Lake Havasu City was electrified Tuesday after movie stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were spotted at several locales in the area.

Cell phones were ringing all over town as word of the super celebrity couple filtered in.

The first sighting came Monday night when the couple appeared at Javelina Cantina for a late dinner just as the monsoon kicked into full throttle outside.

A bartender for the restaurant said they dropped in just after 9 p.m. and requested a private booth.

There were unconfirmed reports that the pair also showed up in a few other area nightclubs before retiring for the evening.

The couple next was spotted checking out of the Agave Inn Tuesday morning and stopped in at the local IHOP for some breakfast.

A News-Herald reporter spotted Jolie outside the popular eatery as the couple was leaving. The 30-year-old movie star was seen taking photos with two teenage girls on their cell/camera phone.

Jolie then hurried into a silver Ford minivan that was driven by the couple's male escort.

Pitt - who was lingering nearby as he waited for Jolie - opened a door for her and said, "OK, that's enough guys." The 41-year-old star then put his hand up in an attempt to thwart having his picture taken.

Vicki Holt, general manager of D2 aero, said the couple arrived shortly before 5 p.m. Monday without Jolie's two adopted children and were given a lift to the car rental area.

Dean Lowery, a line service professional, said he walked up to service the single-engine aircraft and recognized Pitt and Jolie.

"Angelina was piloting the plane," he said. "I just said, 'I know who you are.'"

Holt said Jolie's student pilot's license was on file.

Despite their recognition, it wasn't until their IHOP appearance that cell phones began ringing and fans began showing up.

After breakfast, the high-profile couple sped off in the rented minivan and departed from the municipal airport a short time later.

Holt speculated that Lake Havasu City's small-town feel and tendency to let tourists go about their business is what brought them here.

"I think that's why they came here," said Holt. "So they could just be normal, everyday people."

Among the films Jolie appeared in were Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Gia, The Bone Collector, Mojave Moon and Girl, Interrupted, while Pitt - a Shawnee, Okla. native - was in Fight Club, Legends of the Fall, A River Runs Through It, Oceans Eleven, and The Devil's Own, among others.
