French Village Tricks Paparazzi To Protect Brad And Angelina

Reuters:

The new game in Correns, a village in Provence suddenly hit by media frenzy since Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie moved into a nearby villa, is to make up stories about the couple for the paparazzi.

You will be treated to a free glass of pastis if you can get a particularly silly story published, mischievous residents said, declining to be named.

Pitt and Jolie, who is pregnant with twins, are staying at the sprawling Miraval domain, near Correns, where they enjoy 400 hectares (almost 1,000 acres) of woods and vineyards, a gorgeous 17th century villa, a swimming pool and helicopter pad.

Gawd, I hate the paparazzi.

It's b/c of the press that these folks can't keep out of the news. ANd of course when they tip them off when they want it as well.

Gotta hand it to the village. Good for them.

Maybe they can trick the papaRATzi into driving off cliffs and injuring themselves to the point of never coming back.

The biggest power couple in Hollywood just showing their strength . . . What can you do??? They probably just sit in the house all day with all 44 of their collective kids watching the shows on DIgitalfuntown.com. I heard Brad really likes The Nuttcups.

Hi everyone,

This comment is completely off topic but I wanted to share with the Huffington Post editors and readers a discovery of an awesome website:

http://www.freeworldu.org/static/index.aspx

It is run by a non-profit group that is trying to provide free education to anyone in the world by using electronic flashcards.

Please look at the website, review it and spread the word. It has such great potential and I know that the Huffington Post can give it the attention it deserves. Thank you!

What is interesting, is that on Google Earth, you cannot get too close (Miraval Correns, France) to their compound; now that's a power couple.

I saw it perfectly fine on Google Earth a few weeks ago. If you go back and check, you'll see that a pretty big chunk of southern France is blurry right now, not just 'their compound'.
