As we reported earlier today, Angelina Jolie claims that she’s still not sure where she’ll give birth, but says she’ll probably lay low for a month or two after her twins, thought to be fraternal girls, arrive. She says she also wants to adopt again and that they may even start a foster home, although not necessarily on their own property.
The Jolie-Pitts can add another sprawling mansion to the homes in which they can choose to raise their children around the world. They have a home in New Orleans’ French Quarter, a mansion in Los Angeles, an expansive apartment in the former East Berlin, and can now count a 1,000 acre estate in the South of France among their real estate holdings. Given that they’ve been staying at the estate of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen in France, it’s not a far stretch to assume that they’re planning to remain in that area after their newest babies arrive. Their new digs sound just as amazing as you would expect for a multi-home estate and land that costs $60 million, and includes a moat, lake, vineyard, 20 fountains, indoor pool, 2 gyms, and plenty of surrounding forest to discourage the rabid paparazzi:
Expectant parents Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have plunked down a cool $60 million on a sprawling 1,000-acre estate in the south of France. With 35 bedrooms, plus a vineyard, lake, forest and moat, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and the soon-to-be-born twins are going to be playing house in high style.
“It’s called Chateau Miraval in a village called Brignol, which is near from Aix-en-Provence,” a source tells E! News. “And it’s absolutely unbelievable.
“Brad and Angelina are thrilled, they love the place and have already been furniture shopping to fill the place as it’s massive,” the insider added. “They’ve already spent almost another million on furniture and the whole family can’t wait to move in.”
The pre-Roman estate also boasts a swimming pool, billiards room, indoor pool, his-and-hers gyms, sauna and jacuzzi and a huge banquet hall.
Magnificent cascading stone-walled terraces have been replanted with 13 different varieties of olives, and water is everywhere on the sprawling estate—20 fountains, aqueducts and a stream that runs through hidden tunnels, passes through the moat and fills the lake.
Except for the ponies and goats grazing in the nearby fields, “the house is surrounded by a forest so they’ll have total privacy, which is exactly what they’re after,” the source tells E!
[From E! Online]
From the looks of the aerial photos, there are four separate houses and stables on the land. It has an expansive front yard and it should be pretty simple for them to station security around the perimeter at all times. Maybe this will result in the privacy the Jolie-Pitts probably crave. And they’ll have plenty of room to start that foster home.
Thanks to Splash News for the photo of Brad and Angelina’s new estate and WENN for the picture from the Kung Fu Panda premiere on 5/15/08.
I hope this story is true, maybe I won’t have to see pics of them and their brood as much!
They promised to move to New Orleans.
Why are they spending all that money on one of the most affluent places in the world?
Does the South of France need help with their over-priced palaces?
Why aren’t they settling in New Orleans as they promised they would?
They make statements and after they receive the positive attention they simply renege on whatever they claimed they would be doing.
Same goes for her promise after adopting and renaming that 3.5 boy “Pax”.
She got criticized for renaming him, and forcing him to pose for People Mag. at a hotel, right after he was adopted, while he didn’t even understood one word in English.
So she promised she would be a stay at home mom for a year and helped him adjust for his new life, and help his 2 sisters and brother overcome all the drastic changes she has brought on them in such a short period of time.
Guess what she did? Instead of staying at home- she went on to make 3 movies and dragged them from one hotel room to another for her career.
the jolie-pitts crave privacy????
who could tell?
#3 you are really having a meltdown at this story aren’t you? Calm down, chances are it is not true. This is about the fifth property that they have bought in France in the last year and each time they end up staying at Paul Allen’s mansion.
Celebitchy, the Berlin apartment was a lie just like the rumor of them buying a $200m yacht. Like Angelina said last year, every city they visit Brad is supposed to have bought a home just like she is supposed to adopt all the time.
Until I became a fan of these two, I did not know that it was that possible to fabricate so much lies with the help of bloggers like #3 who literally troll the internet trying to disseminate false information about this two, the funny thing is that the media have helped create this larger than life couple, love them or loathe them, you cannot ignore them, as a fan, I am enjoying seeing the haters twist and fume at the mouth.
people, the two can move wherever they want, they don´t owe YOU anything. i do hope they´ll find a place where they can actually relax and live a normal family life without all those lenses and crazy paps.
Angelina is great in PR moves.
She knows what it taked to divert negative publicity.
They made a smart strategic decision that saves their career after so many fiascos.
True environmentalists don’t fly all the time “just for fun”.
Real humanitarians lead a modest life-style and donate money, even when the camera is not rolling.
