Buried at the bottom of a long article about the birth of Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt in the latest issue of Hello! Magazine is a story I’ve yet to hear about some of Brad and Angelina’s very tangible charity work. A hospital spokesperson told Hello! that Brad had hundreds of toys delivered for sick children at Lenval hospital on the French Riveria where Angelina gave birth. What’s more is that he visited the kids himself when he was there. This is the first I’ve heard of this story and it seems like the Jolie-Pitts didn’t make an announcement because it hasn’t hit the US press yet, not even People, which is reporting every detail of the birth, has this story.
The famously philanthropic couple, who have given millions to charity through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation, have also been characteristically generous with the hospital. Brad “ordered hundreds of toys for the sick children here and has visited the wards to speak to the younger patients,” said a clinic spokesperson.
The spokesperson added, “They have charmed everyone who works here. It has been delightful having them to stay and we shall all be very sorry to see them go.”
[From Hello! Magazine, print edition, July 28, 2008]
Of course they knew the news was going to get out but they didn’t go bragging about it, and Brad himself went and visited the kids there. He didn’t have to do that at all and he was probably touched by the young patients he met and wanted to do something nice for them.
Bauer-Griffin has new faraway photos of Brad and Angelina and some of the kids playing in the background. It looks like Brad’s mom is there along with his brother and what could be his brother’s son. The comments are pretty negative about the photos and encourage the paparazzi to let the Jolie-Pitts have their peace after the birth of their fifth and sixth child. They also report that Brad and Angelina are planning a cruise in Greece on Paul Allen’s yacht and that they were supposed to be leaving yesterday.
Oh Christ, *securing ear plugs snuggly in ears to await the onslaught of negative Brange-bashing heard round the world*
I’m starting the dread them doing anything nice for anybody.
It is really nice of them to give toys, but wouldn’t using their money to help with the kids’ medical treatment been a little more helpful. I’m sure it made those kids very happy, though.
They not only donated the toys, Brad spent his time with the kids.
No wonder Angelina finds him sexy. ๐
I feel the same way, Zoe. Heaven forbid these two don’t get their chance to take over the world. Or the known universe.
BTW, it isn’t about the kids treatment. *insert droll tone here* We don’t know what they have/had, none of our business, it did make them happy, why can’t you get over it….yadayadayada
Earplugs? I’m thinking more like popcorn and a margarita…
Wah? BP did something remotely nice & didn’t shout from the rooftops? Then it can’t be true. ๐
Well, good on ’em. It must have gotten old sitting around the hospital all day with a crabby giantly preggo lady.
Did somebody say margaritas? I’m IN!
That was a very kind thing to do, and I’m sure the kids appreciated both the visits and the toys.
*swoon* Anyone who has the nerve to complain when someone does something nice because they think its just for the “good pr”, is definitely ass backwards. The reason for the good deed doesn’t matter, the fact is the good deed was done, and someone benefited from it in a great way. =D I wonder, has anyone seen them in person? Do you see a glowing aura? That is how I imagine them, glowing aura, walking in slow motion.
I want pics. Sick kids, toys, nurses, Brad holding a copy of Nice Matin with the relevant date on it and a bill showing a break-down of ALL toys purchased.
Sweet gesture, sounds completely plausible.
@samantha – at least a glowing aura. I suspect children could even possibly have been cured! ๐
Regardless of the motivations, this was a good thing to do. Besides, these two obviously absolutely love children, so it makes sense to me that they would want to do something nice for those kids. Nothing wrong with that, even if you are a Brangelina hater!
Can he do no wrong?!
geronimo- Exactly! I see the hospital doors opening and as they exit rainbows blast past them, in the background you see vines and flowers flowing up the walls, children are singing, there are dancers and then a buttload of bunnies come hopping out behind them surrounded by butterflies. Too much? lol…
Oh definitely rainbows. No miracles without rainbows! And don’t forget the sound of nuns permanently singing in the background…
Thank you Samantha. While I love to hear about all of the good things that Angelina and Brad do, I get so sick of hearing people say they are doing it for nothing more than good PR. What if, maybe, just maybe, (And I realize this is a far fetched idea considering the world we live in right now) they are just really good people at heart who have been blessed with a talent that happens to let earn a butt load of money and they want to return the favor to the world. I’m just sayin’ MAYBE!
