A London law firm says Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are suing a British tabloid that reported they were to split.

Keith Schillings, of Schillings Lawyers, said in a statement Monday that the celebrity couple had begun legal proceedings against the News of The World newspaper.

The newspaper reported Jan. 24 that Pitt and Jolie had agreed to divide their assets and made arrangements over the custody of their children.

Schillings, whose firm is representing the unmarried couple, says the report involved “false and intrusive allegations.” He says the tabloid failed to meet a demand for a retraction and apology.

Brad Pitt attends Super Bowl XLIV at the Sun Life Stadium on Feb. 7 in Miami Gardens, Fla.

Brad and son Maddox arriving at Miami International Airport (Florida) to atend at Super Bowl.

Despite the fact that Westerns are once more finding it tough to rope in audiences, CBS Films is hoping that an adaptation of long-running TV cowboy series Gunsmoke can overcome that little problem – and the likes of Brad Pitt and Ryan Reynolds are said to be up for the lead role of Marshal Matt Dillon*.

Gunsmoke (which aired as Gun Law some of the time over here) certainly has a history. It began in the early 1950s as a radio serial before transferring to TV in 1955 with James Arness taking over the role of Dillon in a half-hour version that was eventually expanded to an hour. Long considered one of the best US series of all time, it was also the longest running for many years, though the original Law & Order is about to best its season record.

This is about the evolution of a young man (Brad Pitt) in 1950s Midwest to his disillusioned adult adulthood. We trace the evolution of an eleven-year-old boy in the Midwest, Jack, one of three brothers. At first all seems marvelous to the child. He sees as his mother does, with the eyes of his soul. She represents the way of love and mercy, where the father tries to teach his son the world’s way, of putting oneself first. Each parent contends for his allegiance, and Jack must reconcile their claims. The picture darkens as he has his first glimpses of sickness, suffering and death. The world, once a thing of glory, becomes a labyrinth. Framing this story is that of adult Jack (Sean Penn), a lost soul in a modern world, seeking to discover amid the changing scenes of time that which does not change: the eternal scheme of which we are a part…

On its surface, an exploitation film about Nazi hunters doesn’t exactly have “Oscar potential” written all over it. Factor in violent scenes of people having their heads bashed in with baseball bats, gruesome laughs that arrive with the mutilation of characters, and the fact that the movie was inspired by this, and it seems like a downright miracle that “Inglourious Basterds” would be deemed award-worthy.

But award-worthy it is, as evidenced by Tuesday morning’s (February 2) announcement that “Basterds” has hunted down eight Oscar nominations, second only to “Avatar” and “The Hurt Locker.” Once again, the incomparable Quentin Tarantino has displayed his knack for dusting off genres and plot conventions dismissed by pop-culture as unworthy and reminded us of the beauty he sees in those worlds.

“This thing was a gift. It landed in my lap; six weeks later, we were shooting,” Brad Pitt recalled of Tarantino’s stunning script. “You don’t want to change a thing. I compare it to working with a Coen brothers script, because the dialogue is so spot-on. And there’s a music to it, that if you take one step off the trailer, you just muck up the whole thing. And so you stay on course. It was really so defined and laid-out.“
