Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: The Nightmare Continues

I'm sure it sounded romantic.  Escape the awful US and all the baggage of the fans and the paparazzi and head to the refined countries of Europe to await the birth of their first baby.

A Prison of Their Own Making?

But they wound up in what was reported as a stinky, smelly dump of an apartment in Paris and have now shifted to Africa where Jolie may give birth.

That's not going well either if reports are accurate- in Africa the Brad and Angie nightmare continues.

Star Magazine gives this report:

On April 16, their desperation reached new levels- Angelina and Brad ordered security guards to “shrink-wrap” the entire villa they rented on the Atlantic Ocean. 

Add to that the kids are bored, the weather is hot and thundery, and Angelina and Brad are tearing their hair out- in a prison of their own making.  

Tall green sunshades were erected around the low key Burning Shore beach Lodge near Swakopmund, and now the couple can't even see the ocean, which is the main reason tourists flock to this stretch of coast. 

Plus, they set up giant spotlights to scan the beach at night, adding to the prison yard atmosphere. 

Add to that locals have criticized the stars for spending more than a quarter of a million dollars- for security and for renting the entire lodge for two months.  “These people made their money from being in the public eye. 

Surely, it would be a small price to pay to have people recognize them or take some pictures,” says a local resident.  “Instead there is an army of aggressive bodyguards who menace anyone on the beach.  The atmosphere has gone very sour."

What's next? 

Angie is reportedly due sometime in May or June.  Should they stay or should they go?
