Angelina Jolie is house hunting in Portugal. The "Changeling" actress - who raises six children with partner Brad Pitt - is tiring of the hectic pace of life in the U.S., and is keen to embark on a more sedate lifestyle.

Lily Allen is set to splash out $600,000 on a holiday home. The "Not Fair" singer - who already owns an apartment in London - has been house-hunting in the quiet English town of Ilfracombe, Devon, which she wants to use as a getaway from her hectic life in the capital.

A source said: "Lily loves London but would like a bolt hole to escape to. Kate Moss, Liz Hurley and Pete Doherty all have pads in the Cotswolds, but she hit on Devon. Ilfracombe is surprisingly up and coming, plus it's on the coastline and very picturesque.
