Tags:AP cited the Emirates Today newspaper as reporting:
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have bought a man-made island in the shape of Ethiopia [the country that the couple's adopted two-year-old daughter Zahara was born] that is part of an ambitious luxury development off the coast of Dubai.
The Hollywood power couple intend to use the reclaimed piece of land to showcase environmental issues and encourage people to live a greener life.
The couple's purchase is part of cluster of 300 islands, shaped like a world map, that is gradually surfacing in waters off the booming Gulf emirate.
Representatives of the pair in the US and other reliable sources had confirmed the purchase had gone ahead.
