George Clooney on Brad and Angie

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

george_clooney59.jpgOh sweet George. Okay, I may be one of the few people in the world who doesn’t think he’s the most attractive man alive (Sorry girls! Brad is definitely hotter), but he has a sense of humor and wit that makes me laugh every time. His eyes light up with mischief and you can see that, inside, he’s got a 12 year old little boy who love to pull pranks.

He also cares about the world, and showed once again that he’s the most loyal of friends by writing this article for Time’s 100 Heroes and Pioneers.

It is one thing to talk about the problems of the world and quite another to actually try to change things.

That is the beginning of a very beautiful article written by Mr. Clooney that you should definitely read.

Thanks to Isa for the tip!

Brad and Angie Really Making a Difference

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

BradAngieThumbnail.jpgPerusing MSNBC.com this morning (because its got way more information about the world than any of my local papers), I fell across this article. It was a survey done to see if celebrity appearances actually encourages normal people like you and me to care about their chairty. Basically, will we give money or donate our time due to celebrities making appearances? And do the celebrities really care about the causes that they are promoting?

49% of the people polled saw Oprah Winfrey as the leader of causes. Up next was Bono, with 32% of the vote. Right behind the famous musician was Angelina Jolie, who garnered 31% of the vote, and Brad followed up his leading lady with 23% of the vote, with his famous friend, George Clooney, right behind him with 22% of the vote.

I find this survey to be extremely interesting, and it makes me very proud of Angelina and Brad! Look at it this way: Angie has been very active in fundraising and in helping children for a very long time. Brad was quieter about his charities until recently, and he’s almost even with Angelina now. Put the two together and you’ve got an unstoppable celebrity force who can accomplish miracles for those who need it most.

Just imagine what would happen if Oprah, Bono, Angie, Brad, and George all threw their backing behind one specific project. Mountains could be moved easily.

Making It Right NOW

Friday, April 11th, 2008

Make It Right is serious - when Brad said they wanted to have people into new homes by this summer, he meant it. Here is the first Make It Right home to be completed and ready for a new family -

Amazing! It all happened so very quickly. This is what happens when people get together and strive to make something good happen. But it’s not over yet. Only 81 of the 150 homes that they want to build can be built at this point in time. If you’ve got a bit of extra cash, why not donate to Make It Right? What better place could there be to put the money you’ll receive from your economic stimulus package? Its one way to keep the mony in the United States, right?!

If you’d like to donate, you can still do so by visiting Make It Right.

Angelina at Council on Foreign Relations

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Angelina Jolie was at the Council on Foreign Relations “Iraq, Education, and Children of Conflict” Forum in Washington, DC today. You’ve gotta hand it to our girl - she likes to “kill 2 birds with one stone”, getting everything done while she’s in town so that she doesn’t have to return for awhile.

According to reports, she was extremely kind to all staff and the photographers, giving a few autographs before heading out. She looks beautiful! Enjoy the photos!

Money Where Their Mouth Is

Friday, March 21st, 2008

BradAngieThumbnail.jpgI love Brad and Angie - I especially love how generous they are with their money. It has been documented that the duo gave away a bit over 8 million dollars to charity. Eight.Million.Dollars. I can’t even begin to fathom how much money that is! Their money was split up among different charities, including Doctors Without Borders, the Daniel Pearl Foundation, Global AIDS Alliance, Namibia Red Cross Action Program, and dozens of others.

Sorry I haven’t been here much the last few days - there really hasn’t been much news! The crew is hiding out pretty well, which is good because it means Angie gets to rest and spend time with the kiddos while Brad gets to work on his movie.

If I don’t see you before Sunday, I hope that everyone has a wonderful Easter and gets to enjoy time with friends and family. HAPPY EASTER!
