Brad & Angelina Open HIV/AIDS Clinic in Ethiopia
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are continuing to help kids around the world, helping those who have been affected by tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS
The Jolie-Pitt Foundation just donated $2 million to the Global Health Committee to plant a help center in Ethiopia, which will be named after their daughter Zahara (she was adopted from Ethiopia).
The center will be modeled after Maddox Chivan Children’s Center in Cambodia (named after their oldest son), where children receive medical, education and social services.
“Our goal is to transfer the success we have had in Cambodia to Ethiopia where people are needlessly dying of tuberculosis, a curable disease, and HIV/AIDS, a treatable disease,” Jolie said in a statement to People.
Added Pitt, “It is our hope when Zahara is older she will take responsibility of the clinic and continue its mission. The fact that poor people continue to die in our world today of TB, a curable disease, because of lack of access to drugs and care is unacceptable.”

You do not NEED all of your money, why don’t you donate most of it a scale down your lifestyle?
I mean you worked for it, but hey…you obviously have strong feelings about how others should spend their earnings, so how about it?
Pony up some dough!
In fact when was the last time you donated $200.00? $2.00
Further more, Brad Pitt looks exactly how he should look, a man in his forties, not getting much sleep because he has newborn twins.
Why is it you are so much more concerned about his looks than he is? Does he owe it to you?
Did he owe it to you to stay in a broken marriage with someone he did not want to be with?
Fix your own pathetic little life before you decide how to fix anyone else’s!
TO: Shannon and her Negative cyber Karmic souls,
You people are the lowest form of human beings!
Big, Big, DISGRACE TO THE HUMAN RACE!
…man, the vikings got peyton manning’s face all in the dirt…hahahaha…the boy is gonna be dirty when he leaves this game…hahahaha

LMAO, I love you
It’s very nice for Brad and Angelina on their continuing humanitarian efforts to help less fortunate people, specially to those places that don,t have much help coming from their own country.
Congratulations to Brad and the whole cast of Burn after Reading, it’s #1 ! Also, congratulations to Brad and Angelina for being considered the most powerful people in Hollywood by Guinnes Book of World Record.
Still no sighting of Angelina, huh? I am bored with the other celebrities. Did you see how awkward Kidman looks with her Baby in the sling? HAHA
I guess she wasn’t just sitting on her ass crying like the tabs are reporting. Homegirl is getting things done like she always doooo. haha
As an aside, has anyone heard from vickiefromtexas?
Is she anywhere near Ike?

ROTFLMAO. I see the trolls were out early this morning. I love it when they come here accusing Angie of being a smack addict…and can’t even spell heroin right! These trolls are addicts, too - they’re addicted to STUPIDITY!
Hey Swannie/SomeStupidBitchRitzyChickGal -
Here’s a clue for ya - Any foundation that gives away all it’s money isn’t a foundation for very long…because you have to have money to give out! HELLO! Why don’t you go ask Bill Gates why he’s got about $60 BILLION just sitting in the vaults of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation rotting away? When Bill has finished laughing in your face he’ll have the armed guards escort you back to your cell.

Oh wow, where is Vicki? Is she in Houston or anywhere in the area?
Hope she is a bajillion miles away in West Texas. The power is out all over Houston and isn’t expected to be restored for a week.

Ethan and Joel Coen’s farce “Burn After Reading” led a vibrant boom at the fall box office, debuting to an estimated $19.4 million from 2,651 theaters to give the siblings and Focus Features their biggest opening gross ever
Box office observers said the star power of “Burn,” “Righteous” and “Women” proved a big draw. Brad Pitt made the defining difference for “Burn,” which also toplines George Clooney, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton and John Maklovich.

Brad is the box office draw for BAR according to Variety!

