The average income in New Orleans scooted a bit higher this month when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie dropped $3.5 million on a French Quarter mansion.
The Hollywood couple, who occupy the upper strata of celebrity, bought a three-story, 7,400-square-foot home in the lower French Quarter this month and have enrolled their oldest child at a local school. The house they selected -- their fourth, according to a tabloid that posted the story on its Web site this week -- is a gray-green, balconied affair near the riverfront, complete with a two-car garage, a detached guest house and a rear courtyard cloistered from view of even the surrounding houses.
Apparently intent on staying awhile, they have also been mingling with the hoi polloi at bars and restaurants near their house.

HEEEEEYYYYYYY - that ain't chocolate!
Gotta run; going to buy a Saints shirt for my daughter. GO SAINTS!
Go Bears! Sorrr, I think the Bears are going to pull this one out.
Public school????
I give this display of compassionate liberalism a couple of months. One bad storm, one murder too close to the cozy "little house on the bayou" - one typical Loosiana summer- and the Brangelina entourage is off to Namibia/France/LA/England/Cambodia.
BTW, 3.5 million on a house, to these folks- is play money.
I'm looking for a photo of the home. Has anyone seen it online yet? Yes, this is house #4 for the Jolie-Pitts.
Ain't life grand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course not!!! They're in a private school right around the corner from my house. One of my friends has kids there. They asked all the parents to sign release forms agreeing not to take pictures of their children. They don't have to worry about the photo frenzy over the kids; they need to worry about all the moms in the carpool line, waiting with their cell phone cameras for Brad Pitt to come pick up his kids.
Not one bit of Saints paraphernalia to be found. Had to buy a white t-shirt, black and gold sharpies, and black and gold mardi gras beads.
I would have made Pitt and Jolie sign a release saying they would keep the papparazzi away from the school.