Brignol doesn’t exist here… The only town near to Aix-en-PRovence they could be speaking of is Brignoles. But hey, who cares about spelling?
Although it is one expensive spot, I don’t see why anyone would want to buy an estate in the Var department of the South of France.
I’m much more happy being near the seaside here… Plus, it’s anything but environment friendly to live there (use of gas to get there, extreme drought during the summer months, rather cold winters).
Hypocrits and Michael are the same person, also going by “To Anni” and “MM” on another thread. Do not post under multiple nicknames or you will be banned.
That house/mansion is absolutely beautiful and should not be owned by just one person. Is it just me or does everyone feel depressed at the thought that this mediocre uneducated celebrities have so much undeserved money (yes, undeserved because not even doctors and scientist get millions like these celebrities do by just doing couple of crap movies) yet people who have good University degrees tend to work 9 to 5 jobs, if they are lucky, with a slightly above average paycheck. I do not often care what the rich and famous do with their wealth but this people are just rubbing in our faces to the point of being completely annoying and irritating. And do not bother telling me about how much they give to THEIR ‘charity’ because if I had their money too I (and most people) would honestly give more then them and I would not bother to ask for so much praise like they do.
I do like Angelina Jolie but the whole Bradagelina brand is just too overexposed and overrated.
Interesting, they give 8 million to charity and buy a house of 60 million. They will be broke before they know it. I am not sure how doing charity goes along with this largese.
Angelina always lies, she promised to take time off after pax, move to NO, said she did not know how to use a computer then said she reads news on the internet. Said she did not plan Shiloh, then said her friends told her she would try for long. She just lies all the time. I stopped believing what she says. They fly private jets and for fun yet they say they are trying to save the world.
And those kids, all that traveling can’t be healthy. 🙄
Lola, she also lied about saying she would never have a biological child and only adopt.
I guess that in order to make sure Brad would leave his wife, she needed to do something drastic and get pregnant.
I care less about those things, although they show (lack of) character.
A french newspaper (Var Matin) say they’ve actually rented the estate for 3 years.
I feel like every week there’s a new tale about a house they’ve bought. I’ve seen pictures of at least 3 houses that they’ve reportedly bought in the last month.
I think this story originated in the uk tabloid the dailymail and then was picked up by E!
Why can’t E! and other news outlets just wait until they can actually confirm that they’ve bought a house and then report it.
This need to report every single thing they do whether true or otherwise is what’s causing the over-exposure. I like them somewhat but they can’t even go to say toys r us and shop for their child’s birthday without it becoming a breaking news story. 🙄
I actually don´t care…
35 bedrooms? excessive much?
“Real humanitarians lead a modest life-style and donate money, even when the camera is not rolling.” so there not supposed to enjoy what they’ve worked hard for? just give it all away?
They have bought a home in New Orleans. It’s just that they don’t spend all their time there. They also have homes in a couple of other places. Don’t you know how the rich live? They don’t stay in one place ALL the time.
They are paying for privacy and who can blame them? It’s their money and they can do what they want with it. Angelinia gives one third of her income to charity and I doubt few other celebrities do that. I doubt the aerial photographers can keep that up on a steady basis flying over the place hoping to get photos of them. I hope they get the privacy they crave.
As I have said in other posts, for every dollar they DONATE, they get a huge write off on their income taxes. It is not philanthopy that fuels these two, it is business. Brad owns several hundred acres in Southwest Missouri, they have homes in L.A, Malibu and New Orleans, how much more do these people need, and how much more attention are we going to give them? They are not these lily white angels who do things out of the kindness of their hearts. They are wealthy actors who do what they do so over half their income doesn’t go to taxes. I cannot believe that that stupid bitch is having twins and already thinking about adopting more children. There are people known as animal hoarders, who keep adopting and rescuing animals because it is a sickness. Angelina is like a child hoarder, adopting child after child. I guess if I had nannies up the ass, I would adopt children to make me look good, knowing that I didn’t have to do all of the work required in raising them. If the 6omil chateau rumor is true or not, these two still make me sick with their insincere bullshit. They want the attention, they need it for their egos and their bank accounts! ❗
People who want privacy, don’t invite photogs to a hotel room and have their new adopted son pose for the camera and don’t sell the child privacy for money.
$60 million! I’m surprised they can afford to spend so much on just one house, considering their lavish lifestyle with all the nannies and bodyguards and private jets, multiple homes, etc.
The upkeep alone must be stratospheric. Maybe they’ll sell their wine to help pay for the place?
