"...from the factual to the absurd, including the factually absurd." |
Because we at AmericaUnleaded are interested in mathematics and facts (as close to the facts as we can get, anyway), we thought it would be interesting to explore some numbers behind the Brangelina paparazzi mayhem. Here goes…

Brangelina:
Cost Breakdown of Giving Birth to a Super Celebrity Baby |
People seem to be incredibly fascinated by the impending first offspring of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. If they move one inch in Namibia (where supposedly they are camping out and awaiting the arrival of their bundle of joy), there’s a press stampede to cover the story.
What a lot of people don’t talk about, however, is how much it costs to fend off paparazzi and the like when you reach super stardom. These days, you better figure it into your budget in case your career blows up and you become über gossip column fodder.
Let’s explore the numbers on this one. Maybe it really bites into those $15-20 million dollars-per-movie salaries.

>> Burning Shore Lodge is supposedly where Brad and Angelina are staying.
If you stay there, your food will be kept warm with these round metal thingys. Delicate wall sconces add tons of ambiance to the dining room. No, you can't afford them and you can't pick up a few at Target Greatland. |

Operation “Burning Shores Brangelina Baby Hideout” |
To rent out all of Burning Shore Lodge in Namibia, you have to throw down some serious moola for all 12 rooms. And that doesn’t include chartering some private planes to get your butt and those of your family and entourage there. Lucky for Brad & Angelina, it’s “Value Season Rates” time in Namibia!

Now, in this CNN article dated Sunday, April 16th, Governor Nuuyoma of the Namibian province where Brad and Angelina are staying, said that he had breakfast on Friday with the couple. First of all, so much for securing their privacy, Mr. Nuuyoma! Anyway, that would mean the date they had breakfast was the 14th of April. And let's assume that Brad, Angelina, Maddox and Zahara all arrived earlier that week and got settled in. So, perhaps they were there since Monday, April 10th.
Back to our math...
