The government does not release tax filings. PR firms for the “do gooders” does not. 8 million in - 2.4 million out. What’s the moola, guys?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The tax return is public information and FOX News obtained & released it — not the J-P’s. This return is for SIX (6) MONTHS in 2006 — almost 2 years ago. I’m sure FOX hoped to embarrass Angelina, per usual, but to their credit they released the information anyway.

THANK YOU!!! It’s called the Freedom of Information Act. You too can request said information as long as you complete the correct paperwork. Most of the information regarding their donations can from the receivers and not their foundation.

the pics are from last wendsday? why splash is releasing just now?

Yeah but didn’t they make 20 million off the baby pictures/orphans?

Hi guli I see from the posts the Flamingo girl is flying without crutches.
Good for you and her. I am sure Easter was great Mommy happy, everyone happy. Hi Felinelily hope you had a good Easter also. I only saw you two guys names so far. Love pictures of Z so in a few minutes 200 posts smile. Its cold in New York but sunny; a beautiful day in NY.

Tijen–we had a great time, I’ll send you some pics. I hope have a great time shopping, how is A. doing?

Hiya Feline, thelookoflove1365 , jessO (Auzzie, right?) and senior–How are you all doing today??? Zee is sooo precious in these pics and I love it!

Gerodena–check your last video, I left a comment

I mean most stars, Elton John, Paul Newman, Bono, Britney give more but they don’t go on and on about it.

I know about Sir Elton John, Bono and Paul Newman donating a lot, but seriously, Britney? Never heard of it! Just thought she gave a lot to where she shopped, and a lot of money to K-Fed, never heard of her being a benefactress to anything. I’m not saying it’s not true, but that I never read or heard about it. Can you enlighten me?

By the way, Brad and Angelina don’t “go on and on” about their charitiesm, it was Fox News who wrote the article based on the Jolie-Pitt Foundation tax returns, and the tabs and blogs picked it up. But of course, the haters conveniently forget that part and always just blame Brad and Angelina.

Thank you JJ for the new pics. Both Angie and Z is looking good. I love them. BTW, #38 Anonymous, the government does not release tax information but the recipient of these donation can.
God bless the Jolie Pitts for their kind heart. The more they give the more they are blessed.

Here come the crazies!!!

Hi Fellinlilly-how’s your bball bracketology? Winning anything?

Anyway, trolls are out in force questioning B&A money donations. Pathetic people. Assuming that it’s a PR ploy to release the tax return, when it was Fox who “researched” it just to dig dirt. Email Fox and complain to them why are they “helping” B&A with their so called PR release. Trolls are beyond stupid.

tabitha you are right,ignore and flag

tabitha @ 03/24/2008 at 2:51 pm Why don’t we just ignore the haters.
———————————————————————————-
because someone will take the bite eventually…everyone always says this, but when I check back on here the next day, there are pages of back and forths between people…I think this request is almost pointless anymore (even though I agree in part- except that it’s more that ‘haters’ and fans alike cause as many problems together rather than one over another).

kelly @ 03/24/2008 at 2:37 pm

Should she have a blanket at that age? She is cute. Angelina and Brad show off yet they don’t give that much. I mean most stars, Elton John, Paul Newman, Bono, Britney give more but they don’t go on and on about it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Really? When did AJ/BP go on & on about it? Britney who? The same girl who kept the $$$ when she sold her kids’ photos? Newman has a foundation to does an annual report too and I believe it says on his food label how much they have raised.

Angelina and Brad established The J-P Foundation after Shiloh’s photos were sold by Getty. There has never been any confirmation that I am aware of that photos of Maddox, Zahara or Pax were sold.

She has so much love in her heart for her children.

Waves to guli…

Ok-this pix, plus the 8M donations, plus the rumor that JP’s were in MO for the easter weekend drove the haters crazy -again. LOL

anyone who is questioning who released the info needs to actually get their facts straight rather than simply believing that Brad and Angelina must have conspired with FoxNews to make the 6:00 news headline. Grow up!

But I will agree with someone earlier who said that while it is such a wonderful thing for them to donate $8+ million to charity, they do receive that back in their returns. I think some people have forgotten that fact. That $8+ million will come back in their refund check (as it does for everybody).

wasn’t this the outing with brad’s mom too?

What ever happened to that cr@p w/ Zahara’s bio mom?

? @ 03/24/2008 at 3:00 pm

Is Zahara going to be 4 next January?
_____________________________________

Yes.

77,not sure about that

otherthanot @ 03/24/2008 at 2:14 pm

LOL and you are here to show your bitterness. LMAO

I love Princess Z, and the whole family is just such a beautiful group….all glorious shades and I just get gushy when there are respectful pictures of them.