Private people do not sell their baby pictures to people. Halle, Johnny Depp, Matt Damon – they are private.
WoWWWWWW , posters here are drepressing and to change and evolve in life it´s been called lie , you are losers.
Stop the tale of the victim wife abandoned ok , they were totally unhappy and they split in january , Angelina got pregnant in september.
And i personally hope they were together even before because unhappiness was written all over this man´s face.
If you want a pr whore you should call Aniston and Mayer , or the model, or the cameraman , she looks for someone as desperate as her for publicity and if you take note is always while brangelina has some news or high profile events , premieres to do , PATHETIC. 31/2 years later and she ´s still in the same place VICTIM .
Guest :They are not private , nobody cares, they don´t sell.
Alexis am sure if people like Johnny Depp and Goerge Clooney made a spectacle of their lives and invited photogs even if they so much as blew a kiss to an orphan, then adopted a multitude of kids they would get all the attention.
I am also curious to see how they can maintain such luxurious life styles. Brad is about 100m, Angelina about 25, with all that they are buying, all the travel and all the kids. They are going to be as broke as Michael Jackson. Remember their movies are not exactly doing well and Brad is past his glorious acting days. Angelina is fast approaching the end of her days too. Let’s not forget that working with six kids who are mostly toddlers is in itsself a joke. I get they will realise this when the kids actually arrive.
She just switched heroin for babies.
Celebitchy, thanks for outing these trolls. That is what they do from blog to blog, changing names and agreeing with themselves so that it looks as if more people hate Brad and Angelina. That same hypocrit have been on JustJared since last night having a massive meltdown, but like you, jared occasionally outs them.
I can’t imagine how devious and demented these morons are, you will think Brad Pitt dumbed them or could it be that they are mad that Brad and Angelina has gone from strength to strength, against all odds.
I almost hope that it is true that they bought this vineyard, just to see more meltdowns from the likes of Lola.
I adore,adore Angelina Jolie, and seeing how much happiness she is radiating is proof positive that the relationship is about to be over.
Bubulle, that’s good to know because if they spend money like that yet, love to ask for people to give money to their causes (UN, Nola greenhouses). They need their heads examined.
If these people wanted privacy they would have it. They’re attention whores and bringing a bunch of children into their dysfunction.
Celebrities that want to stay out of the spotlight can do it successfully if that’s what they choose – Robert Redford and Jodie Foster are examples.
I will bet you all the tea in China that their marriage will not end well.
I find it amazing how people think that Brad and Angie have overcome such obstacles in their pursuit of happiness! What tragedies have these media whores ever had to overcome in order to find happiness? They both have done whatever they have wanted to in their lives.They were never people who had to struggle for anything. She, coming from a family of cinematic priviledge and he from an upper class mid-western background. Have they battled illness (other than mental), tough financial times? Her mother died, well cry me a river, so do many other people’s parents die tragically. Have they been struck by a child that is terminally ill? Have they lost someone close in the war? NO! They haven’t overcome shit, so those who keep saying that they have battled this and that are nuts. They are spoiled, Hollywood A-listers that have done nothing special for anyone that didn’t in turn help them in return. Look at the world out there, and the real people in it who have lost children and familiy to illness and war. Look at people who work each and every day in jobs that barely allow them to pay their bills each month. These people are not to be admired (brad and angie), people who work hard each and every day and raise their children themselves while coping with life’s real stresses and tragedies should be admired and praised. Not some fake ass actors parading around the world’s priciest playgrounds bragging about all that they have done and all that they are!
any thing as long as they go away and we don’t have to see their face ever again, media whores seeking publicity every day one way or another.
Come on people! They live a life of privilege, they earn a lot of money, and they spend it on themselves as well as other philanthropic efforts. Why so angry? The pictures they took of their kids and sold were to get aggressive paparazzi to leave them alone.And don’t forget they donated all of the proceeds to charity. If I had that sort of money, I would do the exact same thing. Give a lot away, spend a lot to make myself and my family comfortable. We only have one life, why not live it exactly the way we want while being aware of the benefit and good it can do for others? Are we forgetting Brad’s efforts in NO? Are we forgetting Angie’s efforts for the UN and her travels to war torn countries to help victims? I think these people have done a fine job. Nobody got up in arms when Johnny Depp bought his own Caribbean island as well as his own chateau in the south of France. And I certainly don’t hear about how he’s helping out like Brad and Angelina. Get over yourselves and let them be. Pay your rent on your shit hole apartment that you can barely afford and take some acting classes. Perhaps you too can someday hope to do half the good and live as well as these people do. 8)
Devilgirl, well said. I agree with you. I actually do not care what they buy or how much they spend, it is just the way they flaunt it and the way they put themselves in the media that is so annoying and that is where people find the problem with them. If they actually stay quite and truly seek privacy then people would respect them more and take them more seriously.
