Jolie, Pitt move to New Orleans, report says

6 minutes ago

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Globe-trotting Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have moved to New Orleans and plan to send their three children to school there, Us Weekly magazine reported on Tuesday.

"We love it there," Jolie was quoted as saying in confirming the move at the Golden Globe awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Monday night. "The kids are going to go to school there. We're really looking forward to it."

Representatives for Pitt, 43, and Jolie, 31, could not immediately be reached for comment.

But according to the story posted on the magazine's Web site, the couple's relocation to the flood-ravaged Louisiana city is at least partly in keeping with their off-screen devotion to various humanitarian causes around the world. They spent Christmas Day handing out presents to Colombian war refugees in Costa Rica.

According to Us Weekly, the movie star pair moved to the Big Easy on January 11 and have purchased a $3.5 million, six-bed mansion in the city's French Quarter -- the fourth house owned by the couple.

One diner at a Decatur Street restaurant told the magazine he saw Jolie quietly mixing with the locals the day after she and Pitt moved to town.

Us Weekly cites unnamed sources as saying Jolie plans on keeping a low profile in her newly adopted home town, where Pitt is currently on location shooting his latest film, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."

"She's interested in befriending normal moms so she can do things with the kids," one source told the magazine, adding that the couple also hopes to raise awareness for the hurricane-devastated Gulf Coast region.

"They think it is important to be there right now" and are already looking to get more involved in local charity work, the source said. According to Us Weekly, construction is set to start this month on 20 environment-friendly homes Pitt has jointly commissioned with the group Global Green USA.


Pitt, currently starring in the globe-spanning drama "Babel," and Jolie, an Oscar winner for her role in "Girl, Interrupted," co-starred as married assassins hired to kill each other in the film "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." According to Jolie, they began a romantic relationship after Pitt's marriage to Jennifer Aniston broke up in early 2005.

Jolie has said they have no plans to marry but are committed to raising their three children together.

Jolie adopted 5-year-old son Maddox from Cambodia in 2002 and 2-year-old daughter, Zahara, from Ethiopia, in 2005. She gave birth last year in Namibia to her first biological child, a daughter fathered by Pitt they named Shiloh. Pitt has also become the adoptive father of Maddox and Zahara.

Yeah...

Uh, uh, uh...

(chorus)

Angelina Jolie,
Go on,
Holler at me,
Girl,
Holler at me,
Holler at me,

(x4)


I wanna shag,
A, celebrity,
I must confess,
It, just ain't me,

See-

Reality TV,
Is,
Reality to me,
'Cause-
Reality,
Just, ain't free,

Trust-
In the boob-tube,
When I'm in a rude-mood,
Crude-dude,
Dumb enough-
To cop an attitude-
Dude,

Fast food, for thought,
Fear Factor, bought,
Seen-
Maggots for a meal,
I'd rather-
Be shot!

But caught-
In "Hot or Not"�,
Surreal Life, we got,
The Simple Life's the spot,
See: Paris Hilton say "Hot"!

So-

Before-
My brain-rot,

I swore-
I'd take stock,

Reward-
The brainy-hot,

By flippin'-
My spot,

So-

If you in-
The T-Dot,
Lookin' for-
Ya G-Spot,

Or-
The weed-spot,
I'll chop-
What I got,

I'll-
Stop, drop, and roll,
Go on,
Find me some hay,

And-
Angelina Jolie,
Go on,
Holler at me...


(chorus)

Angelina Jolie,
Go on,
Holler at me,
Girl,
Holler at me,
Holler at me,

(x4)


Lips, hips, and more,
Eye shadow's an eyesore,

She's a dollar-fourty-four,
And the world's-
A dime-store,

Rhymes'll dap more,
She did-
A hunger tour,

I could say more,
But I don't-
Wanna bore,

So-

Back to the mack,
But girl-
I ain't diss ya,

Lower-back,
Like cooked-crack,
So, call me:
Crack Krishna!

Wishin' upon,
A Hollywood star,

Bollywood's far,
But it's on, the radar,

And since Jay-Z,
Beyonce,
Be a-
Fiance,
I wan' say,
Angelina's-
Right on sched,

'Cause:

Only two rappers I fear,

And-

They' both dead!

Only two rappers I fear,

And-

They' both dead...


(chorus)

Angelina Jolie,
Go on,
Holler at me,
Girl,
Holler at me,
Holler at me...

(x4)

I was just a -

Bayou Boy,
Raised as soldier,
Had to get colder,
Dad was barely older,
Bolder than my brother,
So clever, joined the Guard,
Wasn't really that hard,
But it's that, or the yard,
Now a weekend's turned to weeks,
Now New Orlean's reeks,
Now normal people are lookin' like freaks,
Play hide and seek with the bodies,
Politicians, paparazzi,
Was a Superdome Nazi,
Tried to play it like it's Yahtzee,
They say we need peace,
But they fired the police,
Now soldiers say desist, and cease,
Or get deceased,
I'm on my knees,
Every night,
I wanna fight for what's right,
But I'm staring at my city,
Underwater every night,
And Blackwater rises,
When a crackhead in sight,
Pop-pop!
From over there,
He was puttin' up a fight,
I ain't shuttin' up tonite,
Gotta knuckle-up and fight,
But if I stick my neck out,
They'll pull a Tech out tonite,
I put my check out of sight,
Can't stand the Blood Money,
Can't stand to see my blood run from me,
A Bayou Boy, now a Bayou Man,

I need to take a stand,

And that's why I ran...


