Brad & Angelina: NEW ORLEANS

Brad & Angelina: NEW ORLEANS

Brad Pitt announced the winners (New York city architects Andrew Kotchen and Matthew Berman, of the firm Workshop/APD) of his architectural design competition at a news conference in New Orleans earlier on today. Brad worked with Global Green USA in hopes of creating the environmentally friendly housing in a redevelopment project in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans, a neighborhood hard hit by Hurricane Katrina.

Brad shared this at the news conference: "I am appalled and embarrassed that residents still do not have the opportunity … to decide if they want to get back into their neighborhoods and recreate their communities… [But] I’m very, very excited about the result.  There are a lot of great ideas that came across the table."

Brad was accompanied by his family — Angelina Jolie, Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh (not pictured).  More pictures in the gallery!

Ivy #137….Brad’s movie Babel will be shown on Sept.9th Sat evening at 9:30PM at the Toronto International Film Festival. Expect Brad & maybe the family to be in Toronto before Sept.9. They might attend Bill Clintons birthday bash also in Torono that same night Sept. 9 & also at Matt Damon’s ONExONE fundraising party also in Toronto the next night Sept. 10th. So there you go. Hope that helps

# 145 | remember da truth - ITA. I’m ignoring the haters now. Sometimes though, they spit out so many misinformed views and present them as facts that it is truly mind boggling.

# 154 | ariel |Thanks!! It does help. I’ve been a bit behind in my bamzs news. : )Thank you so much for responding.

I have to shake my head sometimes at some of the posts. I don’t understand what Madonna’s daughter being cute translates into Zahara not being cute (#151) Ummm, there are a lot of cute children. Guess what there can be more than 1. Lourdes and Zahara are both adorable. So is my neighbor’s little kid, baby kingston, a little girl I saw downtown yesterday…The point is why put down the looks of one child just to pump up the other. That is ridiculous.Very adorable picture. I think the kids look gorgeous. Hope to see more family pictures

Gitane I believe these are the causes they support:Eradication of Poverty in AfricaCure for AIDS (because of Z’s situatuion)Wildlife Protection (Angie’s Project in Africa)Causes for OrphansRefugee IssuesGreen ProjectsThese are some of the ones I’m aware of. I like the way the go about their humanitarian work because they go to the field and actually see what they are spending their money on. Sometimes they put in money gradually as the projects progress which is a smart move compared to the fact that most of us give money to causes and we have no idea of how the money is being spent. They do not give only their money, they put in time and energy.

You’re right, Original JPF. People who will try to denigrate a noble effort to help simply because they don’t like who is doing it are not worth our notice.I just thought that others might get confused by them so I wanted to point out that it’s not what money he gives, or even the environmental aspects, but the fact that by putting a contest together and getting the right people to all work together, he has spearheaded the building of a dozen multi-family houses, several single family homes and even tied it into the landscape already there. That is remarkable — that is power and influence at work in a positive way. That’s why it’s not about a figure he’s donated to fund the contest, it’s what he can do beyond writing a check. I LOVE how Brad and Angie think about the big picture!! They never just write a check, but instead, they "teach the people HOW to fish", and truly make an impact.

# 158 | tabloidsthanks! i believe i read somewhere that angie also supports native american issues and child advocacy.is there a list of specific organizations they’re involved in? sorry to be greedy, but i like specifics.

AAAAAAAWWWWWW Z!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THAT LIL GIRL! SO HAPPY TO SO ALL OF THEM!BAMZS ROCKS!

I think Angelina will be in Toronto with Brad. I don’t think they’ll walk the red carpet together though.

# 163 | tabloids Isn’t there also a charity named after Maddox that Angelina started in Cambodia that helps fund projects like removing land mines and helping the environment there?

# 136 | COLD HARD MATH They really aren’t afro puffs. Her hair actually appears to be pretty fine in texture which is rather the norm in Ethiopia. I hope no one tries to convince her parents that the child needs special hair care because it’s assumed to be difficult because she’s black. Your post just made me think of something on another site where someone said about her needing this and that based on her having "afro puff type hair" and from what I can see from the pictures, her hair care shouldn’t require anymore than maybe some lubricant now and than such as baby oil and that’s it. jpf

I’m ignoring the haters now. Sometimes though, they spit out so many misinformed views and present them as facts that it is truly mind boggling. # 155 | stardust |I agree with you. They don’t want to know facts, they just want to spew ugly words. Sometimes I wonder what kind of people are these to only see ugliness in others. They don’t have to be fans but why the hate? I do know that Brad and Angie must be very strong people to go on and live their lives authentically, not caring about jealous or hate filled people spewing garbage about them. They inspire me in this way. Never be ashamed to walk your walk , people. Be true to yourselves because at the end of the day, that is all you have, your integrity. Sad to say that the haters will move on to someone else to hate.

Oh come on! When I left, we barely had 10 post and I come back to five pages. Meanwhile, the JA thread sitting there idle. Seriously ladies, we have to stop making things interesting…..this is what keeps ‘em coming back. Zee has got the diva look down pat…..looking her nose down at the papps, like "you people again?"

Great pictures of a great family. Thanks for posting them on your site (which I love).

# 161 | angelahis that for me? are those two of braddy’s?

Why is this woman not smiling when whe is with her kids? I mean, from these pictures it looks like kids are a load for her. She looks unhappy. Especially i don’t remember seing a happy picture of her with Zahara. And Shiloh is not in the pictures. Why? Is she protecting Shiloh from camers but not her other children? Or is it because she wants to create the impression that she cares for Zahara and Maddox as much?? Am I the only one thinking this way?

#164 ONE UNHCR

Woo hoo…I’m always so happy when I come and check JJ after work and I get new pics…they are the most beautiful family in the world…hands down

# 167 | stardust It’s the Maddox Jolie Project

I don’t know why but it is something about this family that I find so darn cute.
