Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt donate $340K to Somali refugee relief

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt donate $340K to Somali refugee relief
Last week, Angelina Jolie was in Geneva to pick up an award in recognition of her decade with the United Nations High Commission on Refugees - she?s been goodwill ambassador since 2001. Jolie also helped give out a prestigious award to a Yemeni humanitarian organization. Later, we found out that Jolie was also in discussions to take on a new role at the UN - that of Special Representative to the Afghan Refugee crisis.

In between all of this diplomacy and awards-receiving and giving, Angelina also took a moment to issue a statement on the ongoing crisis in Somalia. Now, putting her money where her mouth is, Angelina (and Brad) have donated $340,000 to Humanitarian Initiative Just Relief Aid, an organization that provides ?health services to Somali.? Apparently, Jolie and Pitt are directing the money specifically to woman and children who have been left refugees by Somali?s long-standing inner-turmoil, and the organization?s spokesperson said that the money will help expand ?the Badbaado health services clinic which helps 300 people per day.? Here?s Angelina?s statement on the Somali crisis from last week:

UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie on Tuesday urged the international community to scale up its efforts to deal with the crisis in the Horn of Africa, saying the lives of hundreds of thousands of refugees depended on it.

In a speech in Geneva to the annual meeting of UNHCR’s governing Executive Committee, or ExCom, the celebrated Hollywood actress described the situation in Somalia and surrounding countries as “the humanitarian crisis of a generation” and said further help was urgently needed.

“Today, three-quarters of a million people are at risk of death in the next four months in the Horn of Africa,” she said. “The work we are doing needs to scale up to meet the needs of these individuals. How we continue to respond to this period of malnutrition and famine is going to define the work of those NGOs, governments, and international organizations working in the Horn of Africa. It will, quite starkly, determine whether a huge number of people live or die.”

Her remarks came as news reports from the Somali capital, Mogadishu, said dozens of people had been killed in a suicide bomb blast near a government ministry. Jolie also urged the Executive Committee’s member states to remain committed to helping the world’s refugees despite the global environment of increasing economic and financial pressures.

“The challenges that UNHCR confronts to provide for refugees are immense and growing. The rich countries of the world are increasingly feeling budgetary constraints at home. They face pressures to reduce rather than maintain their current and promised levels of aid funding,” she said during her first address to ExCom, which reviews and approves UNHCR’s programmes and budget, advises on protection issues and discusses a wide range of other topics.?

“Nevertheless, we hope that these governments will remain committed to the cause of the world’s most vulnerable people, while we recognize and are grateful to them for their generosity,” added Jolie, who also expressed gratitude on Tuesday to countries hosting refugees.

[From the UNHCR?s press release]

I believe it was also confirmed by the UNHCR that Jolie will definitely be taking the ?Special Representative? position, which honestly does make her the Richard Holbrooke of refugees. The position should also get her significant face time with all of the NATO leaders, which should be interesting.

Brad Pitt's "Moneyball": In Theaters Now!
Added 13 years agoSource: Celebrity Gossip
Brad Pitt's
Offering up the big screen adaption of the Michael Lewis book, Brad Pitt's "Moneyball" arrives in theaters today (September 23).

The sports based flick tells "the story of Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane's successful attempt to put together a baseball club on a budget by employing computer-generated analysis to draft his players."

In addition to Pitt's A-list prowess, the film also features co-stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright and Jonah Hill.

During a recent interview with Nation Post, Brad dished about the movie and how it provokes a new way of thinking, as he explained, "You understand that, sometimes when we?ve been doing it one way for so long, we forget to question why. Why are there norms? And what was the original context?"

