Brad and Angelina invasion

[NeenAtlanta]

From the Comcast news page:

New Orleans is Latest Jolie-Pitt Stop
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have adopted a new hometown.

In a rare joint red carpet appearance at the Golden Globe Awards on Monday, the twosome confirmed to Us Weekly that they had relocated to New Orleans.

"We love it there,” Jolie told the magazine. “The kids are going to go to school there. We're really looking forward to it.”

Pitt previously said in September that the family would be spending time in the Big Easy while he was on location filming The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Now, the globetrotting duo has apparently decided to settle down in the bayou on a more permanent basis.

According to Us Weekly, Pitt and Jolie have purchased a $3.5 million six-bedroom home in the French Quarter, with plenty of space for five-year-old Maddox, two-year-old Zahara and seven-month-old Shiloh, not to mention any future additions to the family.

The couple was said to be hopeful that their move would help draw attention to the Gulf Coast's continued struggle to recover from the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina.

Pitt has already teamed up with nonprofit organization Global Green USA to jointly commission 20 eco-friendly homes in low-income neighborhoods that were hardest hit by the storm. Construction on the buildings is expected to begin this month.

Meanwhile, Jolie is reportedly optimistic that distancing herself from Hollywood will enable her to be less of a movie star and more of a soccer mom.

"She's interested in befriending normal moms so she can do things with the kids," an unnamed source told Us Weekly.

Though Pitt and Jolie have said they have no plans to marry anytime in the near future, they have both publicly expressed their desire to expand their brood, with Jolie stating they would be more likely to adopt the next time around.

"Yes, we have Shiloh and it's been a wonderful experience, but we want to find another brother or sister in the world for our family," Jolie told Diane Sawyer in an interview last month.

At the Golden Globes on Monday, Pitt joked with E! News' Ryan Seacrest about the couple's family-planning strategy.

"We're thinking soccer team. World cup. We are going to start our own country and enter the world cup—and dominate," Pitt said.

Good for them. New Orleans needs as many high profile friends (and residents) as it can get.

[ibjamn]

The new digs (7500 sq feet) are at 521 Gov. Nicholls.

[jonnygospeltent]

Oh %$#@ . I won't be the handsomeist guy in town anymore.

[pokerchick66]

The new digs (7500 sq feet) are at 521 Gov. Nicholls.

[Michelino]

Oh, good. Now I can stop by and say hello.

And tell them that we need their votes for the Spider Sammitch immediately. The kid's too.

[Amy Winette]

Oh hell no, they must vote for crawfish monica!

This is dangerous, me knowing Brad Pitt's address . . . We might have to drive by, just to see what the house looks like, you know . . .

Anyone gets me a private visit with Brad and I'll give up campaigning for crawfish monica (there are some things that are better than food) :)

[pokerchick66]

And tell them that we need their votes for the Spider Sammitch immediately. The kid's too.

Hey Michelino, keep Angelina busy while Amy and I go do some campaigning, k?

[Amy Winette]

Just make the fudge temp warm, not hot!!!

;)

[Corona]

roflmao!!!

[Jaypee]

The condo that I rent during Jazz Fest, and other times during the year if I visit, is next to the Richelieu, at Chartres and Gov. Nicholls. So I guess that means I can say I'm one of Brangelina's neighbors, at least a few days per year.

I think it's great that they're bringing some attention to the city. And how they're really gonna live like authentic New Orleaneans, in their 7000 square foot $3M abode...

I don't envision either one of them elbowing their way into Verdi Mart for a late night to-go plate, but while I am not at all enamored of show-biz types, I admit that I will prolly be on the lookout for a B/A sighting.

[NeenAtlanta]

I think we should give them two Patry tix as a housewarming present. Angeline said she wanted to interact with normal people like a normal Mom. Who knows, they might just show up!

[NeenAtlanta]

((She is just so not my type in that scenario))

So who is? ;)

LOL - I was just telling Joe that they could toss me into a room with Salma Hyak, Penelope Cruz and Sonia Braga, and I'd never come out. I guess I go for those dark, spanish beauties!

[pokerchick66]

LMAO, too funny! See, I'm the opposite; I'm thinking Gwen Stefani. ;)

[Amy Winette]

I'm with you on that one Neen, you can keep the blondes like Gwen Poker :)

Anyone have an email? Would love to invite them to the patry, haha! Really, they would love it. If I could hold myself back from following them around and licking them, that is . . .

