Jolie and Pitt spending Thanksgiving visiting earthquake survivors
Nov 23, 2005, 20:23 GMT
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are spending Thanksgiving visiting survivors of the Pakistan earthquake.
The pillow-lipped beauty - a United Nations goodwill ambassador - reportedly wants to see how survivors are being cared for - and is taking lover Brad with her.
The actress, who has two adopted children, Maddox and Zahara, revealed: 'We'll be on our way to Pakistan in a matter of days.' The pair have already attended a briefing in Geneva to help them prepare for their trip to the devastated region. A spokesman for the UN High Commission for Refugees told Britain's BBC website Angelina is 'a terrific goodwill ambassador' who 'takes her work for us extremely seriously and that means a lot to her and the staff'. Earlier this year the star begged the international community to help Afghan refugees in Pakistan. The star toured refugee camps established near the country's border with Afghanistan following the collapse of the Taliban regime. She pleaded: 'I ask the international community to do more to fund and help shoulder the burden of this part of the world. I met a woman who was about to get on a truck with a small baby. I do not know how she is going to survive, and how she will be able to make a living, to find food, to find health care.'Copyright 2005 BANG Media International

Samantha, you are one thoughtless idiot for wrongly villifying
Brad and Angelina based on the false adultery accusations. The
Jen fans are being so despicable, they are attacking everything
about Brad and Angelina: their morals, their character, their
looks, their talent, their careers, their humanitarian work,even
their adoption of Maddox and Zahara. Everytime they do good deeds
or go out with their family, the vile Jen fans call it a PR stunt,
out of spite. Brad and Angelina are both doing serious humanitarian
work. They are both genuine and passionate about bringing aid to
third world nations. They are not just attending the occasional
Hollywood charity benefit like some celebrities, they have devoted
a serious amount of time and money to various causes. They are directly
involved with the people and the issues. Brad is an ambassador for
the One Campaign, which he became a part of before he met Angelina,
it was Bono who inspired him to get involved. Angelina did NOT
wreck that marriage! Brad Pitt was NOT unfaithful to Jennifer
Aniston. Jennifer is no victim, she is not the sweetheart or golden
girl the corrupt media is making her out to be. The media has just been so cruel and relentless in spreading their lies, rumors, and false accusations about Brad and Angelina.I am so fed up with having to engage in this ugly debate with the Jennifer fans. If you want more insight into the truth
or into Brad's side of the story, go to the 'More on Pitt and Jolie
Wedding' Article, and read the postings there. I didn't base this
commentary just by reading those posts, by the way. I actually am
an acquaitance of Brad and Angelina, and know people who know the
real story. It is just that the people on that messageboard explain
things better than I do. Just quit bashing Brad and Angelina!
I agree with Valerie. I am disgusted with all the people who
are wrongly bashing Brad and Angelina! Their attacks have
no merit or foundation, all based on lies, rumors, and
false accusations. Just leave this poor couple alone.
I don't want to get into another debate with the Jennifer
fans either. I just want to stop this hate and all these
nasty insults. Go to the ' More on Pitt and Jolie Wedding'
article, and read the postings there. I don't want to
repeat all the same arguments and same explanations, just
go to that messageboard. I also know people who know this
couple and the rest of the Pitt family.You don't know how much hurt
and pain Brad and Angelina are feeling because of the media and
close minded & cold hearted people like Samantha who are judging
and insulting them because of the lies. It is also distressing for
the people who know them and care about them. They are incredibly
strong people and I hope they will be able to overcome all of this.
They are both good people. They are a beautiful couple, inside and out.
I just want these vile attacks to stop!
Quit bashing or judging people when you do not know the
truth! God bless Brad and Angelina for having to put up
with all of this undeserved hatred and b.s.! Hopefully,
this will be the final post. Nobody wants to argue. We
just want the nastiness to stop. Peace out.

What a PR stunt. I believe that Jolie is really a good humanitarian, but Brad Pitt is just in it to get back his old image of being a great guy. Even though I don't support their relationship (i.e. I do think Jolie had something to do with the Pitt/Aniston breakup), I still feel that being a goodwill ambassador does not cancel out being a homewrecker. Ultimately, Brad is the one to blame for all of this, so it disgusts me more when I read about this new PR stunt he is pulling.
