Perhaps Brad Pitt should go to Dubai if he wants to go unrecognized: A Jordanian salesman tried to get more than $23,000 from a money exchanger in Dubai by using a fake ID with Pitt's picture on it, then claimed he didn't know whose face was on the ID.
A report in the Gulf News today says that the salesman/con man was given a tip that the money had been sitting unclaimed at the Dubai money exchange, and that he tried to pick it up using a fake ID belonging to a client who just happened to look exactly like Brad Pitt. After his arrest, the Jordanian actually told police that he didn't know who Pitt was when he downloaded the pictures from the Internet.
Meanwhile, Rush & Molloy report that the pictures that were stolen on a digital memory card as reported by TMZ on Sunday, containing pictures of the Jolie-Pitt's baby shower in Namibia, are back in safe hands after the perpetrator was arrested. Pitt's rep Cindy Guagenti didn't give any further details about the arrest, and nothing was forthcoming from the LA, Beverly Hills, or Malibu Police Departments. The law firm of Lavely and Singer sent an email to various outlets, including TMZ, threatening legal action against anyone publishing the photos.
