Brangelina Says Thank You

To celebrate the birth of their new baby girl, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are donating $300,000 to help other babies in Namibia. In addition they'll also give $15,000 for a school and community center in Swakopmund.

The Namibian government also released a statement saying that baby Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt will also be granted Namibian citizenship.... of course she will!

How sweet..they do something nice and she's still horrible? Makes..her African..borderline racist comment..I could go on and on..what the hell is wrong with her visiting africa, and the people welcoming her?

I just love this! The state of Africa is near and dear to my heart, since my ancestors came from there and all that. Angelina and Brad can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned.

Geeez, again with the "thwarting [my] plans to keep hating on" Brangelina. Can't win!

Considering that almost all Namibians are living on a dollar or two a day (according to a news report), that's a lot of money - to bring help where it's hurting.

Does she have to release a press statement everytime she donates money. I am sure she can donate anonimously cant she??

Nitelite · May 30th, 2006, 04:09 AM

i read the whole article somewhere else. Angelina didn't make an announcement about the donation, the Namibian governor or some state official did. $315,000 is going to help a lot of the people there out.

Off topic:

I think it's fine that people donate anonymously but I thought the whole point is that as a celeb you can raise awareness for a cause or a place so others might feel encouraged to donate their time or money. Some people simply give to a charity because their favorite celeb is attached to that charity, so who knows. Some celebs do it for photo ops but one thing I will never doubt about Angelina is her humantarian work. This whole humantarian title attached to her started last year, but she has been doing this for the last five years or so.

It's all relative as someone said - when you are paid over a dozen million dollars for a film the donation of 315,000 is pocket change -I guess it doesn't even cover the cost of the plane they keep on standby- so it makes that donation ridiculous in regard to what they could really do to help...One of their secondary houses that they will hardly visit should be worth 100 times this donation

darksithbunny · May 30th, 2006, 07:31 AM

wow. Talk about African American.

Im sorry to say when i first read this my overwhelming thought was God, is that all? To them its probably a days interest considering how much money they must have combined. Your both worth millions..................give b***** more to celebrate your daughters birth......not a measly $315,000. (Thats roughly £170,000.)

Mookie · May 30th, 2006, 08:12 AM

that's what i thought too! i mean, it's great they're donating the 300k, i'm sure much good can be done with it. but considering that 300k is only like the price of a bentley for them, what's up with THAT? come onnnnnnnnnnnnn, they can do better. after all, namibia as a whole was VERY good to them.

cheapskates.

edit: oops, i meant to add....won't they be offended? i mean, if i was the head of state of namibia, i'd be all "300k fricking dollars ??? after all the crap we did for youuuuuuuu and let you manipulate us???"

i'm kinda grossed out by brangelina at this point.

Mookie · May 30th, 2006, 10:16 AM

mm, i understand your point, honest i do. but i wasn't aware that they'd helped namibia in the past.

lol, although i STILL think 300k makes them cheap bastards...

Just wanted to let you guys know that I gave a dollar to a hobo today. I really think I changed his life. I'm not telling you this so you'll be like Wow! she's a great person. I'm just trying to raise awareness about hobos.

KIMU · May 30th, 2006, 11:50 AM

Catherine Zeta-Jones also has millions, I mean, she said 1 million is like nothing for her, so why she doesnt donate anything??

Brad and Angelina are great, and even if they are rich and worth millions, they dont have any obligation of giving their money away.
