OlderAngelina Jolie is a Celebrity Do-Gooder
Angelina Jolie recently topped Reuters’ celebrity do-gooder poll for both her work as a U.N. goodwill ambassador and raising awareness of suffering in Africa.
On the bottom of the list? Fellow adoptive mother Madonna! The Queen of Pop was voted the least respected celebrity altruist of 2007 because of claims she used her fame and wealth to circumvent Malawian adoption rules.
“People aren’t stupid,” said Peter Walker, director of the Feinstein International Famine Center at Tufts University. “They can really sense when it’s just an endorsement and when somebody really means it. Someone like Angelina Jolie comes across as having more integrity than some celebrities and a greater sense that she doesn’t just do this for the publicity.”
One voter in the poll hurled quite the insult: “Madonna seems to do philanthropy the way she’s done Indian culture, sex and just about everything — like a disposable fad.”
Ouch!
Brad Pitt, Mia Farrow and Don Cheadle also won praise for their advocacy on behalf of Sudan’s war-torn Darfur region.

Yes, Aniston supported certain charities. But SUPPORT does NOT EQUAL TO GIVING MONEY.
It’s the CASH given out and TIME that we are saying that Jen is NOT giving back, considering she has 110 million sitting in the bank.
# 113 sara the fan @ 12/28/2007 at 1:29 pm and another thing,why when we have a nice article about Angie and Brad,haters and so called fans go crazy.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We don’t know, why don’t you tell us since you are one of this so called fans.
Can someone tell me for people who lived in Europe,how can they donate to MIR’s project.
Every celebrity supported many charities.
But did Jen give an CASH DONATION?
There is a DIFFERENCE between support and ACTUAL GIVING.

hehehe now I’m one of so called fan??? :lol: :lol:
Think about it @ 12/28/2007 at 1:46 pm I understand why people beiieve that Madonna does things for publicity BUT let’s not forget that she has raised 2 kids with a lot of integrity and they seem to be well-raised, therefore one shouldn’t be quick to judge her as a “false philanthropist”, she’s improved the boys life and I’m sure she can raise him well too.

I think Madonna is sincere in her charity.
hmmm at least Madonna tries to keep her malawi orphan out of the publicity photos. And she has built an orphanage school hospital in malawi right? That sounds pretty invested in helping and giving back.
Angie and Brad only try to keep white Shiloh out of the paparrazzi photos.
Proof is in the photos.

why pushing Charity to someone who publicity told CHARITY IS NOT FOR HER.so even If you want her to do charity so badly,your idol doesn’t want to do it.since according to herself.SHE IS NOT GOING TO SAVE THE WORLD.

I think its too early to tell.
Compared to (the history of) the British Empire, the USA is still an infant.
I think we are still, to this day- to some extent- , trying to define the meaning of democracy and to how far it can reach or if it is even right for all in the world.

# 134 i don’t agree @ 12/28/2007 at 1:58 pm

You’re an idiot. Now quick go and change your name again and agree with youself.
Madonna should remember that charity begins at home and for Christ’s sake, get Lourde’s eyebrows WAXED. Never have seen such a scary sight. What is with all the hatred toward George Clooney? Enough with Maniston. She is not worth discussing here…. total has been.
hiya you dum dum i spelled an speak well your inzsult wont make mme think different you flea.
Leave Ansiton alone. She doesn’t do anything by herself. Not even fun things. She doesn’t merit a comparison to Madonna, Ashley Judd or Angelina Jolie. Three strong will woman who stand up for themselves and others.
Stop it already.
tell dita von teese to hide her fug face and washed she’s a ,,hoe skan.k
MF, I received your ecard . I sent you a Thank You ecard.
bug @ 12/28/2007 at 2:01 pm
Are you joking? :lol: I feel for you.yeah forgive me you are best in English.
dita haaaaaaaaaaaaaha, lourdes could have ten eyebows plastered on her face and look better than the i need 10 blood tranfusion cootchie hor.e.
Are you people really comparing people’s charity work? Why?
Charity is supposed to be done for the sake of doing it, not for the praise or recognition or made up list it gets you on. Get a clue.
Thanks jared! a new thread.i’m so proud of Angelina.Blessings to the jolie pitts.no wonder Brad fell in love with Angie.she is beautiful inside and out.
hiya is an annt,jealous of me the bug.
to Madonna:
Are you trying to tell me that Lourdes DOES NOT have 10 eyebrows plastered in between her 2? I think she is a pretty kid ruined by those eyebrows! You don’t think she gets ridiculed for that? Eyebrows- there should be 2!
