According to an insider neither of the Tinseltown heart-throbs - who became close chums after lensing Ocean's Eleven together (above) - will have to invest any money in the scheme. They will, however, be taking a cut of the profits

After cementing their onscreen relationship with Ocean's Eleven and Twelve, Hollywood hunks Brad Pitt and George Clooney are apparently set to take their collaboration to a new level.

The Tinseltown heart-throbs are reportedly joining forces to build a new hotel and casino in Las Vegas, in a deal with Cindy Crawford's husband, nightclub empresario Rande Gerber.

According to an insider, neither screen icon is investing in the venture, although both will be due a hefty slice of the profits once everything's up and running.

"Brad will design the hotel and be the face of it with George," an insider told the New York Post. "After Ocean's Eleven this makes perfect sense, and the three of them are very good friends."

The hospitality project has apparently been in the pipeline for a while, with Brad first embarking upon talks with Rande two years ago. George came on board more recently. A formal announcement on the deal is due in November with work getting underway in January 2006.
