Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, in the most positive of ways, illustrate what noblesse oblige should truly mean.

HappyCat and Nicole Anonymous,

Bravo for them. They give away THEIR money and money DONATED, as it should be.

Now contrast that to Liberals who give away OTHER PEOPLES MONEY then try to take credit for being compassionate. And even having the audacity to condemn the people they took the money from for complaining they got their pockets picked by Liberals.

Doubt this will get past the HP Censors #103

I don't follow Hollywood stars but I am well aware of Angelina's and Brad's contributions both

through their donations and their time.

How many here complaining about this couple do any volunteer work themselves?

Learn to at least give credit when it is deserved.

Kudos to them! Thank you for your efforts and support.

What the hell is the beef? They don't have to give away anything if they don't want to. They have a tribe to take care of anyway. Is anyone looking into Anistion's charity giving? That's why some of you LOSERS are mad at them. He dumped the boring snob who thought her s didn't stink and got with hornet who rings his bells and bears his babies. Stop living thru celebs and get a life.

Do you think that these crazy Pitt-Jolie comments are coming from the Jennifer Aniston fans who have such a small life that they feed off of stars soap opera's, go to websites and spend hours debating how Jolie is a homewrecker and poor Jennifer?
It is just too weird.

he appeared in new orleans with that racist ass ex-president and husband of the monster and so i now have no respect for brad pitt. guilt by association, isn't that what the monster thinks when it comes to reverend wright?

Some of these comments are ridiculous. There must be some really sad, envious or just plain cynical people out there.

I don't care HOW MUCH they made or what percentage of their overall income this was. It's still a huge amount to give. And as noted by some other commentors, they have also given an extraordinary amount of their time to these causes- time that could have been spent making more money- so that should count too.

G-d bless them for what they are doing.

These two set a great example!

I cannot understand why people HATE her. It makes no sense to me at all.

$8 million is what percentage of their entire combined income? I'm not saying it isn't nice of them to give to charity--really, good for them, but this might be the equivalent of most of us giving a few hundred bucks. Don't know about you guys, but I DID give a few hundred bucks to charity last year, and don't expect to get much publicity for it.

I really like these two. It makes me feel good just looking at them. As gorgeous as they are, they have very big caring hearts and are also very brave.

Gee. They are the real deal.

Pay attention America, this is how we should be behaving.

Good for them, not only do they give money, they give of their time and talent as well. The way the media scrutinize this couple you will think they are running for a public office. They could just keep their millions and just sun tan and do yoga all day long like a lot of celebrities. $8m in 2006 is a lot of money considering that Jolie only did A Mighty Heart movie that year and she was paid $1m dollars because she did more for the love of Marianne than for the money.

This is a couple that I can sure get behind, as cynical as I am, they are the real deal.

Everyone says that she gives about a third of her income to charity so let's figure this out right now. They have a combined income of over $150 million. They each make about $15 million every time they make a movie and that doesn't include all their endorsement deals and homes - I've actually heard it's around $150 million. So if they give about 5% of their income to charity. That is less than most accountants suggest you give to charity for tax purposes.

And now everyone can say I "hate" them and I'm just angry because I want to be them and so on...

What stupid commentary! What did Arriana give last year?
This of course won't see the light of day.
