Brad Pitt & Nancy Pelosi Make It Right
Brad Pitt meets with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic Whip James Clyburn to discuss the “Make it Right” project on Thursday (March 5) in Washington, D.C.
The 45-year-old actor received their thanks for his rebuilding efforts in New Orleans. The MIR project, launched in 2007, helps to construct affordable and environmentally-sustainable housing for low-income residents of the Lower 9th Ward in New Orleans who lost their homes as a result of Hurricane Katrina.
“I just want to say thank you to the speaker for opening up her doors for us to come in and discuss the rebuilding effort, the current rebuilding effort going on in New Orleans and how we can expand this idea of affordability and sustainability because we think we have a model that works,” Brad said.
Partner Angelina Jolie is in town filming her spy flick, Salt.

Brad breaks bread with Bing

Silver screen scene
When golden boy Brad Pitt comes to town, he’s all business. He met with Energy Secretary Steven Chu on Wednesday and Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday. And on Wednesday night, he dined at Adour at the St. Regis Hotel with a large group that included Steve Bing, the real estate developer, movie producer and supporter of liberal causes and candidates. Bing’s also funding Pitt’s “Make It Right” project in New Orleans. A source tells us that other guests cycled in and out throughout the evening, and that the group enjoyed “plenty” of food and wine.
Pitt’s significant other, Angelina Jolie, wasn’t on the scene. After all, she needs her rest as she continues shooting for the upcoming spy thriller “Salt.” On Thursday, she and the crew filmed a chase scene near the Navy Memorial/Archives Metro Station on Pennsylvania Avenue. We also spotted an Angie look-alike, who was doing most of the running during the takes. A crew member told us they’ll be shooting in Georgetown on Friday.

You got that right, he’s not Clooney - he is Brad Pitt, THE BRAD PITT. THE BRAD PITT that Clooney lusts about and namedrops every chance he gets. By the way, there were pics of Clooney but then again, he’s no Brad Pitt and lacks his superstar power! :-)

So right.
I’m glad the project is getting attention in Washington. Perhaps they will see fit to allocate funds to this worthwhile project which can create more jobs.
Pelosi the woman from HELL
SHe’s an idiot. Did u see her at Obama’s speech. She was so unprofessional. He is like why am I next to her????
Too funny. The troll will throw everything and everybody at BP and AJ. BP and AJ are the gold standards in celebrities making a difference. They are good people. If other celebs aspire to help and be more like BP and AJ, it is all good. Many of them are merely sitting on their cash and using it for PR manipulations and the same ole hairstyle. So compare on trolls, you are on a BP and AJ reading about their projects. So the word is getting out there.
i hear hens screaming.hmmm…
Brad is doing a great job. He and Angelina are on Top of everything.Are they even human?You gotta love them.
Thank God for Mr and Mrs Smith.And a big thank you to Nicole Kidman for dropping out of the movie.
God bless the JP.
Pitt is a freaking hypocrite!!!. Would someone tell his publicist to stop posting that ‘good man speech’, we’re not buying it.
You are on BP and AJ thread troll. You took the time to read and learn. It is all good. Just think you could be commenting on Hair and casual style instead of reading about a worthy project.
He has creepy perv eyes. that stare is freaking me out. OMG! is he on something that’s making him look that way. EWWWW
I am sure he was uncomfortable asking for money but this something he needs to do in order to realized his vision. I applaud Brad Pitt immensely. He has a vision and we need more people like him these days. When he was asked by F. Gehry in CR of where is he taking his love of architecture and he replied that he wants to be part of the new wave in architecture (or something like that). He is on to something innovative here. As the previous poster said, this can be an opportunity for NOLA for tourism. I recently visited Berlin and all those architectural giants’ works are testament that a city with a history could rebuild itself. To some it is easy to put a person down. But who cares, even if with this vision of BP will only help one man, it is still one less man to suffer.
Btw, the blurb was from the dcexaminer – posted the link but disappeared in mod limbo, I guess.
Brad Pitt is the most beautiful man ever.
wow,why is this troll so angry about the MIR foundation?the troll has no love for the people in NO.shame on you stupid troll.
Speaking of Harry Connick. Brad Pitt is not the only one doing some good in new orleans but he’s the only one who seems to need a pat on the back for it.

