Exclusive: Inside Brangelina's Malibu Pad

Posted Jun 14th 2006 11:01AM by TMZ Staff

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.

31. People they are putting drapes for privacy just like you and I do in our house so that neighbours don't look in. Why all the unnecessary remarks?

32. Hello to everyone! First of all I think we are having a problem separating humanity from celebrity. Why is it so hard to get a grip that just because someone is a celebrity that they can do no wrong. To err is human, does that ring any bells? Man/woman have the potential to fail you. With that being said I am a huge Brad and Angelina fan. I loved to see their work before there was a "Bragelina". Their getting together does not change that fact because quite simply what they eat don't make me sh*t. I will admit to actively searching for articles about them simply because I find them to be very beautiful people and even the most devout Jen fan will have to admit that even knowing the perils of a fire you still can't help but admire it's beauty. Since I'm on my soap box I will even go so far as to say that even though I have never had any feeling one way or another about Jen or the cast of Friends, as a married woman I can only imagine what she may be feeling. But to be fair to Brad I don't know the whole story, was he feeling emptiness because his wife chose her career over his need for a family? Should he have given her more time? One thing for sure is he made a decision and all the anger of the Bennifer fans will not change what has happened. As for Angelina, I believe that any and everybody has the potential to mature and make changes in their lives. I think that we should all be a little more responsible in the labels that are given to her because just think about it would you want your children to grow up with somebodies else image of their mother plastered everywhere? She appears to be a loving mother and if you will think about it she had begun to tame her wildness once she adopted Maddox, hence the divorce from BBT because he liked her better when she was out there. Well my dime is spent. I for you all to have the peace that surpasses all understanding...

34. Why should they stay in Africa- because people have nothing better but to watch every move they make...paparazzi should get a life!!!! Let these people live theirs....A line should be drawn somewhere..since when does Africa have one up on us...We should follow their lead and protect these people from these peeping tom's....After Princess Di's death, We should of learned something from that...Even after they killed her, we still let the paparazzi destroy peoples privacy..I know we all love our privacy...Stars do too...Let them live a normal life!!!

36. "If they want a private life, buy a ranch on 100 acres in Montana. Now that's privacy."

I agree. They should have laws set in place to prevent papz from taking their photos. But at the same time, if they had the opportunity and could do so, I believe celebs should try to make their homes elsewhere. Of course, that did NOT work in Namibia, now did it...

There should be laws for celebs, I believe. I completely agree that I feel bad I look at these pics, but it's like voyeurism. you want to know what these famous people are doing, even if they're just sitting around. It's just cool. But if I were an actress, I'd be acceptable of the fact that I'm being photographed (anyone can be photographed, not just celebs, it's happened to me before many times when I didn't like it) BUT at the same time, I'd vote for any law that prevented papz from taking my photo on my property or while I drive or when I am inside a place, like a restaurant or store. If I am outside, well, then maybe I'll go easy on them. But not on my property.

And I still do not understand why they aren't making any state laws?
You should ask yourself THAT! I mean, I think there is a reason why states aren't creating these laws against papz. Maybe tourism. Maybe popularity of their state. Maybe they secretly support this media hype. Or of course that whole freedom of speech/press law could be it too.

To me personally, as someone who HATES taking her photo, especially unexpectedly, I completly understand how these celebs feel. I've actually ended my friendship with three people because they kept taking my photo unexpectedly when I told them I didn't like it. They would do it on purpose. It's harassing. Because I personally do not want my face on someone else's property, like an album or website or something.

As a celeb though, I'd have to be more accepting of it. But then again, I'd be more prepared for it and expecting it more.

37. Good point Katrina.

38. Tiffany, as someone who has done some wild things in the past, I ALWAYS kept in mind how it would look in the future if I wanted a good husband and kids. So, I made sure I didn't do things out in the open for all the public to see or I didn't go too far and luckily I made some really good friends along the way who said, "Hey, you shouldn't be doing that." And I actually stopped doing alot of wild things after a very, very brief period... before it went too far... and lemme tell you, without those friends, I would have done ALOT more than Angelina ever did. But Angelina, unfortunately, did alot of things in her past, where now whatever she does, she's going to be blasphemied for it.

You CANNOT blame the people. People have a right to voice their opinions on a celeb who seems to do ALOT of outrageous stuff! Even getting together with Brad and having his baby so soon! ANYBODY would be staring at that and criticizing it. People are skeptics. Also, Angelina isn't willing to explain herself to people anymore. Right, right, she has the right not to. But people are questioning it and hitting her verbally for it. And alot of people who do say really bad things about angelina, and are NOT Jen fans, they are probably one of the most die-hard fans of Angelina. But they study Angelina differently and may be more critical of her. In fact, those people probably study the whole "Bermuda triangle," the hardest. Most people who say negative things about Angelina were her fans, but probably lost support for her when she hooked up with brad because to any skeptical eye, it looks shady, especially when nothing's said about it.

39. That is really sad for the children, let these people live they've
earned there money and donate millions. They have a new
little baby and it is sad they have to hide from the paparizzi
just to try to protect their family and personal life.
I hope the paparizzi chills down for the sake of the children.
They already have been orphaned and Angelina is trying
to give them a happy life.

They have a right to live anywhere they want

40. I guess you do pay a price for fame and this may mean moving to a property that is easier to secure. There is not only the nuisance of paparazzi but also the danger of kidnapping. etc.

41. The "W" mag cover last year where Brad and Angie were on the cover with children playing in the back yard, Brad with his stupid hat all occurred before the divorce, what a slap in the face to his then wife. To intentionally hurt your then wife, speaks to Brad and Angie's character. Very poor choice and a cover shoot they really didn't have to do - clearly the intent was to say FY to his wife, to intentionally hurt someone in that way - seriously speaks to the characters of both participates. Whats the old saying, if they a history of cheating, lying, deceit, your future doesn't look so bright. Again the kids are the ones who suffer.

42. I don't understand why the media is so focused on this couple and their illegitimate baby that was made while Brad was still married to another woman? I used to be a huge fan of Brad Pitt, not because of his looks, but for his incredible acting ablilities. I will no longer spend my money on his movies.
And a message for Brad:
Angelina is the kind of slut that every guy wants to F**k in high school. Jennifer is the kind that a guy should want to marry.

43. Exactly, I am with you!!! I used to watch all the movies, but since all this has happend I refuse to watch any movie with either of them in it!!
Angelina is the kind of slut that probably almost everyone has f**ked, including her brother.
And in response to Julie(I think was her name), it normally does take two people to decide to divorce. Unless like in this case your husband is screwing his co-star behind your back and lying about it! Get real!!!!

44. Ummmm, sympathy for movie stars over paparazzi? Give me a break. Let's not forget that these people are just narcissists. They CHOSE this life. When you make it your goal in life to be a movie star, this is what you sign up for. With their billions of dollars and a world of resources, I think they'll live.

45. I fully believe that "stars" are entitled to a private home life. How are they supposed to relax if they know they are always being watched? It is horrible and unfair. I personally do not read any of those rag mags. I do enjoy to see the stars decked out on "red carpet" events.(The cloths are always spectacular). And they are ready for the public and pics, but leave them alone at home. There SHOULD be a law against it.
