OlderBrad & 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.”

“Wouldn’t it be nice if some celebrites actually used their fortunes help out people in their OWN country… No offense to Africa, or any other country.. but god damn, lets help our OWN cause in america , just a little.”
The Jolie-Pitts are doing things in this country, but it doesn’t take a celebrity to make a difference. Why don’t you start? November 4th.. vote for the candidate that wants to focus on our domestic agenda.
……………………….nursing my a**
Yes, i have done nursing in many parts of China, Thailand and India.
Paid? yes!
Just enough to pay the rent and food.
So don’t take cheap shots at me.
God, keep blessing and watching over the Jolie-Pitt family.
Go Brad & Angie!
according to GUINESS 2009 brad and angelina are considered the MOST POWERFUL ACTOR AND ACTRESS IN THE WORLD.
I think it’s a great act of kindness, however, lets stay factual — how many kids stick to the same moral and standards of their parents? Why do you think the world is on a slippery, downward slope (morally, etc…)… I hope for the best though.

I am so glad BAR is doing so well at the box office. Thanks jj for the new thread, I am proud of being their fan.
Love being a fan. They are a wonderful family.
This is going to create Jobs for Ethiopians thank you to Brad and Angelina.
I’m always proud to be a fan of Brad and Angie’s.
They are truly inspiring to others. There is a saying that goes “The more you give, the more you get.” Well, this couple is justly deserving of all the wonderful things that come their way.
Thanks Jared!
BAR is so funny! Go see it!!!
actually alot of kids take their roles in life after their parents. specially in HW.
You know! nothing will happen,if Zahara decides not to be the owner of this clinic. The clinic will be there with or without Zaharta,it is her chance, that her parents are giving to her to do good in the world and in her own country.
You have missed the point. It is not about Zahara,it is a about a clinic which will cure people who are suffering from HIV/AIDS. the works that this clinic is going to do for people in Ethiopia until Zahara grows up is way,way more important than whether or not she is going to be owner.
Brad Pitt has aged, he isn’t even good looking anymore. He looks trashy and cheap. He looked soooo much better when he was with his ex wife Jennifer Aniston, the one he was married to when Angelina started having an affair with him. Yes they give money to other countries to help children but they make sure we all hear about it and know what they are giving. As much money as they make together, they could give A LOT more. When they give 2 million to cause thats like me giving $200.00. Their donations don’t effect them or their lifestyles. Do they need the very expensive castle in Europe and homes all over and fly on private jets. If they want to really help, they should start right here in the USA and donate most of their earnings and live a modest lifestyle.

Ahhhh!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA. She who laughs last, laughs best.
I thought some LOSIE’s were predicted that BAR would tank at the bo. and that Righteous kill and Tyler Perry would crash (and presumably crush) BAR. It didn’t happen obviously.
Considering that O brother where art thou openned at 3.65 million and Intolerable cruelty opened at 12.5m I guess the 19.5m can’t be all attributed to Porgie. And considering that Fargo opened at 2.5m and Raising Arizona opened at 2.5m as well, I guess Frances Mcdormand, though I do like her isn’t the reason for BAR getting 19.5m (or close) for this opening weekend.
I wonder whether, perhaps, it is just possible, may be, that the movie BAR has done so well because, just may be, possibly, perhaps, could be due to Brad Pitt’s presence in the movie. His performance was after all, well received and well, he rather famous eh??
HEHEHEHEHEH
Incidentally, Intolerable Cruelty did 120m world wide. I think I stick to my earlier projections that BAR will do around 100m at least, world wide, thanks in large part to Brad Pitt.
>>>>>>>>>>>
No doubt BAR’s BO success is thanks to Brad.
very nice again I’ll give the both of you a star… maybe you can get another tattoo also for it!! I wasn’t brought up like this to tell all what you do. I’m pretty much against it. I was taught that its sacred to do things like that but keep it t o yourselves it private and personal. and I’m speaking about anyone…Its called bragging wish is not nice to do. But angie and Brad it is nice what you give to help people which is great but i feel its wrong how u both go about it…
Wow! Shannon there are so many things wrong with what you just said that I just don’t even have the energy to address every stupid thing you said, So I will just say you’re an idiot, and leave it at that.

Somebitch is worth $110M, how much of that has she donated… giving used bags for auction, showing up for some teleton and doing some commercial that she more thatn likely gets paid for because St. Jude’s pays their spokesperson. Yeah that’s most of her sallery…

Grow up. You too ellie! It is patheitic to insult people because they are doing good in the world.
And yet again, if they don’t announce it,you will accuse them of not doing it and lying.
You know! in fanistons world(which is very small,because they are very small minds people) Brad and Angelina can’t win. I bet Shannon! You haven’t seen 2 million money once,and yet you are insulting them for giving 2 million away for a good cause. Kudos to you!
Well after all you are faniston,fan of someone who donate less than 30,000 dollors after a whole week promoting herself in Oprah,you know according to Forbes,she is the rich woman in HW ,and she can’t give more than a 30000 dollors when it comes to charity.yeah? Well she is promoting smoking as well.

Wouldn’t it be nice if some celebrites actually used their fortunes help out people in their OWN country… No offense to Africa, or any other country.. but god damn, lets help our OWN cause in america , just a little.

Well Brad and Angelina do plenty for the US as well, if you care to notice instead of whining.. Hey call the red cross today to help victims of Hurricane Ike.. They could use all the help and a kind heart like yours with true concern would really be an asset. Thanks in advance.

Brad Pitt has aged, he isn’t even good looking anymore. He looks trashy and cheap. He looked soooo much better when he was with his ex wife Jennifer Aniston, the one he was married to when Angelina started having an affair with him… As much money as they make together, they could give A LOT more.
***********************************************************************
So could Jennifer Aniston. How much as Aniston given? She sits up there on her stash of $110 and all she contributes is three handbags she didn’t want any more. Talk about a selfish b*tch… that despicable cow wouldn’t even pay her own mother’s hospital bill. Guess what, honey? Brad isn’t Jennifer’s boy-toy any more. He’s not playing Ken to her Barbie any more. He’s going on 45 years old, he has a family of six children, and he’s happier than he’s ever been in his life, while your cheap-ass idol is going to die old, miserable and alone. Karma’s a b*tch, ain’t it?
Brad and Angie rock. They are so beautiful from inside and out.