Well, you know FA, people have this issue, its called “jealousy”. They don’t like it to be called that though, because you get a gross image in your head. So instead, they just tear down the people they are jealous of to feel better about themselves. “Who cares if they are doing something good?! They are only thinking of themselves, those selfish good for nothing snobs!” It makes them feel just a little bit better about themselves. They aren’t doing anything productive, but that is okay because at least they aren’t doing it with alternate motives…wait, what? Crazy way to look at things, eh?
Nuns! How did I forget the nuns? Probably because anytime I think “nun” I think being hit with a ruler. Thank you Blues Brothers. ๐ฏ
LOL geronimo, Samantha and co..
Although they missed a trick – they have had the birth in Lourdes; singing nuns, rainbows, moving statues, taps full of running Holy Water and Angelina’s tears… the works!
They’d surely secure the most loyal and fanatical market of all… clubbing grannies. ๐ฏ
I wish those with the ability to do nice things like this did it to a point where it wasn t even a news story- although maybe they do and i just don t hear about it.
He did a good deed, GTF over yourselves haters. Seriously grow the hell up already, you whining babies.
Sandra, did you ever hear about what Colin Farrell did for the homeless guy? I only saw that article one time, a long time ago, and it made me so happy to see that he didn’t even tell anyone about it, it got out because the homeless guy was so excited about it.
Angies tears…I bet she cries ice cream. How sweet would that be? And so fitting, considering their love for children.
Just need a sec to refill my margarita…
The Colin Farrell homeless guy was in Toronto and was big news here when it happened…
A hospital spokesperson told Hello! that Brad had hundreds of toys delivered for sick children at Lenval hospital. Did you all read the same thread I did?
@vdantev – I agree ๐
Yeah yeah yeah, as if they can do anything and it doesn’t find its way in the press. That will be the day. This story will make rounds and to me that kills charity. Besides, shouldn’t he be taking care of his ridiculous number of brood?
Angelina doesn’t need privacy and her fans should stop attacking others. She would have stopped her ob/gyn from giving press conferences after announcing them, birth certificates being shown by the mayor etc etc. She wants all the attention she is getting. I can imagine what she is going through at home with 6 infants and a C-section. Don’t wanna be in her shoes.
vdantev and daisy – Am I missing something? Who exactly are your comments aimed at here? Not one single hate post that I can see.
I hardly think Angelina is at home with six infants. Only two can rightly be classified as infants, Shiloh’s a toddler and the others are all the way up to children, and probably potty trained and functional. I’m sure they have some help. I also don’t see six children as a ridiculous number. Both sets of my grandparents had nine children each. I have a friend who has eleven, and she homeschools them. Some people relish large families.
But I think Brad can afford to give toys to the sick kids and still be able to take care of his own kids. I don’t think we need to worry about the cost of their medical care, as it is France and not the U.S. where medical care can bankrupt you after only a moderately serious illness.
Why not take the higher road here, and just say “Damn, Brad Pitt is a nice guy for spending time with those sick children and giving them toys.”?
What if, maybe, just maybe, (And I realize this is a far fetched idea considering the world we live in right now) they are just really good people at heart who have been blessed with a talent that happens to let earn a butt load of money and they want to return the favor to the world. Iโm just sayinโ MAYBE!

Good hearts??? My foot! where have you been for the last three years? Angelina killed and boiled rabbits while she laughed, that is on tape. Brad fronted that Marijuana campaingn and had never done any charity till his image was on the line nad stood to be reviled by millions. And taking pictures in Kenya with another woman rumoured to be his lover before even divorce was filed? Kind hearts? Soon you will be saying Sienna Miller and Balthazar Getty are canonised. As long as they run off to Africa and adopt orphans!
