OlderAngelina Jolie is a Celebrity Do-Gooder
Angelina Jolie recently topped Reuters’ celebrity do-gooder poll for both her work as a U.N. goodwill ambassador and raising awareness of suffering in Africa.
On the bottom of the list? Fellow adoptive mother Madonna! The Queen of Pop was voted the least respected celebrity altruist of 2007 because of claims she used her fame and wealth to circumvent Malawian adoption rules.
“People aren’t stupid,” said Peter Walker, director of the Feinstein International Famine Center at Tufts University. “They can really sense when it’s just an endorsement and when somebody really means it. Someone like Angelina Jolie comes across as having more integrity than some celebrities and a greater sense that she doesn’t just do this for the publicity.”
One voter in the poll hurled quite the insult: “Madonna seems to do philanthropy the way she’s done Indian culture, sex and just about everything — like a disposable fad.”
Ouch!
Brad Pitt, Mia Farrow and Don Cheadle also won praise for their advocacy on behalf of Sudan’s war-torn Darfur region.

Angelina is a compassionate person without a cause… her charity begins with her heart…
Ditto on the voter who wrote such a lucid statement re: Madonna… FAKE, FAKE, FAKE… there’s not much substance behind all the well engineered facades…

To Big Deal,
Sorry. YOU care. You are here with us. LOL!
It looks like it says Angelina is a goody too shoes.
Angelina is a celebrity humanitarian.
This “do-gooder” moniker has to go. Nobody called Audrey Hepburn or Paul Newman a do-gooder……….
Thanks Peter Walker, you finally said what I have been wanting to say.
Madonna is so fake. We the people are NOT STUPID to see through Madonna.
Congratulation Angie. This poll is the true poll that sees the truth. Angie is the real deal, and so is Brad. Love this couple.
Thanks Jared for this thread.
Angie is hotter than ever…..
I’m a die hard fan.
Brad Pitt, Mia Farrow and Don Cheadle also won praise for their advocacy on behalf of Sudan’s war-torn Darfur region.

Why are you here? It must be a BIG DEAL TO YOU or you wouild not try to shoot it down.
I’m happy that again Brad and Angelina are getting praise for their charity’s works.well done super couple.
Thanks JJ
it truly shows that Angelina is not just a hollywood celebrity but a person who cares for other people and their well being. good for her.
This person didn’t have to be so harsh regarding Madonna. If he had bothered to do any investigation he would have found that Madonna has been an advocate for AIDS research and an avid supporter of the GMHC for the past 20 years. She was ahead of everyone.
