Brad Pitt @ Clinton Global Initiative
Brad Pitt speaks before a panel discussion on energy and climate change during the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting Wednesday in New York City. The conference is focused on finding ways to solve some of the world’s most pressing problems including poverty and climate change.
According to People, Brad is partnering with billionaire Steve Bing on the “Make it Right” program, which plans to build 150 affordable – and environmentally sustainable – homes in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward. Brad and Bing have each promised to match donations pledged during the initiative up to $5 million.
FYI: It costs $15,000 per person to take part in the panel discussions and smaller working sessions at the CGI. $15K!!!!! I hope it all goes to charity…

thanks for information,so I will rely on her.
HI guys. Wow. Gooooooo Brad. Fighting the good fight. I wish I heard the speech.
to 79 joke of the day
LMAO!! The best so far!
I’ll post again what I put on the other thread, in case you fans are interested in the CGI:
The CGI is very interesting! I haven’t followed it the previous years, so I don’t know if the themes are more or less the same, but this year’s are very good. For those among us interested in public health there’s a very good panel on expanding the access to vaccines. And the one about education and the most vulnerable kids is very interesting. Well…of course these topics are for those with brains, and not to people who go to internet just to bash people they are envy of. Hope you fans enjoy the subjects.
i love him more!!! Go Brad!
Is Angie speaking now? I went to the the site, but it doesn’t seem to be playing yet. Can someone help me please? Or tell me what else I should do? Peace

I agree with people who said why we are talking about their influence in each other?they are together and that`s what is important most but I will say I appreciate your post and every one in this round world has her own opinion and people should respect it.
Jordan,
I love good and healthy argument.
It is nice to share one’ own opinion, agree?

jordan - NY Lurker is a wonderful fan who has been here for quite a while - just doesn’t post that often.
Thanks Coal….Yes, I’ve been here for quite a while, but like Coal said, I rarely post (I have a hectic job). But today, I slightly change my schedule just so that I can watch the Clinton Global Initiative live….And for the record (which I stated before in the previous thread)….The CEO of the Clinton Global Initiative (who is responsible for this event right now) is the chairman of the board of my organization - where I work (it’s one of the oldest non profit organization here in NYC - providing service to the poor NYorkers - young and old - and I am one of the Executive administrators…..
Later…..

ITA with you!!! But I guess these people bashing Angelina pretending to be Brad’s fans, and those bashing Brad pretending to be Angelina fans are just haters trying to create confusion and quarrels.

Jordan,
I do agree in some sense.
Brad was there for her in her everyday life and share moments and lessen her pain. And also Brad is a dad to children.
However, her life was pretty stable after she separated from BBT (she was actually changing and became more stable person after she adopted Mad and involved in her UN work).
You should compare her after BBT days and now. I think her life after BBT (late 2002 to 2004) was more stable than now.
Well I think it is good for Angie to have Brad to do things together and to share. But since we are talking about influence, I do not think much of Brad’ influence. He is a good person and funy person, but did not really helped Angie’ image. However, Angie changed Brad’ image - you can say she bulit it and changed people’ perception on Brad by praising him all the time.
I think Brad is pretty smart guy and a real Zen master but his god personality/side was exposed by Angie and even not by himself.
———————————————–
I will say again , I am amazed how some of Angie fans act like Brad all of a sudden woke up and decided to help. Brad has always given , but not in a public way. When Brad met Angie he used the attention that was put on him and turned on things that needed the focus. Angie has said Brad is more quiet in his way, look even today he gives his speech and that is it, he did not hold a press conference to announce “make it right” he told the peeps who could help. As for Angie’s image took a turn for the better after she divorced Billy Bob and adopted Maddox and started working for the un. However, Angie never got as much attention until she got together with Brad, she was not in such a big spotlight. So if peeps were fair, Brad is a big reason for such a spotlight, now as soon as she does something it is instantly reported and goes around the world immediately. That never happen before Brad. Fair is Fair.

I agree with you,they are trying to begin fight between jolie-pitt`s fan.
INSTRUCTIONS TO TURNING OFF THE CAPS LOCK KEY:
1. LOOK FOR A BUTTON ON YOUR KEY BOARD WITH THE WORDS CAP LOCKED.
2. PUSH IT ONCE.

OK go to this link, anything in red that says “live now” is on and click to watch it.
Angie will be on the 5:30 session and it will say “live now” right before it starts. Good luck :-)
Brad and Angie make each other better, better, better (singing hahah)
Yes, how sweet is is to love Angelina and Brad who love each other passionately and unconditionally, and this love shows in everything they do…and I mean, everything!
Some troll up thread was saying that maybe they didn’t make any money at the Hampton fund raiser and that is why Brad donated $5M. He donated because he said in No that he was going to donate more money. You don’t have to announce how much money was collected in the Hamptons. There were 70 people there and to attend you were asked to donate 2,500.00 dollars. Do the math. Some might have given more. But I doubt if anyone gave less.

yes I want to disagree with her in those part,If you read Angie`s interview,she even said that when she met brad she found very caring man who was quite in his way and with that I understand brad was doing this work before Angie,AS angie was doing before him too.but now together they are making their power more but putting their efforts and power together.
Thanks Jared for the new thread.
I can see some are still trying to pit Angie and Brad fans against each other.
It’s sad that some want to undermind one or the other. But mostly Angie in my opinion. Just be happy Angie and Brad are trying to do their part in trying to make the world a better place. All any of us can do is do our part.
