Angelina Jolie’s National Guard Salute

Angelina Jolie and 6-year-old son Maddox talk with a member of the National Guard during a news conference in New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward on Monday

Angie attended the news conference where partner Brad Pitt announced his latest “Make It Right” project to build affordable, environmentally friendly homes in the area devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

Brad has pledged $5 million of his own money toward the project and is asking for donations from church groups to corporations to “adopt a house” for $150,000 each.

40+ pictures inside of Brad & Angelina at the press conference…

Affordable Housing?????He said each one costs 150,000. That doesn’t sound too affordable to me.

Maddox is going to give a run for his Daddy’s title of sexiest man alive. Can’t believe he is so big and tall already

Awww Angie and Mad are just so adorable. Love Mad’s cute smile and Angie is as beautiful as ever!

Love Angie’s coat, man that woman knows how to dress.

Thanks Jared for the new thread.

wowwwwwwwwwww @ 12/03/2007 at 3:39 pm

OH HELENA GO AND KISS ZANESSA`S ASS.CRAZY.

THANKS JJ FOR NEW PICS,ANGIE IS THERE TO SUPPORT HER MAN,GOD BLESS THEIR SOUL.

Hands down. Angelina has the best coat collection in Hollywood. Beautiful and tailored, but more importantly wonderful stuff from Brad and Angelina today.

Affordable Housing?????He said each one costs 150,000. That doesn’t sound too affordable to me.
——its affordable compaired to a lot of houses thats actually an extremely low price for 2008

African Girl @ 12/03/2007 at 3:40 pm

Oy Jared, we are burdened with an overabundance of JP news….not complaining mind you, just saying this is how it should be…Lol (and this is where I get stones and rotten tomatoes thrown at me by the you know whos)

OH HELENA GO AND KISS ZANESSA`S ASS.CRAZY.

First off:
1) Learn how to take of the caps lock, you idiot.
2) I don’t like Vaneslut or anything to do with High School Shittical, really.
3) I like real actors.
4) I just simply said she looked drunk in the picture as a joke. Hostile, much?

quiet no more @ 12/03/2007 at 3:41 pm

so cute!

in CA a house for 150,000 is impossible to find…

really Helena is Zanessa`s fan???!!! :lol: That`s enough for me not to answer to this kid.hehehe

MAKE IT RIGHT BRAD…GIVE UP YOUR PRIVATE JETS AND HELICOPTERS AND SUVS. STOP GLOBAL WARMING AND DESTRUCTION THAT IT CAUSES.

Jennilynn @ 12/03/2007 at 3:42 pm

Yeah, price may be low in Malibu….But not the 9th ward of New Orleans…..

A.maz.ing!!!

Awww…she looks beautiful.

A natural beauty with a radiant, infectious smile.

I’m trying to catch up with the past two threads, but Missouri Fan thanks for the rose!

Thanks jared for this lovely picture of angie and maddox .also thanks for thread.

Helena @ 12/03/2007 at 3:41 pm

2) I don’t like Vaneslut or anything to do with High School Shittical, really

LOL. Helena you are going to make a lot of Zanessa fans very angry with your namecalling.

usually people who aren`t doing anything but critizing people who are making difference makes me sick.

people show us what did you do for NO`s people before opening your mouth complaining.

quiet no more @ 12/03/2007 at 3:41 pm so cute!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In Southern Virginia Townhomes start at $200,000. You couldn’t find a new single family home for $150,000.

Angie went to support her man.

the real tita @ 12/03/2007 at 3:47 pm

#10: Here in Cali, the lowest home you’ll find is $350,000. Besides, that is why he is asking for donations…to offset some of the costs so the new homeowners won’t have to shoulder the whole amount. Do you read English or do you just have this difficulty in reading comprehension?

There’s no shame in asking somebody to explain it to you before you go off on a tangent. Ignorance can be remedied you know, by asking.

Jennilynn @ 12/03/2007 at 3:42 pm Yeah, price may be low in Malibu….But not the 9th ward of New Orleans…..

