OlderBrad & Angelina Love the Katrina Kids
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie listened to speakers discuss a study about children affected by Hurricane Katrina at Martin Luther King Jr. magnet school over the weekend in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Angie took to the podium and spoke briefly of seeing strife throughout the world, including in New Orleans, and how education is the key to healing.
According to NOLA, Jolie highlighted a recent visit to city schools in which children exalted in the opportunity to learn and do homework.
“The children here are feisty and fun and full of pride,” she said. “That is the spirit that is going to pull everybody through.”
The Children’s Health Fund and Regional Council are putting in place a set of prescriptions to ensure that the physical health, mental health, and educational needs of some 46,000 to 64,000 children displaced by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita are met as soon as possible.
20+ pictures inside of Brad & Angelina posing with the Katrina kids…

Love the smile, love the coat and love the purse. I want that purse.
A true fan will focus on the charity work that this couple do and find out how they can help or support them. Less fortunate people need our help at this time. Please ignore negative comments that can take away from this. God bless you as you do your part.
New thread. Thanks Jared.
They have big hearts.
Love them
ANGIE’S SKIN IS FLAWLESS
The best couple ever.

That’s ok ritzy, we know ken baker gives you a massive hard on. sweet dreams princess.
THIS IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL,I HOPE THEY HAVE MORE HELP IN THE EIR REBUILDING EFFORTS
Thank you Jared for the new thread and pictures. I admire them so much and appreciate all what they are doing for the people of NOLA and all over the world. They are truly remarkable people. So proud to be a fan of theirs.
Brad and Angie have found their purpose and calling in helping kids and the less fortunate people around the world. I wish them the very best as they go through life’s journey together.
I think it’s great Brad and Angie want to help the world become a better place..but let’s get real..Hurricane Katrina did not make a direct hit on New Orleans La..it made a direct hit on the Mississippi Gulf Coast..Biloxi, Bay St.louis, Pass Christian etc..
Why is it you never hear of “studies” being done on the children there?
STUDIES FOR WHAT? PRAY TELL..
why is it you never hear of special “medicine” funds (for lack of a better term) being set up for the children on Mississippi?
just asking..
PAPA PITT IS HOTTTTT

Brad and Angelina are very very very good parents , i think !!! and they’re to all kids nice
27,NOLA WAS MORE AFFECTED
What other Hollywood actress would go out in the world without make-up and hair styled? LOVE her to bits! Bless them both and the kids.
Access Hollywood’s Power Couples Of The Year
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (December 26, 2007) – Who tops Access Hollywood’s list of power couples?
Is it globetrotting Brad and Angelina? Proud parents to be – Marc and J. Lo? Or our very own glam couple from across the pond?
Here at Access, our top pair appeared in nearly 40 on air stories.
“We travel with our kids and we never want to separate our family,” Angelina Jolie told Access. “We’re parents first and then everything else falls into place.”
The sexiest couple of the year – Brad and Angelina!
For them, it’s all about family and this year Brad revealed their brood might get bigger.
“We’re always planning, but yeah we’d love to see a big family,” he told Access.
J. Lo and Marc Anthony’s family is growing too. Jennifer, who sits at number 2 with Marc, confirmed her pregnancy in November, after three-years of marriage.
Our third hot couple, Heidi and Seal, love to display their affection. The parents of three keep their romance alive.
One year after their wedding, couple number 4 — Tom and Katie, are clearly still in the honeymoon phase.
Tom and Katie traveled the world, with baby Suri in tow.
A big year for the Beckhams! Tom and Katie’s good friends moved stateside and conquered America, netting them our number 5.

The crowd at McDonalds were not that bad and were respectful when the BG camto move them back because of the kids. So right on NOLA. They really do love the Jolie Pitts.
SERA,YOU ARE RIGHT,I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT AWARDS SEASON,BUT THE WRITER’S STRIKE HAS ME WORRIED,BUT IF THE STRIKE GOES ON WE STILL HAVE 3 AWARDS SHOW TO LOOK FOWARD TO
cute.
Thank you jared! :mrgreen: . Angel, to answer you from the last thread, yes i’m still around, lurking mostly, lol. I love this family.
Hello everybody!!!
Thanks JJ for this new thread.
Keep up the good work Brad and Angie.
that video on tmz was disturbing i felt so bad for brad,angie and the kids. could not even watch the entire thing.
But it is also good what they in doing in NOLA
TMZ video - its clear the paps were following the JP SUV up to the drive through of McD. Then the paps must have gone inside to get pictures of Brad at the pickup window. They alerted the people inside. What I notice beside the hysterical teenagers is how the teens backed off when they realized there were children in the van. NO residents have great respect for Brad and Angie and I think the second half of the video shows that. The teens had moved back voluntarily before the guard got there. As B&A drove off a couple of the girls yelled out “We love you”. This reminds me of what happend in Toronto but with far fewer people. And I don’t think the Toronto crowd backed off as quickly as the NO teenagers.
A big step to the Oscar!!!!!

