we're not talking about angelina vs. jennifer here!!!We're talking about people in the US who need help!!!! I believe that Brad Pitt is really a good person (and hot!!). With or without the hat, he's sexy and hot.

Brad Pitt stole the show at Wednesday's Idol Gives Back charity special.
As Usmagazine.com reported on Monday, the actor, 44, caused fans to erupt in monstrous applause when he appeared on stage to introduce a video by Daughtry, who documented a trip to Uganda.
Within the first minute of airing, Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe said the show had already received 3,000 calls from people pledging donations.
Contestant David Archuleta spent the most time on the phone with donors.
Did he have more on his mind than just charity?
Joked one staffer, "He's looking for a prom date!"
In an effort to raise more money, contestant Jason Castro even offered to snip off one of his trademark dreadlocks. (Said stage manager Debbie Williams, "I want you to think about how much you would pay for one of Jason's dreads!")
After the nearly three-hour broadcast — which included pre-taped performances by Mariah Carey and Us Power Girl Miley Cyrus — the Idol contestants surprised the studio audience with an encore performance of Darlene Zschech's "Shout to the Lord" as paper streamers fell on the stage.
"[Contestant] Michael Johns then laid down and made a snow angel while Kristy Lee pointed and laughed," a witness told Us.
Last year's Idol Gives Back raised $76 million for charity. Lythgoe said the show hopes to earn $100 million this year.

i think a lot of you have issues. I mean to be insulting people you don't even know when they are trying to do good things is pretty ridiculous. its time to move on from the past and start showing positivity. all of you must be fat losers with no friends to keep on harping on them.
I hope Idol Gives Back raised $100 million dollars this year? Also, that song by Daughtry was very touching!
5:16 This isn't about money with you. I've relized your obsessed with angie and brad. I say SUPPORT OUR TROOPS have you thought about them at all,for fighting for our country. I don't think so b/c i never see anyone write one damn thing about them except myself. And of cause i care for eveyone around the world guess you misunderstood. And as far as charities i guess you will let me stay on my PC like you. Stop all the anger...

Freaking idol gives back was about giving money too all countries. Including the US!!! Don't be an idiot. I love America and I am glad that we are so fortunate. But other people all over the world struggle 20 times more than us. They're so poor over there. It's not our fault but I'm glad we're helping Africa. And no one's forcing people to donate. If they do that's cool. So stop complaining. Are you donating all of your money too help the US? If not shut up!
You know you are all a bunch of A s s e s. Go have threesome with the people you r all so obsessed with.... Goodbye................

Wow you're so cool. You should be so proud of yourself. You sure told him off!!! I'm sure he was so upset by it. You must have really gotten into his head. You're my hero. *snort* Isn't that what you wanted to hear?
3:52 do you know how read? This is my country. i said we have given billions to all countries always did you know that? We live in U.S.A. i would like to see shows on what goes on in this country. I'm saying you all think angie and brad started all this. And i'M PROUUD TO BE AN AMERICAN GO MOVE TO AFRICA. I'd love to help everyone but alot has to be done here,do you watch the news you A S S. everyone stop praising these people. What you give is sacred thats something that is personal i was taught never to brag. And is the goverments weren'tso greety stealing the money the goods selling them alot more can be done. but we live in a world of greed.....
3:53, it is loons like you who make me laugh. I totally told Brad what I thought of him, I couldn't care less if you believe me. I have the memories forever. Your just jealous because I saw him in person and you didn't
who cares who's doing what. as long as they help. why does it matter? i am sure you people wouldn't want others to tell you who you should help or shouldn't. why should it be any different for angie or brad? they are helping that's all it matters. is more than what I can say about some people who just sit in front of the PC and B%tch.
all we do here is b%tch about other people. is so sad.
Chortle! Snort! Guffaw! Like I, or anyone else with a brain, believes that you told Brad you didn't like him!!!! Suuuuure you did, 12:24! Sure you did. Thanks for the laugh!
Here's a few more words that describe the "haters" . . .
slimy worms
stupid toads
greasy trolls
black-hearted swine
brain-dead morons
filthy scum
liars
3:32, all I have to say is WOW. For one thing, what makes America more important than anywhere else? We're all people, we're all the same. Why should we give to the U.S. first, and other countries second? It's ludicrous to me that people still think that way. Secondly, Angelina and Brad DO help here. Haven't you heard about all his work in New Orleans? I guess not. I highly doubt you are doing even half (in terms of time and energy, not money) of what they are doing for the world. I'm tired of people criticizing celebrities for doing good deeds. They're just trying to create awareness to more and more people. Would you rather them do nothing? It's obvious to me that Brad really cares and I think these two are some of the most admirable people out there.
3:37 are you kidding me we have been supporting billions to all the coutries in the world,where the hell have you been. wow you think angie and brad did all of this. Start understanding where our money goes.....Get with the program...............