See these losers for who they are, slutty attention hogs who do everything for the self serving reasons. How come no other charitable couples draw so much controversy or scream for sainthood for giving out $100k?
What if, just maybe, they are indeed just another adulterous incredibily selfish couple so full of their own shit that all they care about is their images and will do anything regardless of who they hurt along the way?Iโm just sayinโ MAYBE! ๐
Why not take the higher road here, and just say โDamn, Brad Pitt is a nice guy for spending time with those sick children and giving them toys.โ?

That could very well be the case. However, I am sure that the children who received the toys appreciated the gesture from another adulterous incredibly selfish couple. If that is what it takes for people to wake up and do their part to help the world, get your adulterous acts on!
Oh, wow. Kelly, that was a long, long-ass post just to showcase your borderline nutjob frenzied celeb hatred for these two! Impressive. I especially enjoyed the mental image of a maniacally laughing Angelina Jolie chopping heads off hapless bunnies over a steaming, boiling cauldron of water, dropping them in gleefully, bunny blood dripping from her arms and elbows. Nice touch, Kelly!
*sigh*
I need a margarita, too! Think I’ll whip up a few top-shelf margs on the rocks, with fresh-squeezed lime juice, mmm… Anyone want one, I made several – help yourself!
Love the lovely couple, by the way. I’ve always loved the both of them, long before they even met each other. Awesome people, beautiful family.
Boiled rabbits? What boiled rabbits? Surely you don’t mean that rambling video where she said that her rabbit got fed too much lettuce and died? I don’t think there was any boiling involved. ๐
And as the laugh was with a quizzical face, I think it was more of a “isn’t that the oddest thing – rabbits can’t eat “rabbit food”” kind of thing rather than a “muuuuuhahahahaha…. behold my evilness in it’s full anti-bunneh glory”
I know it’s pointless to say this to Kelly – and lola when she eventually shows up, because this is one of her favourite misrepresentations too – but there could be others who haven’t seen that tape and take what you’ve said at face value.
You look at the tape and see the Antibunneh Jolie – I see someone who fed the rabbit too much lettuce and blathers on like there’s no tomorrow.
And as for this getting press. In this case I don’t think they’re really at fault – chances were the parents of some of the children were there, or the nurses told them and the local press got wind of it. The press contacted the hospital and they confirmed the story.
What would the “haters” rather they do? Not give any toys and visit the kids in a mask? Ignore the kids so that you could call them elitist and self-serving?
๐ I’m sure there are rainbows & choirs of angels! & ๐ at the Antibunneh Jolie!!
Angelina doesnโt need privacy
Um, yeah she does. Everyone does ๐
I’m number #29 and this thread still hasn’t devolved into an Aniston Pity Party? (minus Kelly’s hysterics…)
These times, they are a changin’
That was a nice thing Brad did.
vdantev, you are in my opinion the nastiest blogger on this site. You constantly call people out and call them haters, which is supposedly against the rules just like writing in all caps. You call other celebrities whores and other nasty names. Your blogs are so full of hate and very unpleasant to read.
LOL @ Kaiser…
I’ve been waiting patiently…sipping on my margarita…
@ Kelly: methinks you have had someone cheat on you. If so, that sucks, but projecting much?
Well, in Vdantev’s defense, to be fair, Steph, a hell of a lot of commentors ’round here “call celebrities whores and other nasty names,” after all – we’re gossiping about them, on a gossip blog. I don’t like too much meanie-ness and ugliness, either, but it’s not THAT bad, Vdantev’s not an asshole about it at all, I don’t think. I’m just sayin’ – Steph – if you don’t like reading hate-filled celebrity commentary once in a while, I’d advise you to steer clear of online gossip blogging sites. ๐
Brad humiliated his wife? Brad isn’t married, although he is in a committed relationship. If you’re dragging up the Aniston thing again, Kelly, give it up, Jennifer’s over it and you should be too.
