Exclusive: Inside Brangelina's Malibu Pad
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.
Shiloh's First T-Shirt
What did Angelina and Brad dress Baby Shiloh in for her much anticipated photo debut? TMZ has the exact t-shirt Brangelina's baby had on when the world first caught glimpse of her.
Shiloh's hip fashion threads were from designer Kingsley - specifically the Pots & Pans Band tee. The shirt retails for around $40. The designer's clothes are geared toward rock n' roll baby apparel, they even play Led Zeppelin on the website.
It looks like baby Shiloh is on her way to being as hip as her brother Maddox and sister Zahara.
Check out the tee with an edge.
