Residents living near Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's French hideaway are getting their own back on the reporters who have descended upon them - by feeding them false stories about their new superstar neighbours.
Brangelina have sparked a media frenzy in the village of Correns, in Provence, since holing up in a nearby chateau ahead of the birth of their twins.
As one resident explains, "They came here to find some peace, and instead there are paparazzi at the gate day and night. It's really unbearable.
"There are always five or six motorbikes and cars ready to launch into a chase.”
Still, villagers are determined to have some fun with the situation - at the media's expense.
Residents who succeed in getting a particularly ridiculous story published are treated to a free glass of pastis, according to Reuters.
