Fussy Eye: big security

June 20, Wed.

Santa Monica

Giorgio Baldi

As Angelina emerged from Giorgio Baldi, note the following:

There was someone posted by reception / valet parking at the entrance

Note the well-lighted entrance to Baldi

The lights on the sidewalk, the awnings, and the buildings in the background, and the cars parked on the street in front of Baldi as she approached her SUV.

Note the lights on the buildings across the street.

When The Weeknd came out, the man by reception / valet parking was no longer there. The area around the entrance is considerably darker.

Items that were on the table previously are also no longer there

The sidewalk, the awnings, and the entrance to Baldi itself are all darker.

There are many vacant parking spaces in front of the now dark restaurant.

The street is much darker .

The buildings across the street no longer reflect much light.

The Weeknd left Giorgio Baldi much later in the evening -- not moments after Angelina. He did not follow her out, he followed everyone else in the restaurant out. He appears to have left after the restaurant closed.

Paps and tabs have often been caught playing fast and loose with dates, times, and places as they concoct clickbait (Hello, New York). The lowest bottom feeders among them even attempted to photoshop images together -- harder to do with video. This always came across as a very desperate stretch.

Given that The Weeknd did not leave the restaurant until what appears to be several hours after Angelina, there is no proof that they were actually at Baldi's at the same time.

People has a post that is not co-written by Mary Green and does not appear to have a legitimate source. It notably has no information on the evening other than the doubtful claims by the paps and what can be seen in the photos. The Ethiopian connection may be simple deduction from The Weeknd's donation. Girogio Baldi is a very popular restaurant and at any given time, there is a strong likelihood it will have patrons they know but are not dining with. "Spotted" (per the paps), "photographed leaving" and "have known" is not confirmation that they had dinner together. It shows People had no source that could give them any info but put out a report to kill other tabs' desperate efforts anyway.

They probably had a good laugh over this. Probably as much as Andra Day, Jonny, and all the others that came before them.

Angelina Jolie and The Weeknd were spotted having a friendly night out in Los Angeles.

The two stars were photographed leaving the celebrity hotspot Giorgio Baldi on Wednesday night.

Jolie covered up in a trench coat and a black face mask as she stepped out, followed separately by the singer. The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, wore a black T-shirt with blue jeans and a matching jean jacket.

The Oscar-winning actress, 46, and the Grammy winner, 31, have known each other for some time and share a connection to Ethiopia, PEOPLE has learned.

In April, the singer announced he had partnered with the World Food Program US and was donating $1 million to relief efforts in Ethiopia where there is unrest between the government in Addis Ababa and the Tigray region.

The Weeknd has also begun venturing into acting, having played a role in Adam Sandler's Uncut Gems and co-writing an episode of American Dad last year. The singer is set to produce, co-write and star in a new HBO drama series The Idol.

In 2005, Jolie adopted her daughter Zahara, 16, from Ethiopia and has since launched The Zahara Program, which helps girls in the East African country.
