Brad & Angelina Open HIV/AIDS Clinic in Ethiopia

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.”

wish they would set up a clinic in the appalachian mountains to help all the poverty stricken people there.

Why don’t you go hunt down a Loretta Lynn thread and tell Loretta to do it. She’s from that area. It should be her responsibility to give back to her community.

Or, here’s a novel idea - you could get off your ass and do it your damned self. But, we wouldn’t want that, now would we? Cuz it smells like work and you’re allergic to work. Belittling the efforts of others you can do. Work, on the other hand, is your kryptonite.

I’ve been inte biz since “Deer Hunting”

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

ROTFLMAO. Yeah, sure you’re John Savage….and don’t even know the names of the movies you’ve been in. It’s “The Deer HUNTER” not “Deer Hunting”! And he was in a ton of other things BEFORE doing The Deer Hunter! Criminy. WTF is wrong with people?

Coming up Daisies

By BILL HARRIS

Kristin Chenoweth is adopted. She knows what the next question is.

“Have you found your birth parents yet?”

For the record, the petite but powerful singer and actress never has looked for her birth parents. She doesn’t want to, and she feels as if adopted people practically need permission these days to not be looking for their birth parents.

“There’s so much pressure,” said the multi-award-winning Chenoweth, who plays Olive in the innovative TV series Pushing Daisies. “And yet if you met my parents, you’d go, ‘She is so their kid.’ We don’t look alike. They’re tall, brunette, they can’t sing, they’re engineers.

“But I get so tired of hearing about Angelina Jolie’s ‘adopted son’ and her ‘biological daughter’ — they’re her children!”

The Jolie-Pitt Foundation

Marcheline Bertrand, her daughter Angelina Jolie, and John Trudell established a private foundation, the All Tribes Foundation, to support the cultural and economic survival of Native peoples. The foundation has issued over $800,000.00 in grants for reservation-based programs that strengthen tribal ways of life and safeguard a future for Native communities. Marcheline served as Secretary-Treasurer of the Foundation until her passing; Angelina Jolie is President and John Trudell is the Advisor.

I love Angelina. She has such a kind heart. She’s always coming up with ways to make charitable contributions to the world. Watch Madonna will copy her.

Snowblood @ 09/14/2008 at 4:17 am

Thanks so much, Jared, for finally coming throug and giving us a Jolie-Pitt thread here at your site! Thank you, baby, and it’s a good one, too!

@ “Passing Through,” is that the name you always use? is that always your name? I really love your comments here, a LOT, but I always get confused on who’s who here at JJ ’cause no one’s helf accountable for their screennames, here, so people switch up their names a lot, or change them, and so forth, and it gets so, so f**king confusing. But I hope you’re always the same-named commentor, ’cause I’ll always be on the lookout for your remarks here, if that’s the case! Love what you’ve got to say, and totally agree pretty much all the way. :)

Hi, Ebmo! And to all the other BADettes in the thread, ciao, tutti! Representin’ for the incomparable, beautiful Angelina and Brad. Now, THESE are a pair of modern celebrities to be excited and happy about. They’re not self-absorbed, wasteful narcississ, they are actively, constantly making change in this suffering world, for the better. They DO things, they don’t talk, they do.

I can’t wait (yes, I can) for the little blackheart scumbag haters who lurk in the shadows around here to start creeping into this thread, spreading their mildew cobweb of spite and bitter ugliness like a fungus plague, because I will be all over them like white upon motherf*cking rice. This thread will doubtless last a few days, so I have plenty of time to come back here tomorrow and start schwacking my sword around, defending these two beautiful people and theirs and their childrens’ names.

notice stu pitt just repeats everything out of psycholinas mouth,she even tells him what to say now aswell as what to do, where to live etc,he is such a dumbass fcuktard

Snowblood @ 09/14/2008 at 4:46 am

Sure you’re not a bottom, there, “topbrit?”

ifyoucouldbeanytree @ 09/14/2008 at 5:24 am

wonderful. absolutly amazing.
god bless them.

eddie jones @ 09/14/2008 at 5:34 am

isn’t that just great. they take all the money from hollywood to give to these other countries all the while acting like they are better then everyone that has given them everything they have. do these fools actually think that come judgement day that gods going to look upon them to be something great? Angelinas whole appeal for the most part is sex appeal, let’s not forget she has a past.

dianad1968 @ 09/14/2008 at 6:01 am

Hi Snowblood, I am glad to see you posting here at JJ. I dont know if you are still on, but I just wanted to tell you I dont think I will be posting at Celebitchy anymore. I had a fight with the poster RAN on Friday, and all her cohorts came to her rescue by basically attacking me.