Brad Pitt spends most of his 'Today' interview talking about Jennifer Aniston

Brad Pitt spends most of his 'Today' interview talking about Jennifer Aniston
As we talked about exhaustively yesterday, Brad Pitt is still talking, still issuing non-apologies and clarifications and commenting in general about ?Commentgate? or ?Paradegate? or whatever the Anistonloonies are calling Brad?s Parade Mag interview. If you?d like to review yesterday?s exhaustive coverage, go here and here and here. Basically, Team Aniston thinks Brad only disrespected his marriage to Jen because he?s totally jealous of her new, hot relationship with ?artistic? Justin Theroux. Team Jolie thinks Brad shouldn?t have apologized at all because now he?s spending all of this time talking about Aniston, Jolie?s arch-nemesis. Team Pitt thinks… God knows. I think Team Pitt just wants him to STFU for two seconds.

Page Six has an interesting/sad-making piece about the Anistonloonie fatwa against Brad and against Moneyball, with ?movie insiders? wondering aloud if Brad hurt his popularity amongst women:

Despite Oscar buzz, some close to the Sony release are worried that Team Jen?s female following may be turned off by ?Moneyball,? which opens Friday. It wasn?t clear in the first place if women would head out in droves to see a picture about the 2002 Oakland A?s and their general manager, Billy Beane.

?Interest is all male,? said a studio honcho, adding ?They?ve tried to hide its subject matter, but it is what it is. They have a little older female interest. But younger females, forget it, that?s just not happening.?

When Extra posed the question, ?Are you excited to see this film?,? on Facebook, angry comments were mostly sparked by Anistongate. ?NOPE. I don?t like what he said about Jennifer … he went down a big notch!,? wrote one. Another raged, ?Not after his stupid remarks about his marriage to Jennifer Aniston. I?ll never watch anything he is in again … LOSER.?

Meanwhile, Us Weekly reported that Aniston?s reps ?went ballistic? and ?angrily reached out to Pitt?s camp? to force an apology from him. She?s since made a point of being photographed smiling and enjoying herself with new beau Justin Theroux in New York this week.

A rep for Aniston said the ?Us story for the most part is untrue. We all know that this is the working of the tabloid world to generate drama that doesn?t exist.?

[From Page Six]

A rep for Aniston told Page Six that ?this is the working of the tabloid world to generate drama that doesn?t exist.? Right after the rep for Aniston leaked more information to Us Weekly about the house that Aniston and Theroux are renting and how they?re apartment-hunting together in NYC, and how Aniston believes that Justin is ?the one?. Meanwhile, Brad?s full Today Show interview is now available for viewing:

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Once again, Brad says, ?I don’t know what was pieced together [in the Parade interview]? It’s a shame that I can’t say something nice about Angie without Jen being drug in. You know, she doesn’t deserve it? I don’t want them to say anything bad like that about Jen. She’s a dear friend of mine.” Brad also denies that Jennifer called him over the interview, saying, ?No. But she’s also a seasoned veteran and she knows. You know, and she’s a valuable person. We spent seven years together. Come on.”

Us Weekly has a new piece where ?an Aniston insider? (perhaps the insider is her rep who knows ?the working of the tabloid world [is] to generate drama that doesn?t exist?) says that Brad and Jennifer are NOT still friends: ?They don’t talk. She will always think of him as a jerk…She’s 100 percent not speaking to him. He can apologize. But these are two people you will never see in the same room together.” Unless that room is that Kodak Theatre and Jennifer is once again invited to be a presenter (surprise!) the same year Brad and/or Angelina is nominated for an Oscar.

Here?s an honest-to-God question, Anistonloonies: why does Aniston get to DIRECTLY talk about Brad, Angelina (?uncool?), AND their children in the press for years and years, in interview after interview, but everybody freaks out when Brad makes a reference to how unfulfilled he was a decade ago?

