BRANGIE SPLIT PR STUNT?

Insiders speculate the recent hub-bub about big Brangie"bust-up much ado about nada" was nothing more than a PR stunt orchestrated by Brad and Angie themselves?!

What you say?  What the deuce?! Say WHAT?!

"Think about it: If you were Pitt and Jolie, and you were not in the Oscar running, and therefore threatened with irrelevancy by the likes of Jeff Bridges ... until March ... what would you do," a writer Joal Ryan blogged.

Pitt & Jolie seemingly checked off a list of sure-fire media grabbing tactics including Pitt's Billy Goat Gruff goatee, and adopting yet more children.  How about visiting/ giving millions to a disaster stricken country?

The next biggest headline grabber?

Break up, natch.
