Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Donate Toward Somali Aid

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Donate Toward Somali Aid

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have donated $340,000 to a Somali aid group.

The donation to Humanitarian Initiative Just Relief Aid from the power couple will allow the group to expand its reach – the group currently serves 300 women and children in a camp in Mogadishu for displaced persons.

The UN states that 750,000 people are at risk of starving to death in the next few years – Somalia is currently in the midst of its worst famine in 60 years, Yahoo reports.

From: Unicef

Over 702,000 Somali refugees have flocked to Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti, while another 750,000 people are at risk of starving to death in the next few months, according to the United Nations. Aid agencies stepped up their rescue and fundraising efforts this week, as celebrities Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie donated $340,000 to help expand health services to displaced mothers and children. The Horn of Africa nation has suffered its worst famine in 60 years. In the latest “crisis situation” report from the UN, over 1,000 people a day were found to be fleeing across the border from Somalia into Kenya. UNICEF launched a new appeal (see video below) urging people to support some 13 million people in need of food in the drought inflicted #hornofafrica.

First.. I will say THANKS JARED… THANKS JARED

I posted this on the old thread..

I love this quote by Anthony Hopkins.. He is a class act.
I remember years earlier he presented her an award. And his words about her were so similar to what Clint has said. I love when older men recognize this quality in younger women. They are of another time. And know class when they see it. There are so many quotes out there from other people about Angie and Brad.. and I have never seen a negative one.
Anthony Hopkins on Angie: (promoting Beowulf)
“We’ve never worked together. This morning was the first time I’ve done press with her. She’s lovely. I was honored to be on Good Morning America with her. She’s very nice. She’s really kind of shy. But I haven’t worked with her. She’s wonderful. I thought the last thing she did about Daniel Pearl (on A Mighty Heart) was just terrific. All her work is extraordinary. She’s a wonderful actress.“Sex appeal, the power of magnetism, star quality is something that can’t be bought or acquired or cultivated. It’s something they’re born with, and Angelina has it in abundance.”
“She’s one of the most beautiful women in the world and she’s so smart and easygoing.
No starry nonsense about her,” he said.
“I think the same with Brad [Pitt], they seem to be very nice people.”
I love how people that have met them and talked to them all say great things. So in light of that.. who cares about the trolls that are posting things from their trailer parks. They have not made any difference in the lives of Brad or Angie in all these years. NOT one difference.

My favorite charitable couple. Love them more and more. Proud to be their fan. The people of Somalia need all the help they can get glad Brad and Angie know that. They walk the walk and talk the talk.

Again, continuing to walk the walk. Angelina was just talking about the dire need in the Horn of Africa and they step up to the plate, as they always do. Seemingly, taking the lead.

Bringing this over from the other thread:

@Jennipoo:

Snap! Too damn funny.

Look at Squiggy, he’s not wearing skinny girl jeans from hip to tip. The pants he’s wearing now, just make him look like he’s got womanly hips.

I guess he forgot the memo. He’s not to look surly in photographs. He’ll be all smiling again next time we see him. Or better yet, when his pedo pal, Terry Richardson, takes their pics.

And Squiggy doesn’t know how to do his hair like Chris M. did it. You know, to look like Brad’s. Problem for Squiggy, he’s got a big ole bald spot. Brad doesn’t.

Great, finally. 3 days late, as opposed to the ‘less than 12 hr rule’ for man, but we’ll take it.
.
Just a comment I wanted to make since Oprah’s pic is on this page. Did anyone see her interview on ET, the pimped it for days, she was being sit down interviewed by a brunette reporter who was mostly asking azzlicking questions (she was hawking her upcoming show on OWN as well as Rosies I believe) – anyway the reporter asked her what makes her angry…Oprah thought about it, and then she said: ‘when I get lied to. Oooh, if i catch you in a lie…you will see me lose my pleasing personality. I will turn cold.’ the woman says, ‘just disassociate?’ Oprah goes, ‘yeah.’ she went on to say she values authenticity in people, and was talking about Rosie ‘that woman (referring to Aniston) has nothing to say’ O’donnell.
.
Maybe it’s just me…but I have a very intuitive vibe, and I got the STRONG feeling she was referring to among many who had probably disappointed her by lying to her face, Jennifer Aniston. For the simple reason that I know of at least 5 instances where she as lied DIRECTLY to oprahs’s face:
.
1) the Vince Vaughn were still together shenanigans 2) the bit about her and brad ‘don’t not talk,’ 3) lying to Oprah about the Obama change cake, and having Mayer and Oprah put her on blast..yeah Oprah was being jokey jokey, but she was serious when she called her out as a liar..and it was such an unnecessary stupid lie too, just designed to make herself look good. Ugh. 4) the ‘uncool’ comment saying that was because of what Angie said while promoting changeling, when traniston states clearly that it was because of jolie’s comment in a 2007 Vogue. ..and 5) just basically being disingenuous about that whole faux catfight issue if vogue, telling Oprah on her show ‘that it was so 100 years ago, that no one was a villain, and that she loved and admired brad,’ and then in her subsequent GQ interview, attacking Angelina all over again, essentially making a fool of Oprah having taken her word just a couple weeks before….and I’ll add a 6th disappointing disingenuous moment, Aniston pal’ing around with someone as awful as Chelsea handjob, who publicly viciously attacked Angelina….
.
I personally think Maniston and Oprah haven’t been tight since the Obama change cake incident….and her stalking brad and Angie to the oscars.
.
Maybe I give Oprah to much credit…but I just get that vibe, that she has her number…now.