Brad Pitt goes solo to the premiere of 'Moneyball?: where was Angelina'

Brad Pitt goes solo to the premiere of 'Moneyball?:   where was Angelina'
These are some new photos of the Moneyball premiere/sausage-party last night in Oakland. Surprisingly, Brad Pitt did not show up with Angelina Jolie. This bothers me. I mean, I?m not sitting here thinking, ?Ooh, TROUBLE, I bet Angelina stormed out or Brad Pitt stormed out and now the gerbils will be left parentless!? I?m bothered that Brad Pitt did the solo outing because in the wake of his Parade interview (here and here for our coverage), I?m concerned that Brad is making it look like he thinks Angelina is a liability to him in his Oscar campaign. Which? maybe she is, maybe she isn?t. But Brad said what he said in Parade, and Angelina didn?t have anything to do with that interview, so why not just show the world a united front? It would have been smarter to do the carpet together. Eh, whatever.

More photos?here?s screenwriter/script-fixer Aaron Sorkin, looking rather dapper. Is it okay if I admit that I?m attracted to Aaron Sorkin? I think he?s kind of pompous and stuff, but I kind of want to hatef–k him.

Here?s Chris Pratt? reviewers say that he?s a scene-stealer. He?s cute too.

Jonah Hill, looking kind of creepy.

And my boyfriend, Philip Seymour Hoffman. He?s so beautiful. I would nail it to the wall.

Brad Pitt's Sports Illustrated cover: leather-fug or strikingly hot'

Brad Pitt's Sports Illustrated cover: leather-fug or strikingly hot'
Note: I?ll have the photos from the Moneyball premiere up in a few moments. This post is just about Brad?s appearance on the October issue of Sports Illustrated.

Okay, so? how terrible is this cover? Brad Pitt is one of the few non-athletes to ever get a cover of Sports Illustrated, and this is what?s done to him? He looks like a piece of leather. It actually reminds me of those odd, too-close-for-comfort photos Chuck Close did of Brad for an issue of W Magazine a few years ago. Normally, the camera loves Brad, but sometimes? the camera gets too close, or the Photoshop wizards get overzealous, and something awful happens. Anyway, some highlights from SI:

He plays a baseball coach in the upcoming Moneyball, but Brad Pitt is anything but experienced in America’s favorite pastime.

“It’s shameful how little I know about baseball ? I’m amazed they let me do this movie,” Pitt, 47, tells Sports Illustrated in this week’s cover story, which will hit newsstands on Wednesday.

“Baseball and I didn’t get along that well,” he adds. “I wrestled one year [in high school]. I dove one year. Everything but baseball.”

What drew him to the role, says Pitt: “I’m a sucker for the underdog story.”

Pitt, who also graced last week’s cover of Entertainment Weekly and Parade Magazine is one of just a handful of non-sports figures to grace the cover of the sports magazine.

Former cover subjects include Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Stephen Colbert, Bob Hope, Ed Sullivan, Steve McQueen, Arnold Schwarzenegger, John F. Kennedy, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton.

[From People]

I kind of like Brad for not pretending that he?s some baseball super-fan. Some men just don?t get into it - most of my dude friends, past and present, have only really given a crap about basketball, and they ignore football and baseball and everything else except women?s tennis (obviously).

Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly released some additional excerpts of Brad?s cover story for? last week?s issue? Right? Anyway, Brad totally denies that whole ?Brad Pitt saved a woman?s life, is a saint just like Angelina? story:

EW: I just read about how you rescued an extra on the set. Congratulations on that.

Brad Pitt: I have no idea what you?re talking about.

Seriously? It was all over the Internet.

I make a point of not seeing that stuff.

An extra fell down and was going to get trampled, but you swooped in on a horse and it was very gallant.

On a horse? I haven?t been on a horse. There are no horses in the movie.

Okay, forget the horse?maybe I?m drunk. But you came and saved her somehow and it was very gallant.

That?s bulls?. Listen, when someone falls down, you?re going to help.

Honestly? If I were a movie star, I would send one of my assistants.

Listen, a lot of our scenes are with masses of people. We?ve had several scenes where people have fallen down.

Have you saved any lives at all?

I have not saved any lives, okay? People fall and twist ankles?the extras have really been giving it. And you don?t want people to get hurt. If I?m not the first one there, someone else is.

