Ellen Makes It Right With Brad Pitt

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.

Visit MakeItRightNola.org to join Brad & Ellen’s team!

hottest couple ever @ 01/17/2008 at 4:08 pm

Hello to my cyber-sisters dina#1 and Felinelilly. How are you lovely ladies today?? BBL

I finally rec’d my t-shirts from makeitright foundation. I love these t-shirts they are so soft and fit very good. Are they made from green ?. I love it. Will make another donation soon. Thank you Ellen for joining Brad’s team and God bless all of you for helping.

Guli, bdj only posted one article on MIR. Did you want the one about Davos?

Woo hoo! A great big HUG and hello to all the positive posters out there celebrating our favourite family, our favourite cause, and my/our favourite talk show host! :D

I would LOVE to see Brad and Angie on the Ellen show for a spot on Make It Right. Oh, who am I kidding?! I think they should get a whole HOUR to talk about Make It Right and anything else they care to share :D That would be such a treat!

I hope everyone is doing great - you’re all in my thoughts and prayers.

Bijoux - if you are looking for more organic Cotton products, check out a company called ‘Under The Canopy’ online. I have a long sleeved shirt from them that is soft as can be :-) Organic, fair trade and made in Peru.

Felinelilly ,there was one from this morning I think, I thought it was really nice and cute from another state urging their city to donate…

Here is anothe hilarious interview with Brad re MIR with a local news-station. I actually hadn’t seen this one bofore :lol: :lol:

OMFG,WENN has new pics of brad at hotels late last night with one woman.what the he** is he thinking?

+++++++++++++++

Just “one woman”? Geez…why bother telling us? Come back when Brad is spotted at “hotels” with multiple women - say 382 women. If it’s less than 382, don’t bother us unless you have specific details of what or who went down.

tee hee :lol: ……. it does make you go hmmmmm!

From x17online.com

Is George Clooney’s life so boring that reporters only want to ask him about the state of his good friend Brad Pitt’s family life?

At the National Board of Review Awards in NYC, Us asked George if Brad was about to become a fifth-time papa, and George’s response was: “I have no idea. I don’t think so.”

AG, I read what you told Felinelily about not filling in the website to get name to stop posting in blue. I did and it didn’t post at all. I have always filled in all the blanks and it always posted black. Until one day when I went into waiting moderation. After that I have been posting in blue. I even contacted Jared and he said it was because I had my e-mail address. But it will not post without it. So are you able to post without filling in http://just jared? I tried it and my comments didn’t post. Oh well I guess I am stuck with the blue. Unlike you, blue is not my favorite. Peace

+++++++++++++++++++

Dina -

All that’s required is a username and e-mail address. Just leave the website blank…unless you’re like that Courtney chick who comes over her to shamelessly promote her own blog by posting half-assed messages here…

#145= BIG, FAT LIAR. No pics.

First of all, hi Hottest Couple Ever. I hope you are doing well. And thanks for the shout out.

Secondly, AG you are correct. My first comments took awhile to post. And my name is black, not blue. Therefore please disregard my second post stating that nothing changed. Now I have options. If I want a daring and electric blue name I can have one. If I want basic black, good for all occasions I can have that also. Oh AG, thank you for the information. Peace :lol: :lol: :lol:

dina#1 *waving hello* A black dress and a blue dress are all a girl needs :D

vickifromtexas @ 01/17/2008 at 4:40 pm

lady g, i like clooney off and on but lately he seems sort of smarmy. i bet it is hard on the ego to be asked about another star.

Coal—how are you lady? I love Ellen too and I am thrilled that she is promoting MIR!

NY Lurker–I just caught up with the old thread. I am so sorry to hear you weren’t feeling well :-( Are you OK now?

PT–trolls are hilarious, I finally read the last pages of the last thread, OMG it was hilarious ROTFLMAO…Please let’s not bring it up on this thread :lol:

Hiya Dina #1–I keep on missing you here at JJ’s…

Passing Through

Hey PT, thank you. I worked the first time. It just took so damn long to post I thought I had lost it. Now I have options. And do I ever like options.

The sisters, Williams, played doubles last night and won. Although I am not a fan of her’s, Davenport lost to Sharapova. I guess it was a bit much to think she could come out after a baby and nine+ months off and win. Sharapova will surely meet one of the sisters later on. Thanks AG. Thanks PT. Peace

HI Coalharbourqt!

Thank you for info re: organic cotton. I’ll check out “Under the Canopy” online. Do you think because it’s organic cotton, that’s what makes the t-shirt so soft?

