Angelina Jolie Heads To Haiti

joliehaiit.jpg Angelina Jolie flew to the Dominican Republic yesterday to visit with earthquake victims and meet with Dominican President Leonel Fernandez, and she is expected to travel to Haiti today.

Both Angelina and partner Brad Pitt have donated $1 million to relief efforts in Haiti, so not only is she putting her money where her mouth is, but she's taking a hands on approach and lending her fame to a good cause.

The actress previously released the following statement regarding the situation in the region, "It is incredibly horrible to see a catastrophe of this size hit a people who have been suffering from extreme poverty, violence and unrest for so many decades."



She may be a homewrecker, but you gotta respect that!

That homewrecker comment was really inappropriate to put on this post. X17 you should remove that.

Why do these so-called "Stars" insist on putting out a Press Release detailing how much money they donated to a particular cause?

I agree with the above comment

Waaauuu, she s gonna blahblahblah blah again!!! And what difference will it make ? If I had her money and time, I would be glad to do the same! Yeah she gave, $500 000 (1M with her partner, which makes 500 000 individuallly, right ?), like many other celebs. But, while others also organized events, not to mention the anonymous who have been workiing hard to help the victims for several weeks now, she just comes to talk????? what a joke

I don't see Jennifer Aniston or many of the other stars going to Haiiti. Would any of you go if you could? STFU



Posted by: Anonymous

she is the goodwill ambassador for UNHCR and it's her duty to go...not a photo op...and announcing donations often encourages fans to do the same...so it's a good thing!!
X17 do you call Laura Dern (stole BBT from his wife and kids), Julia Roberts stole 2 husbands, Joanne Woodward...the list goes on...do you call them homewreckers every time you post a pic of them???? brad decided to go with her and that is the only marriage she ever broke...if you want to count BBT and Laura Dern who were engaged after Laura stole him from his wife and kids...does that really count...i wouldn't think so..BP and JA were over anyway...both of them have said it...get over it...5 yrs of abuse is enough...just stop...she's a good woman!!

Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at- Agemingle @ c o m a nice and free site for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to- interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends.

If I were going to Haiti it wouldn't be
for a day or two to just talk. That's
just a waste of money even if it is to
call attention to it. Think of how many
that money would feed in a poor country
like that. Who's getting the attention,
looks like her to me. We are all aware of what happen and have already donated.
The real hero's are the workers, the
military and the people that are in
the trenchs doing the actual work. She's
sitting in office talking to the President while the others are out doing
the actual work. Total waste of time and money. Maybe that's why this world
is in such a mess.

Matt, thats just what I said, thanx a lot!!!!!! 7:48



Posted by: Nancy

If she stays a month or two and does
some actual work then I will say good
for her. The photo ops are just taking
up time, not to mention the cost.
America has already said we are going
to help them rebuild and most of us
have donated all we can.

so sick of hearing of her and her bullshit humanitarian acts



Posted by: Anonymous

can they just keep her? she is just an attention whore.



Posted by: Anonymous

Why doesn't she do some good for the people in this country? There are millions of children in the United States going without proper food and shelter. Don't even get me started on the piss poor public education system, especially for special needs children. Why is it that these celebrities care so much for the other under privileged children of the world and not the under privileged children that are right under their own noses? There are millions of kids going to under funded public schools, using out dated text books, sharing school supplies, and barely passing the national average but nobody cares about that? Western Kentucky was without power for almost 2 months last year due to an ice storm and I didn't see them holding telethons and making huge cash donations to get those poor people heat and clean water. All they got was food poisoning from FEMA's rancid peanut butter.
If these "celebrities" really want to be "humanitarians", they should help the people who actually pay their salaries by watching their crappy over priced movies!

Love you, Angelina! It doesn't matter what all these ignorant naysayers yammer on and on about, her heart is in the right place.

this biotch is a crack whore. she probably kidnap 15 kids



Posted by: SHESH!

I can't believe how much fame Brad & Angelina crave. They can never get enough. They have to be in the tabloids all the time. I thought they were actors. They are just weird at this point. I can't believe people don't see through how they manipulate publicity. Using natural disasters, children (whoever the dna parents are) and or castrating a ‘love’ triangle. I see thorough all this fake nonsense.

...must have heard there is some good heroin down Haiti way...

