Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie reportedly asked for a 95 per cent discount on a hotel in Texas.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie reportedly asked for a 95 per cent discount on a Texas hotel.

The pair - who have four children and are said to be expecting twins - wanted to stay at the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort and Spa near Austin in Texas while Brad was shooting 'Tree of Life', but were stunned to find out the suite cost $2,000 a night.

Instead of paying the fee, Brad's people reportedly asked the manager to let them stay in Litton House - a 2,600 sq ft residence separate from the main resort - for 30 days for the price of $3,000, which is a 95 per cent discount on the standard rate.

However, sources close to the couple say they didn't ask for the discount because they couldn't afford the price, they simply wanted to stick to the budget for 'Tree of Life'. hmmmm well Ok..I guess

Brad took on the role in the independent film after lead actor Heath Ledger died of an accidental prescription drugs overdose in January.

Brad and Angelina eventually decided to stay in a rented house near the rest of the cast and crew in Smithville, Texas.

Angelina has also been in touch with the property managers about holding a fundraising event at the resort, another possible reason for asking for the discount.

Great stuff Kip!

I am feeling a little out of touch with Brittany's life these days. Perhaps you could post an update.

It’s been a while since we've seen Alli Sims with her famous cousin, Britney Spears. Ever since papa Spears came into the picture, Alli has basically been MIA from Brit's life.

Hollyscoop caught up with Alli last night at the Kritik clothing bash at Lisa Kline where she talked to us about her upcoming album, which she says will have a country edge, and cousin of course her cousin Brit.

When asked if there will be an Alli/Britney duet she told Hollyscoop, "I don’t know you never know about anything like that."

She continued, “I am just glad to see that she’s doing good right now and I think that’s all she really needs to concentrate right now is her boys and stuff like that, they are so cute and they are getting so big."

When asked if she's been in contact with the boys she said, “I haven’t seen them in awhile but I saw pictures, they are big…they are big boys now, they are not babies.”

So has Alli's world been dull since Britney's life stopped being so chaotic? Not at all, she said it's good to see Britney getting her life back on track. Agreed!