(chorus)

Prayer for New Orleans,
The fallen, the calling,
Prayer,
For the Chocolate City,
To start balling,

Prayer for the Devil's,
Dreamin' of the next date,
With fate, we relate,
Can we say police state?

(x2)

Say a prayer for New Orleans...

(x2)


I'm on the run now,,
Having fun now,,
Got a gun now,,
Let's see who run now...
But they' grabbin' guns,
Left, Right, and Center,
Homeowners and renters,
Store owners, dissenters,
My score only a slender,
Glock-9, all mine,
Feelin' fine,
If I gotta jack a bread line,
I gotta get mine,
Get food,
Get a home, get shelter,
The world's helter skelter,
The cards that were dealt were,
A four-leaf clover,
In a Range Rover,
Soldiers sayin': "Chill out man - the war is over!"
Hope I'm sober,
I'm on my own, and I'm scared,
'Cause Uncle Sam, really seems mad, when he stared,

I Dared to Dream, like Martin once said,

Now I'm scared to dream, or I'll wind up dead...


(chorus)

Prayer for New Orleans,
The fallen, the calling,
Prayer,
For the Chocolate City,
To start balling,

Prayer for the Devil's,
Dreamin' of the next date,
With fate, we relate,
Can we say police state?

(x2)

Say a prayer for New Orleans...

(x2)


Ah, found me a toolshed, a place to nap,
I guess this is where, I should check out my map,
Let's see, Checkpoint A, and Checkpoint B,
And I seem to recall, Checkpoints C and D,
Looks like nowhere's free, and I'm'a die in hell,
And New Orleans, is one big jail...


(chorus)

Prayer for New Orleans,
The fallen, the calling,
Prayer,
For the Chocolate City,
To start balling,

Prayer for the Devil's,
Dreamin' of the next date,
With fate, we relate,
Can we say police state?

(x2)

Say a prayer for New Orleans...

(x2)

Our Mercenaries in Iraq: Blackwater Inc and Bush's Undeclared Surge


Listen to Segment || Download Show mp3

JEREMY SCAHILL: Blackwater is a company that began in 1996 as a private military training facility in -- it was built near the Great Dismal Swamp of North Carolina. And visionary executives, all of them former Navy Seals or other Elite Special Forces people, envisioned it as a project that would take advantage of the anticipated government outsourcing.

Well, here we are a decade later, and it’s the most powerful mercenary firm in the world. It has 20,000 soldiers on the ready, the world’s largest private military base, a fleet of twenty aircraft, including helicopter gunships. It’s become nothing short of the Praetorian Guard for the Bush administration's so-called global war on terror. And it’s headed by a very rightwing Christian activist, ex-Navy Seal named Erik Prince, whose family was one of the major bankrollers of the Republican Revolution of the 1990s. He, himself, is a significant funder of President Bush and his allies.


And what they’ve done is they have built a very frightening empire near the Great Dismal Swamp in North Carolina. They’ve got about 2,300 men actively deployed around the world. They provide the security for the US diplomats in Iraq. They’ve guarded everyone, from Paul Bremer and John Negroponte to the current US ambassador, Zalmay Khalilzad. They’re training troops in Afghanistan. They have been active in the Caspian Sea, where they set up a Special Forces base miles from the Iranian border. They really are the frontline in what the Bush administration viewed as a necessary revolution in military affairs.
In fact, they represent the life's work of Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.

AMY GOODMAN: What do you mean, the “life's work”?

JEREMY SCAHILL: Well, Dick Cheney, when he was Defense Secretary under George H.W. Bush during the Gulf War, one of the last things he did before leaving office was to create an unprecedented lucrative market for the firm that he would go on to head, Halliburton. He commissioned [a] Halliburton [division] to do a study on how to privatize the military bureaucracy. That effectively created the groundwork for the absolute war profiteer bonanza that we’ve seen unfold in the aftermath of 9/11. I mean, Clinton was totally on board with all of this, but it has exploded since 9/11. And so, Cheney, after he left office, when the first Bush was the president, went on to work at the neoconservative American Enterprise Institute, which really led the push for privatization of the government, not just the military.

And then, when these guys took office, Rumsfeld's first real major address, delivered on September 10, 2001, he literally declared war on the Pentagon bureaucracy and said he had come to liberate the Pentagon. And what he meant by that -- and he wrote this in an article in Foreign Affairs -- was that governments, unlike companies, can't die. He literally said that. So you have to figure out new incentives for competition, and Rumsfeld said that it should be run more like a corporation than a bureaucracy. And so, the company that most embodies that vision -- and they call it a revolutionary in military affairs. It’s a total part of the Project for a New American Century and the neoconservative movement. The company that most embodies that is not Halliburton; it’s Blackwater.

Pentagon Unveils Heat-Inducing Ray-Gun: Non-Lethal Crowd Control or Dangerous Weapon?

The Pentagon unveils a new heat-ray gun that is designed to make targets feel like they are about to catch fire. It’s main goal: pain. Does it violate international law, and could it be used for torture? Retired Marine Col. Gary Anderson says: “Why would I want to use an $8 million weapon [when I can use] a 25-cent pen knife?” Human Rights Watch military expert Marc Garlasco says the weapon raises major concerns. They joins us for a discussion. [includes rush transcript]
