I challenge Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to spend those obscene reserves held by their 'Jolie-Pitt' Foundation on legitimate efficient 'humanitarian' work or turn the funds over to others who will. To date, they have taken in $22,000,000 on the sale of baby photos alone, another 6 or 7 figures from other sources, and spent or granted only a fraction of that on 'humanitarian' work or 'good will' of any kind. The rest so far, has been spent on PR campaigns, plane rides, and super-high end accomodations for Brad and Angie in exotic locations around the world. I challenge them to meet the criteria of a legitimate charity, operate with a reasonable overhead, open their books to prove it, and get their 'foundation' worthy of a decent rating by ANY independent watchdog like Charitywatch.org. Otherwise, to stop selling baby photos for 'charity' and stop seeking publicity for donations made in their own name to their own foundation/travel/PR firm shortly before or after the premier of their latest film or DVD release. I challenge Brad Pitt to do the same with his 'Make it right' Foundation. Which to date, has not met the criteria of a legitimate charity or been given a decent rating by ANY independent charity watchdog. Otherwise, to stop competing with 'Habitat for Humanity' for PR, credit, kudos, and funding. Who by the way have been building homes for the less fortunate in every major city including New Orleans for decades. 'Habitat for Humanity' has been 'Top Rated' for years by charitywatch.org and others. They operate with a low overhead, volunteer workforce, and donated materials. No similar effort can match their progress hour for hour or dollar for dollar. They don't even come close. Unlike 'Make it right', the homes built by 'Habitat' don't just sit there vacant. They don't exclude by cost, lower income families. They are allocated and built specifically for the less fortunate who take part in the building process and move in immediately upon completion. 'Habitat' works in every major city including New Orleans. It puts 'Make it right' to shame. In fact, hundreds of legitimate charities have been given good-excellent ratings by Charitywatch.org and other independent watchdog groups. By contrast, the vast, overwhelming majority of celebrity 'foundations' have been rated poorly, fair, or not rated at all. They are inneficient, corrupt, focus heavily on PR, and operate with shady, self-serving, misleading accounting practices. They usually don't even meet the criteria of a legitimate charity. Still, they have the nerve to self-audit, self-praise, mislead the donor/fan base, seek funding from a number of sources including ordinary people, compete with legitimate charities, and cash in on maximum PR worldwide for their inefficient 'humanitarian' efforts. Its not right.
Re charity posting - YOU SAID IT. AMEN. I didn't even know about charitywatch.com. I live in New Orleans and Pitt's foundation has completed 100 environmentally constructed homes. Wow, that leaves about 249,900 left to complete. Amazing effort. Yet people here worship him and give no PR to Habitat or the hundreds of other charities that've been here for 3.5 yrs. now.
Pitt's 'Make It Right' foundation is a twisted hybrid of charity, PR, and business. Its well known that Pitt and Clooney have realestate mogul aspirations. A few years ago, they sold a piece of commercial property for $40,000,000. It was a failed casino deal in Vegas as I recall. Now, Clooney's 'Not on Our Watch' foundation has a contract with an off-shore gaming site. They requested the terms of that contract to be hidden even from the donor/fan base. Its another twisted hybrid of charity, PR, and business. One that involves big money and shady casino tax breaks lobbied from congress. To date, 'Not On Our Watch' has not been rated by any charity watchdog. Its another 'do nothing' foundation. Just a middle man with ties to big business and big profits. Pitt and Clooney have both 'donated' to 'Make It Right'. I don't recall how much they each gave but I do know that it was pocket change considering their obscene bottom lines. They both have an ulterior motive. The 'donations' were made and publicized right along with plugs for the 'Oceans' movies starring Clooney and Pitt. Thats Hollywood 'charity' for you. The timing is always calculated for maximum PR and profit. Anyway, Pitt's 'Make It Right' foundation is funded by a number of doners including ordinary people and investors who stand to profit millions from their respective building efforts in the New Orleans area. The organizers expect to have 100 homes completed later this year. Here is the catch: Those homes are not intended for lower income families. That would lower or restrict property values in the area. Pitt, Clooney, and some of the donor/developers don't want to rebuild New Orleans for the people. They have an ulterior motive. Its a twisted hybrid of charity, PR, and business. The donor/fan base has been mislead. F#@$ 'Make It Right'. 'Habitat For Humanity' puts them to shame.

You called that long ago, Crabbie. Yep.
I thought she was 18? Doesn't matter, it's gross either way.
She's 19.
18,19 or 20, whatever, John is so nasty, one would hope she would be smart enough to steer clear of him.
