Washington has traded up in the area of celebrity worshiping, it seems. Gone are the days of grudgingly admitting that someone is “famous for D.C.” Nicole Kidman, Kiefer Sutherland and Eva Longoria may have left town but media darlings, humanitarians and the preternaturally pretty Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are ready to move in. Literally. A faithful DCist reader tipped us off to a People Magazine report that Brad and Angelina were seen leaving the offices of an “upscale real estate broker” on Saturday afternoon. The Post’s Reliable Source reported that the unconfirmed twosome had dinner (along with Jolie’s son Maddox) at the Mayflower last Thursday. If that’s not enough, our spies report seeing the Mr. and Mrs. Smith co-stars at Cafe Milano on Friday night, sharing a table just inches away from May-December husband and wife Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas.
All this has us wondering where exactly this dynamic duo would live while saving the world one orphaned child at a time. Perhaps they’ll opt for a small Capitol Hill rowhouse when they’re lobbying Congress? Maybe something more roomy along Foxhall Road in Northwest? We bet they could certainly afford one of the fancy new condos springing up in Columbia Heights. Or how about a group house in Adams Morgan?
Either way, there goes the neighborhood.
DCist wants to give credit where it’s due. Thanks to Holly Garner for doing some impressive leg work on this.
