The German press is closely following Brad Pitt’s every move, but he has only stepped out alone since arriving in Berlin Tuesday afternoon with his family. Angelina and the kids are probably holed up in that giant house.

Pitt went to the doctor yesterday – it looked semi-urgent, but he went out afterwards
Brad Pitt went to an orthopedic doctor in Berlin’s Charlottenburg district yesterday. He was seen holding a large envelope on his way in which was presumed to have been X-Rays. It was thought to be urgent as he interrupted a meeting with Quentin Tarantino to go to the doctor, where he was for about a half an hour. Maybe he was just hanging out with Tarantino though and there was an opening at the doctor’s office so he took it. [Details from German language Bild.de, translated by my husband]

Pitt went out to dinner with director Tarantino and castmates, left at 2:00 am
Pitt went out to dinner last night at the Italian restaurant Vino e Cucina in Berlin-Mitte, or central Berlin, with Quentin Tarantino and his castmates from the film Inglorious Bastards. The future co-workers were there for several hours and Pitt didn’t emerge until 2:00 am, looking slightly tipsy, according to reports. He just looked tired to me. Also at dinner were Diane Kruger, Christian Berkel, Daniel Brühl, Michael Fassbender, Gedeon Burkhard, and Till Schweiger, who is often called “The German Brad Pitt.” (And here’s why – the guy is hot!)

Rent on their estate is €30,000 Euro a month, around $44,000 USD
The monthly rent on the Palais Parkschloss is said to be €30,000 Euro, which works out to 10 Euro a square meter, which is average for rental rates in desirable areas of Berlin. Limousines were seen entering their compound many times today and a few curious onlookers drove by. There wasn’t much to see though. The Palais was built in 1907 and the main mansion has 20 rooms. As we reported yesterday, the estate is 130,000 square feet, with three mansions totaling 30,000 square feet of living space.

German reaction to ‘Brangelina Fever’ is muted
Just about everyone knows where the Jolie-Pitts are staying, it’s in all the papers and is big news, but they’re not really flocking there except for the paparazzi. Germans are not a celebrity-obsessed culture in general, and tend to be pretty low-key about this sort of thing. They don’t make a big deal out of things or hype it like the US media is apt to do. Here’s a German-language video from Stern.de that only shows the house and footage of the last time they were in Berlin in the spring of 2006. The people on the street interviewed say things like ‘It doesn’t matter [that Brad and Angelina are here],’ and ‘Even if you got to see them, you don’t know them.’ I have a four year old in Berlin and he’s visited Bambooland and Aquadom, the two places the family is shown during their 2006 visit, multiple times.

Brad Pitt is shown out to dinner last night and this morning at the studio in Potsdam. Also shown are Quentin Tarantino, Christian Berkel, Diane Kruger, Daniel Brühl, Gedeon Burkhard, and Til Schweiger. Credit: WENN