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It cost money to bill a house, you can’t give it away. Part of his program is low interest loans to make the payments affordable.

new again?thank for the heads up.

Thanks JJ for adding new pics,you are the best.

THINK POSITIVE! @ 12/03/2007 at 3:50 pm

Thank you Jared for the new thread. It’s so nice to see the whole family supporting dad on his work. They look so proud of him. I wish them the best.

Angie looks like a little girl in the pictures. So young and beautiful A and Brad looks so disturbingly HOT!! LOL!!

They can’t live long distance to each other.

i bet that the national guardsman was in shock to see angelina,and to get to talk to her.

I am on first page yippy BAMZSP rock

Latter-blum.com

Homes for sale in New Orleans.

lolz @larry kings face!

How many of you have purchased his t-shirt. I ordered a few for the men in my life and of course one for me to sleep in.

Today Helen Thomas was awarded the AARP Inspire Award so to honor my dear friend, I donated to the Make It Right Foundation.

Brad looks so hot there just like Angie.

They are such a cute family–hope they had a great Thanksgiving! These children will likely grow up to be wonderful ambassadors themselves.

I’m commenting from Australia so I don’t know much about your house prices, but you would expect to pay slightly more for an environmentally friendly house, & isn’t that what Brad is on about? Residents will reap the benefits for years to come, that ‘cheap’ housing won’t deliver even once!!!

Thanks Jared!!!!

They are such a great team together I love it :lol:

Hiya BAMPZS Fans!!!

#21: He’ll probably get rid of his jets and expensive cars as soon as you great critics get rid of your transport or bus pass. Can you walk to your every destination, do you think?

Make a proposition on how stars can save energy as they go from shoot to shoot. I’m sure they are waiting with bated breath for your ideas. Oh, and make sure you practice what you preach. Gotta lead by example you know.

IN TORONTO, BRAD TOLD US THAT YOU ARE HIS LOVE, HIS PARTNER AND THE MOTHER OF HIS CHILDREN. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE HIM?
CAN I STEAL HIS (LAUGHING)? I’D SAY HE’S MY LOVE, MY DEAREST FRIEND AND—THE FATHER OF MY CHILDREN.

Damn that’s a recruitment poster if I ever saw one!!!LOL!!!! Join the National Guard and meet Angelina!!! Most of the time a celebrity will use a charity to promote themselves. They don’t really stick with something. Katrina happened two years ago. Most people, including George Bush, have “moved on” & they are leaving the people of NOLA behind. But Brad saw an opportunity not only to help out, but to stay for the long haul and really make a difference. The opportunity he saw was to develop some environmentally friendly housing. It will lower utility bills and really help make things better. He is only one man. As rich as he is, he doesn’t have the kind of deep pockets the government or some foundations have. I think people should get behind this and make it work. I am going to donate to help build a house. That is what I am getting my brother for Christmas.

I think Brad and Angie are doing wonderful things in NO. Brad’s a new man because of his relationship with Angie. I’m so proud of him.

bampzs #1 @ 12/03/2007 at 3:55 pm

Thank you JJ for new threads,
Love to Angie and Maddox.

does anyone one know if larrry king is going to help with donations?

Make it Right is going to offer low cost loans, as well.

NewOrlgirl @ 12/03/2007 at 3:56 pm

I hope Oprah will contribute a little of her billion dollars to this good cause. Has she ever been down here check on these displaced black folks.

If people would actually listen and read, you would know that Make it Right has a financial plan in place to assist families that may default on the house payments.

But I forget, it’s easier to be destructive than constructive …

vickifromtexas @ 12/03/2007 at 3:58 pm

a lot of news today about the jolie-pitts. i love it. they are so supportive of one another it is a great thing to see.

Can anyone find Angie in that partcula full of people`s pic? :lol:

just kidding,keep up fans.bye.