Not to take anything away from your rescue, but I think Kate Winslet saving Richard Branson?s mother was a little more heroic.

[Laughs] I did see that.

[From EW]

It sounds like Brad did lift someone to safety, but he doesn?t really consider that ?saving a life? - which is nice. It?s nice that he?s humble, and it?s nice that he?s realistic.

Oh, and did you know that Brad’s Moneyball character is doing chewing tobacco throughout the movie? Ugh. Brad confirmed: “That came easily. I grew up with a little dip.?

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie: 45 Park Lane Lovers!
Added 13 years agoSource: Celebrity Gossip
Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie: 45 Park Lane Lovers!
With his "World War Z" filming duties moving to England's capital city, Brad Pitt was alongside partner Angelina Jolie in London on Sunday morning (September 18).

The "Se7en" stud was clad in all-black while his "Changeling" actress wife opted for a gray look upon exiting the 45 Park Lane hotel after spending the night at the posh locale.

The sighting comes as Pitt recently interviewed with Entertainment Weekly about a range of topics including his joint "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" effort with Jolie, as he told, ?A husband and wife who actually want to kill each other?I thought that was a launching pad for something really fun and vibrant. Again, that was something we were developing as we were going along, and Angie?s a great partner in that. We work really well together. We had some good workshops beforehand. Had some good laughs and ideas. That was just a great collaboration that turned into a greater collaboration.?

Also addressing the possibility of working alongside his lady in the future, the 47-year-old dished, ?We should be doing them together?that?s what we should be doing. We should be doing everything together, and then we could work less. We could have more time off.?

Brad Pitt backtracks: 'It is not that Jen was dull, but?'
Added 13 years agoSource: CeleBitchy
Brad Pitt backtracks: 'It is not that Jen was dull, but?'
There are a lot of people (Anistonloonies) who are still upset about Brad Pitt?s interview in this Sunday?s Parade Magazine. It seems that SEVEN YEARS LATER, Brad still isn?t allowed to talk about HIS issues in his marriage to Jennifer Aniston and why he?s so much happier and more fulfilled in his partnership with Angelina Jolie. I have many theories as to why Brad said what he said and why Aniston?s fan girls are screaming and yelling about his comments. But that?s a conversation for another time, and I think the 400+ comments on that post are evidence enough that The Unholy, Uncool, Bermuda Triangle of Tabloid Ridiculousness is still obscenely relevant. To review, these are the relevant quotes from Brad:

?I spent the ?90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic. It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn?t living an interesting life myself,? he continues. ?I think that my marriage had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn?t.?

?I put much more emphasis on being a satisfied man. I?m satisfied with making true choices and finding the woman I love, Angie, and building a family that I love so much. A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss. ? That?s the trade-off. But I?ll take it all.?

?One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom,? he tells Parade. ?She is such a great mom. Oh, man, I?m so happy to have her.?

[From Parade]

I still don?t understand why people (Anistonloonies) think Brad was making this all about Jennifer. His words were chosen with surprising care, and talk about his own ?pathetic? feelings. However, Brad must have figured out that his comments were creating a backlash amongst *some* people. So he issued a carefully-worded back-track:

“It grieves me that this was interpreted this way. Jen is an incredibly giving, loving, and hilarious woman who remains my friend. It is an important relationship I value greatly. The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was becoming dull to myself — and that, I am responsible for,” Pitt said in the statement.

[From Reuters]

?And now I respect Brad less because he defended Aniston?s ?not dull? honor. He should have just let the comments stay out there, without any hedging. Granted, I think he?s just clarifying something that I already felt - it wasn?t an attack on Aniston, but just his description of where HE was emotionally at a certain point in time.

