BRAD PITT - PITT LINKED TO CLOONEY MODEL PAL

Hollywood hunk BRAD PITT has been linked to American MAXIM model APRIL FLORIO, only a month after announcing his split from wife JENNIFER ANISTON.

Pitt and Aniston called time on their four and a half year marriage on 7 January (05), but continue to live together in their Beverly Hills, California mansion.

Pitt was photographed with 22-year-old Florio in a Santa Monica ice cream store earlier this week (begs07FEB05). British newspaper DAILY EXPRESS reports Florio and Pitt were introduced by the actor's OCEAN'S TWELVE co-star GEORGE CLOONEY in Europe last summer (04).

Florio's agent MIKE ESTERMAN says, "I just spoke to her and she was with him in Greece and California."

Florio is Miss December in this year's (05) Maxim calendar and has filmed a small role in upcoming PARIS HILTON film PLEDGE THIS!.