I am so proud of brad and angie they go all out to help people less fortunate.they make such a good family.they seem to think alike,both wanting to help.they are such beautiful people.

I love how they seem unable to be without each other for any length of time. They just seem so committed to each other and their family. Love them.

the real tita @ 12/03/2007 at 4:04 pm

#55: If Oprah can’t put her name to it like good old Trump-oline, then she’s not gonna be interested. A person who won’t let another person grace the cover of her magazine is not the kind who will fork over her hard-earned dough to the competition. Like in movies, it’s all about billing.

This is why they will make it, they are always there for each other.

Thanks Jared. :D
Supporting Daddy 100% :). These two CANNOT be away from each other or their kids for more than 3 days every year! :D I swear, they make me believe in true, forever love.
This family is the best.

========================

You can probably buy a house for $150,000 and below, but to build a house from scratch, $150,000 nowadays would be the bare minimum an individual could buy a new house for. Not to mention if these houses are to be environmentally viable then that would automatically add on to cost of building them. It’s not cheap, that’s for sure.

Does that mean last time when Pitt was there,Jolie was not in NO because If she was,she would attend the Press conference??? :roll:

HI BAMPZS,love the jolie pitts

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS, JJ, for new pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol :)

To a fan - Angie was there since Pitt said that he toured the site with his family privately.

Jennilynn @ 12/03/2007 at 3:38 pm
*******************************
LOL!!! You couldn’t buy a shack for $150,000 where I live in Calif. Actually….I think I saw a shack in the woods in a real estate magazine going for $500,000. So, where I come from $150,000 is very, very, very affordable.

Thanks Jared for the new thread. Love all the photos!!! Please keep them coming. You’re the greatest!

Saw Brad on the Today show and all I can say is that Angie is a very lucky woman. They both are. I don’t care what any negative person has to say about this couple, they make a perfect match. They bring out the best in each other and I just love watching them grow together.

I so admire them………….work so tirelessly….

The blue stone is for which one of her kids??

a fan @ 12/03/2007 at 4:08 pm

You people are so pathetic… :lol:

She was there. Not only Brad told it, but Angelina and Mad were seen buying ice cream.

Angelina was probably to tired … If you remember she had been working all week untill untill 3, 4 in the morning in Wanted.

They always make me feel so warm about this world, among all those coldness and cruelty.

Thanks for the photos!!!

LOL - I dont think Larry King knows where he is! hahahaha

his publicsist prob told him they were taking him to get pancakes and next thing he knows hes in middle of pink tents….

hes like wtf am i? who am I?

Mad is such a lucky kid, to be taken care by such an amazing lady。 He has great model to look up too.

LOVE ANGIE!

SHE has the BEST coat collection!!!

I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE HER STYLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brad and Angelina are so down to earth

AJCrazy @ 12/03/2007 at 4:20 pm LOVE ANGIE!

_____________________________________

Hi and Agree, but Brad has always been a great humanitarian!!!!

But youll have to forget his “dark-years” when his X, who doesnt like doing that stuff since it interferred with her sunbathing, hair apppts and workouts!!

so Brad got a lil sidtracked via all the superficial-negativity coming from a sloppy-pathetic, insecure, fame-***** loser ex-wife.

congrats to brad and all who work in the project,for it being green lighted

67- Hey Angel. :)

Ok, I haven’t commented on it all weekend, but Angie looks gorgeous without makeup. She’s stunning in these pics, and Brad is sexy as hell. Maddox is just too precious for words, he’s gonna be a heart breaker when he gets older.
I guess it’s safe to assume that Angie’s done filming? It seems from an earlier article that they’re in New Orleans for the holidays.

What’s next? Let’s see… the Golden Globes nominations (great feeling about those for both of them), Brad’s birthday, and Christmas. Yep, all good stuff! It’s great to be a Jolie-Pitt fan. :)

come on Jennifer @ 12/03/2007 at 4:28 pm

that’s not nice

Q @ 12/03/2007 at 4:13 pm The blue stone is for which one of her kids??

