Ellen Makes It Right With Brad Pitt
Daytime talk show queen Ellen DeGeneres is teaming up with Brad Pitt to continue his efforts in helping to re-build devastated parts of New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina.
Ellen made an initial donation and has asked her viewers to join her in supporting the cause. You have the ability to contribute cash or adopt a part of the house. How cool is that!
Team Ellen has already raised $169,838 and far surpasses any of the other team-sponsored homes.

A tibbit the press never reports. Brab & Angelina are suspected of paying for locals funerals, moving, rentals, clothes expenses etc. When asked where the the funds come from, locals were told ‘a private donor’ is putting up funding. Brad & Angelina have visited homes, meetings, etc, lending a ear and a hand, as much as they could. Reasons locals know that they are the contributors of so much, church leaders, in communities have not denied this. Locals, fans, home buyers etc, have been seeking these two out by showing up in droves at building sites known to frequent AJ& BP. Gossip I’ve heard is that Shiloh gives Angelina hugs and kisses and chews Angelina’s hair in her mouth which AJ finds amusing, Shiloh says full words in a baby voice. Both parents are extremely attentive to the children.. Now I don’t know if this is true, just people talking from NO.I hope BP&AJ don’t bite off more than they can chew, but Brad has said ‘you have to start somewhere’.

God bless the Jolie-Pitts.

Hi Felinelilly, thank you for your shout out. Back at you. Hello to you and to all the regulars bermy girl africa girl, guli, bdj, briseis, sara, lady G, jaxon, ntt, sharon, Shar, peaches, and tabitha.
I really get choked up with joy and pride when i read about the wonderful things which Brad and Angie do all the time. It’s inspiring to see human beings being kind and treating other human beings with such love and compassion. I finally received my MIR t-shirts and hats. The cotton of the t-shirts are very soft. I never knew there was such a thing as “organic” cotton.
Peace
I will be very happy if brad and Angie or even only Brad goes to ellen show.
Hey AG–How are you? I miss your witty posts! BTW–I always wondered why some nammes appeared in blue :-)
Hiya felinelilly and to all BAMPZS fans who are here now ((waving))
bdj–if you are still around, can please post those great MIR articles here as well. Many thanks :-)
Fans–please ignore the trolls and keep this thread positive.
This is for a very important and much needed cause. If the trolls are so shallow and desperate to try to undermine such a wonderful project which is going to help many people who desperately need it, it just shows how pathetic they are. Ignore them, they hate being ignored :lol: :lol:
another insider?hahahahaha how about telling us whether they are there or not? :lol:
C’mon we have and had as many insiders in our threads as your hairs in your head.so give us a clue why we should believe you,positive or negetive you are another liar like other insiders here.
btw I myself think(just think) Angie might be at another trip for UN and other jps are in LA.maybe I’m wrong or right who knows.hopefully we will understand where they are sooner than later.
My thoughts on the Make it Right project :–
There is good that come out of these. 1st — People who were displaced will have a home. 2nd — there will be jobs created during construction.
Finally, once this neighborhood is put back together, this can be a POTENTIAL tourist stop for tourists, visiting the area planned with the world’s renowned architects. We all know tourists love to visit UNESCO world heritage sites. The same reasoning can apply here.
Travel company can set up WALKING tours. Where can you find a place with all those houses, planned by world renowned architectects ALL IN ONE LOCATION ? And to see how eco-green features are applied, to learn about the history of pre and post Katrina. It could be very educational too.
With tourist bus bringing people to the neighborhood, there will be shops springing up to cater to the tourist, gift shops, restaurants, ice cream store, coffee shop, hotels, etc. Gift shops can sell post Katrina postcards, different houses blueprints, tote bags, MIR T shirts. Heck, they can even bottle those dirt or muds from the site and sell them. It’s all good for the local ECONOMY.
Tourism is big business !!!
Brad’s ideas are BRILLIANT !!! This is the man who has the foresights, the connection, the drive , and the heart. He has all my respect.
We should be greatful that Brad is shepherding this project with his precious TIME.