Maybe you have not heard about it because Brad and Angelina have not gone to those places to give it the attention it deserves. But if you had clicked on the link Jared provided you would see that the CHF has programs for kids in all those places

I love this girl. Thanks Jared. You spoil us.
GET REAL…Brad&Angie did not fail you ..YOUR GOVERNMENT FAILED YOU!! take it up w/ them..instead of writting a complaint on a blog maybe you should try writing to your congressman who are the ones that can really do something about this..
STUNNING…just STUNNING. There’s nothing more beautiful than someone with A mighty heart (no pun intended…well, maybe just a little)
A big hello to all the JP fans out there. I was on the last thread…THANK YOU ALL for all the seasons’ greetings. You guys are the best!!!
Was kinda surprised to see that even on Christmas day, the trolls were still out and about. I don’t know what I was expecting…after all they are trolls and that’s what they do but I thought since the. Grinch came around in the end, these ones might to…guess that was wishful thinking on my part, hun? Oh well…at least we had fun…come to think of it, maybe that’s what was eating at them. Lol…yeah, that’s it, when the trolls are out with their unhappy selves, JP fans just continue to have fun.
although the TMZ’s video was crazy,but that minivan was kinda cute,It was cute how Brad rode his family over there and how they were trying to do something normal with their kids.
Lovely!!
anustin @ 12/26/2007 at 4:06 pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
anustin, now that was so wrong:lol:lol:
See where are the Jay Z’s, Beyonce, Diddy, and all these other rappers and celebs to act like they do so much for their community…..Money is good to give but I want to see these people give their time. Rappers always talk about black pride and what they have but they dont go the distance to actually be there. Jay Z and B are always on vacay or at some rich event but they cant help their own people by giving time. I applaud Angelina and Brad because they dont have to do this, but because they have a good heart they will truely be blessed.
looking at the pictures above, you see pure joy on brad and angelina’s faces, they are so in their element when they are doing for others.it brings them happiness and i think it is just beautiful to see.
need sum sleep!
How long do I have to wait til Brad shows his hair? Is it a phase he’s going thru? For god’s sake, enough of that stupid hat already!!!!!! It’s getting way way too old whatever he’s trying to prove. Don’t you guys agree? And lately the way he dresses all the time with grey cap, grey shirt, grey scarf it makes me think when was the last time he’s taking a bath????????
They both dress the same, grey and black, make me so depressed!!!!!
Angie’s ring in her left hand is like a real wedding ring,not in her wedding finger though.
angie could run for public office and win
60,YOU SOUND DEPRESSED,just saying
How many freakin’ posts do we have to deal with in a week? And I agree with kn……she’s brainwashed him into her grey-black world. It IS depressing. And of course, we’re TROLLS if we don’t agree with people here.
You can totally tell they are in their element. Angie never smiles that bright on the red carpet. Here she just looks so sweet
Beautiful couple, inside and out. Thank you Jared.
kn @ 12/26/2007 at 4:23 pm
You are making yourself depressed with your hateful disposition. Dont blame brad or angie for your manic depression.
pagesix.com has the nola -mcdonals video too.
hah!brood might get bigger.lyk anjie must be pregnant!!!!! hahahaha
Hello BAMPZS Fans :-) Happy Holidays to everyone.
Thanks Jared for the new thread!!!
Brought over from previous thread.
Don’t normally vote on US surveys, but I did vote on this one. Well US is losing. 87% say it is okay to feed your children potato chips. Of course they won’t publish.
Secondly before we turn a group of teenagers at MacDonald into a raging throng, like in Toranto let’s take a collective breath. It was disturbing I am sure especially since the children were in the car. But if you listen there were teens telling the others to stand back and get out of the way. One girl inside refused to let that man into the space where she was so that he could take a picture. I saw two people on the hood of the car. But they quickly got off when one of the girls yelled to get off of the car. I don’t think this was an act of disrespect as when the paps get in their faces to take pictures for money. These were young people who were excited about seeing someone as famous as Brad and Angie. Was it the right thing to do? No. Of course not. Could someone have been injured? Possibly. But only if Brad had driven forward. Or if the group had become unruly. And of course neither of those things happened. I am not trying to make like of the situation. But I don’t think we should exacerbate it either. This wasn’t an angry group of people. These were for the most part, a group of teenagers happy to see someone famous.
You don’t have to agree with me. But in the words of the mayor of BAMPZS, if you don’t agree, let’s agree to disagree peacefully.
Also, let’s not make this into a who was hit the hardest by Katrina. We’ve had this discussion before. The entire gulf coast was hit hard. But in fairness New Orleans was hit the hardest, with the most displaced people of any place. As was said in previous discussions, people shouldn’t expect Brad and Angie to save or help everyone. Brad as said that if this works they will try to expand the project. To ensure that it works donate to the project or contact your government and ask why they haven’t done more to help the people of the gulf coast region. Peace

