued by Bradgelina

The News of the World, the major British tabloid, is being sued by Bradgelina.  It printed a story claiming that the photogenic superduperstar twosome were (this being in England) headed for two onesomes and were dividing up their very charming moniker, very handsome bank accounts and very international children.

Every important and respected media outlet in the United States and People Magazine immediately reported on the report, the fact of the report itself being worthy of reporting.

You would think that Brad and Angelina, who kicked each other's butts in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", would be getting in some stretches in preparation of a rebuttal, but they have kids now.  Instead, their representatives stated emphatically that the story of the impending breakup was not, is not, all that accurate.  They asked for an apology and, maybe a few hundred million pounds (which are more than dollars any day). 

Did News of the World do the right thing?  Ha!

Now, Bradgelina's Brit lawyers are doing the pleading.  On parchment.  With wigs.

I'm sorry, but, in my view, Brad and Angelina are being daft nits.  The News of the World is owned by Rupert Murdock, for God's sake.  The same guy who owns FOX News and almost every tabloid that ever printed a photo of a martian baby with a tattoo that looked like Jesus Christ.

Surely, a couple so super that they only need one name can have only one opinion about this.

It's Murdock.  It's fiction.  Option the rights.

(Uh.  Did I mention I do screenplays, too?)