[Corona]

bwahahahaha Ames, you are a FREAK! lol

Brunettes for me too...Angelina #1, then Penelope Cruz, Eva Menendez...

[Corona]

you know.....there is NO f'in way you would ever hear straight guys having this conversation...I love the freedom of being a woman :)

[Amy Winette]

True dat! Angelina first and Penelope second for me too. You know, or at the same time ;) I'll share with you Corona and Neen :)

[rosetree]

you know.....there is NO f'in way you would ever hear straight guys having this conversation...I love the freedom of being a woman :)

YYR Lis, Brad doesn't do a thing for me....although I will bring Angelina some hot fudge for y'all!!!;) :D


I'll let you know when I send Brangilina the invite over to the Studio to pick out some authentic Nawlins art for their new digs ;)

[VWGal]

Rosetree, for what it's worth, Angelina is a fairly big art collector, especially when associated with a cause. When Brad was in Alberta shooting Jesse James last fall (it's not yet released), Angelina stopped by the local theatre community watering hole, the Auburn Saloon, on a Saturday afternoon when there was a benefit art show and sale. If memory serves me, it was art created by African children and brought back to Calgary by someone who had been there working with AIDS afflicted families. She arrived without any entourage, spent about $2,000 on several pieces, none of which were expensive. Chatted with everyone there and stayed an hour or so. People were very impressed by how easy they found it to talk with her. Interesting, isn't it...there might be something in your idea for sure...

Aw...those poor kids. I guess there weren't any FEMA trailers left for them!:D

[Amy Winette]

Somebody needs to tell Brangelina about our patry and raffle for NOMC!!

[pokerchick66]

I'm with you on that one Neen, you can keep the blondes like Gwen Poker :)

ROFLMAO, AMY!! I bet you'd get a buzz from licking them, too.

[sophisticated sissy]

Maybe we could just hire a FQ Angelina impersonator for the Patry...you know, stimulate the local economy? :D

[BigDag]

I went by their house Saturday night; or at least, I went to the big green gate that blocks access to the house from the street. There was a security device that was the size of an ATM. I pressed a button that I assumed was the doorbell, but got no response. You'd think somebody could at least say hi. I could have been the pool boy. Maybe there was nobody home.

Anyway, I talked to several bartenders who said Brad has been all over the neighborhood making friends. Angelina has been getting a lot of take out from Angeli.

That's about all I know.

Maybe one of our NOLA threadheads could drop an invitation off at their doorstep.

We'll make it a patry!

Excellent stalking Big Dag! :)

[pokerchick66]

I had THE BEST dream about Brad last night. No, not THAT kind of dream, lol. We were just pals and hanging out and went to the races and to a restaurant and watched Jeopardy back at the house. Very affectionate. We had the best time. He even adopted Chicklet and moved us into the house so their kids would have somebody to play with. I met Angelina but she wasn't around much (ha ha). Also, when we were at the restaurant and waiting for our order, our own MzJoey was working there and she came up to me and filled my empty ashtray with supplementals. :D Brad was very happy about that! It was such a great dream I hated to wake up. Slept till 12 today, lol.

[rosetree]

LOL...PC you are such a goofball :p What will Harry Jr. think????;) :D

That's very interesting, Mon! :) Ever since he hooked up with AJ, he's been lookin' sorta pussywhipped ever since, IMHO. Especially with his hair all shorn off & everything. Kinda hard to look like a sex god w/ an infant Snugli-ed to your torso, I guess!

[Corona]

Good intel, Bigdag. Keep up the good work. ;)
I just KNOW they'll be at the fest....we better synchronize our phones for text messaging lol!

[mightyradgumbo]

I classify Angelina under, as Seinfield sez, two faced. Sometimes she looks wicked hot and other times it is like ohhhhh, who let the bat-faced girl in to the joint- just, IMHO

[Amy Winette]

What side are you talking about? I've never seen the bat side for sure!! :)

[Corona]

lol, me either....some of the guys I know think she looked like hell in Gone in 60 seconds but I thought her blonde dreads were cool :) Is that what you're talkin' about Dan?

According to rumor, their spokesman (aka, publicist) is Trevor Neilson, who does a lot of publicity work for various corps and folks including, I think, Bill and Melinda Gates. Worked on the Aids in Asia project in '04.