?Or is Brad?s hedge so carefully worded that it?s just going to add more fuel to the Anistonloonie flame-war? If you really parse it, ?The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was becoming dull to myself — and that, I am responsible for? - that?s not really a denial that Aniston is dull and uninteresting (and vapid and superficial, IMO), Brad is just saying that calling Aniston dull was not his original intention. It?s not a specific denial that she is, in fact, dull. Of course, the whole ?Jen is an incredibly giving, loving, and hilarious woman who remains my friend? part is sure to appease the Anistonloonies somewhat.

Go ahead and yell at me. Just know that personally, I wish Brad would shop giving a crap about his ex-wife and her fanbase. I wish he would just step up and really voice a passionate defense of Angelina, beyond the fact that she?s the mother of his six children. Even though the Parade comments were from Brad, talking about HIS issues, so many people dragged Angelina into their scorching insults like she was the one who made the remarks - and that always happens. I?d like to see Brad step in just once and act as a human shield for all of the crap that?s thrown on Angelina. I thought that the Parade interview was a step in the right direction, but with this new hedge, I?m kind of pissed at Brad.

Brad Pitt talks about 'feeling pathetic' in his marriage to Jennifer Aniston

Brad Pitt talks about 'feeling pathetic' in his marriage to Jennifer Aniston
I promised you this interview in the post where I finally, at long last, pitted the boys against each other - go here to see my ?Brad Pitt versus Justin Theroux: Battle of the Try-Hards? post. Anyway, it seems like today we?re just going to be inundated with new Brad Pitt interviews. These are some excerpts from his cover interview in Sunday?s Parade Magazine - by the way, Parade editors: don?t excerpt your cover story over the course of a seven-page slideshow. It?s ridiculously and unnecessarily time-consuming. Just put the s–t on one page. Anyway, you can read all of Parade?s piece here - just go through the endless pages, for the love of God. The biggest, attention-gettingest quote is probably when Brad makes reference to his marriage to Jennifer Aniston - and he makes it sound like it was totally miserable.

Brad?s 1990s: ?I spent the ?90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic. It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn?t living an interesting life myself,” he continues. “I think that my marriage [to actress Jennifer Aniston] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn?t.”

How he changed: “I put much more emphasis on being a satisfied man. I?m satisfied with making true choices and finding the woman I love, Angie, and building a family that I love so much. A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss. ? That?s the trade-off. But I?ll take it all.?

On Angelina: ?One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom,” he tells Parade. “She is such a great mom. Oh, man, I?m so happy to have her.?

On the rumors: “I mean, how many stories have you read that aren?t true, stories about me and Angie being married or fighting or splitting up? And when we don?t split up, there?s a whole new round that we?ve made up and we?re back together again!” he says. “We?ll get married when everyone can. We?re not splitting up. And we don?t have a seventh child yet.”

on gay marriage: ?Can you believe that we?re still fighting for equality in America? To be against marriage for everyone is utter discrimination. I feel strongly about that because if equality of marriage doesn?t happen now, the next generation will have to deal with it. It is an amazing thing that New York has finally gotten same-sex marriage. But the real problem is that the federal government hides behind states on this issue. It is blatant, ugly bigotry, and the federal government shouldn?t be doing that. You?re denying some Americans the right that all Americans have, to live their lives as they choose. What are you so afraid of? That?s my question. Gay people getting married? What is so scary about that? It?s complicated. You grow up in a religion like that and you try to pray the gay away. I feel sadness for people like that. This is where people start short-circuiting?instead of being brave and questioning their beliefs, they are afraid and feel that they have to defend them.?

Brad on religion: ?I don?t mind a world with religion in it. There are some beautiful tenets within all religions. What I get hot about is when they start dictating how other people must live. People suffer because of it. They are spreading misery. My family is all devout Christians? We don?t see eye to eye on this one, yet at the end of the day we love each other, we?re still family.?