Capitol Hill goes gaga over Brad Pitt
By LAURIE KELLMAN
WASHINGTON (AP) — First of all, no, Brad Pitt is not short. Yes, he’s handsome enough to stand out in any crowd. And, sorry, Angie wasn’t with him.
From the moment he stepped into the Capitol on Thursday, sunglassed and goateed, Pitt’s star power transformed congressional business-as-usual in a way any lawmaker or new president might envy.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was not immune to his charms. Praising Pitt for his work to rebuild New Orleans’ hurricane-ravaged 9th Ward, she even allowed that meeting him affords her “bragging rights to my children and my grandchildren — a real treat for me as well.”
The Power of Pitt drained entire congressional offices of their female employees and quite a few male aides as well, all of whom could be picked out by the way they suddenly appeared in the Senate’s doorways and halls, nonchalantly cupping cell phones and cameras at their sides and hanging around waiting news crews.
Finally, around 1:30 p.m., Pitt, four aides and assorted security guards climbed out of a darkened SUV at the Capitol’s north gate and strolled across the sun-dappled plaza.
As he approached the building, all nonchalance inside disappeared. Was he coming in the carriage entrance? No! He was coming through the North Door.
And so he did, entering through the famous Brumidi corridor, whose ornate and historic paintings he probably couldn’t see through his sunglasses. Reporters, photographers and giggling staffers shuffled after him, up a flight of stairs and around a corner toward Reid’s office. As Pitt entered the parlor, he took off his shades. An aide closed the door behind him.
Inside with Reid, Pitt made an earnest case for nationalizing his “Make It Right New Orleans” campaign, in partnership with Congress, according to a second knowledgeable aide who spoke on condition that he not be named because the meeting was private.
Afterward, this official said, Reid and Pitt posed for pictures, the senator cracking, “How will people tell us apart?”
Outside the door, grinning Capitol Police officers put up ropes to keep the hordes out of the path Pitt was expected to take toward his next meeting, with Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., in a building across the street.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the Judiciary Committee chairman who has appeared as himself in several “Batman” movies and even had a speaking line in “The Dark Knight,” stumbled across the crowd gathered outside Reid’s door.
Told who was inside, Leahy issued a giddy, “Gosh!” and kept walking.
In the end, Pitt and his entourage slipped out a side door and took an elevator to the basement subway.
oh Brad I am proud of being your fan. You rock.
Why do I bother.. but here goes… this thread is not about how great Brad looks, it is about his effort to help people who were forgotten by their government. I remember reading Kennedy’s speech..Ask not what your country can do for you.. Ask what you can do for your country..
I admire the fact that he saw a problem and did something. I am sure the families that have a second chance are not looking at their home as a fake. I’m sure they don’t care that people want to take Brad’s picture. I’m sure that they are thankful that after 3 years he is still dedicated to this project. He has not forgotten them. He is keeping NOLA in the news. Note all the other places that were devastated by storms and fire. We don’t hear about them. But because of Brad and others we still hear about NOLA. If other celebs would make an effort projects like this would help people all over the country. And no he is not phoning it in. He is not just showing up for pictures like so many others do. He is actively involved in MIR. So say what you want.. Don’t diminish what good a person is doing because you have some unreasonable dislike of them. I say unreasonable because they have done nothing to you personally.
Oh and on a final note.. Brad does look damn hot!!!!!!!

Has anyone seen the pic of Mad and Pax at Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum?
World-famous tabloid tots Maddox and Pax Jolie-Pitt roaming the Air and Space Museum yesterday morning, attracting throngs of photo-snapping tourists who nonetheless kept a respectful distance (maybe something to do with the security guard by their side). Maddox, 6, wore a navy blue hoodie; Pax, 4, wore an olive green jacket; asked a lot of questions as they toured Space Hall, Skylab and the WWI and WWII exhibits. The brothers came to D.C. with their mother, Angelina Jolie, who had business here with last night’s Vital Voices Global Leadership Awards gala and at the Council on Foreign Relations today.

Too true and thanks for the post. I admire BP’s dedication to New Orleans and the people of the Gulf Coast. I don’t recall the troll whining about the last administration and “Brownie you are doing a heck of a job”.

Papa Brad looks mighty hot and is doing a fantastic thing for people in NOLA.
Brad is so handsome. This man gets hotter as he ages, matures, and I’m glad he fell in love with a beautiful woman.
