BRAD'S BIG EASY HOUSE-HUNT
With Brad Pitt due to arrive in New Orleans to start filming The Curious Case of Benjamin Button on Oct. 6, producers are searching for a place for their star to stay — and a hotel room just won’t do, a source tells Star. "Brad, 42, refuses to stay in a hotel." So producers are looking for a house in the upscale Garden District, near the French Quarter, where much of the movie, based on an F. Scott Fitzgerald short story, will be shot. It looks like privacy is high on his wish list for the house. "Brad told the producers that his family will be visiting a lot, so he needs a house with a yard with high hedges."