I wonder how many posts we have to put in this thread’s commentary section to knock that extremely unattractive, annoying-as-hell fug, fug, FUGly picture of anniston off the top right hand, there. The Hot Posts one, where she looks viciously thin-lipped and colourless in the face, and about as bitter as the bitterest – thing that’s bitter.
*snicker. Sips margarita, glances nonchalantly about* What? What did I say?
LOL Snowblood!!!
I love you. Seriously.
(whilst throwing a lot more tequila and ice into my blender…)
stirring the pot:
It does appear that Ms. Aniston is quite prolific in her own charity work and doesn’t mind shouting it out on her website…
http://www.anistoncenter.com/jen/charity.php
Can y’all mix up a batch of Hurricanes? I’m not crazy about Margaritas, although I do like Jimmy Buffet.
Damn I have to put up new stories in that “Hot Posts” section, thanks for reminding me Snowblood. Where is my margarita?
Oooo! Great link, Jann, would you lookie there – she DOES toot her own horn, now, doesn’t she? Hilarious!! I love the angel-face style of head-shots she’s got there as her banner on the top of the site.
Oh! :kiss: Love you too, Kaiser! And Syko – Hurricanes it is, posthaste – What’s in a hurricane, anyway? I don’t remember. Does it involve Blue Curacao, by any chance?
Celebitchy! Yes, yes, here you go, fresh Marg pour toi – made with Silver Petron and Cointreau, fresh-squeezed lime juice and a bit of superfine sugar, this is how I like to make my margies – shaken up in a shaker very hard, then strained over ice in a big glass tumbler. No salt, I don’t put salt. *hands Celebitchy her drink* Cheers!
@ Celebitchy:
While we’re on the subject, any chance you can do anything about that disgusting little girl holding her fake tits on the side bar?
Woot! I want a drink too! Tasty!
Many many types of Hurricanes, Snowblood, I like the ones with rum, vodka, gin, Southern Comfort, orange juice and pineapple juice. It would be real pretty with some of that blue curacao thrown in, if you have any on hand.
That is an interesting link, Jann. I like how they listed her donations to one of the causes as “an autographed glossy photo” – oh so generous, Pity Party.
And I think the photos are from several years ago, before the last nose job and whatever the hell she’s been doing to her cheeks.
I like Margaritas! More salt for me…
Wasted away again in Pitypartyville…
O.K., so the Hurricane is sort of a Southern-styled Long Island Iced Tea, like – Long Islands are for Yankees and Hurricanes for Southerners. I wonder what they taste like… the pineapple juice must make it taste really good.
Here you go, Syko, Kaiser, &b Bodhi, drinks all around – I’m gonna go back over to that hilarious Anniston site, I’m curious to read it.
You know, as a side note, the thing is – pretty much every wealthy celebrity gives money to charity, they all do. Seriously, charity-donating is super common, and not some kind of a newsworthy act, pretty much everyone with money here has at least one favourite charity they give to. The rich celebs in Hollywood who do NOT donate anything to anyone are in the extreme minority, in fact. I’m just saying, you know?
“It is really nice of them to give toys, but wouldnโt using their money to help with the kidsโ medical treatment been a little more helpful. Iโm sure it made those kids very happy, though.”
In America maybe, but with the excellent health care system in France it is highly unlikely that this would be necessary.
It is really sad how people have nothing better to do with their time besides finding pathetic ways to associate jennifer in any angelina story and vise vera. Kaiser people should pitty how pathetic you are as well. Stop using jennifer as an excuse to make yourself feel better when people slam and make fun of angelina.