That’s why you TROLLS are one big morons b/c you claim you’re depressed looking at them and yet you’re all here blogging on their thread.
Horray to the #1 couple of the world.!!!!
We love you JOLIE-PITT.
Thank you JJ for the new threads.
duh! bonnie fuller reporting again bout vajenjens x-mas @ the senior pitt.teheheehe….maybe as a dish washer,wearing her attire from the movie “freaks with money.”ahehahehahe.cute!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hmmm… could the studies have been conducted on those children who were placed on buses, without their parents, and shipped to places they were not familiar with?
Or for those who bore witness to detestable conditions in ‘rescue centers’ like the Dome, where the dead were either left where they were or shoved into alcoves until weeks after the evacuees were bussed somewhere else?
Or maybe they witnessed their parents, the symbol of stability, lose it in the wake of the enormity of the devastation?
Sorry, but the children of NOLA certainly require more medical intervention than, say, Paris Hilton, when she had to face her month-long jail term.
anustin @ 12/26/2007 at 4:40 pm
hehehehe,I don’t know why they are so stupid,there was a picture of her in L.A with his husband.CC.so they don’t even check whether there is photo of her or not.
Brad Pitt should be the man of the year. He has done wonderful things for people in NOLA.

That was from the article Jared put up….but you are right, let’s all focus on what BP and AJ are wearing, that is soooooo like what is totally important right now…I mean like totally!!!
Oh and it’s unfair to blame their dressing for your psychiatric disorder when it’s as clear as day, that you’re just a depressing person (nice try though)
78,thanks for the page six video
angel @ 12/26/2007 at 3:37 pm 27,
NOLA WAS MORE AFFECTED
*************************************
Absolutely not true. I have a friend in Biloxi, Miss. and he reports the entire area from Biloxi west to New Orleans was devastated. Some of the worst devastation occurred in Pass Christian, Miss.

LMFAO Are you blind??? Where do you see depressing? I see two people who could not possibly look happier. Look at their big, bright smiles! And all the good they’re doing for NO….how could that be depressing?

How many freakin’ times do we have to say it — if you’re sick of this couple, GET THE HELL OFF THE THREAD! It ain’t rocket science, stupid.
testing
Come on people! You can look good while doing good!!!
Appearance is everything! I wish Angie could wear something different than black like a tan color pant with a printed top, camel coat and little kitten heel. Brad could wear a navy casual pant with a beige polo shirt and a distressed tan leather jacket. Ditch the hat and the scalf and you got a well-dressed super couple look good and doing good. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
They could have mixed it up a bit. Don’t tell me that they don’t care what they wear. They should hire me, I’m known at work as the most stylist fashion savvy!!!!!!!!!!!
Anonymous @ 12/26/2007 at 3:21 pm
Sambo, you keep shooting yourself in the foot. So far the poll says 86% in favor of giving a child Shiloh’s age potato chips.
BTW, was it you who posted the comment on that site about Shiloh the Bástard? Coming from a freak of nature like you, it wouldn’t surprise me a bit.
angelina is incredibly beautiful; look at that face it’s unbelievable how good loooking she is!
finest ass* in the free world @ 12/26/2007 at 4:46 pm
Yes Brad did. Brad is the man. I don’t think they felt threatened by the kids acting like typical teenagers do.