Peace

Widespread Panic helping to ‘Make It Right’

http://onlineathens.com/stories/011708/marquee_20080117024.shtml

With its keyboardist JoJo Hermann hailing from New Orleans, Athens’ own Widespread Panic feels a special connection to New Orleans and its inhabitants continuing to rebuild in Katrina’s long aftermath. This week, the band announced a new song, “Walk On the Flood,” is available for $10 for download at livewidespreadpanic.com to benefit the “Make It Right” (MIR) program. Co-founded by Brad Pitt, MIR is rebuilding New Orleans’ lower ninth ward with earth-friendly, flood safe homes.

This is a super cool program serving not only New Orleans’ most deserving residents, but offering a model for developers who’d like to provide the willing consumers with low-impact, efficient, environmentally friendly homes, as in neighborhoods. Hey, developers, are you listening?

Check out designs and make a donation at makeitrightnola.org and make a purchase of Panic’s song - it’s a sneak peek of the band’s 10th studio album, “Free Somehow,” set for release Feb. 12.

R.E.M. ‘Accelerates’ to April

Another Athens band that’s been a supporter of New Orleans (by way of the New Orleans Musician’s Relief Fund, among other efforts), R.E.M. is counting down to the April 1 release of its 14th studio album, “Accelerate.”

Hi Guli - *hugs* hanging in there - how are you and the Pink Flamingo? :D

Bijoux - I think so. There may be no scientific basis to it though :lol: Probably just my wishful thinking!

guli

Hey guli. I’ve been sorta half azz lurking. To many crazy discussions. I was over at JJB and saw your comments about political discussions over here. They didn’t last that long. And only about three or four of us were involved. I think because we were all pretty rational women, we decided to agree to disagree and keep on trucking. Nothing even similar to the discussion about the JP’s splitting because Brad let Mad and AJ out at the restaurant. That was the most asinine discussion ever on JJ. Please correct me if I am wrong.

coalharbourqt

I could never critize AJ for wearing black. Closet filled with black skirts, blouses, and pants. And a drawer of black sweaters. I always say when I go shopping I am going to buy something of color. And sometimes I do. But I seldom wear them. I am drawn to black. And no I am not in mourning. I just love black. Can be worn and good for all occasions.

Say fans let’s have a good day and enjoy each other. We all bring something good here to JJ. Let’s enjoy one another and ignore the trolls. Things are slow right now. No new pictures. But in the next couple of weeks things should pick up. What rc events are coming up. When are the NAACP awards? I am certain JPs will be there. My youngest daughter just got her SAG card. She can’t vote this year, too late. But I told her next year if she is eligilbe to vote and Brad and Angie are able to vote she had best vote for them. Of course she would anyway if she is eligible. Luv it. Peace all. Peace

harleston, SC, January 13, 2008 –(PR.com)– simplyURstyle.com Jewels & Gifts of Reflection will donate 50% of net profits to Make It Right 9, founded by Brad Pitt, the company said in a media release.

simplyURstyle.com, launched in August of 2007, was created based on owner Angela Blair’s desire to have something new and virtually unheard of in the e-commerce world. In addition to an eclectic mix of jewelry featuring semi-precious stones, sterling silver and message charms, simplyURstyle.com uplifts and motivates with inspirational columns written by author Lois Maiden. Angela says, “When you wear jewelry that inspires you, you feel good and I enforce that with a little spiritual guidance. To place this type of motivation on a jewelry website is unconventional, but I’m giving the option to my customer to read and do with it what they choose. I want to offer a complete package of well-being…”

With such a dynamic online experience in place, simplyURstyle.com is proud to show their commitment to helping rebuild New Orleans. The offer is an impressive 50% of net profits from sales to Make It Right 9. “Brad Pitt has set forth a goal of building 160 homes and thus far he has accumulated 65 of those homes. I want to help him bring his dream to fruition,” said Angela Blair.

A big “hi” to all the regulars posting right now.

I just spent a guilty hour or so looking at youtube videos of Brad and Angelina. They really took me back and, being the sop that I am, I was smiling and getting teary eyed at a few!

Missouri Fan, you are very talented and I’m going to make it a point to check out youtube more often.

My absolute favourites are “Because of You” by angelah and “Because you loved me” song by Celine Dion/ video by ? The words and pictures just seem to go together and show that this couple have been inseparable, nomads supporting each other for a long while now. I’m glad they left the US to cement their family and relationship away from the glare. Namibia must have been a special private time for them.

My wish for the Jolie Pitts : Be fruitful and prosper :)

I can’t wait for the SAG awards. We should get new pictures then. Here’s to lots of red carpet Pitt p@rn pictures! LOL

Andrómeda @ 01/17/2008 at 5:12 pm