O.K., I’m back already. After 3 minutes of checking it out, it got boring and annoying, badly so. Gah! There’s a members chatting forum, where Anniston super-fans sit around and talk endlessly on about Anniston and John Mayer, and everyone has a Jennifer Anniston avatar, and they’re all sporting titles like “Jen’s Oldest Friend,” or “Jen’s Friend Forever,” creepy place. Creepy! And tooth-grindingly annoying. Much like the woman herself. *shudder*
You know, the way most newspapers rate “popularity” is by reaction; not so much positive or negative, but just that people are motivated to express their views on the subject or person.
The irony is that people who claim to dislike hearing about Brad and Angelina or who write long, frothing-at-the-mouth posts about them are the ones who help encourage more and more articles/pictures/blogs/etc.
Because if you the one posting a story, you are more encouraged by seeing “1,899 comments” under it (good or bad) than, say, “5 comments”.
But, for me, I don’t care. I find Brad and Angelina interesting, so I like reading about them.
And charity is always a good thing.
Using the publicity you are going to get anyway to direct people’s attention to charity is, at least, a better use of your fame.
I’m surprised you lasted in there 3 minutes, Snowblood! Are you okay? Need another drink? Valium?
I am starting to worry about Lola. She’s usually here by now.
Snowblood will probably require medical intervention…retinas are permanently damaged from staring into the light that radiates from Saint Jennifer for a mere three minutes
Alot of comments, just got back from the salon, my roots were terrible. Where’s my margarita, lots of salt please.
Anyway,
Kelly, there is a big difference in Angelina & Sienna.
When children are involved, infidelity is inexcusable. That’s where I draw the line and form my opinion from first hand experience, as a child and a spouse.
I honestly don’t read your posts anymore. Do you cut and paste your comments repeatedly? Same old pity party re-runs. Maybe with new material, I will be more interested.
Am I the only one who is concerned that the J-Ps are going on a cruise with newborns? Do infants belong on yachts?
BTW, that Aniston site isn’t run by JA. There’s a disclaimer.
She doesn’t have to run it to sanction it.
Do infants belong on a yacht? Well, it’s not like they’ve started walking yet. The older kids are the ones to be concerned about and depending on the size of the boat, lifejackets are mandatory.
czarina – great post! I also find this couple very interesting and like reading about them. They do much more interesting things compared to other celebrities who all we see them do is go shopping, out to dinner or partying somewhere. So is Brad and Angelina’s lifestyle over-the-top? Sometimes. Do they seek publicity once in awhile? Sure, if they have something to promote, but all celebrities do this. At least with this couple, I find more occasions where their charity work seems genuine. Many celebrities write a check and donate money, but this couple seems to actually invest their time into their charity work as well.
I don’t understand people who come on blogs and write such bitter words full of hatred. It’s one thing to offer constructive criticism, but to harbor such intense hatred toward people you don’t personally know is just extremely emotionally unhealthy.
Here you go, Daisy424, and with lots of salt… I def. agree, too, about the monumental difference the presence of children makes, in any infidelity scenario. Night and day, I mean, really – no comparison. What Sienna Miller AND Baltazar Getty are doing right now is awful, just so low-down and utterly wrong, bad, horrible, and inexcusable – completely and totally inexcusable. Now, were there no children involved, had neither Getty nor Sienna any children, it’d be a different story. I wouldn’t judge them, in that case. No one knows what’s going on between a married couple except the two parties involved, so how can outsiders sit and judge? But with CHILdren being destroyed, humiliated, heartbroken and so terribly disillusioned for life, that – THAT – I will judge with fierce and angry vehemence, in protective defense of innocent children’s hearts.
Lola, oh Lola, where are you, bella? ๐ฎ With your colourful, passionately illogical, anti-Jolie-Pitt firestormy posts? Hmm, you’re right, Syko, it IS a bit worrisome. Wonder where she’s at today…
Oh – and yes, I totally agree with you, Trace, your whole post there.
Thanks Snowblood, tastes yummy!!I agree with you and Syko, where’s Lola โ
hahaha snowblood is funny, hahaha that’s too funny, are you ok now? talking about your earlier rant. brad is a good guy, until he married and divorced jenny poo, you never heard a negative thing about him, that says a lot when you live in Hollywood for that long, he was due for some negative publicity, but, his only mistake was marrying Jen in the first place, that’s just my opinion.
