Red Campaign
I’ve just decided that from here on out, the name Brad Pitt will also be used as a verb, meaning: to do an act of kindness and/or extreme selflessness resulting in general goodwill for all of mankind. Let’s try it out. “Oh yeah I saw this homeless guy on the street the other day and I totally did a Brad Pitt and gave him my sandwich.” Or, “One might say that Mother Teresa Brad Pitted herself a spot into heaven-typical!” Hmm…maybe?
I only bring this up because HE’S DONE IT AGAIN!! The rumor on the street is that Brad Pitt (the man, not the verb) will be shooting a Dell commercial set to premier at the 2008 Super Bowl and then just handing over the dough to Bono’s Red Campaign. The Red Campaign supports The Global Fund, which helps women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa.
Dude, you’re talented, you’re rich, the ladies love you, and now you’re a humanitarian god. Save some for the rest of us! Oh well, it looks like I’m just gonna have to Brad Pitt my way into

Fighting With Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt must fight a lot. The couple are often reported as being a odds over such things ex exes such as Jennifer Aniston and Jonny Lee Miller and other reports have claimed that they really don't see eye to eye on money matters either. But they have defied all of the tabloid reports and they are headed into 2008 still together but still unmarried.
Many have speculated that will be for an easy getaway in case they do eventually split. While that seems logical it will be even more difficult because of the four children they have. And that's what Jolie wants to talk about.Reports claim she has recently confessed that she will not fight in front of the children. She admitted that she and Brad have no problem mixing it up over issues of the day but she wants to make certain that they don't do it (and by "do it" I mean fight) in front of their kids. She says that their debates never are about how to raise the kids.
Both Jolie and Pitt say they are going to adopt more kids in the future but they caught so much heat for their last adoption, as Jolie bent the rules and adopted as a "single mother" and left Brad out of the process even though she was living with him. It will be interesting to see if they really start the year off with more adoption plans.

Brad & Angie's Big Easy
For a couple like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who have traveled together to countless exotic locales and who could afford to live and raise their growing family anywhere in the world they choose, a laid-back city like New Orleans might seem slightly out of place. But that's exactly the reason they love it so much.
"Angelina adores New Orleans," a source inside the Brangelina camp explains to OK!. "It’s where she and her family feel safest. They feel like they're an all-American, regular family and that they’re no different than any other family walking around the French Quarter with their coffee on a cold morning."
This feeling couldn't been more evident than during the recent holidays, when the Jolie-Pitt clan gathered in the Big Easy to relax and spend time together. "It’s a special place for Brad and Angie," reveals the insider. "They really feel at home and it brings them closer together, it seems to be the one city where they connect.”
And Brad and Angelina aren't content with just taking shelter in their new home; these A-list philanthropists are giving back, especially Brad, whose Make It Right project aims to rebuild homes destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. “Angelina loves the idea that they have helped the community since Katrina," the source tells OK!. "She finds it incredibly sexy that Brad is so passionate about restoring the city, the community and being a part of the culture.”
The proud parents love taking their four young children sightseeing around New Orleans. “ They want them to see the breathtaking beauty of the city,” the family friend explains to OK!. “Shiloh 'oohs' and 'ahhs' over everything. She would get so excited she’d just start clapping and giggling on the back of Angelina’s bike."

Brad Pitt building green homes in New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- Expanding on a promise he made nearly two months ago, actor Brad Pitt said Monday he expects to have families in 150 newly created homes in New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward by the end of next summer -- but he asked for help to make the dream a reality.
"To build those 150 homes, we need the help of the American people," he said in a news conference Monday. "We need to all join together to do this. There is no reason why we can't do a thousand homes."
Pitt announced in September that he was partnering with film producer Steve Bing to build "affordable and sustainable homes" in the Lower 9th Ward, an area of the city that Hurricane Katrina devastated in 2005. Pitt and Bing have also each pledged $5 million to the rebuilding project.
The 150 eco-friendly homes mark the first initiative of Pitt's "Make it Right" project, aimed at redeveloping the Lower 9th Ward.
Once marked by dense housing, the Lower 9th Ward was heavily flooded during Hurricane Katrina, and afterward most of the area was razed. There has been little rebuilding done there since the storm, although some people have been living in trailers in the area.
"You're going to see life coming in," the 43-year-old actor told NBC's "Today" show. "We'll have people in homes by the end of next summer."

On Monday, Pitt walked through the neighborhood where the houses are to be built. Housing forms draped in pink tarps filled the area.
Later, he explained the rationale behind the bright hue.
"My thinking why it's pink is because it screams the loudest," he said at the news conference. "It says people are coming back."
He noted that others have suggested the color evokes the American dream of "little pink houses," as described in John Mellencamp's song of the same name, or that the houses were the "pink elephant" in the room: "That at the federal level it's business as usual. ... Down here we're still in limbo. We're still waiting."
Pitt said he welcomes more donations. "This is really an adopt-a-house campaign," he told NBC. "I'm asking for foundations, for high-network individuals, for church groups, for corporations to come in and adopt a house. Basically $150,000 will get a family back into their home."
Pitt said 13 architects have helped in the project. He said design requirements for the homes were "affordability, sustainability, safety -- and that they be beautiful," according to The Associated Press.
In the news conference Monday, Robert Green -- a New Orleans resident who lost his 73-year-old mother and 3-year-old granddaughter on August 29, 2005, the day Katrina hit -- expressed his gratitude for what Pitt and "Make it Right" are trying to do.
"We get a chance to bring our community back," he said. "This is something we need, something to spearhead the change that's going to make things right for our community again."
Pitt's work is not the only high-profile rebuilding effort in New Orleans.
Jazz musician Branford Marsalis and musician-actor Harry Connick Jr. have teamed with Habitat for Humanity to build a "Musicians' Village" in the Upper 9th Ward. Construction began in March 2006. More than 40 families now live in homes in the village, according to the Habitat for Humanity Web site.
Pitt and Angelina Jolie own their own house in New Orleans, a French Quarter mansion the pair purchased in early 2007.
"[New Orleans] has an energy like no other place," Pitt told the New Orleans Times-Picayune in May. "I've got to get me some of it. I absolutely love it there."