how about golden sh*t poster or little honey’s poster or free originaly’s poster or even maddona’s poster takes her a** out of here and to Angie’s thread not them as couple or even them as family just Angie’s thread?what do you think about this work?
Two recent incidents show how Brad and Angie are held up to a different standard by the media.
1) Violent…or Heartbroken?
Scuffle went down the other day between Chris Martin and a paparazzo in New York after she left the hospital prompting some to call Chris violent and out of control.
Now I’m not one to hate on the paps – almost never in fact. The ones who use long lenses especially. Most of the time, they are called and they are tipped. And the truth of the matter is, celebrities need to be photographed as much as photographers need to be photograph celebrities.
So in the past, when Chris lost his sh*t, 100% he was acting a pissy ***** douchebag. But this time? Well… take a look first for yourselves. Click here for the clip and your heart will break a little.
You will note that Chris only flies off the handle when the pap offers his congratulations. The man’s wife had just come out of hospital – not exactly an occasion for celebration. Particularly if she was in hospital for terrible and tragic reasons. Can you imagine?
His reaction therefore sheds some light on what may have been ailing her. I’m told it had nothing to do with being undernourished as has been reported. That she was on some kind of cleanse and was overexerting herself and collapsed. My sources say that is very unlikely. What’s likely, rather, is sad smut.
Hope my poor Gwynnie gets well soon…
2) The Aniston Racist Update
Many of you have asked for an update on the situation. Click here for a refresher on what went down the other day. During the same “racialist” (booyakasha!) incident, Jennifer Aniston’s bodyguards also tried to run the photographer off the road. The paparazzo was using a long lens and was stationed over 2 blocks away from the set – in other words, not one of those crazy Britney Spears mobs.
As reported the other day, the photographer filed a report with the police. The police have since tried to locate the bodyguard and bring him in for questioning. My sources tell me exclusively however that once word of police involvement reached the set, the decision was made for the bodyguard to flee the country and he left Canada immediately. Jennifer reluctantly sent him home to avoid being investigated. Which is why the police have been unable to locate him over two days.
Rumour has it she was disappointed but did defend him, insisting that he must have been provoked to have uttered something so reprehensible. I guess that’s an acceptable excuse for calling someone a *****.
Meanwhile she’s now requested extra help, asking the studio to pay for 5 extra security assistants to shield her at all times during outside location shots, even though two days ago, she was photographed waving at the paps.

If that was brad giving a paparazzo the beat down, haters will have nationwide call for his head. Jen’s bodyguard used a racist word in CANADA but it doesn’t get picked up by the US media yet news from INDIA made headlines here in a flash.

Let’s see if my name is black…
# 63 he he he @ 01/17/2008 at 12:56 pm
same applies to you keep it positive.
Brad has good BUSINESS ACUMEN.
Take a look at Plan B which Brad launched in 2002. Since launching, he has been quietly and methodically asserting himself as a producer of projects in which he does not star, like “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” and “the departed”. Both are very successful in the box office.
Brad also produced A Mighty Heart which has CRITICAL ACCLAIM, and many nominations.
Brad could have done what many people did,
writing checks to support a charity. But he didnt.
He took on a big risk, to bring a difficult project
into fruitation, to ask people to donate to the
class of citizen whom many would prefer to write off.
Oh yeah it is! Thanks African Girl, I could never figure out why my name was blue. I thought it was because it was recognizing my name as misspelled (all one word) and pointing it out, lol.
——————————————–
I’ll keep it in blue, it’s my favorite color.
Oops, forgot to fill the website box back in, lmao. Here we go…

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may have been a bit late for Monday night’s Critics’ Choice Awards ceremony in Los Angeles – but that didn’t stop them from stealing the show.
Once inside, the dapper duo held court at a front-and-center table, where they were deluged with admirers and Hollywood heavy-hitters during the commercial breaks.
Jolie, 32 – nominated for best actress for her role in A Mighty Heart and wearing a Dolce and Gabbana dress and Christian Louboutin heels – cozied up to Pitt throughout the meal.
guli, when are you taking your annual trip to Turkey so we can send a big shipment of the troll with you so you can drop them over the Atlantic?