Okay Snowblood, so calling people whining babies and telling people to GTF over it to anyone who insults Brangelina isn’t being an asshole??? I don’t have a problem with people’s comments except when they are constantly filled with hatred and anger. Its people like that that I watch out for on the streets. They’re the types that will pull out a gun and kill you if you accidentally cut them off.
@Zoe I’m sorry but those people pay me good money to put up that boob chick. The pics for the site cost more than most people’s rent so we need all the help we can get.
Don’t make me read this thread though, I usually only skim the Brangelina threads because they get so screechy.
Er – Steph, I daresay you’re emanating all kinds of ugly, nasty hatred and anger right there in that little comment. You’re making absolutely zero sense right now. No sense. Are you the type that will pull out a gun and kill me if I accidentally cut you off? Yikes.
I don’t see anything wrong with having infants on a yacht, BTW – but my god, what a life!! Can you even imagine? How – just – what a fairytale, fun-sounding life, for all of the Jolie-Pitts. It’s great escapism to read about this fascinating family and their endlessly exciting, interesting life. And they’re all so likeable, and loveable. except to the Few, the Bitter, the Anniston Fans. But… Infants on a yacht… *sigh* What a life…
Hey, Badettes, did you girls hear about that woman who wrote an Anti-gay, Anti-Jolie, anti-Perez comment on perez’s site, and to get back at her Perez put her real name on the thread?
Anyway, the woman got fired – she was using her office computer. It made me think of Lola. ๐
CB! It’s actually okay to read this one, only one disgruntled Jen fan. And we’re passing around drinks, so you might want to get in on it!
no snowblood I am not that type. I have to go run errands and all this margharita talk has me in the mood. I will come back to your insults later.
Aw, that’s sad about that lady getting fired over such a thing – and that, there, is yet another gigantic, pustulant glaring reason why I utterly loathe and am so sickened by that horribly putrid blob of a human which calls itself Perez Hilton. Foul, hideous individual!!
snowblood, i am somewhat new to this site, and i think j/p is great, and that they should have hooked up a long time ago. brad has always been a stand up guy.
Kaiser hmmmmmmm good point, I think you solved the mystery of missing Lola ๐
Am I late to the party? Can one of you guys whip me up a drink?
All this drink means that it’s time for a good ould sing-song ๐
All together now…
Lo-la…lalalala…Loooola.. lalalala… Looooooh-laaah-haah..
Or perhaps even
“her name is Naughty Lola, she’s the wisest girl in town…” ๐
No worries CB! My boyfriend likes the boob chick. Lol. He puts up with me using his laptop to check your site obsessively so he deserves a little boob action, right. ๐ Yours is my favorite blog by far and since you are all drinking, try a redheaded slut for me (jaeger, peach schnapps, & cranberry shot), in my redheaded honor.
I am here Mairead, I have lost interest in your saint, the threads are not even interesting anymore. Quiet honestly she is yesterday’s news. I guess the world is ready to move on from her. Atleast most people now see through her for the fake that she is. I guess she will have to undress in time square to get attention. In the mean time, drink your magharitas in a Brangeloonie fest. Notice that it is mostly you loonies who give an eff about her anymore.
He is a much better person with Angelina. I think they really care about the children of the world. Jennifer Aniston cares about her hair!!!
A-HA! THERE she is!!
Thank god the world is ready to move on from her and most people now see through her for the fake that she is.
Maybe now the world will leave the family alone… We can all dream…
She showed!! It’s just not a proper Jolie-Pitt thread without some grouchy Lola input! 8) Now it feels complete. ๐
That redheaded slut sounds like an interesting drink, a potential annihilator actually, what with that Jaegermeister. So, a late-comber’s drink for I Choose Me, California Angel & Lola – Cheers!