~Zehara is soo beautiful.

Some haters are fishing for something! So transparently pathetic. Nothing to contribute but negativity just becuase their lives are pathetic also. You recieve what you give. Negative actions will recieve negative reactions, simple as that!

dangermuse @ 03/24/2008 at 2:39 pm

bitter too much lol

She was probably buying stuff for the kid’s easter baskets!

Felinelilly-
I thought about that too re “lay off” when I hit submit and it was taking forever that I had time to re-read it, but was too late and cant abort the process. I’m glad you know it’s not you but the haters, LOL.

BBL

Zahara is a beautiful little girl.

I’m sure Zee will be a model when she grows up, she’s so adorable already. What a loving mom Angelina seems to be!

what the he** brad’s mom supposed to do there all the time?from the time they arrived in Texas,you are claiming Brad’s mom is there while there was not even one single report(let put alone pics) from good source to claim they saw Brad’s mom with them.Brad’s mom has family in MO and has at least 7 more grandkids,I’m sure she loves them even more since she spends so much time with them.

we never saw Brad’s mom with them.just once while Angelina was in Darfur,after that she never came to their house or wherever they are.or at least they were not such a picture or report of her with them in prague,NYC or in Texas or Chicago or wherever they went during last year.

What It Feels Like…

… To Be the Brother of a Movie Star
Doug Pitt, 40
All that America knows about Brad Pitt is what’s on the big screen or in the tabloids. But Springfieldian Doug Pitt grew up with him and has a completely different perspective on fame.
BY DOUG PITT,
AS TOLD TO EVAN FISK

Growing Up With Brad Pitt

He’s 43. He’ll be 44 in December. And our younger sister is two years younger than I am. We were really close [growing up]. We’ve got a close family, and that has absolutely nothing to do with what or who he is. We were his brother and sister then like we are now. Naturally there was something in Brad that made him jump in the car and drive to L.A. that I didn’t possess. But at the same time, I wouldn’t say we’re a whole lot different.

I’m 40 years old, and I’ve spent most of it here in Springfield. I spent six months living in L.A. when I was 20-21. I went out there to stay with Brad for a month and ended up staying for six because it was so much fun. Then I came back to finish school, so it was nothing more than an extended vacation. He had done a lot of TV at that time, and he had gone to Yugoslavia to do his first film, Dark Side of the Sun. I spent a lot of that time by myself, and I had a blast.

Going to Premieres and Tapings
Our first premiere was probably A River Runs Through It. We got to meet Robert Redford and do that whole hoopla in New York. It was quite a deal. I’d be lying if I said I still didn’t enjoy that part.
I’ve been to tons of [movie sets]. The last one I was on was Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It’s fun. It never gets old. It’s not a glamour deal at all. In fact, it’s pretty arduous. They’ll do the same scene 20 times, and to me they all look the same. But the novelty of the production side-seeing how the machines work-is so far removed from what I do day-to-day. That part’s fun. And again, I get to watch my brother work.

Brad’s First Film That the Family Saw Together
Thelma and Louise. He did a little one called Cutting Class, but really the first big one was Thelma and Louise. And even in the first decade, yes, we all met to see it, and it was a big deal with friends and all that. Now I try to get there on opening night, but sometimes I don’t get that done.

Unwanted Media Attention
I can’t say I’m bored with it, but I’m in the neighborhood. [Laughs.] We’ve been doing this for 20 years. The novelty has well worn off, you know? We covered that in the first decade. Now I guess we’re in maintenance mode. You deal with it as you have to.

Naturally, we were getting to do a lot of things for the first time: Go to premieres, meet people, do some things. That part was exciting. That was fun. Now we’ve been there and done that. But on the flip side, people are coming to my doorstep, and I have to change phone numbers and deal with people coming to the office. The intrusion. That was not fun, but we had to experience that for the first time as well and kind of work with those issues and learn how to respond. What is the casual fan, and when does someone cross the line? And how are we prepared to respond to that? Again, there were a lot of unknowns in that first decade. Now I think we’ve got it down pretty well. Like I said, I just consider it maintenance mode. We kind of try to mind our own business.

My skin is a lot tougher than it used to be. Part of that is by choice and part of that is just by necessity. I couldn’t tell you what one gossip magazine says, you know. It’s so far from the truth that it’s not even worth discussion. To say they’re lies, I’m not even sure if that’s descriptive enough. They’re completely fabricated. It used to be they’d take a little fraction of the truth and build lies around it. Now they don’t even bother with that 10 percent anymore.

