Families move into homes that Pitt built :)

By STACEY PLAISANCE - 17 minutes ago

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - It was a bittersweet moment for Brad Pitt, walking through the Lower 9th Ward neighborhood where families were preparing to spend their first holidays since Hurricane Katrina.

Those families are moving into the first six houses built through Pitt’s Make It Right foundation. One home was already strewn with green garland, lights, wreaths and red bows.

Still, Pitt is restless.

“I’m really happy for the families that are going to be here, but I can’t help but think about the families that aren’t,” Pitt said Monday. “It’s a push-pull for me. The excitement is that it’s being proven, that it’s working. The frustration is that we have a long way to go.”

Make It Right was launched by Pitt a year ago. The program calls for construction of 150 energy-efficient homes in a section of New Orleans washed away when Katrina broke levees Aug. 29, 2005.

So far, six homes have been built. Two more are under way, and construction on another 14 begins in early 2009. Pitt smiles, gets a little giddy even, when talking about where the project will be in another year.

“You’re going to see 100 homes here, mark my words,” he said. “It’s nice to see a few, but I’m anxious to see 100, 150, 1,000.”

Pitt said that by December 2009, the Lower 9th Ward should be one of the nation’s largest “green” neighborhoods.

“It’s amazing,” he said. “This place that suffered such injustice and so much death can become one of the primary examples of a high-performance neighborhood. It really is amazing.”

Inez Converse, 71, isn’t concerned about her area setting any records. She’s just happy to be back in the neighborhood she lived in for more than 35 years before Katrina. And she said she was glad she had the chance to thank Pitt personally.

“He didn’t have to do this,” she said. “I’m just grateful he is doing it.”

Monday was a busy day for Pitt and partner Angelina Jolie, who appeared at a screening of Pitt’s new film “The Curious case of Benjamin Button.” The couple - Pitt in a suit and tie and Jolie in a form-fitting cream L’Wren Scott dress - was the highlight of the red-carpet event.

The film, which also stars Cate Blanchett, opens Dec. 25. But because it was filmed in New Orleans in 2006 and 2007, Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. held a special screening here.

“It’s a gorgeous, gorgeous film,” said Pitt, who in the movie plays a man who begins life as elderly and grows younger with time. “It’s a film that makes you want to hug your kids and call your folks.”

Pitt also described the movie as “a love letter to New Orleans.”

“There’s a sense of magic here, so it made this fantastic story almost believable,” he said.

Pitt said his fondness for the city led him and Jolie to buy an early-1830s masonry mansion in the French Quarter. Pitt said the home was recently renovated to accommodate the needs of the couple and their six children. He quashed recent rumors that the couple had sold their home.

While the homes built by Pitt’s project are more contemporary than the Creole cottages and shotgun-style homes typical of New Orleans, they incorporate some elements used in the area for generations, such as high ceilings and shaded porches.

The homes also have solar panels and other features that help cut energy bills by at least 75 percent, Pitt said. Other architectural elements addresses challenges of the area, including ventilation and mold- and termites-resistant materials.

“The misunderstanding of architecture is that it’s all about aesthetics,” Pitt said. “It’s not. First and foremost, it’s about function.”

The homes, costing $150,000 on average, are for property owners who can pay insurance and taxes. Monthly payments are based on applicants’ income and subsidized by Pitt’s foundation.

Pitt said his motivation to see this project through stems from a lot of things, among them his “love for architecture, a love for technology, a love for fairness and justice.” But it also stems from his love “for all things New Orleans.”

“There’s just something about this place,” he said.

Muska @ 12/02/2008 at 3:29 pm I’d like to see Brad hook up with a big juicy BBW for his next mate. He deserves someone whose milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, not the straw you slurp it threw.

YOU SOUND LIKE CLOONEY NOW!

Across The Nation | Angelina Jolie, Condoleezza Rice, Hillary Rodham Clinton Call for More Efforts To Fight AIDS at Global Business Coalition Awards
[Sep 29, 2005]

Actress Angelina Jolie, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday at the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS Annual Awards for Business Excellence Gala at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., were on hand to honor six businesses for their contributions to fighting the HIV/AIDS pandemic and called for increased efforts to prevent the spread of the disease, the AP/Washington Post reports. Rodham Clinton “drew loud applause” from the crowd when she called on the Bush administration and Congress to acknowledge the importance of condom use in the fight against HIV/AIDS. “There is a great deal of political pressure to only talk about abstinence and to deny support for condoms and education on using them,” Rodham Clinton said, adding, “This policy will lead to the unnecessary deaths of many people.” She said that women and girls are increasingly at risk of contracting HIV, especially in hard-hit countries. In her remarks to the crowd, Rice said that public-private partnerships are essential in preventing the spread of HIV and praised the bipartisan cooperation in Congress in support of funding prevention programs. Jolie, who is a goodwill ambassador for the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, called on countries to pledge more to the cause, saying that the failure to properly address the disease internationally “is a disgrace” (Lester, AP/Washington Post, 9/28). The winners of the 2005 GBC Awards for Business Excellence included Volkswagen South Africa receiving the Workplace Award, Getty Images receiving the Innovation Award, M•A•C Cosmetics honored for the Core Competency Award, Bristol-Myers Squibb receiving the Community Award, Virgin Unite honored for the Leadership Award, and De Beers receiving the Testing and Counseling Award (GBC release, 9/27).

Interviews With Jolie, GBC Director Neilson, GBC CEO Holbrooke
Jolie on Wednesday in a CNN interview compared spending for the fight against HIV/AIDS with spending for the war in Iraq, saying that the U.S. war budget far exceeds the amount being spent to fight the disease, AFP/News24.com reports. “I’m not saying I’m for or against war, but the amount that is spent every month, being, I think they said, $5 billion, and to … realize that we’re spending $15 billion on AIDS, for over, what is it? Three years, five years?” Jolie told CNN. GBC Executive Director Trevor Neilson in the interview said, “We’re trying to call on the world’s business community to better respond to the AIDS pandemic and trying to use business leaders to put pressure on government to do more” (AFP/News 24.com, 9/29). GBC President and CEO Ambassador Richard Holbrooke on Wednesday in an interview with Fox News’ “Your World with Neil Cavuto” said that the key to fighting HIV/AIDS worldwide “is prevention, prevention, prevention,” which he said includes condom use, abstinence, “particularly for young girls, and all sorts of obvious things.” Holbrooke added that people “must be tested” so they can know their HIV status and are able to take steps to prevent transmission (Cavuto, “Your World with Neil Cavuto,” Fox News, 9/28).

A kaisernetwork.org HealthCast of the GBC gala will be available online after 3 p.m. ET.
