EDMONTON - Belal and Mohamed Jomha were in their clothing store in West Edmonton Mall on Wednesday afternoon when they heard the excited buzz:

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were in the mall.

The two young men deserted their store, grabbed their cameras and headed off in search of the movie stars. Like regular paparazzi, they stalked the couple for 45 minutes as Pitt and Jolie, with two young children, toured the Galaxyland Amusement Park.

"They were eating in the food court," said Belal Jomha, 26. "But they had a big ring (of fans) around them so we couldn't get anything at the food court."

Once the stars started walking around Galaxyland, the Jomhas cut ahead of them to beat the crowd and get their photos.

"We knew all the shortcuts through the mall, so we were always one step ahead of them and the crowd," Belal said.

Pitt looked very thin, he said.

The cousins hope to sell their photos of the couple to celebrity magazines.

Pitt, 41, is in Edmonton filming The Assassination of Jesse James, but hadn't been seen around town until Wednesday.

Pitt and Jolie met when they filmed Mr. and Mrs. Smith last year and are now rumoured to be romantically linked. Pitt and his wife Jennifer Aniston announced their separation in March, and the divorce will be final Oct. 2.

Jolie, 30, has two adopted children.

The $30-million movie is being shot at Fort Edmonton Park and locations around Calgary.

Other stars include Sam Shepard and Mary Louise Parker.

Lucky you Luv. I love me some Brad Pitt!! I hope you get to see them. They make a lovely couple. I had nothing against Jen, but Ang seems to care more about the world than her hair, so she's ok in my books!!

I was at work when this occured. I heard on the radio that they had all kinds of security with them. They stayed at the mall for about 4 hours.

Brad Pitt was driving a silver SUV. They went to Taco Bell before heading to the Mall. The person serving them at the drive-thru did not recognize them