___________________________________________________

I think it is a stone for Pax birthday,but I`m not sure,some fans here are more informed about it.

oops brought up X in this GREAT Post my bad sorry ….forgive….:(

LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it postive!!! sorry

anjie is talking to LARRY KINGKONG? PIX#13.

~*~Get Real~*~ @ 12/03/2007 at 4:30 pm

i just hope they give these houses to people with good heads on their shoulders. i’ve lived in new orleans for 30 years and the most aggravating thing to see is all this money spent on building new houses for “low income families” and in a year are two they are all TRASHED!!! hate it. and you CAN NOT buy a house down here for 150,000, not since katrina. IF, and thats a big IF, you find one, its COMPLETELY GUTTED or just the trashiest thing ever not worth 50,000.

ANYWAY…ONTO HAPPIER THINGS…

Angie looks soooo happy! And its nice to see maddy out and about again. seems like forever.

Now , I finally have to admit: I LOVE THEM

Okay, I’m ready to get flammed, but my question is, why isn’t Maddox in school??? I’m sorry, but seriously, children are NOT accessories like handbags and shoes.

But the cause is good and Brad is trying to keep attention on the disaster of New Orleans and try to bring back a city that the Bush Administration abandoned.

hi felinelily,i had not commented the whole weekend either,i hope everything is going good as a fan am so proud

Yesssss!!! @ 12/03/2007 at 4:32 pm

really I was waiting for this question. :lol: you know what I find funny,some people are so predictable like hater`s here.but I`m still waiting for more questions like where are other kids?or where is Shiloh? hahahahaha

and sorry Stefanie!!!do you know when they went to pressconference,Angie could pick up Mad from school and then both go to pressconference.Are you sure they were there from the morning.

is that larry king from CNN?

96- Angel:
Are you kidding? I was in a great mood already after Brad’s interview, and now we learn that Angie was there supporting her man, AND brought their darling son to watch his daddy in action! He’s old enough to know what Daddy’s doing. I’m floating on air right now. I LOVE THIS FAMILY!!! :D To answer you’re question, yep, everything is fine.

maddox just e-mailed me and told me, he is not going to attend school today b/c he was exempted for the test.i hope it’ll help u why his with papa and moomma.

Yay i heart this family, Jolie-Pitt fan forever!!!

yo feline!!!ur such a very good girl today.

After Brad’s divorce he became a man.
Now, he’s on the right road.

LOVE ANGELINA @ 12/03/2007 at 4:48 pm

Thanks Jared for the pictures. Angelina, Brad, and Maddox look adorable.

anustin @ 12/03/2007 at 4:42 pm

:lol: best answer.say hello to him. :lol:

this is important issue that should be in the news,but am sure the stupid entertainment news will focus on other less important issues

Maybe that’s just how he looks when concentrating but Larry King looks terribly confused. Poor man …

Love Angie’s coat, love, love. If I could get into her closet, I’d head straight for the coats and handbags.

And how sweet is it to see her and Mad supporting Brad? Love it!

And could she be any more flawless without makeup?

Love the JPs!

good people but... @ 12/03/2007 at 4:56 pm

They both look like crap. Angelina obviously needs some lbs and brad looks so old.

Larry king just looks weird!

old,skinny, and etc they are still the best looking HW`s couple.god why can`t you stop complaining about anythings??

Angie is in the same weight she was before,you are not her fan sso you don`t know.

Brad in afew days will be 44,he shouldn`t look like 23.

NOLA home costs greater @ 12/03/2007 at 5:01 pm

Home costs have skyrocketed in NOLA, $150,000 is actually on the low side. So many homes were damaged or destroyed, labor and material are in short supply and now home costs are much higher than before Katrina.

Did you guys notice that both Angelina and Brad are wearing rings on their right hand ring fingers? Does that symbolize anything, you think?

mad look lyk anjie now,a little bet of papa pitt.

rings @ 12/03/2007 at 5:02 pm
