What’s this about Brad Pitt and Gerbils?

This is the most ridiculous celebrity gerbil rumor we’ve heard in a long time. According to the Sun, Brad Pitt plunked down nearly $83,000 to build a gerbil run for his kids – that is, for his kid’s gerbils, not for the kids themselves to run in.
The Sun reports the tricked out gerbil complex “features a maze of tunnels, seesaws and platforms which makes the rodents the most pampered vermin on the planet,” and, claims a source, Pitt had “fun putting the run together with his kids Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh and Pax.”
If you believe the Sun’s tail, er, tale, after August 20 when the gerbils were purchased, Pitt, an architecture enthusiast, “personally oversaw every step of the project at his family’s French estate.” Adds the article’s so-called source, “It’s incredibly complex and cost a lot but Brad’s more than happy with any activity that can combine his two passions – his kids and architecture.”
We reached out to a rep for the “Inglourious Basterds” star, and have yet to receive a response. We did, however, contact a couple of sources who knew nothing about this.
Gossip Cop says this story is full of pellets.
