UPDATE! - We've been going back and forth with Clooney's rep all day now and we've finally gotten a firm denial from Mr. Clooney himself, stating he is NOT buying this property. Mr. Clooney told X17online, "Haven't been to France in a couple of years and have no company buying the property." (We actually photographed him in France last year, but no matter ...)

So there you have it ... perhaps it was a Clooney look alike at the estate a couple of weeks ago? Could it be Brad buying the property? We're still working on getting all the deets and will report them as they come in!



Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and George Clooney aren't only BFF's, they're now neighbors!

X17online can report exclusively that Clooney just signed the papers for a HUGE property just next to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's Miraval in the south of France.

As you can see the above shot, the two estates are high in the hills near Brignoles, less than two miles apart. George's new property is a whopping 700 acres and includes a vineyard and an olive tree plantation. Both lots are surrounded by forest containing precious truffles.

A source in France tells X17online exclusively: "The sale was just completed. Clooney came to France a couple of weeks ago to sign all of the papers and to visit the property. The real estate agent didn't even recognize George! She wasn't sure who was buying the house because the papers listed a company name. When she realized it was a famous actor and friend of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's she was embarrassed but excited to meet someone so famous!"

Apparently the property was purchased by a company believed to involve George and Brad Pitt. So is this just Pitt snatching up the entire mountain on which Miraval is perched to ensure privacy? Or are he and Georgie really besties defecting to Europe? George already has his villa on Lake Como in Italy -- now France too?!
