Brad and Angelina move to New Orleans

Angelina Jolie tells Us Weekly that she and Brad Pitt have moved their three children, Maddox,5, Zahara, 2, and 7-month-old Shiloh, to New Orleans.

�We love it there,� Jolie said at the Golden Globe Awards after confirming the move. �The kids are going to go to school there. We're really looking forward to it.�

On January 12, just a day after moving to The Big Easy, Jolie was already mixing with the locals at restaurant Angeli on Decatur.

Diner Jorge Palacios said that the star � clad in an ivory dress over white pants � blended right in: �No one at my table believed me when I told them it was her.� And that�s just what she wants.

While Pitt works (he�s filming The Curious Case of Benjamin Button locally), sources say Jolie, 31, plans on being a low-key mom in the $3.5 million, six-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath mansion the pair recently purchased (their fourth house) in the French Quarter.

�She�s interested in befriending normal moms so she can do things with the kids,� says a Jolie source.

And who can forget their humanitarian efforts? �Angelina has asked for places she can do charity work,� says the source, who adds that Jolie had inquired about a school for disadvantaged youth. And construction is set to start this month on the 20 environment-friendly homes Pitt, 43, jointly commissioned with Global Green USA.

The couple also hope to raise awareness for the region, which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Says the source, �They think it is important to be there right now.�
