George Clooney on Brad and Angelina

Fri, 02 May 2008 at 10:27 am

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were ranked No. 21 on TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People.

George Clooney wrote the article explaining how and why Brad and Angelina were deserving of the honor.

“As a team, actors Brad Pitt, 44, and Angelina Jolie, 32, have served as our goodwill ambassadors worldwide. They brought help to Pakistan in 2005, after a catastrophic earthquake killed tens of thousands of people and left millions homeless. They have tended to the poor and sick in Africa. And they’ve raised global awareness—and contributed $1 million of their own money—for the victims of atrocities in Darfur. Brad co-founded Not on Our Watch, an organization set up to focus global attention on Darfur and other hot spots.

Angelina has worked tirelessly through the United Nations on behalf of refugees around the world, touring border camps in Africa, Asia and Latin America and lobbying on Capitol Hill. The couple cares for three adopted children, from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam, in addition to their biological daughter.”

I think George Clooney is pompous and self-righteous.

alia @ 05/02/2008 at 10:45 am

thanks, “???”
wasn’t sure…

# 11

yeah @ 05/02/2008 at 10:48 am

I do love them for all they’ve done.
BUT.
1.) Actors make WAY too much money to begin with.
2.) And I’d be giving away millions too if I had made $20 million dollars (and they both did) that patheic piece of sh!t movie Mr & Mrs Smith. Hell, I’d feel compelled to give all my money away, the guilt would be too much.
3.) Clooney is a tool.

Aww George…gotta like him.

I hope he looks like a knockout at the Gala in NY. He needs to host more of these things. Everyone else is so stupid and ugly to be chairing that charity event.

I think I’m one of the few that actually liked that dress

# 20

fashionista @ 05/02/2008 at 11:19 am

That dress is Hermes designed by John Paul Gaultier. Trust me in the fashion world that dress is already iconic. In person it is just stunning. it’s 2005, not quite vintage and is in the Ombre style. Not everyone can pull this off.

fashionista @ 05/02/2008 at 11:21 am

What is the Ombre? It involves dip-dyeing garments in such a way that the colors change gradually. Ombre is basically the sophisticated city cousin of the more laid-back tie-die. It has been popping up all over the runway lately.

GC did not write the piece @ 05/02/2008 at 11:36 am

I think its George publicist Stan who wrote the piece. Its like the person is writing about acquitances not friends.

So much better than parading your 40 year old body in a bikini and rubbing face with a man who “likes to pee on his woman”…..

Nice couple with great looking kids doing what they can for those who are in need!!!!

I admire them!!!

yeah @ 05/02/2008 at 10:48 am
=================================

Yeah….you’re right. Actors DO make way too much money. But at least they contributed their money and effort to help the needy.

Unlike SOMEBODY who got more than a hundred million dollars out of a divorce settlement who didn’t contribute anything but lying around sunbathing for 4 years. Talk about a waste of space.

George didn’t mention all the work Brad is doing right here to rebuild New Orleans with “green” homes. He didn’t mention Angelina’s visits to the war zone in Iraq to bring attention to the millions of displaced refugees of our war.Her entire thrust in these developing nations is to bring attention to displaced people and the fact we are losing generations of children who are not fed or educated. Her emphasis has been on education because it empowers them to help themselves. If more rich people did even one tnet of what these two do, it would force governments all over the world to step up to help and stop hurting people.

They are very generous but only because they have the means to be. Your average person who donates a portion of their income is JUST as generous even if it’s only $20 that they are able to give.
