Brad Pitt Dell Commercial?

EXCELLENT POST! BRAVO!

It is simply amazing that Jill slams and insults someone for saying that Brad has a lot of makeup on in this photo. What is wrong with that comment? It’s not as if the poster has said something like “oh he’s a fcuking ugly dog” . It was just an observation and an opinion and blind Nelly can see that in that photo Brad has on a lot of makeup.

I think Jill’s new year’s resolution must be to become the nastiest fan on the Just Jared Brangelina threads. She has high standards you know. I think she is trying emulate her other heroes, Passing Through and the Real Tita….who in my opinion have the most acid tongues of all. You are fast catching up to them Jill. Good luck with your endeavour!

Pitt’s ‘Make It Right’ says enough raised for first 65 houses in Lower 9th

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Within the last month, Brad Pitt’s “Make It Right” project has raised enough money to build 65 homes in the hurricane-ravaged Lower 9th Ward.

The program on Monday announced it is nearing the halfway point in reaching its initial goal of raising sufficient funds for 150 affordable, environmentally friendly homes. The average construction cost is estimated at $150,000 per house. Hot pink tents have been erected to represent the homes.

Building is expected to begin this spring, with the goal of having some families back by the end of summer, a Make It Right spokeswoman, Virginia Miller, said.

The Lower 9th Ward has become a symbol of the destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 and the subsequent levee breaches. Just a fraction of the pre-storm population is estimated to be back.

“2008 is going to be crucial to demonstrate the resurgence of the community,” said Patricia Jones of the Lower 9th Ward Neighborhood Empowerment Network Association.

Work at the Make It Right project site will be part of that, she said, but the Lower 9 extends much farther, and activists hope to see more homeowners begin to rebuild as they receive funds through the state-run Road Home program.

Jones, whose rebuilding in the area herself, hopes to have at least one-third of the pre-storm households back by this time next year.

Miller said most of the donors through Make It Right’s Web site have been “average Americans who want to help.” In one week alone, after the project’s official launch Dec. 3, nearly $500,000 was raised just through the site, Miller said.

Miller said there also have been corporate and “high-profile” donors, including musician Jimmy Buffett.

Tom Darden, the group’s executive director, said there’s no timetable for raising the funds needed for the 150 homes. He added he’s not worried about raising it.

“It’s one thing to talk about this in theory, and it’s quite another when the first houses go up,” he said. “I think that will inspire a lot of people who want to see real families move into real houses.”

Thank you so much for this info.

Brad has been tireless in his efforts to promote MIR, he is devoted to this project, MIR is not some whim that he gave a minute’s thought to and then walked away from, no Brad talked the talk and walked the walk. Angelina has supported him all the way just as he supports her endeavors. They are united in a powerful parternership.

What a joy it will be for people to be able to return home after YEARS of being displaced from their homes by circumstances not their fault and to be able to rebuild their community.

Thank you Brad (and Angelina) for not forgetting NOLA and for being the truly goodhearted people that you are.

Brad Pitt is Redefined and Donates Money to the Red Campaign

I’ve just decided that from here on out, the name Brad Pitt will also be used as a verb, meaning: to do an act of kindness and/or extreme selflessness resulting in general goodwill for all of mankind. Let’s try it out. “Oh yeah I saw this homeless guy on the street the other day and I totally did a Brad Pitt and gave him my sandwich.” Or, “One might say that Mother Teresa Brad Pitted herself a spot into heaven-typical!” Hmm…maybe?

I only bring this up because HE’S DONE IT AGAIN!! The rumor on the street is that Brad Pitt (the man, not the verb) will be shooting a Dell commercial set to premier at the 2008 Super Bowl and then just handing over the dough to Bono’s Red Campaign. The Red Campaign supports The Global Fund, which helps women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa.

Dude, you’re talented, you’re rich, the ladies love you, and now you’re a humanitarian god. Save some for the rest of us! Oh well, it looks like I’m just gonna have to Brad Pitt my way into popularity.