I happened on that site on that site a couple months ago, and it seemed quite pleasant and funny at the time. I thouroughly enjoyed the experiece initially, and although there were some people who were not fans, they were not unpleasant and accusotory. What with posters like Lola who you just made fun of, and that was the extent of the unpleasantness. But then you get posters like this RAN and a few others who would come on and try to disrupt the thread for Brad and Angie’s fans. I dont expect everyone to like them, but calling their fans hypocrites for recognising the fraud know as Aniston, when they come on every thrad of the JPs and bash them is freaking ridiculous.

I think a lot of the problem is that CB posts a lot of tabloid c**p that is printed about the JPs , and so you get the idiots who come out with their hate frothing at the mouths, and just making a***es of themselves.

So I have decided, for my mental health (lol), I will no longer visit there. At least at JJ I know i am among fans of the JPs. And the few stragglers who dare to venture here, I can enjoy the beatdown that posters like PT, Jill,piper with a low, guli and the numerous others will give them. I hope you will enjoy posting here. S**w CB. LOL.

dianad1968 @ 09/14/2008 at 6:03 am

^^^ should read “accusatory”.

dianad1968 @ 09/14/2008 at 6:06 am

#113,

eddie jones,

STHU. You sound as stupid as Aniston.

paddiest are best @ 09/14/2008 at 6:07 am

What’s wrong with being or feeling sexy, or having a past with being sexy??. Sex is great when you do it with the right person!
(I cannot quite get round to what the heck you are implying, eddie jones)
These two are obviuously truly in love, oh, and they are great actors so they make money and they spend it on their beloved children and people in need.. Oh, and I tell you what? They have a great sex life, too!!! Shame isn’t it?!?

Yeah, bite your nails and get freaking jealous! Who gives a s..?
Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie rule! They are good, inside and outside!
Get on with it!

dianad1968 @ 09/14/2008 at 6:15 am

OK ,I am confused. Is Fingerhut friend or foe?

beautiful couple with a golden heart. :)

Aniston fans are just dense & horrid. Just like their idol.

dianad1968 @ 09/14/2008 at 6:15 am

_)_)_)_

No , Fingerhut is a media Wh-re

dianad1968 @ 09/14/2008 at 6:50 am

Hey judith,

Thanks for clarifying. These idiots multiply like some horrible bacterial infestation that you have hell getting rid of. They are EVERYWHERE.

Lynda @ 09/13/2008 at 10:41 pm Maybe Z will turn out to be a spoilt brat and not give a toss about Africa.
She may want to turn her back on that type of thing……….just because she was born there doesn’t mean she might want to help out

——-

umm with your dumb logic, parents all over the world should not force their children to go to school in their HOPE they actually get graduate from highschool. They also should not keep money in the HOPE their children go to college afterwards…OR buy houses and build empire in the HOPE their children take after them. They should not HOPE their children become a lawyer, an artist, a renow athlete and give them early the material to reach that hope, wether in terms of money or education,…..hey the child may even die before reaching college, or break their legs before exploitung their athletical skills to become a champ… !

Dumb*ass !!!

dianad1968 @ 09/14/2008 at 7:01 am

I think i will be talking to myself soon, as I am having problems falling asleep. I was so tired after work on Friday, that when i got home, I took a shower, went to bed and slept for twelve hours straight.
And that’s not all. I got up, had something to eat, tried to stay awake lost out on that, and went right back to bed. I probably slept about twenty hours total.

I must have been drugged. I am totally sc***ed now.LOL.