*Yawn*
So what??
Luv Angie’s purse. Anyone know what it is?
kn #90, i hope you are kidding. i don’t think the people benifiting from the deeds brad and angelina do care what they wear. i’m sure sweats would suffice. you are really reaching for something to post. you must be so bored.
“They should hire me, I’m known at work as the most stylist fashion savvy!!!!!!!!!!! ”
Uh-huh. And I bet your WORK is SO much more meaningful than the VOLUNTEER work B&A do.
Thank God B&A have their priorities straight. You could learn something from them.
god bless the jolie-pitts!
XD
This isn’t a fashion, award show or a premier. They both look very simple and classy to me. And most important, very appropriate.
Honestly, I will appreciate anyone who can stick to promoting that people should help with what’s going on in NOLA and not turn this thread into any other negative stuff. Guess who makes money out of drama? Tabloids. Have you seen them helping anyone? Ignore tabloids and drama and have fun helping others.
I have to admit I am not that much of a fashion person but I do love Angelina’s taste in coats and purses.
I don’t think Brad and Angelina give a **** Hurricane Katrina. They care more about publicity
NEW THREAD!!!
Aww sweet!
Brad should take his shades off for such an event.
I knew they would do some sort of charity event for Christmas. And surely the press would follow. How special of them to take time away from their own children to donate their time to those less fortunate. Are there reports of what gifts they gave all these children for Christmas?
Hopefully the next phase of rebuilding will be schools and place of worship for all the children there. Are the children in NO in school now? Has educating them come to a stand still since Hurricane Katrina hit? Surely the insurance companies have repaired the schools there by now. It has been 3 years. Anyone know for sure?
Jill,
well said could not have said it any better
if you are sick of brangelina then go somewhere else!!!!!!!!
#19: A true fan will leave well enough alone. Some will admire them for their beauty and charm, most will admire them for their works. Why can’t you just be a fan and let the others be? Is there a contest here?
hi everyone!! i was soo busy leading up to christmas, that i could not get around to wishing you all Happy Holidays. hope eveyone had a wonderful day yesterday, and i wish you all a Healthy and prosperous 2008.
Jared thank you so much for your blog, which is like an oasis in the desert of “celebrity blogs” for JPs fans. enjoy the rest of the holiday season, and all good things for you in the new year.
i hope we will get a glimpse of the JP clan soon, and i am sure they had an exciting and memorable christmas. can you imagine the fun in their house on xmas morning. the thought puts a smile on my face.
Its wonderful that they are saving the world but do they need to call the paps everytime they do something??
tessting
At least they’re doing good!

*****************
Get lost, loser.
Their efforts continue to help keep Katrina victims from being forgotten and remind us that New Orleans was home to many real people. Angie and Brad are so beautiful (inside and out)- their closeup shots are flawless and their features are so striking! You can’t help but be drawn to any photo they’re in.
anything for the cameras
I love Brangelina and although I am in my twenties, they could still adopt me anytime.
she’s glowing. gorgeous even without make up.
Thanks for all the threads on the jolie-Pitts Just Jared. It is good to see BP and AJ continue their various humanatarian projects in New Orleans. Happy Holidays to all.
She is very simple but her beauty stands out. Brad is handsome even with that unpopular hat ( I don’t mind), They both look happy with the kids. They are wonderful couple. My heart melts everytime I see them together. Ahhh.
People should appreciate the tireless effort of Brad & Ange to help the people of NOLA. I really admire them both, imagine putting almost 100 % of your time & energy to the cause of rebuilding the ninth ward in New Orleans & $ 5 million more of Brad’s own money to start the Make It right Foundation, that’s really very remarkable. I’m sure in a quiet way Ange helped out monetarily too. I salute you both. Well done so very proud to be your fan. May God continue to bless the Jolie-Pitt’s Family.
hi all !! hope you had a great christmas and still going to have a greater New Year’s Eve !!
To me Brad&Angie are generous and simple persons…they are so cute and natural on those pictures !! thanks Jared ;-)
the focus isn’t what is WORSE off than another region. it is a STUDY CASE…NOT a study case on which place is worse off. this NOLA region of focus that the jolie-pitts are shedding light to the nation is to SHOW EXAMPLE, NOT to prove which part of Katrina is worse off!
Show your support and self-education instead of negative ignorance by accusing those that are actually trying to spread awareness and actually making changes!
I hate that I can’t hate Angelina Jolie, she is so beautiful inside and out.
She looks so beautiful without make-up. It’s the beauty from inside.
They are both wonderful couple. Strange, that people always find anything to grumble about that couple. These negative people should change their mind set and start to do something meaningful.
All the blessings to Jolie-Pitts family!
God Bless them. We should learn from this couple. They know how to use their star power to help mankind. Hopefully…a lot more out there will step up to the plate.
God, keep blessing and watching over the Jolie-Pitt family.
I find this Christmas meal at Mcdonald’s odd since Mcdonalds here in Houston were closed Christmas day.
McDonald’s here was open as was most fast food stops and theatres. Try another complaint.
putting the giving back in Christmas; exceptional. these two are SO meant together.
tahnks JJ;)
LOVE THEM!!
GOD ALWAYS BLESS THE JOLIE-PITT FAMILY.
Love the purse! What brand is it?
Zaraha is so cutie ii want to adopt one just like that