There are many better and more famous actors/celebrities that manage very well to keep there private life private and things are written about them in the media still but those celebs ignore it and do not fuel the fire and sooner or later the media moves on but with other attention seeking celebrities like Bradangelina, although the claim to want privacy, it is mostly their fault that they can not get it because they continue to fuel the media with cleverly revealing interviews, photo shoots ect and just making a big show out of everything.
Wow, there’s a lot of jealousy in here. If I was as well-off as they are I’d be dong the exact same thing and damn anyone who says otherwise. They don’t need your approval or permission for anything they do and I’m sure that aches for a lot of you. Where’s all this outrage when the paps used a ten mile photo lens to take pix of Angelina on her own property pregnant in her bikini and the tabs ran the story saying she was flaunting it? There’s not one tabloid in print that has ever approved of Angelina’s lifestyle- as if it’s their job to judge, but have no objections to such vulgar invasions of privacy when it suits their needs.
If you want them to go away, stop clicking on posts about them. I see an Anniston thread here, I will never click on it let alone comment on it because I am indifferent about her and couldn’t care less what she does with her boring existence, that is the difference.
You lot on the other hand are so angry at Brad and and Angelina, that means they are able to elicit emotions out of you. As for them flaunting their wealth, excuse me! This is a couple that their children wear hand me downs, Angelina is hardly a fashionista, you only see them out and about when they are promoting their movies or their humanitarian causes, ask your self why their success hurts you so much and why Jennifer’s career is in the toilet, that wasn’t how it was supposed to play out.
Angelina, that witch was supposed to be miserable, her career ended and Hollywood shunning her, what most of you forgot is that the pity party was based on fraud and you bought into it.
I am laughing at all of you still wishing that they will go away, you will be inundated with pictures and articles about them. In case you missed Cannes, Angelina is getting critical buzz for her movie and the word is that Brad’s Benjamin Button is a masterpiece directed by David Fincher, all coming out in the fall. The twins will be the news for the summer, what is a hater to do when the awards season come, especially the haters that run from blog to blog to spew lies and hate, well maybe like their idol just scream at the ocean. Like I said earlier, success and happiness is the best revenge. You can scream all you want, it must be frustrating that they get bigger and bigger in spite of you. Maybe the gods are blessing them more just spite you and your hatefulness. Hahahahahahahaha…… it warms the heart to see that karma is a b itch.
I just think it’s interesting that people use such loaded terms regarding the Pitt-Jolie’s, phrases such as, “she promised”, or “they lied!” – as if to denote some kind of purposeful and malicious misdirection made specifically against the commenter.
Seriously?
They’re human. They make mistakes, they change their minds, and they live their lives – just like the rest of us. (Granted, with a lot more money, and a lot more scrutiny.) They don’t owe anything to anyone if they decide to relocate or procreate or anything. The only people they are accountable to are their children, and until the Maddox’s first tell-all book, I’m going to assume they are just as loving and doting to the chit-lins, as they are to each other.
Indie, WOW 😯 . Calm down, no need to get too personal, no one is. When we criticize celebrities, we criticize their celebrity image not the actual person because unless we know them privately then no one (including their fans) can comment on what type of people they really are. This is the fun about this gossip blogs because people came together a have a light hearted and fun gossip with each other, so there is no need for YOU to be so hateful and mean.
Also, I very much doubt that their kids wear hand me downs.
No you calm down “Enonymouse”. How do you criticize a person based on an image and it is not personal. How are Brad and Angelina seeking attention when 8 out of ten stories written about them are later to be lies, or paparazzi take pictures of them in the privacy of their home because people like you and me are interested in them and not on other celebrities.
When you go to photo agency websites, there are tons of pictures of a lot of celebrities that the blogs and magazines don’t buy because you and I are not interested in them and as such no demand. It is rather hypocritical of you to say you want them to go away and yet, you will not ignore them like most people I know ignore Anniston because I am indifferent.
If you were a fan or you paid attention to only lies about them, then you will notice that her children wear hand me downs from Zahara to Shilo, or from Maddox to Pax, and there are tons of photographic evidence so it doesn’t matter if you believe it or not, you are not inclined to believe anything good about them.
