LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) – Angelina Jolie’s engagement ring reportedly set Brad Pitt back a cool $500,000, and it could end up costing Perez Hilton the same.

Hilton’s report, published April 17 on his Coco Perez offshoot site, claimed that jeweler Robert Procop, who designed the ring with Pitt, had previously been successfully sued for fraud by a customer named Roy Allenstein.