I think that it is a wonderful thing when someone who is in the position to help people does. Rather than spend the money strictly on themselves, they scatter it where it is needed. Even if I stand alone, I totally applaud Brad and Angelina.
Snowblood I am back carry on…but can you also tell me why people say 1st on Perez Hilton’s site since you seem to know about him? What does it mean? Why do people say first when theyre really 26th? Why do they say it at all?
Redheaded Sluts are faboo! ๐
Steph~ I can answer that one. Its because they have nothing better to say. And they are lame
The world will leave this family alone if this family leaves the world alone. Who is bothering them now that they are not giving press conferences or pimping their kids?
If Brad was charitable, he would have encouraged his then wife to do more charity than care for her hair. Brad spends most of his time doing botox and coloring his hair with Angelina’s left over dye. LOL.
Off with these two lice. It is no longer fan spending valuable time on them. Notice that it is only Brangeloonies who care any more. I don’t see any converts who have changed their minds about these berks.
If Brad was charitable, he would have encouraged his then wife to do more charity than care for her hair.
Hrm, sounds like an indignement (sp?) to me
I’m sure the whole crew is beyond happy to be left alone for at least a few days.
And with that, I’m off to my man, the doggies, a fat bowl & Deadliest Catch! Don’t forget to tip your waitress! Try the veal!
Lola–I thought you wrote “If Brad was charitable, he would have encouraged his then wife to do more charity AND care for her hair”–and I laughed so much!! OK, then I realized I mis-read the post, but it still gave me a real chuckle!!
wow another great way to get publicity. gross couple.
For some reason these two can never really help when help is needed.
Some poor children would need toys, but the children in the wealthiest part of the world (South of France) surely don’t need his toys.
Then, he goes to children who are sick and might need assistance in medical treatment and gives them toys and time.
Brad is not a children star and they don’t know who he is, so his “time” is not really helping them in any way.
And “toys” are not really meeting their needs because what they really need is medical care.
Why didn’t he donate to research and medical treatment instead of (again) giving something no one really needs while it’s obvious what is really could be helpful.
Um, Karen, all sick little kids like toys. And I’m sure that not every child in that hospital is from a wealthy family. And how do you know that he didn’t/doesn’t donate to medical research?
I just don’t understand why it impossible to be positive about a good thing…
OMG bodhi! It’s like you read my mind! Was just going to post EXACTLY the same comment with EXACTLY the same points: sick kids need distracting; not everyone’s a millionaire in the SoF; and ending with a highly irritated ‘put a sock in it and stop whinging!’
Us BADettes, so synchronised, so tuned in to injustice!!
Lola showed! And she had to make two insane comments to make sure everybody knows she doesn’t care! ๐
Although, props to Lola for the “If Brad was charitable, he would have encouraged his then wife to do more charity than care for her hair” comment. That’s hysterical.
Wasted away again in Pitypartyville…
๐ Geronimo! Too funny!
I am sorry , but they constantly show how idiots they are when it comes to giving.
They completely show zero understanding of the REAL need that is at stake.
He bought houses in New Orleans that people can buy with a couple of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Who is he really helping? The poor that don’t have that kind of money?
The homeless people who still have no where to turn to in NO?
Same with the children- they never give money to build orphanages, to medical research and treatment, but rather spend a fortune on nannies and buy ‘toys’ to sick children in the wealthiest part of the world.
There were terrible natural disasters in the midwest when he is from, and he is giving toys to rich kids in the South of France?
In one word: ‘idiots’.
“I am sorry , but they contantly show how idiots they are when it comes to giving.”
No, Karen. You’re the idiot.
Karen~ They DO donate to orphanages. At least get the facts right

A whole bunch of ppl on here needs to gain a f- ๐ฏ cking life.