But I like looking at the pictures because I can keep track of what the family’s doing. I don’t get bent out of shape about stories anymore. What I’m probably most protective of is just our visible space. When they come to Springfield, some of them are still brazen enough to try to come to the front door at the office. That’s not a warm reception for them. [My employees] are actually really good at [dealing with reporters]. They do a great job. When I have to get involved, we usually don’t see those people again.

When Brad’s in the news, my phone is ringing. Unfortunately he’s in the news a lot. I was raised to be polite. I even tried to treat the media that way. But in the last few years, I had to kind of take control. Sometimes that means being outright rude, being curt in how I handle some of these people. I wouldn’t say that’s in my personality, but unfortunately, that’s the way I have to handle it now. I can’t say I’m real apologetic about it either. We’ll leave it at that.

When there’s a statement to be made on something that really has my brother’s interest at heart, or there’s something he’s made a comment on, I’ll make a single comment to People Magazine. But outside of our local paper or local magazine, I just have nothing to say. That’s kind of my line to them: If Brad has something to say, he’ll say it.

Working with Brad on Humanitarian Projects:
Probably one of my biggest deals the past few years has been a number of different humanitarian projects. I’ve had Africa in my scope for the last two years, and right now that’s where my concentrated efforts are, although we are looking at a deal in Cambodia. And also I really want to do something in the States.

Even today, [Brad and I] are talking about some projects, but so far I’ve done my own deal, and he’s done his. I wish I had news for you about this thing coming out, because we’re working on something. It’s a monster. But I just can’t talk about it right now. But it’s… big. It’s really big.

I will tell you that even now [Brad and I] are involved in a fundraiser in Pennsylvania, and we’ll be doing one here in Springfield. Between the two, we expect to raise in the neighborhood of $400,000 for Africa relief.

cliniqua babe!ur awesome!keep on posting my luv.

To the naysayers out there who keep harping on the release of the Jolie-Pitt contribution info…it’s available to everyone via the internet…as are others who have filed charitable foundation returns. You have to register to view and then type in Jolie-Pitt Foundation or any other filing you’re interested in seeing.

Perla @ 03/24/2008 at 2:59 pm anyone who is questioning who released the info needs to actually get their facts straight rather than simply believing that Brad and Angelina must have conspired with FoxNews to make the 6:00 news headline. Grow up!
But I will agree with someone earlier who said that while it is such a wonderful thing for them to donate $8+ million to charity, they do receive that back in their returns. I think some people have forgotten that fact. That $8+ million will come back in their refund check (as it does for everybody).
====================================
Please allow me to correct you.

1) It’s true a taxpayer can take a tax deduction and thereby saves tax.
2) The JoliePitt contributed 8M, and get a tax decuction. But they will not get a 8M in refund. Because the maximum tax bracket for Federal and Cali is 35-40%.

3) If a taxpayer’s tax bracket is 100%, and contributes 8M, he/she will get 8M in tax refund. But there is NO such thing as 100% tax bracket.

Looks like someone never itemized on a return…haha

CPAs PREACH…and pat your own backs…

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Gave $8 Mil to Charity
By Lesley Messer and Stephen M. Silverman

News cameras have captured Brad Pitt building homes in New Orleans, and now federal tax filings for the Jolie Pitt Foundation have documented the good works that Brad and Angelina Jolie are doing behind the scenes.

All told, they gave more than $8 million in donations in 2006, with Pitt putting in $4,402,317, and Jolie donating $4,123,613, the Huffington Post reports, citing newly released federal tax filings. (These latest figures don’t include 2007 – in which, among other charitable efforts, Brad’s Make It Right Foundation raised $5 million.)

In terms of dispensing their funds, according to records for 2006, the foundation handed out $2,367,935, including $1 million to both Doctors Without Borders (International Division) and to the Global Action for Children.

Additional gifts included $137,935 to the Namibia Red Cross Action Program (their daughter Shiloh was born in the African country); $100,000 to the Daniel Pearl Foundation (the late journalist’s widow, Marianne Pearl, was played by Jolie in A Mighty Heart); $100,000 to Global Green U.S.A. and to the Epidermolysis Bulloma Medical Research Foundation.

In addition, $20,000 went to an art park in Los Angeles, as did separate $5,000 donations to two orphanages that Jolie had visited.

More Good Works
In terms of Pitt’s work in Louisiana, Jolie’s costar in the movie Wanted, Morgan Freeman, told PEOPLE Thursday at the Pathfinders to Peace Forum and Gala, “We were in contact with Brad about the situation in New Orleans” – and he called Jolie “such a wonderful woman.”

Said Freeman: “ASIDE FROM ALL THAT PHYSICAL BEAUTY, SHE’S A REAL PERSON.”