She and her anorexic addiction are an insult to all the starving dying suffering poor people, even kids, who crave for the food she rejects daily. Did she ever think of that???

Hopefully she will stay in Haiti.

When you talk badly of a person or persons, especially celebrities it just shows the level of jealousy people have towards them. Is it because they are living a life that you want, money, freedom, cars, clothes, travel etc , etc. You would think that Angelina is the only women to (as you people seem to think) take a man away from someone, that is just being plain stupid, many of many celebrities have taken someone’s girlfriend or boyfriend or husband or wife. So lay off Brad and Angelina, they are living the life they want. None of our business.



Posted by: Anonymous

I think she travels to these places to draw attention to them - she pays for everything herself so there is no cost. I also think that people are more inclined to donate if there favourite celebs are involved with a charity.



Posted by: Anonymous

She had a meeting with a president, my god how much power does this trashy actress have!? She is just a mediocre entertainer who is waaaay overrated and overpaid, not to mention a person with 0 morals and she is lecturing everybody???



Posted by: me

May God bless Angelina, the poor people of Haiti and all suffering people all around the world.

And may God have mercy of people who act with such hate, and envy, that they are able to poison even the best actions just for hate. Yes may God have mercy of them because they are suffering too.

For all of you who don't know Ms. Jolie but continue to bash her...she, first of all is a lovely woman who is kind to everyone she meets. She's not a hypocrite, nor is she a homewrecker, as she had strict rules of engagement during Brad Pitt's marriage. Now, if any of you are so knowledgeable about Ms. Jolie, you'd not be here on a tabloid blog spreading your vile opinions and conjectures about someone you know nothing about.



Posted by: Anonymous

11:13 : what about you ? Do you know her ?
Let me tell you smthing : Im French, from near Nice, where she delivered the twins. And a friend of mine who works in a maternity hospital in Nice told me she was very unkind to the doctor who attended her. I dont want to give details as it would be too long, if you want ask me.
Yeah, FYI, unless you are a close relative or friend, you dont kow her either...

She's the PITTS! Go to Haiti? How about just go away!



Posted by: Anonymous

Of course the whore was going to do this. Seeing rumors of her and pitt are are splitting up. She always does this when something like this happens.
I am not jealous of this piece of work, so people saying anyone who doesn't like her needs their head out of their asses. Not everyone has to like someone just because they are famous.
I rather idolize someone who actually DOES something and doesn't put a show on every time they do.



Posted by: Anonymous

You silly uneducated, gossip reading, concubines. You have nothing better to do but bash someone who is doing something good for poverty striken countries. You talk of the poverty in America...have you visited an orphanage, have you donated your time at a shelter on Thanksgiving or Christmas to serve food to the homeless, probably not. However, you have no shame in bashing Angelina, you sit infront of your computer and type what you think is going on in the lives of celebrities yet you are nothing but wasted material. Who gives a shit if she's getting some publicity out of it, for everthing she's done for the poor she deserves to be on the cover of every magazine. GO TO HELL HATERS!!!



Posted by: Anonymous

Who cares if she has done something for the poor, guess what, PLENTY do.
I rather promote people that do this DAILY and in their own neighborhood without ever getting a damn dime for it.
This is just a stunt and you just need pull your head out of your ass.
No one here is a hater, we are just sick of this haggard media whore and her holier than thou stink.



Posted by: Anonymous

Yeah, thats amazing how fans take critics sooo personally! Know what ? We dont talk about you ! So, relaaaax!!!

Can someone please do something to her freakin huge forhead!! She gets uglier by the minute!!



Posted by: Anonymous

Kind of hard to know whether she's acting as a goodwill ambassador, or whether it's just for publicity. I'm leaning toward publicity.



Posted by: Anonymous

It's great that she is helping, but she sould also take care of her kids. Maybe I am small minded but to try to save the world is not a one person job. And they have 6!!!

i really respect her charitable work and her unhcr aid put what i see here that some people here don't like anything at all and if you really don't like her then don't leave any comments that if you are really true to your self

TOMB RAIDER YOUR MY HERO.
LOVE YOU ANGIE.
BIG HEART, TRUE HUMANITARIAN, TRUE TOMB RAIDER.



Posted by: who cares

Ha! A hater that says there are not haters, but just are sick of her... Come on if you are sick then you are full of bitterness, so you hate, and of course you even dare to write all bad things you can about her... Jesus!

