The Battle Of Chateau Miraval - Brangelina Vs. The Paparazzi


News is all abuzz of the paparazzi who were beaten up by Brangelina bodyguards on the grounds of the 1,235-acre grounds of Miraval, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's chateau in southern France. This happened last Thursday, but it hasn't died down yet.

Everyone's getting in on the story. Here's what I got. There are 2 versions of this story - one of which puts the Brangelina party in a bad light where armored guards from the Brangelina chateau charged out with motorcycles to capture the "semi-innocent" paparazzi who were harmlessly (?) in the woods while the other side tells of 2 rambo paparazzis invading the Pitt-Jolie chateau for a picture of their very expensive new-born twins.

Anyway it all ends in the same way - in blood-shed with both parties getting injured and now filing legal action against each other.

In the end, I think it's the paparazzis' fault. Nobody told them to go into the woods and attempt to catch million dollar images of the Brangelina twins. The paparazzi intentionally wanted to do something malicious with the camouflage attire and that's just wrong.

You can't blame Brad Pitt for declaring war on them, they wanted to get away from the public eye (if that is ever indeed possible) by moving to France.