why should angie has to help? what about the gov't? why do we pay tax? you made it sound like is angie's responsibility to her the children in the U.S. she could do whatever she wants with her money. she is not the only celeb in the world. why don't you b$tch about bono for helping africa or oprah. they did more for africa than angie. oprah built a 50 million dollars school. how oprah didn't build one for the US children. believe or not even if the children in the U.S. didn't have much, they are still far better than children in the 3rd world countries.
Iired of the bull crap. i'm glad that our country support all these other countries we give billions. but when i watch shows just on this and not the u.s.a. it all digusts me. people our starving here,there not educated, no homes, no clothes, molested beaten abused ect. One question angie and brad what do you give here for your country,since your so opened mouth with bragging of everything you give to all the other countries??? you both make me sick, everyone has always been aware of whats going on,just remember you and brad didn't start this.
2:37 PM Anonymous Says:
why don't you blame the gov't. what did the gov't do. why should brad and angie have help out when the gov't don't give a sh$t about these children. also, just because angie couldn't make it doesn't mean she a bad person. she did lot more than some people like you and me sitting around b$tching about her. is fine that you don't like her but to judge her when you don't even know her personally, that's stupid.
I don't control when comments are posted. Believe me or not..doesn't bother me at all. = )
2:36, I truly doubt that since 5 minutes were in between posts you were being sarcastic. You just realized you made a mistake, don't beat yourself up it happens to all of us.
2:32 thank you for the english lesson I will try to do better next time. And by the way I do believe you meant to say use the right words, not write. But alas we all make mistakes.
I truly believe that charity starts at home, and for Brad and Angie whether they like it or not they are Americans, their first loyalty should be to helping our children. When they were in N.O., they were both asked to read to first graders, brad was thrilled to do it. Angie said that she couldn't be there at that time. I really wish I could like her but I can't
And, before anyone starts to call me out about using "write." Keep in mind, I was being sarcastic.
I guess if you SAY Brad? U mean saw? LOL. Funny. And, it should be, THERE is nothing wrong. Learn how to type and use the write words.
i think its great brad pitt is helping n.o they truly need and deserve it and i'm really glad everyone is trying to help kids in third world countries but these stars like " angie jolie" needs to help the kids in america to there homeless and being killed to but she doesn't seem to care about them she acts like it's there fault and our goverment shpuld fix it but she has no problem collecting her big pay checks from america she needs to help all
"MONSTROUS APPLAUSE"?
Who WRITES this ish?!
Jeez, Us, with all the money you rake in from Web site hits about these two, one would think you could afford some decent writers.
Hey 1:07, I guess if you say brad you would say how much you love him. so their is nothing wrong with someone telling brad they don't
why does everyone have to argue. just be glad that he is doing something about the problems in our world. what are you doing to help?? probably nothing. everyone is so self centered that they forget that there are other people on this planet!! get over yourselves and grow up!!!
1:00pm
Why the F are u going off on me? Did I say that Brad was the only building homes over there? NO, I DID NOT. I said he is over there HELPING! YOU GET A F N CLUE! Did I say anything about him working hard over there? NO! Re-read my post u nimwit!!! People always jump to conclusions and don't know what the hell they're talkn about.
As for the jerk who said something to Brad. I don't care to know the details..and I don't care if you think what you did was so self-satisfying. I still think you're an awful person.
12:52, my whole family is there building homes. with their own hands. they work 16 hours a day with little breaks, they have slept in tents. went to the bathroom in very dirty out houses. He pulls up in a caravan of cars and he actually had his own port a potty with him that only he could use. He lifted a hammer as long a the cameras were there. don't you dare tell me about working to rebuild a city. You don't have a clue
12:52, I am not an awful person. I just needed to take the opportunity to tell him how I felt about him. I won't go into what I said but I felt better after I said it. sometimes people just need to be brought back to reality.
