| | | Brad Pitt shows 'green' New Orleans housing design | | Posted Friday, September 01, 2006 1:37:15 PM by Blog57 Team | | Actor Brad Pitt has unveiled a "green" housing design for New Orleans's Lower Ninth Ward and said he was appalled by the slow pace of rebuilding since Hurricane Katrina hit last year. Two New York City architects won a contest, underwritten by Pitt, for an affordable, environmentally sound housing design. Their complex of single family homes and apartments would be built from modular pieces into long houses on a site that connects to the neighboring Mississippi River levee with a wide pedestrian ramp. But Pitt said the recovery would not work if the city did not assure critical services such as schools, and that he did not see much progress in the area that needed it most. "I am appalled and embarrassed that residents still do not have the opportunity ...... | |

After taking in an exhibition at an LA art gallery, the couple went on to the Hollywood party but were forced to spend 30 minutes sitting in their car outside, after learning that Angelina's outspoken father was already inside the birthday bash. Brad, who starred alongside Scott in Ocean's 11 and Ocean's 12, finally made his way into the party by himself, prompting Voight to make his exit just minutes later. On hearing that her father had left the building, Angelina finally made her entrance through a back door. Voight became estranged from Angelina in 2002 when he declared publicly that she needed help for what he called "mental problems".... | |

| | | How does Pitt bond with son Maddox? | | Posted Sunday, August 06, 2006 7:05:47 AM by Blog57 Team | | Though it's just been a few months since Brad Pitt adopted girlfriend Angelina Jolie's kids, but judging by the bond the actor shares with them, it seems they've been together for ages.

| | | Brad Pitt, Forcing Us To Volunteer | | Posted Thursday, July 20, 2006 9:02:17 AM by Blog57 Team | | Brad Pitt! What does he want from us? Save Africa, save New Orleans, save the planet -- but we're not like you, Brad, not as able, so show us. (Show us, but keep in mind our budget.) Soon he and Angelina Jolie won't even live on Earth, they'll just dangle above it, in a nursery-equipped Gulfstream IV, sort of the way Brandon Routh's Superman prefers to just float, in the stratosphere, listening acutely, compassionately, for trouble down there, and when he hears it, zoom , down he goes. We were always told that this is what the citizens of the future would do: They would have no fixed address. They would go where needed, constantly, selflessly. .... | |