Gossip may be fun for you but celebrities are human beings too and have families, having money does not protect any of us from hurt and pain, gossip when malicious and unfounded should not be fun. Speculation could be fun, but when some morons become vitriolic in the attacks, it is sickening. You do not have to like a celebrity, but being jealous of their success and angry at their wealth or how they spend it is a waste of energy, find a way to make your own millions and spend it however you want. If you get off on bashing celebrities, does it make you feel better about yourself? It surely hasn’t derailed their success, if anything they seemed to have been blessed. Sometimes, what you wish on people is what comes to you, could it be why a certain someone is languishing on b-movies while her ex husband’s main squeeze is enjoying more critical acclaim and professional success than at any other time in her career? Could it be why every journalist that has talked to her in the last two weeks say she is glowing and radiating happiness? It must suck that as much ill will as some of you wish them as a couple they are being abundantly blessed, I, for one as a fan , am tickled pink and I am having fun at your expense, believe me, I am calm, you just might want to take your own advice and lay off.
Devilgirl, seems you are the only one with a brain in the house! You go girl!
Indie: James Haven is that you? Seems your anal plug has lodged in your mouth! Do us a favour, and Stfu!
With all the money the have, couldn’t at least they buy a box of wipes to clean the shine off their faces?
They could use some of Shiloh’s wipes.
Or even better…they could shower.
Well, I’m no fan of them, but the truth is they can buy whatever they want, is their money. Easy earned but still, their money.
But, with all that money, they are 2 very lonely people. They don’t have true friends.
I know many will jump out at me to tell me that they have each other and their kids. But I assure you, as a parent and as a spouse, there is more to life than hanging together all the time.
I feel sorry for those two.
They are 2 very lonely souls.
Good Riddance to the entire fam
Indie, You really need to be quite because you sound really insecure and rude. Again, no need to get too personal, no one is and if you do not like some of the comments then ignore them and do not read them.
This is a nice web sites that most of the time people tend to give fair comments (wether positive or negative) to all celebrities in general. That is what makes these gossip sites fun because you get to read peoples different opinions.
I for one like Angelina Jolie a lot but do I like to constantly hear about Bradanglelina’s every second of their life, NO and do I like the fact that every week in most cleb magazines they constantly put their faces on the cover and do I (and most people) think that because of that they are so overexposed and overrated, YES. This is nothing against Bradangelina specifically but in general about all this celebrities that they too are too overexposed and seem to be taking over the media.
If feeling sorry for them makes you deal better with your life, then good for you though it is misplaced.
Enonymouse- how can you blame them for the tabloids or the blogs constantly talking about them. I hate that the tabloid media will not leave them alone and blaming them for the tabloids always writing about them is silly. This blog and every other blog makes money when they post about them and until that stops, the media will not stop writing about them, so you might as well blame you and I for that.
Ayatolla- if I am James Haven then you must be Jennifer Anniston hence the bitterness, chin up, it is not that bad.
I always think it is James Haven going around the internet attacking any one who dares say something not glowing about these saintly couple.
He has nothing to do anyway. Angelin ais starting to look like him.
Nobody in their right mind would actually want to move back to where Katrina hit. Rebuild? Rebuild what? Just take a little time and learn some geology and history and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the disaster area will be back under water again, that area is NOT meant to be built period people. That’s a scientific fact! I gave my money and sympathy the first time around, and I sure as hell won’t be give out anymore of those for the idiots who want to rebuild in that area – if you can pushed into a storm the first time, well, you were just unlucky, if you choose to walk into a storm the second time, well, shame on you, and natural selection will have to do its magic!
i love these comments.
you know, every time INDIE has something to say, she always mentions J Anniston, even if no one says anything about her or anything.just an observation.
just overly extravagant… of course because they have money to buy mansions & furnitures worth millions. and we have millions of starving babies & families, sick & dying individuals, orphans & homeless people all over the world who could be wishing & praying & hoping that somehow the jolie-pitts could have better showered them just a bit of their fortunes to ease them out of their hunger, cure them off their sickness & give them a warm blanket at night as they sleep on the streets…
and yes… these people see brad & angie in the news, am sure.
Oh right, so Brad & Ang are responsible for all the lost, sick, starving people in the universe. 🙄
I love these sanctimonious tirades against a couple who, from what I can see, understand the position their celebrity power gives them only too well, and use it effectively where and when they can. That it also generates intense publicity is hardly solely their fault.
And I don’t even care much for either of them!
I’m no longer positive the place you’re getting your information, but good topic. I needs to spend some time studying more or working out more. Thanks for excellent information I used to be searching for this info for my mission.
