Bradley Pitt was back in New Orleans on Tuesday. This time, though, he wasn't shooting his film The Curious Case Of Benjamin Buttons.

The actor and humanitarian went to get his hard hat at a rebuilding site that he is spearheading.

Brad is building a new "green" housing development.

The father of four will chat with NBC news' Ann Curry Wednesday and Thursday morning on the Today show about his passion project.

      I am sick of celebs going "green" just because it is suddenly the cool thing to do. He goes on these shows to discuss the "green" movement, and also plug his movie in the same breathe.

      It's nothing but a publicity stunt.

      I love Brad & Angelina together.. they seem like a perfect couple BUT I do find it strange that Brad tends to morph into the person he is with. He totally changes his style to match every woman he has ever been with! Nothing against him though.. he seems like a great dad. xo Love U Perez

      At the moment your only outlet is Internet and blogging. Wendy Williams should have patented that name. But oh well, the movie comes out next year and you won’t be in it . Take that

      As someone who was born and raised in New Orleans, it's great to see Brad Pitt making a difference in a community that could certainly use it. Don't forget about New Orleans and the Gulf Coast Region, they still need as much help as you can possibly imagine! Brad Pitt for Mayor!!!

      As a Katrina Evacuee living in LA (and loving it, don't get me wrong!) I have to say Brad is the real deal down in Nawlins…all my friends at home say they are really being true humanitarians those Jolie-Pitts….and if Brad also gets to indulge his love of architecture…rad! I don't even lust over either of these two, but love to see celebrities who STILL REMEMBER NEW ORLEANS!!
      8/29 is the 2 year anniversary of Katrina, and The Crescent City is worse off than anyone likes to imagine. It's not as nice as a 3rd world country!!
      REBUILD NEW ORLEANS!!

      I'd have a lot more respect for him if wasn't going to "chat" with Angelina's puppet and sympathetic mouth-piece, Ann Curry. Why, as always, does Pitt, like his hypocritical partner, have to turn his good deed into a publicity stunt? These two just can't stop patting themselves on the back.

      And why the hell is he wearing WHITE if he's going to be actually getting his hands dirty? Is this part of the gimmick, wearing all white so suckers like Perez will go on ad nauseum about what an "angel" Brad is?

      Don't be talking about our bitch that way. He still has his ass on, infact he is an ASS. He lost so much of his behind because my mommy likes to do it from my daddy's ass. He likes it from behind, we always tell our mommy ride 'em cowgirl! His always happy when momma wears the strap on and digs the poopi. Remember when my mommy bought that horsewhip? That's to whip him in no ass shape. What can I say, they like to be freaky.

      Some of you are so stupid posting idiotic statements about Brad doing this for publicity. WHO THE HELL CARES whether it's for publicity or not. How wonderful that he is doing something. Imagine if all of those rich M**therF**ckers in hollywood actually took on a project that would actually help or be beneficial to some unfortunate individual(s). I wish people weren't such a**holes all the time. Some of you need to take a break from the hating and go out and do something humitarian for a change.

      I could not agree with you more! The benefit to the people on the recieving end of "publicity" frequently reap the rewards which last longer than the moment of publicity. Furthermore, small "good deeds" for publicity can be life changing for the recipient.

      I totally agree - publicity or not, think about the person recieving the aid/reward.

      On the other hand, hot man needs a pair of pants that flatter his ass…what happened to his Thelma & Louise tush…YUMMMMMMMM

      I don't believe you people! Even if Pitt was only doing it for PR [since when did Brad Pitt need more attention?] Attention on the continuing mess in New Orleans more likely. What does this get him, other than more bile from his critics? He has devoted a lot of time to this venture and a few bucks too. What did you do today? Wonder what Paris Hilton did for her community today? SHEESH!!

      An actor and "humanitarian"? A lot of actors give to the poor and you don't call them "humanitarian". But of course, like Mao, Castro and Hitler, you think that if you repeat something a lot of time, people star to believe it.

      Well, not in this case. Britt is an adulterer and his companion is a sicko. Having saying that, I thank him for the green house….

      Sure, Brad is playing the "role" of his lifetime, with Angelina. Deep down, he's an insecure, narcissistic pretty boy, who landed himself some real luck with Thelma and Louise. Admit it Brad. That fake "I'm so cool" look couldn't be more pathetic. Yeah, he hit the Hollywood lottery all right.

Bradley is a fraud, parading around in front of delusional fans, thinking he's some kind of "hero." He's a typical Hollywood type that happened to get a "break". His BRAND takes SO MUCH ADVANTAGE of SAPS that buy into this shit, it's not even funny. LONELY FAT TEENAGED GIRLS - that's where Bradley relies on his paycheck. And Saint Angelina LOVES EVERY FUCKING DOLLAR. Does being a lucky fuckup turn you on, BRADLEY?!?!?!? HUH?!?!? You're a loser in real life, and you know it. EAT THAT.

      To reiterate few other posts, who CARES what Brad's motives are! His actions are helping folks who are in dire situations. Many, many celebrities choose to hold onto their money and spend countless hours doing selfish tasks (tanning, going to spas, partying).

      Brad and his lovely partner, Angie, chose to, for PR or not, spend their time and money attempting to alleviate poverty and suffering of others. So, unless you are doing the same with your time (because even if you are poor, you do have some free time don't you? why don't you volunteer at a charity event for PR purpose. Your friends, community, and family will think you are a saint. )

      Singer Darren Hayes arrested

      THE former frontman of Savage Garden, Darren Hayes, has been arrested for an alleged racist attack on a waiter at a Thai restaurant in London.

      Hayes fronted police in London last Friday night, where he was arrested for racially abusing a member of staff at Busaba Eathai in Wardour Street on July 22. The attack did not involve physical violence, but is believed to have been directed at a male member of staff.

      Hayes was released on bail.

      A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "We can confirm that a 35-year-old man was arrested by Westminster police on suspicion of racially abusing a member of staff.

      "He was arrested after voluntarily attending a Central London police station by appointment. He has been released on bail pending further enquiries, until the 21st of September."

      The spokesman would not comment further.

      A manager at the Soho restaurant, who did not want to be named, confirmed the incident and said that it involved a verbal attack by Hayes on a member of staff.

      He said restaurant staff reported the incident to police, who took statements on July 23. He said the victim had returned to work, and the matter was now being left in the hands of police.

      The incident follows Hayes's public criticism of the Prime Minister, John Howard, on a visit to Australia a week ago, for his stance on homosexuality.

      Hayes hit out at the need for his partner, Richard Cullen, who he married in London last year, to fly to Australia on a tourist visa.

      "It makes me angry and frustrated," Hayes told News Ltd newspapers. "I'm Australian and the way the law sits I can't bring my partner home as my partner.

      "That to me is an infringement of my civil rights - a very un-Australian thing.

      "I would never have voted for John Howard and I encourage people not to. I don't think he speaks for this country in the same way I don't think George Bush speaks for the US."
