Celebrity life

Apparently Angelina Jolie is shooting a movie in Prague. She and Brad have rented a house to use while she is shooting the movie. Their house is not far away from our apartment. We walked by it on the way home from playgroup yesterday and I ran by it this morning on my run. Having never seen celebrity life in any way I am a little stunned. I would never want to have that life. The house they have rented has bamboo around the fence so as to block all view of the yard. All the blinds are closed on every window. That is the only way they can have any privacy. I have never seen paparazzi until now. There are probably about 30 guys standing around outside with their cameras. There is a security guard on every street surrounding the block that the house is on so as to stop any of the paparazzi that attempts to climb trees to see into the backyard. It is amazing to me! It is like they are animals in a cage. I would never want that life. It actually makes me feel sad for them that they have to live that way.
