BLOG/OPINIONAre Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt treated like royalty every where they go? Do Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie get presidential treatment? Are Brad and Angie spoiled?
You won't believe what some businesses are doing in order to get Brad and Angelina through their doors. Some of the actions should be just plain embarrassing to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
The Chicago Sun Times says in an effort to get Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to stay at their hotels, companies are employing military-like measures. Tint is placed on their suite windows, pools are cleared out for their use with ''Under Repair'' signs and hotel newsstands dispose of any magazines that feature them on the cover.
No one should surprised that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt receive preferential treatment. But, some of these actions are just embarrassing and don't make much sense.
Why would any hotel go through these measures just to get Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to stay with them?
Money surely isn't an issue. Any hotel that Brad and Angie visit is sure to be high scale and quite expensive. These hotels have a wide variety of clientele to choose from and couldn't possible be losing money because one celebrity couple is not staying there.
Publicity can not be a concern either. If they were interested in letting people know that Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt or both of them at the same time were staying at their hotel they wouldn't go through all those measures to keep their presence a secret.
What I find to be particuarly embarrassing is the fact that these hotels are disposing of any magazines that have them on the cover. This should be embarrassing to both the hotels and Brad and Angelina. It is just plain pandering by the hotels and if Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt can not handle what is written about them then they might as well just quit show business right now.
But, just as a disclaimer, this was reported by the The Chicago Sun Times and anything they print should be taken with a grain of salt.

I think you misunderstood your own information. All hotels in the area are not taking these steps to attempt to lure the couple there. The Claremont in Berkley took these action because the couple IS staying there. They paid to rent out an entire floor and paid to have the spa closed for their personal use and one of the pools for their children's private use. The Claremont is very much reaping the rewards of the money. And due to that reason alone they are willing to remove all tabloids that might show the couple on the front so that their children walking through the lobby are not exposed to it.
