The girl (and boy) next door
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it’s true: Brangelina is upon us for good. Or evil. Take your pick.
And FYI, I do not read US Weekly, except when stuck on line at Sav-A-Center behind customers–generally women of a certain age–who insist on writing checks. One of whom sent me the link. So there.

This MIGHT actually be good. Is bringing further attention to the plight of New Orleans a good thing? Is the fact that Anderson Cooper still broadcasts from the 9th ward still a good thing? Is there such thing as bad publicity?
I think this will be a great thing for tourism at least, if Hollywood’s supercouple is not deterred by our crime wave then the average Joe & Jolina won’t be either. Plus I’m sure they will make some of our local issues national news
Ooooh! Rayna! Quick! Starting setting up those playdates! And y’all even live in the same neighbhorhood!
Actually, I think this IS a good thing. Though the publicity mill that surrounds them puts me off, their activism seems generally well thought-out and genuinely motivated. I wish them well and, at least so far, I’m glad to buy them a round of sazeracs if I see them at Tujague’s.
Are you kidding? I think we’re a PERFECT match for them. What with the poverty and the strife and the latent malaria, we’ll have all the comforts they’ve come to expect in Namibia.
hilarious answer Richard. i just spit all over my screen. haha ;D
Now I can buy that bumper sticker I’ve always wanted:
My kid beat up Brad Pitt’s kid at St. Mary’s Catholic School
I’d still rather run into John Goodman at Langenstein’s than Brad Pitt though.
I wonder where their kids are gonna go to school.
Oh, I remember the days when John Goodman could fit through the doors of the Uptown Langenstein’s…. My, how time flies.
My son, who was working construction, met Goodman outside his Garden District house a several months ago. Seems his electric gate wasn’t working right — kept opening and closing on its own and the guy was all bent out of shape, apparently.
I’d have liked to have seen that. It was apparently a real Barton Fink/Charlie Meadows kinda moment, the way it was told to me.
Ray, County Day in Metre.
er..that’s ‘Country’ :/
Dearest Richard,
You now owe me one cup of coffee, which has somehow landed on my monitor.
Everyone, except on this site, seems to be taking them moving here as some sort of validation of the city or something. I don’t get that. All they’ve done is move to the third world country with the shortest flight from Hollywood. It won’t be so funny when they start riding mules out to the ninth ward to adopt kids.
I, for one, am greenly jealous.
Where is this 3.umpteen million dollar spread in the FQ? Why can’t I afford it!
OK, that’s passed. Still …
Oh boy maby i can get Mr. Brad and Ms.Anglina to adopt me, wonder why they just didn’t build a new mansion in the nineth ward?
Are there paparazzi staked out in the French Quarter?
I would love to set up a playdate. I don’t know a lot of Moms either having moved here not to long ago myself. Check out this article. The Rayna they are talking about, that’s me.

paparazzi are here but not staking out. Not too bad yet
bring em on. its all good. leave the fucking famous people alone yall. if they bring a little sunshine to our life it’s all good. plantation life aint so bad.
Well, good, I’m glad you guys haven’t been flooded by paparazzi– I’m a New Yorker who visits New Orleans regularly and have often thought about calling it home…One of the things I love best about hanging out in the city is that you don’t get that feeling you get in some places in New York like, here come the VIPs, commoners back away. It’s hard to see a feeling like that springing up on Frechman or something, but still, fear of that vibe is what freaks me out a little about Brangelina. I know they’re hardly the first celeb couple to hit the Quarter. It’s just that it seems like they’re greeted everywhere as gods among us.
