BRAD PITT AND ANGELINA JOLIE MOVE TO NEW ORLEANS

Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may be Tinseltown's golden couple but they're settling down a long way from Hollywood — New Orleans in fact. "We love it there," the 'Tomb Raider' star revealed to Us Weekly, confirming that she and Pitt had already moved their family to The Big Easy. "The kids are going to go to school there," Jolie said of her children, Shiloh (7 months), two-year-old Zahara, and five-year old Maddox. "We're really looking forward to it," she told the magazine at the Golden Globe awards on Monday. The couple reportedly moved on Thursday, 11th of January. The move is partly the result of Pitt's latest film, 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button', which is being shot in the Louisiana city, and the 'Troy' star's rehabilitation program for the community devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The 43-year-old actor commissioned 20 environmentally friendly homes in the city as part of a project in conjunction with Global Green USA. Construction on the buildings is set to begin during January. Jolie is keen to do charity work of her own. "Angelina has asked for places she can do charity work," a source told Us magazine. The actress was reportedly interested in working with a school for disadvantaged children. The couple are also planning to increase public awareness of the problems still facing New Orleans, more than a year after Katrina caused widespread devastation. "They think it is important to be there right now," the source added. But the 31-year-old 'Alexander' actress also wanted to lead a "normal" life in the city. "She’s interested in befriending normal moms so she can do things with the kids." She didn’t waste any time, hanging out at a local restaurant on the day after they arrived in the city. "No one at my table believed me when I told them it was her," Jorge Palacios, a diner at Angeli on Decatur, told Us of the actress who ate in the restaurant wearing white pants and an ivory dress. The six-bedroom mansion the couple bought in the city's French Quarter for a reported $3.5-million, is their fourth home.
