Angelina Jolie is a Celebrity Do-Gooder

Totally a well deserved accolade.

Cheers Angelina and Brad! :)

I just caught up with all the threads I missed since before Christmas.
Wow Jared! You certainly keep up to date!
Thanks.
Very grateful.
Awesome pics and articles.

So in the spirit of this thread I would like to remind those charitable fans (and haters/trolls - c’mon, i bet it’ll hardly pinch your pockets) to please donate to Brad’s worthy cause:

For those who are eagerly awaiting the availability of the absolutely must-have pink tote bag, it will soon be available by the first week of January ‘08!

What’s even more amazing about that tote bag? It will be made out of the material that they used for the current pink exhibit. Check out their website to learn more.

Good day to all!

Peace!

fattou9aaa!!!!

It is quite funny how you guys judge people you don’t know, jen does not need to justify her actions or her work to any of you guys, what is the point of this list really bcos i just don’t get it, many people give , jen as been an advocate for st jude’s for over 7years now and her campaining with other celebrities has raised millions of money but you all would never say that bcos it is less worthy trust me it isn’t bcos

I have seen cancer fiRst hand(AFFECTS PEOPLE FROM THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES TOO) and they come to st jude’s bcos of the finances that are raised by people like jen and other people whom support)and i know what it does, and you guys can hate jen despise her call her names but never lie bcos it makes you all look stupid.

Jen is stingy blah blah it is getting sad now , leave her alone and let her be and stop calling her names or other people for that matter it is childish and ignorant, and if the people whom wrote this article really cared why don’t they use the money for better things or writing about the plight of the poor , this article will not add or subtract from the lives of those whom need helping it won’t.
I hope people keep on giving in any way they can bcos a life is changed by every little that is done and everyone deserves to be acknowledged.
Sorry for my ranting but hte truth neeeds to be told and most of you pick on jen just to cause trouble.

Some of you are just amazingly DENSE!

You NEVER miss to jump on any NONSENSICAL few
words of a few morons that basically waste their time ANYWAYS.

Then YOU start to talk about that HOMELY, FUGLY FRAUD and
LIAR and a LOSER of the century that is Maniston. WHO the
he*ll cares but YOU! NOBODY but YOU!

GOT IT?!

REMEMBER!
That’s NORMAL and it ALWAYS happens when somebody is at
the TOP as Angie is.

You even bring that TRASHY email over here!

Now we just NEED from you to bring some HATING on
Brad Pitt over here - that shouldn’t be difficult to find.

Go ahead! And don’t forget to mention the shells of their exes!

The poll by humanitarian Web site Reuters AlertNet (www.alertnet.org), which surveyed 606 people from Dec. 7 to 19,

Congratulations to Ange & Brad. They deserves the recognitions, they are truly remarkable actors & good examples to others. I salute both of you. May God continue to bless the Jolie-Pitt’s Family.

gee, that was a no brainer. like her or not, angie is serious about philanthropy. madge, not so much. they should rename their poll “people aren’t as stupid as Madonna’s P.R. staff thinks”.

Angelina has been philanthropic and a humanitarian for a good while now. It’s not news but this is great for people who are cluless about her works.

Can you all see why Brad was smitten by Angelina? Compared to her, that other one he was with was like a sad sack of potatoes.
