Exclusive: Inside Brangelina's Malibu Pad

From Harvey Levin's H-Wood blog

I'm told that Brad and Angelina are partially dealing with their privacy concerns at their Malibu estate with one huge drape.

They have installed a massive drape on the outside of the house that wraps around all four bedrooms. They did not, however, have drapes installed in the living room and other common areas, leaving those portions of the house exposed to paparazzi.

My sources say the property has been heavily re-landscaped with new bushy plants so no one can see in from adjoining homes and hillsides.

The nagging problem is the Pacific Ocean. Paparazzi still have a clear shot if they brave the water in kayaks and small boats.

Finally, Brad is uncharacteristically happy with the work done on the home. Typically, when he's away during construction, he will make significant changes upon his return. No so this time. It seems the priority is the baby.

16. If they just didn't care and let photograhers photo away, it would die down in a matter of days, but, obviously, they want to attract cameras. Nice going on attracking publicity, USE YOUR CHILDREN WELL!

17. MAYBE IF THE PHOTOGRAPHERS OFFERED TO PAY THEM EVERYTIME THEY TOOK A PICTURE OF THE NEW BABY, THEY COULD TAKE DOWN THE CURTAIN AND GO ON WITH THEIR LIVES.

18. Why can't America just leave these people alone. They are not the only people in the world that have had a child. So back off and let them enjoy their new arrival....

19. WELL FIRST OF ALL TO JOLIE FAN, YOU DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO CRITISIZE JEN BECAUSE NOONE WAS SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT HER. I THINK BRAD WAS AN ASS FOR DOING WHAT HE DID TO JEN, BUT HEY THEY ALL MOVED ON AND SO SHOULD WE. I FEEL BAD FOR THEM BECAUSE I WOULDN'T LIKE TO BE HUNTED AT MY OWN HOUSE BUT THAT IS PART OF A STARS LIFE AND THEY HAVE TO GET USED TO IT. NOW, HEIDI, I DON'T CARE WHO'S FAN YOU ARE, YOU ARE JUST FUDGING MEAN. I DON'T LOVE BRAD AND ANGIE BUT I DON'T DON'T HAVE NOTHING AGAINST THEM EITHER BUT I WOULD NEVER WISH DEATH TO ANYONE NOT EVEN MY WORST ENEMY, ESPECIALLY WITH THREE BABYS.

20. This is so so sad, and it should be illegal. Stars public lives are open to the paparazi, that is the price of being famous, but that is PUBLIC life... ie: shopping, clubs,etc.... This is a persons home, their family, their privacy. Just because someone can and is willing to float in the ocean, rent a helicopter, or climb a tree to watch and photograph someone else, doesnt mean its morally acceptable. The sad thing is we are all voicing our opinions on this obscure, unimportant site instead of saying it to someone who can change it... shame on us.

21. I'm feel bad for Angie and Brad's children... I hope the paparazzi would stop hunting them for pictures! Media is freaking mad. People following this family 24 hours a day are sooooo obscure.

22. They could of simply put curtains on the inside pf the hole house, how difficult is that.

24. Down here in the Domincan Republic, I've had my windows draped like that for years.

Because you just never know who's going to decide to take a peep.

25. If they didn't want the publicity then they should have stayed in Africa where the cameras couldn't get them. And as for those wishing for a happily ever after, since when does Angie ever settle down? Kids or not she's always on the go and soon she will find another sucker to fall for! She's nothing but a homewrecker and Jen should sue Brad for adultry!!!!

26. I am really sick and tired of people always thinking that Jen is so innocent when it comes to Brad and Her getting a divorce. A divorce takes two just like a marriage. People need to quit blaming Angelina for the divorce. Angelina and Brad have a beautiful family. Just because they are famous doesn't mean they don't deserve privacy. They are good at what they do. People who say mean things are just flat out JEALOUS. Now for Heidi, she flat out needs help. For her to say that about Brad and Angelina is just horrible. It really make you realize just what kind of person that she is. As for selling the baby pictures to People Magazine, the paparazi would get a picture of the new baby anyway so why not help the out the less unfortunate. I think what they did shows that they are very caring people and that GOD would be proud. It is people like them that make the world a better place to live in. Go Angelina and Brad!!!!

27. Half you losers are just whining that should be able to live a normal life?
What is a normal life? Huh? Do you have any idea what the hell you're saying???
Oh, so getting paid millions of dollars for making semi-decent movies is normal right? Pampered stars who live the lavish life, they know what they were getting themselves into. They make millions, they probably are worth 250 million or more. They "earned" that money by showing emotions while being filmed by a camera.
If Brad and Angelina make 20 million each for 5 months work, I think they can handle some sleazy-ass photographer trying to catch a rapidly declining Jolie in a one-piece bathing suit.
Give me a break people! Why, with your "Oh, poor Brad and Angelina."
You make me sick.
They don't deserve personal lives. Yeah, I said it.
They sold their image to make more money than any of us will ever see.
Don't you get it? They sold their image.
I hope that the baby grows up hating his parents
for subjecting him to that claustiphobic lifestyle.
Selfish assholes.

28. Hello ---- I dont think Heidi was saying anything about "wishing they were dead" or leaving the children as orphans for Christs sake. Lighten up folks. Its only a chat room. Now, how is a drape on the OUTSIDE going to stop someone from pulling the drape back and looking in?????????????? Wouldnt you want the drape on the INSIDE so you could control it yourself (either close them or open them like normal drapes)?????????? Am I not getting something or what??????????

29. I agree, if they wanted the publicity to stop then stay in Africa. They shouldn't have pretended they weren't together from the beginning. That just made everybody more curious. Everyone was eager to be the first to get a picture of them as a couple. So all the photographers followed them everywhere. If they would have just come out in the open at the beginning then maybe, just maybe, things wouldn't have gotten so out of hand. As for Angelina settling down, I think "FAT CHANCE" on that one. This isn't the first time she's fallen for a co-star, it's just the first time she got pregnant by one. Given time things will die down as I'm sure their relationship will... To all the photographers who are willing to camp out on the ocean to snap pictures of their living room...GET A LIFE. Invasion of privacy is illegal. Snapping pictures of people in their homes is just not kosher .

30. It's easy enough for stars to stay out of the limelight if that's what they want. Living in LA, in a very public house, is not it. Many stars who value their privacy chose to live elsewhere, or else in a gated area with some landscaping and fencing around their homes. They don't get spied on except when out and about and then, they're fair game.

I think Brangelina are paparazzi targets because that's the way they want it. This "leave us alone" stuff doesn't fly.
