The talk of the town in Fairhope Friday concerned actor Brad Pitt.
There were reported sightings all over the city and News Five received a number of phone calls.
There was a logical reason Pitt could be in Fairhope.
Pitt has been involved with relief efforts from Hurricane Katrina.
And it so happens a documentary about Katrina was showing Friday at the first Fairhope Film Festival.
What did the festival's director know?
Ryan Robinson said, "I have heard the rumors about Brad Pitt. I do not know if they are true."
We asked the producer and director of that documentary, "Forgotten Coast," what she knew.
Jamie Christensen Johnston said, "I have not seen him, but if he would like to come to my film, that would be fine with me."
We checked the screening room where the movie was going to play: no Brad Pitt.
But there were some people who came to the festival hoping to see him.
Michelle Crocker said she heard "that he was eating at Papa's Pizza and now he's at the film festival."
We went to Papa's Pizza, but one of the workers, Louisa Carnovale, said, "I've seen him on TV, not around here."
Still another person told us he had been in Page and Palette book store.
But Jeanne Raggio at Page and Palette said, "We've not seen him."
However, Raggio said the store had gotten more than a dozen phone calls asking the same question.
For the record, there's still no confirmation that Brad Pitt was actually in Fairhope.

This all came out of an April Fools Joke WABB was trying to pull on everyone.  They said that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were looking at Hospitals in Mobile to have their next baby at.  It was all a joke- they were never here.

I wouldn’t mind getting a glimpse of him. He is a 10 in my book.

There is a picture of a girl that looks like Angelina Jolie on Tomaso’s Martial Arts Academy website. Tomasomartialarts.com

I thought I saw Brad Pitt working out at Tomaso’s Martial Arts Academy in Fairhope.

Is there some reason I am supposed to care if this guy is in Fairhope?

Hi, I am a local Fairhope pharmacist who lives a few miles south of The Grand Hotel on County Road 1. I definatly saw Brad Pitt early Thursday morning leisurely riding a Grand Hotel bicycle down our road which goes along the water. I was on my way to work, driving south on Co. Rd. 1 when I passed him. He was biking slowly, looking out at the water and at the katrina damage, I guess. He instantly caught my eye as he and I were the only two on the road that morning and he was looking very very tan, in shape, had no shirt on, just some yellow shorts, running shoes, and a pair of aviator sunglasses. It was definatly him!!! I had no idea he was in town at all so I didn’t tell anyone about seeing him. I couldn’t belive it as I drove past him. He was gazing out at the water so as to not make eye contact (I guess for fear of being recognized). I didn’t really belive it was him until the following day when I heard that he was rumored to be in town to promote his NOLA documentary!
