Jolie set to buy luxury LA pad

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has been house hunting in Los Angeles without long-term partner Brad Pitt.

The Tomb Raider star privately viewed a $2m (€1.5m) luxury villa in Laurel Canyon.

Current owner Wolfgang Wind says: "It was very strange because it was just her, no bodyguard, no assistant, no nanny, no kids and no Brad.

"I had no idea who the potential buyer was until I saw her.

"She looked extremely skinny. She was very flattering and said the house was extremely nice and I am hoping that she'll make an offer."

Jolie recently quashed rumours her relationship with Pitt is on the rocks, insisting the pair have "blind faith" in each other.
