Brangelina Donates $1 Million to Earthquake Relief
by Hilton Hater at .If only all celebrities were like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
They're gorgeous, they're talented, they provide us with endless, hilarious tabloid fodder - and they're as charitable as it gets.
The most recent example of their giving nature: the couple has contributed $1 million to emergency medical operations in Haiti, as that nation deals with thousands of deaths and incomprehensible damage in the wake of a 7.0-magnitude earthquake.
"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," said Jolie, while her partner added:
"We understand the first response is critical to serve the immediate needs of countless people who are now displaced from their homes, are suffering trauma, and most require urgent care."
Specifically, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation is donating the funds to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontiéres, whose three hospitals in Port-au-Prince were severely damaged.
We hope other stars are paying close attention.

i don't dislike bangelina, but they're not perfect either, to say they're god-sent is a bit much. yes they donated money, because they have the money to spare, but so have many other people and if they didn't have the money to do it they wouldn't, keeping up their life-style comes 1st. this donation didn't make them broke, they still have millions more in their bank accounts. there are people who haven't donated money, but they're out there donating their time and efforts into helping rebuild homes, and that's JUST AS GOOD AS DONATING MONEY. these are the people who should really be looked up to, cuz those are the people who are putting all their efforts into helping from the bottom of their hearts, they're the people who are doing it because they truly want to help and aren't getting publicity and won't be recognized for it, are the true God-sends
@DISGUSTED actually... money DOES make it better. where have YOU been? "...these people are disgusting." huh. let's see you donate a million bucks to Haiti :]
Thank you DJames. Thank you!
GO Jolie-Pitts....GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys are a God-Sent....forget about all the rubbish the other viewers/readers have to say....you guys are just doing the most appropriate thing in this unfortunate situation. We ndeed a lot more people/celebs like you all around...don't know the world would do without people with BIG HEARTS like you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why don't Brand & Angelina actually donate something other that money??? How about some of their time? How about actually getting their "hands dirty"? How about working 16-24 hour shifts of actually helping the people of Haiti???? These people think that money makes it all better...it doesn't! These people are DISGUSTING!
