Doug Pitt to Brother Brad: Let’s Care to Learn!

Doug Pitt, the younger brother of Hollywood actor Brad Pitt is speaking out about his “Care to Learn” Project, which is all about kids’ health, hunger and hygiene.

Says Doug, “The idea was to help kids that show up on a school day with an immediate need. We need to get to them quick, obviously. So we set up this fund to do just that. Last week, we had a kid need clothes and food. And within 20 minutes - from the phone call - counselors, teachers, principals, make a call to the Foundation for Springfield Public Schools. And they’re on it. They now have the funds to address that urgent need.”

For more information, visit CareToLearnFund.com. At the website, you can see one of the Care to Learn Founders include Springfield, Missouri business man Doug Pitt, who recognized the need and is coordinating a solution to this growing issue.

Also a founder of the project is the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, a Humanitarian Fund supported by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

Jennifer Garner gets first-look at WB

Studio signs deal with actress’ Vandalia Films
By TATIANA SIEGELMore Articles:

Jennifer Garner and producing partner Juliana Janes have signed a first-look deal with Warner Bros. for their Vandalia Films banner.
Garner, who has worked with Janes for six years, has been looking to expand her role as a film producer. The pair have a development slate that includes the following:

A remake of the Japanese supernatural drama “Be With You.” Allan Loeb is penning the script, which centers on a woman who, after dying, returns for a brief second chance to figure out her purpose. Vandalia will produce alongside Jinks/Cohen.

“Arranged,” which was written by Loeb and is being revised by “Grey’s Anatomy” scribe Krista Vernoff. Story chronicles a modern-day arranged marriage of an unlikely couple whose fathers are friends from the old country. Gary Winick will direct, and Mark Gordon Co. and Scarlet Fire Films will also produce.

“Devil in the Junior League,” an adaptation of Linda Francis Lee’s novel written by Kate Kondell, which tells the story of a stuffy, Southern socialite whose husband disappears with another woman and the wife’s fortune. Film will be produced in association with Scott Stuber and Laura Hopper.

“Sabbatical,” which revolves around a couple in their seventh year of marriage who decide to take a two-week sabbatical from each other to inject some life back into their union. John Brownlow penned the script. Idealogy’s Sean Bailey is producing alongside Charles Weinstock.

“The Garden of Last Days,” which is based on a forthcoming book by Andrew Dubus III (”House of Sand and Fog”). Intellectual Property Group controls the book, which Vandalia will produce with an eye toward Garner starring. No writer has been set.

“3 Days in Europe,” a romantic adventure following a couple as they face danger and excitement on what was supposed to be the perfect Valentine’s Day vacation. Vandalia Films has partnered with Hugh Jackman and John Palermo of Seed Prods. to bring the graphic novel by Anthony Johnston and Mike Hawthorne to the bigscreen. Eric Gitter and Peter Schwerin are producing for Oni Press through their Closed on Mondays Entertainment banner, and Jackman and Garner are attached to star.

Legal Services”To start with, we’ll develop material as potential starring vehicles for me,” Garner said. “I’d have to be pretty passionate about something to commit to the project if I wasn’t intending to be in it.”

Funny how a certain person’s fanbase is ALWAYS lurking on threads concerning anything Jolie-Pitt.

From IMDB-Supposely Brad, Angie and kids in Shawnee OK today.

My teachers daughters found out he was in Shawnee for a family reunion and they followed him to the house, asked for a pic, but said no (I don’t blame them) and then they followed him to the airport and saw them leave!! She said the kids were playing in the front yard and everyone was having a good time!! So sweet!! His family is very nice!! I live in a town right next to Shawnee but go to a tech school there!

Jello @ 04/17/2008 at 11:46 pm Betty Russell’s second husband, who she married in the 50’s, died 12/03 but I’ve never seen anything about her death. She is in her mid 80’s IIRC. Maybe it is her birthday or some other hallmark date. It’s not exactly the normal time you see family plan reunions.

Brad’s granma Betty Russell is in Shawnee. She is 85 this year.

Why anybody would go hungry here where food are thrown out by the truckloads everyday and where obesity is a problem is beyond me.

Why dose she bother? She knows she will be compared to AJ again and she will come up trumps. I find it really hard to like this woman. Why does she set herself up for an emotional Fu*k up every time.

