Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Donate to Charity

While you were paying thanks to your loved ones yesterday, many charities were thankful to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

Over the course of the last year, the superstar couple gave a total of $6.4 million in donations to various organizations – which doubles the amount they gave in the preceding year.

According to The Hollywood Reporter blog Showbiz 411, the recipients of the Jolie-Pitt Foundation’s handouts included Global Health (which received $2 million), Human Rights Watch (which received $1 million), and Brad’s own Make it Right Foundation (which got $1 million).

Brad and Angie are famous for calling attention to various causes and needy people around the world, but it turns out they also put their money where their mouths are. To boot, the couple didn’t have any sketchy loopholes in their foundation. Operating expenses for the Jolie-Pitt organization totaled just under $225,000, which is peanuts compared to other foundations, which often pay out their staff and sundry expenses in many times that amount.

    Have you heard Angelina Jolie is calling out the Obama administration for its approach to the situation in Sudan. The actress, a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador since 2001, has devoted much of her efforts toward work in the troubled Darfur region, including her role in the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. – Josie

    tHER IS SO MUCH THAT NEEDS DONE IN THE UNITED STATES, IT WULD BE NICE I F ANGELINA WOULD SEE THAT INSTEAD OF ALL THE REST OF THE WORLD. SHE HAS SO MANY CHILDREN, I DON’T KNOW HOW SHE CANT ACTUALLY EMOTIOANLLY TAKE CARE OF THEM AS SHE PROBLEMS OF HER OWN. BRAD AND HER ARE NOT AS COMPATIBLE AS ONCE THOUGHT. IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT COMPETITION AND POWER WITH ANGELINA. TOO BAD BRAD CAN’T SEE ANGELINA FOR WHAT SHE ACTUALLY IS – A USER – A NARCISSISTIC PERSON – I SURE DON’T SEE HER PAYING MUCH ATTENTION TO HER BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN AS SHE DOES THE ADOPTED ONES. PAX WILL ALWAYS COMEF FIRST WITH HER. THE ONLY REASON SHEWANTS BRAD IS TO KEEP HIM AWAY FROM JENNIFER ANNISTON, HE STILL LOVES JENNIFER AND ANGIE HAS TO REALIZE THAT. I THINK ANGELINA IS A STRANGE, COMPLICATED, STRONGWILLED, WOMAN WHO IS VERY SELFISH WHEN IT COMES TO HER PERSONAL, SEXUAL LIFE. BRAD MIGHT NOT BE FAR BEHIND HER. I DON’T THINK HE REALIZED HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO RAISE ALL THOSE CHILDREN. IT ISN’T EAST TO PACK UP THE KIDS AND MOVE THEM FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY AND SCHOOL TO SCHOOL. THE CONTINUITY, LOVE AND DISCIPLINE ARE PRIORITIES FOR THE KIDS, NO MATTER WHAT AMOUNT OF TIME THEY SPEND WITH THE KIDS. THE KIDS NEED TO BE WITH OTHERS WHO ACCEPT THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE NOT WHO THEY ARE. IT ISN’T GOING TO BE EASY, BUT IF I WERE BRAD, I WOULD TAKE MY THREE CHILDREN TO THE STATES AND SEE UF JENNIFER ANISTON COULD HANDLE THAT. HE LEFT THE WOMAN HE TRULY LOVED FOR WILD WILD SEX AND THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT AS MOST MEN DO. THEN THEY WONDER WHY THEY DID IT.
    MY HUSBAND NVER THOUGHT I WOULD DIVOTVR HIM AND IT TOOK ME 20 YEARS TO DO IT. I STILL LOVED HIM, BUT DRINKING, OTHER WOMEN, NO COMMUNICATION IS JUST AS ABUSIVE AS BEATING THE HELL OUT OF ME. MY SELF ESTEEM WAS DRIVEN INTOTHE GROUND. MAY I WON’T EVER GET OVER HIM, BUT I AM BETTER OFF IN SO MANY WAYS.

    When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? – Thanks

    If you ask to any Petersburger a question on what most beautiful area in a city, he, without reflecting, will give up as a bad job towards the Hermitage. Before the Hermitage Palace Square – truly a pearl of Northern Venice opens.
