“BP stands for British Petroleum, but it may soon be equated with Brad Pitt,” began a recent piece in the New York Daily News, which claimed the actor “is interested in making a dramatic film about the BP Gulf Coast oil spill − not surprising given that Pitt is enamored of the region.”

The item then noted how Pitt owns a home in New Orleans, and that his “Make It Right Initiative helps communities there rebuild in the wake of Katrina.”

This rumor, not surprisingly, spread to a number of sites – like PerezHilton – that still haven’t bothered to clean up their reporting.

But Gossip Cop looked into it, and Pitt’s rep told us they “have heard nothing about this.”

At least we can stem the flow of this bad rumor.