I am glad they qualified their statement about Zahara in that they HOPE that she will take RESPONSIBILITY for the clinic as opposed to EXPECTING her to RUN it when she is an adult. But then I expect no less from them.
++++++++++++++++
Neil -
I actually didn’t have a problem when it was worded as “expected”. It’s what parents DO. Now days most people’s parents EXPECT them to go to college, act responsibly, not do drugs, go into the family business, etc. If parents didn’t have expectations of their kids they wouldn’t be raising them right. In Brad & Angie’s case they’re expectations are just a big loftier than the MVMS - they expect their children to follow in their footsteps as humanitarians. If they raise their kids right, the kids will WANT be like their parents and follow in their footsteps. It’s a case where the parents are saying, “We want to be our children’s role models.”
Not a novel concept, but from what I’ve observed it’s not exactly a concept that a lot parents seem to embrace with gusto because as soon as their kids do something wrong they’re looking to blame someone or something else - peer pressure usually. If you raise your kid right, your kid will thumb their nose at peer pressure and do their own thing.
Uh-oh…I probably shouldn’t have posted this…it will undoubtedly lead to a discussion on parenting and responsibility, etc….oh well…off to do laundry now…
This is one of the main reasons why I love them. Hello to all the fans!
Seems to me they are putting the cart before the horse. Wouldn’t it be better to provide families with food, clothing, housing, education and preventive medical care first so that they don’t get sick in the first place. This closing the barn after the horse has bolted is really just a waste of money - how long before these people get sick again because of the poor living conditions. Fix that first and then lets see this other stuff disappear and they people you have helped will have a better quality of life all around.
Ah yes…the trolls have invaded with a vengence since yesterday!
So I have a few remarks:
1) For those of you who think “the truth will come out”
You have been saying that same crap for years and you will still be saying it years from now.
Primarily because the truth is already out -
Brad and Angelina are a couple devoted to each other and to their children.
Their lives has meaning and purpose. they have proven this through their actions.
They are dedicated to making the world a better place for people who cannot help themselves. People, for whatever reason that are not valued.
2) Why do they have their own charity?
So they know that the money goes to exactly where it is supposed to go.
There have been countless scandals in charitible orginizations where the people in the Administration were getting rich diverting funds mean’t for victims and underserved populations.
The United Way, The Red Cross and Jerry Lewis’ Muscular Dystrophy Organization all come to mind.
This is not to say that these are bad organizations as a whole, but at different times they have all had people getting caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
The administrative costs of the Jolie-Pitt foundation are reported publicly and they are minimal.
Let us also not forget that Brad and Angelina are rich through their own work, They are not required to give their money away and they are not required to work on behalf of others.
Plenty of wealthy people do nothing. Or if they are stars, they smile and go on TV to make a convincing argument about why the public should donate money without ever giving any themselves.
Brad and Angelina have been onsite, behind the scenes working at ground level in all their projects.
3) Why can’t they donate their money to American charities?
They have and they do. However this type of devisive, narrow thinking, that a person is less than a person because they are not American is the same kind of elitest thinking that has made genocide acceptable around the world at different times. It is okay to let people starve, to die painfuly and needlessly, to stand by and do nothing, because they are not “us”.
4) Why should Angelina be happy when she ruined JA’s life?
She didn’t ruin her life. Divorce happens and it is always sad when it does because the gap between the dream and the reality are apparent.
No woman can steal a man from a happy relationship. People grow and change and sometimes they grow apart.
JA has been more famous than she ever was before because she is constantly seen on the cover of tabloids and magazines as the “underdog”. She is constantly seen as an object needing pity and encouragement.
Her career has been successful but not particularly noteworthy, in terms of critical aclaim and yet even when she is not involved in any project, every time Brad and Angelina walk down the street, Aniston is mentioned in the article.
Do you really think this woman who has had several different relationships since Brad, is pining away still? Do you really think she wants to live the rest of her life as being “The ex-wife of Brad Pitt”?
There is no other star, Uma Thurman, Reese Witherspoon, Halle Berry, Jennifer Lopez, Julia Roberts, Shania Twain, etc. who has parlayed splitting up or getting divorced into the ongoing drama JA has. Were it not for that, she would not even be in the news.
She is rich with enough money to go where ever she wants, do whatever she wants and be with whoever she wants, if she really is still as hung up on the divorce as you present her to be, then she has serious mental health issues. Big deal. So she sees him all the time in his happiness.
You don’t think millions of ex-wives who had children, have to stay in contact with their ex and see them move on and be happy with someone else?
These rumors continue to abound, not because they are true, but because JA WANTS them to. It keeps her in the news.
Every one Angie has met, Everyone she has ever been involved with has nothing but good things to say about her. They all have a conspiracy?
BBT immediately corrected the story that quoted him as saying unflattering things about Angie. He did so in several respected publications.
JA could squash this if she wanted to. She has enough star power to do so. She doesn’t….I wonder why? She gave one interview putting herself in the victim role and she has yet to give an interview taking herself out of the victim role. So she must benefit.
4) Angie is a drug addict.
Angie had a wild past. She was and has always been candid.
Several people who experimented with or used drugs on a recreational basis that wouldn’t touch them now. Several people that went through periods in their life where they used them heavily that would not touch them now.
I know you will keep dragging up the same old stories, “proofs” and crap because you want to see this family in an ugly light. That is simply your problem and has no basis in fact!
Angelina has provided education,food,housing,clothing and medical care for so many years but of course you were not following Angelina then were you?You were following the merger.
I remember her providing sewing machines to women so that they would help their families by selling their products.She has build schools in Cambodia.Angelina walks the walk.
Who told you that if you’re healthy you wont get AIDS.WOW.Jens fans are stupid.
Why not spend your time telling Jen to stop chain smoking first,people might take her seriously when she talks about cancer.
…pitt is no more the box office draw to this movie than he was for jesse james…everyone in the ensemble has fans, even the directors especially for the movie before this one…and the story is interesting…not everyone see movies because of one actor…fantasy…haha
