Sources may be dismissing the Brangelina breakup rumours, but recent reports that Brad Pitt has bought a Hollywood Hills bachelor pad are doing nothing to stop the speculation.

According to a report in Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper, Brad has bought a $1.1 million (Dhs4 million) home in the Hollywood Hills which he’ll move into while he and Ange sort through the separation. The two-bedroom house comes complete with a cave in the foundation and is said to have had Brad’s eye for some time.

A source tells the publication, “He decided now was the right time to buy because he wanted a place to call his own. He needs somewhere quiet that doesn't have memories of Angie where he can be alone and think about what he does next.”

Let’s hope he has mirrors in the new house so he can finally shave that ghastly beard!
