Brad Pitt speaks at the Clinton Global Initiative Fifth Annual Meeting at the Sheraton Hotel on Thursday (September 24) in New York City.

The 45-year-old actor gave an update on his Make It Right Foundation, an eco-friendly organization working to re-build devastated parts of New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina.

“I don’t know how we build any other way anywhere else,” Brad said. “We can no longer tell ourselves that implementing this technology is too complex a problem because it’s just been proven on this little spot on the map.”

American journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling arrive back to their families after being released by North Korean authorities yesterday.

“Thirty hours ago,” Laura said at a California airplane hangar. “Euna Lee and I were prisoners in North Korea. We feared that at any moment we would end up in a hard-labor camp. Then we were told that we were going to a meeting. We were taken to a location, and when we walked thought the doors, we saw standing before us President Bill Clinton. We were shocked, but we knew that the nightmare of our lives would soon be over.”

Laura and Euna, of San Francisco based Current TV, were both arrested by North Korea in March for illegally entering the country on the Chinese border and in June, were sentenced to 12 years in prison. Yesterday, they were pardoned by President Kim Jong-Il after a meeting with former President Bill Clinton.

American journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee have been pardoned from all charges by North Korean leader Kim Jong Il.

Former president Bill Clinton returned to high-profile diplomacy and made a special trip to North Korea on Tuesday (August 4) in hopes of having Laura and Euna released.

Clinton offered “words of sincere apology” to Kim Jong Il, who issued a special pardon under North Korea’s “humanitarian and peace-loving policy.”

In June, Laura and Euna were sentenced to 12 years in labor prison by North Korea’s Central Court for “committing hostilities against the Korean nation and illegal entry.”

Laura (pictured right inset) is the sister of Lisa Ling, former co-host of The View. Thanks, Bill!!!

As reported yesterday, Former President Bill Clinton met up with Brad Pitt to greet volunteers and break ground for new homes in the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans, Lousiana on Sunday.

Clinton hosted his Clinton Global Initiative University while Pitt represented his Make It Right Foundation, which he founded.

Clinton said, “The way to really get New Orleans all the way back and all the way back in a hurry is to rebuild in the right way and make it a long-term, five- to six-year commitment, to create a much higher base level of jobs through this whole energy efficiency endeavor.”

Chelsea Clinton gets lei’d by a few dozen natives as she arrives in Maui, Hawaii on Sunday to campaign for her mother, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

The 27-year-old former first daughter (and possible future first daughter) did her best to dance hula after she arrived.

“I’m sorry if I embarrassed you with my hula efforts,” Chelsea said.

Hillary may have a hard time winning the Democratic primary this week in Hawaii, as her opponent Barack Obama was born and raised in the Aloha State.

Chelsea Clinton gets down and dirty, sitting on the filthy floor of a Starbucks location in Midtown Manhattan on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old daughter and only child of former US President Bill Clinton and United States Senator Hillary Clinton was able to grab a cup of Starbucks coffee unnoticed but didn’t have any luck finding a seat. Chelsea resorted to sitting on the floor in front of an emergency door and started typing away on her laptop. We hope she had some butt sanitizer handy!

Chelsea reportedly still lives in the Gramercy area of Manhattan.

DO YOU THINK Chelsea is on her way back to the White House?
