ANGELINA Jolie and Brad Pitt's tactic of avoiding the paparazzi by commuting across the south of France by helicopter has the locals hot under the collar.

In the past week it seems, the Pitt-Jolies buzzed Mont-Blanc ... "overlooking glaciers sick (because) of global warming", flew around the French Riviera and the Alpilles above a "nest of paparazzi" who can earn over $130,000 for photos of the pregnant superstar.
Here's a translation of a Toulon regional travel blog, maville.com, dated May 11, by Jean-François Roubaud, who wants to know how Jolie, the crusader for third-world and environmental causes, justifies her pollution of France's beautiful countryside via helicopter commuting.

"Rather than continuing to give us lessons in ecology, Angelina and Brad would be better to lead by example instead take a helicopter for a yes for a no." - the blog writer says.

Their decoy cars and ploys cause havoc as the paparazzi chase down every dead-end lead, Jean-François says.

And still Splash managed to snap them enjoying a day out at the beach after other paparazzi fell for decoys - apparently.

"As a result, determined to live happily, so hidden, Angelina, Brad and the whole family prefer to fly above this nest of paparazzi ... leaves a terrible pass for polluters."

He also takes a dig at the couple's decision to pull out of a real estate deal to buy Eygalieres for $32.9m last summer after Pitt was refused permission to build a motorcycle track.

Pitt obviously needs to have a little chat with Johnny Depp, who moved to France many years ago, about fitting in with the locals.