You are all hysterical (I mean that in more ways than one)…some potentially publishable writers (Potentially publishable-a tongue twisting alliteration)but I’m off on a tangent already….So-it’s a war between Brangelina haters and Brangelina Lovers and the haters are turned into mince-meat here? I’ll seek out a place where I’m wanted (sniff). I noticed a few alcoholics in here too so it’s kind of a gathering of Brangelina affected hoi polloi on opposing teams (and I appear to be included don’t I)? It’s just an illusion (don’t believe what you read)… I kind of like what Lola and Kelly said. Please don’t throw stones at me. You fans didn’t? You don’t see their point/s? I mean–not EVERYONE is jealous of Brangelina you know. You do know that don’t ya? Not everyone has to feel envy in order to dislike this pair no?. Maybe people really don’t feel that they like Brad and Angie because of the media hounding and the reports on every alleged –good deed that they do. It is a little tiring when they aren’t the only ones giving to charity yet get all this over the top credit like they are Mr. and Mrs. Mother Teresa (haha fooled ya when you thought I’d write Mr. and Mrs. Smith)!. Of course it’s kind to adopt, of course it’s kind to give to children in need etc., of course it’s nice to be (:the old woman who lived in a show-had so many children she didn’t know what to do”).. but you don’t see something else with this couple?. Paul Newman and Meryl Streep etc..give to charity but there isn’t a whole song and dance about them right (even in their prime)? Of course giving is good etc..but perhaps you all miss the point of the “haters”? Perhaps it isn’t jealousy and they simply feel that Brangelina really stand for something less pure and less altruistic and that this couple and their good deeds has taken a life of its own… It’s just a feeling. It may be a wrong feeling or a misinterpretation, of course, but there are some of us who feel that there is something off about this couple. After all-none of us know these “people”…or should I say “deities”?? Obviously-if they weren’t well loved-we wouldn’t be talking about them in this pathetic little blog to begin with but everyone has a right to dislike and speak about “THEM” without having stones hailed across cyberspace. I’ll call 911 on you, I will >:-) There are also many people who don’t like Brangelina and still feel compelled to come in to a blog (ahem) and have their say. I’m not mentioning any names. Maybe they truly don’t care either but can’t believe that these people are all over the place day in and day out. It’s kind of a full-fledged assault to our senses. OK? Anyway-if you do worship Brad and Angie-maybe it is possible for you to go out and do something yourselves to contribute instead of drinking yourselves silly and arguing over the topic of loving or hating this couple? They don’t give a hoot about any of us-lovers or haters. Why golly gee-if they read this blog-they’d be having a laugh. Lovers and haters-it’s all pathetic right? hmmm….I think I’ll stop now. Au revior et a demain….peut-etre..Remember-easy on the alcohol and go out and get some fresh air..(I’m finished now). Thanks for reading.
There is a gentleman in Curacao who lives aside the sea. His eyes are clear as the sea waters and, like the ocean, he is stubborn. his name is Bert Knubben.(64) He is on the beach of the BREEZES Resort Hotel and a craftsman of the exclusive kings black coral jewelry which he pig-headedly insist must be spelled black “koral”. A good touch, since the initials are his own and on Curacao, he is similar with this priceless gem which he painstakingly works in his small workshop, the KORALART gallery, in concert with his pretty wife Fennie, on the palm sands of the Breezes Resort Hotel.
I think it was nice though trust me, half the kids don’t kno who they re of whay they came to see thim. aaaaaaaaaaaaqt t end of the night, it’s just adpans and urie to deal with and praying to pain stays away and yes, some want to die.

No monmey for food, no money to go anywhere and were still a familg leaning on Chirst. Godd thing won’t het you where eternitiy lays. Sad, so dad. We know one fami with oney can’t just reah out and give us 3-5 million in a trust fund, making sur e thay had a home close to doctors and being able to be together until they die. Having fun once again as we had been happy even when they were sick, Then my husband voiced his options and that bough him no full time job with benefits and if by Jan, we will die for Medicaid won’t cover their meds, mine and all I have is hope that look into my eyes to see if I believebe yes, the yes they will be grate as I to am sick with Lupus or so tey say.