Brad on adopting babies: ?When Angie and I first met, we came together quite quickly and we decided we were adopting. Now the rules are that because we are not married, I can?t adopt. Angie adopts. We decided we were adopting a daughter. We were going to do it right out of the gate. We were not going to mess around. Angie said, ‘No shopping [for kids].’ I thought that was astute and beautifully put. It took the pressure off of adoption and brought a magic to it. We had set our parameters?we had room in our family if anyone needed a home. We got the call, and that?s our eldest daughter, Zahara? You get an attachment to people and places that you see. If you see suffering when you?re there, then you?ve made a connection to those people and you have to act on it. Once you have an understanding of it then you have to try to help. I say to people, go travel the world. Open your eyes. See it.”

ON NATURE VERSES NUTURE: “If you ask me about nature versus nurture, I?m going to say it is 80 percent nature, absolutely. You see [a child?s character] six, maybe nine months in. Now, some of our kids need more nurturing than others. Some have more delicacy. They?re all just unique individuals.”

ON LEARNING FRENCH: ?All our kids are speaking French, so now we have that second language infused into our home. Everyone is learning another language. I?ve got the Rosetta Stone for French sitting right on the table in the bedroom, and it?s going to be loaded into my brain. I know there are certain synapses in my brain that just freeze dead at French, but I have to learn it because our kids are speaking it. [Laughs] Even the twins as babies were saying certain things in French.?

ON FAME: ?I don?t read about Angie or me in the press. I don?t see anything. I really don?t want to know. I don?t think the generation [of celebrities] preceding me had it as bad as I did. And I think the generation after me has it worse than that. I?m talking about the tabloid press. In the ?90s it really shook me up. I couldn?t believe that people would just make up stories. I would never think to do that. I mean, I went to journalism school. And there?s a code of ethics to journalism. It?s about being unbiased and not sensationalist and speculative. Now there?s a cult of speculation. ‘A close source says?’ The thing that really amazed me was when someone would describe why I did something, or what I was feeling. I used to go mental over it and try to fight it. But it was a futile battle, so I just gave up on it.”

There?s so much more, about Make It Right NOLA and he talks at length about religion and faith too. But let?s just get into the tabloidy stuff about his marriage to Aniston. He doesn?t really blame Jennifer or say that it was her fault or anything - I actually like the way he made the point: ?I wasn?t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn?t.? As in, they simply weren?t right for each other as husband and wife, and he got sick of pretending that they had some kind of fairy tale. If he?s accusing Jennifer of anything, it?s that she was NOT sick of pretending they had a fairy-tale marriage.

Also - I really like what he said about Angelina. Brad rarely speaks of Angelina so effusively. But I would like for Brad to talk her up more as his partner, as his de facto wife instead of just as the mother of his kids.

"Moneyball" Man Brad Pitt Covers Entertainment Weekly
Added 13 years agoSource: Celebrity Gossip

In promotional mode as he readies for the release of his new movie "Moneyball," Brad Pitt nabbed the latest cover of Entertainment Weekly.

Set to hit newsstands tomorrow (September 16), the 47-year-old chatted with the magazine about his People's Sexiest Man Alive status, as well as working with partner Angelina Jolie.

Highlights from Pitt's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit EW!

On his Sexiest Man Alive status:

?Well, they?re not saying you?re the Biggest A?hole, you know? When you get older, you realize it?s just for fun. Clooney and I were able to have fun with it later. But in some ways, I?m still a kid from Missouri and Oklahoma and I?m trying to find my way. By the way, we?re only talking about a blip. I didn?t spend much time thinking about it.?

On his joint "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" effort with Angelina Jolie: ?A husband and wife who actually want to kill each other?I thought that was a launching pad for something really fun and vibrant. Again, that was something we were developing as we were going along, and Angie?s a great partner in that. We work really well together. We had some good workshops beforehand. Had some good laughs and ideas. That was just a great collaboration that turned into a greater collaboration.?

On the possibility of working alongside his lady in the future: ?We should be doing them together?that?s what we should be doing. We should be doing everything together, and then we could work less. We could have more time off.?
