Jennifer Aniston isn't a fan of Angelina Jolie, but Christiane Amanpour sure is.

"Angelina does an amazing job in terms of her capacity to highlight issues and problems around the world and with her humanitarian and human rights work," Amanpour, who is the Chief International Correspondent for CNN, told Usmagazine.com at the Justice & Human Rights Bridge Dedication Gala on Wednesday in NYC. She said she has no plans to interview the celeb.

Jolie recently visited Afghanistan as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Refugee Agency where she met with refugees who had recently returned to their homes.

In September, Jolie and Brad Pitt gave $2 million to fund a children's health clinic in Ethiopia, where their 3-year-old daughter Zahara was born.

The center, which will focus on serving children with tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, is run by the Global Health Committee.

"It is our hope when Zahara is older, she will take responsibility of the clinic and continue its mission," Pitt said in a statement.

The Jolie-Pitts run a similar clinic in Cambodia -- where their 7-year-old son Maddox was born -- called Maddox Chivan Children's Center.

"Our goal is to transfer the success we have had in Cambodia to Ethiopia where people are needlessly dying of tuberculosis, a curable disease, and HIV/AIDS, a treatable disease," Jolie said in a statement.