9:11- why would they help America? America is all that is wrong with the world. Shoving political and religious views down other nations throats. If it wasn't for the states there would be a lot less lives lost at war.

I agree with 5:21pm.....

She should just put a camera on her head so she can show everyone everything she does.



Posted by: Anonymous

To post 11:13AM; what the heck are you talking about? She is the biggest hypocrite in Hollywood! She's also a fake and liar. Remember how she received 14 million for the twins pictures? How come they said it would go to charity and only 7 of it did?

I'll tell you why; they put the rest in a Jolie-Pitt foundation to reap in the tax benefits.

She and Pitt are the biggest jokes in hollywood. Next time she say's "i'm going to quit for awhile to be with the children blah blah blah..." I'm going to scream HYPOCRITE!



Posted by: jks

I'd much rather praise the workers that
are there and will stay for a long time.
The doctors, nurses, red cross, the
armed forces, and all the people making
a difference. A fund raiser makes more
money and raises awarness doesn't it but
that is group effort. I just don't get
how her flying in for a day or two and
talking about it is going to help much.
We all have tv's, read papers, and have
the internet. We know what is going on. We have donated what we could to
help. America has already pledged to
help them and donated $100 million for
now. She has six little kids, is going
to be working long hours on a movie and
I have wonder why all the time away
from them. She could have been in a
fund raiser (Clooney's) did just as
much good and stayed home with her
family.

I am not sure why the Haters are even in this site if that is what they feel!
Angelina not only donate her money but also takes time out to personally visit and address the issue, that is the job of Goodwill Ambassador. Some other celebraties may donate but they do not personally visit these disastrous zone.
The paparazzi follows here wherever she goes, she does not draw attention to it.
Jealous hater should put where their mouth is and move on! Donate their money instead to charitable cause. The old news is getting boring.

9:11 a.m. I agree, there are many people who need help in this country now. The Native-American reservations could use some help, too. I'm wondering why these celebrities always want to help the Africans first. I have nothing against helping Africans or Haitians or whomever, but how about starting in our own backyard FIRST? Just because people live in the U.S. doesn't mean everyone is well-fed, housed, clothed, and well educated.

Why does Angelina always wear black clohes? If she is trying to look slim, please, someone tell her she is too skinny to begin with. She needs to wear white, not black.

correction: clothes ^



Posted by: angry moose

What a bunch of nasty asssed pissantsss, obviously you bunch of wankers dont give a flying f*$%k about what goes on in the world. Typical low brow, single cell response to someone who has the conviction to live a full life. You bunch of know-it-all turdsss, you read a paper that cost you a buck, or go on line to read gossip and you know all about Jolie and Pitt and their motivations. Well enjoy you're dumb little lives because life is good if your a Jolie-Pitt.!!!!!!



Posted by: angry moose

Bye the way critizing her for wearing black what kind of nasty pill are you on. (I guess when your only travel is to Mcdonalds and wendy's). Anyone who travels a lot knows that to look less creased and if youre traveling light you wear black, but then you braying donkeys will find anything to bitch about Jolie.



Posted by: Anonymous

wowowow very low level you show there angry moose. Your idol Jolie has given reasons to receive critics. People give there opinion, and mostly not even in a nasty way.
That doesn't really justify your insults in your remarks, does it?
Get a bit less agressive maybe, when you hear something opposite to your own ideas? It could make your own opinion stronger than it is now.



Posted by: Anonymous

homewrecker? it's been five years and Brad and Angie have 6 children together...and why could'nt Jen keep him? somethings up when a woman cannot keep her man from looking the other way,there is something wrong with Jen Aniston...thats why she never changed her name to Pitt...She was too boring for him if I was a betting person...



Posted by: Anonymous

Jen got rid of Brad just in time when he started to lose his looks, but why would she need a liar and cheater anyway? Brad and Angie deserve each other they both look like crap and have no morals.



Posted by: b!1

Great!...I still don't respect her!



Posted by: medida ho

She is more PR herself to death, this media whore is desperated for the attention and thinks she is above others, i ahve more respect for the anonymous ppl who are working hard day and night without flashs around them like this media celebrity ho, this crack ho took her 5 minutes photop after her party at the super bowl, a fake manipulated hypocrite whore, why didn't she attend the telethon let me see above everyone??? too bad for her we are not buying her crap, also im wondering if her camera crew shoot her private jet as well??
