Michael Douglas Apologizes to "Brangelina"..

Douglas recently sat down with tabloid show Extra! to clear up what he says was a misquote by GQ Magazine. In the article Douglas was quoted as saying in response to the relationship to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

"I don't know about Brad Pitt, leaving that beautiful wife to go hold orphans for Angelina" ..."I mean how long is that going to last"


While being interviewed on Extra! Douglas said

"It was a lengthy article. (It) must have been 20 hours of tape recording, so I asked to hear the tape recording and the reporter said, Well, I turned the tape recorder off.'
I said, 'Well you had it on for the whole time, so I didn't say it.'"

Although he claims to have never said the line in question, he did still write the couple a letter of apology. He says

"I consider him a good friend and she does wonderful work for the United Nations, which is what I'm also involved in.
"There's just a lot of pressure on the print media and they get to kind of exploitative quotes to try to attract people for their circulation, so it was unfortunate."