****************************************************

Jennifer Aniston only does charity if it is being broadcasted on National TV like her St Jude commercial, and now she gives money to Oprah TV show and as usual broadcast it again on a National TV how generous she is. Aniston is the biggest famewh*re of all!

Jen is phony! @ 04/18/2008 at 9:43 am

Jen is back @ 04/18/2008 at 7:07 am the mini van majority will bow down to jen this week.

********************************

Jen is such a phony, she only does charity when its going to be broadcast on TV, like her St Jude Commercial and now Oprah’s gives back! Geez, she is so predictable, she doesnt donate anything if not being shown on TV! How phony is that?????

But like you, I’ve been watching the campaign with interest, and I really want John McCain to win. I’m proud to support John, even though one of the Democrats running is a relative of mine. He’s Senator Obama to you, but he’s cousin Barack to me.

Amazingly enough, it turns out that Barack is also related to Brad Pitt. That means **** Cheney and Brad Pitt are related, which explains what Angelina sees in that guy. In case you’re looking — in any case, you’re looking at somebody who is just a couple degrees of separation from the sexiest man alive.

why is D ick censored?

#128 :….Yes their are still people who are hungry and need help in the U.S.A. but it has to do with people on drugs and alcohol…..children who have parents like this do not let it be known to the authorities……..No it is not goverments fault……these are kids who fall through the cracks….plus we have gang problems in the poor parts of the city.Yes ,and mexican families do send money back home but the woman are not afraid to ask for wic programs and anchor babies get welfare checks until they are 18 and food stamps and housing and plus the mexican people take good care of their children cook and keep them clean,and dads are hard workers,the mexican people will do the hardest work,they can rent a run down house and by evening have it all clean inside and out and a big meal cooking by evening,,,The men who come from mexico do not get welfare its the woman who get help ….But that i don’t mind who gets help i was talking about poor kids who fall through the cracks and really their millions,the USA has a very bad drug problem plus gang problems in the inner cities.Look at L.A…Compton,,Kansas city ,Little Rock…even here in okla we have alot of gangs in poor areas.Peace,did not mean to put down any race….I was talking about poverty.

I do not care what or how much Jennifer Aniston donates.
1. She cooperates with a Vodka company.
2. For Jennifer only two people count herself and Courteney Cox. To this nothing has changed within the last three years.
3. She simply wants to show: Now I am generous too. Just like Reese Witherspoon, Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johannson, Nicole Kidman, Whoopie Goldberg, Jessica Lang, Susan Sarandon, Liv Tyler or Charlize Theron, Drew Barrymore and natural Angelina Jolie. All of them excellent women.
4. Jennifer does that, for her image not for the people.

I wanted to send my Blessings to the Jolie-Pitt Family and also to all the fans,on my way to Dr.all of you have a good day.

The world is better, because Jen is following Brad and Angelina’s footsteps by getting involved in charity, instead of the other way around, which is for Brad and Angelina to spend their entire life tanning and highlighting their hair. All is good. The more mega rich celebs imitate B&A, the better the world will be.

Imagine that… an all-female producing duo who has a list of movie ideas to present to a studio.

Versus a mission statements ladened with artsy-fartsy mumbo-jumbo about women and listening to each others’ stories.

If you can’t stand it, then don’t come here at B and A’s thread. I can’t stand that you try to sell your idol here. You know why you are doing that intentionally. This site has more traffic than your idol’s, so you come here. Good Bye!!!

Take out the celeb portion of your statement and we now realize why you’re always in such a bad mood. You’re always second best to a brother that got all the attention. Good for your brother.

My post disappeared. Another try.

Tom c has scientology. X belongs to Okra’s church.

Exposed- Okra.s church fraud.

hiya bampzsville :)
didn’t even realize we had a new thread

But I thought X only gave money privately. Isn’t that the lie her fans kept repeating. LOL

BTW Jennifer Garner having a production company shows you it is easy to get material. It’s harder to get the green light to start the movie. She and the other Jen are in the same place. No big deal. No upfront money.

PT- I summarized your post in my head and since I am slow in comprehension, I am signing off with the thought that Angie really likes Brad’s banana. Bye Bye. I lost 2 posts already. Back to lurking.
