    28

    wtf are you people talking about? he's not ugly. I do see a bit of a resemblance…something in the eyes, but mostly the mouth and that dimple!!! ;)

    even so, why talk shit about him not looking as good as his brother? NO ONE is as good looking as Bradley….that man is just a one of a kind masterpiece

    I live in Springfield. I think what the Pitts are doing is a great thing, to help out our kids here. I'll definitely be donating.

    Maria Nieder (the news-woman), said, "Incredible!" a little bit crazily, though. Lol.

    You know why this isn't good? (of course it's good work, but please hear me out). For you young people out there, you must know that there is more money given to education than is even needed. The problem is that it is spent wrong. It is spent on administration and unions. So what I fear is that all of this nonsense about not having enough money is just accepted as a given and more and more money will go down the black hole called SCHOOL DISTRICTS. Ask your parents how much they pay in property taxes….wait until you pay property taxes….there's enough money, it's just spent wrong.

    wow, different haircolor and a bit of a stronger jawline and he would look just like his brother!

  32. Emily says – reply to this


    32

    This is really inspirational. I'm from AR, and I know that Missouri does have some problems, like Arkansas does. I'm so glad to see someone doing this for the kids and having someone famous helps to get the word out there! Good job!

    41

    What HE needs to do is start a grassroots movement to get Brad away from the controlling, adoption-crazy, lesbian-loving, globe-trotting Angelina….Take Shiloh and hit the dirt, Brad. Your "partner" is a major, self-aggrandizing asshole — not to mention a homewrecker. Moreover, she's the worst parent ever, dragging those poor kids — and YOU — from pillar to post and stuffing Cheetos in their dirty faces. If she had any conscience at all, she's settle down and let Maddox stay in one school. But, you must understand, it's all about Angelina, the phony world ambassador and publicity whore…

    I know this sounds harsh and very shallow - but, even with his accent he is a much better speaker than Brad. He seems very down to earth, which is refreshing. Kudos for the initiative.

I bet the news caster is flipping out..she's so excited to be on this site! Perez keep up the inspiration section i love it!!

    He is HOT! A heavier older version of Brad but still HOT!

  60. Liz says – reply to this

    I think the brother has been big into charity for years, way before Brangelina. Both Pitts resemble their mother. Doug has more predominant bone structure, but they totally look like brothers. I actually think Doug is now better looking than Brad. Sorry to say, but Brad's days of being hot are long over.

  61. girly says – reply to this

    There are PLENTY of Worthwhile American charities to give your movie star money too. Thanks, Pitts for starting your charity. there are starving, dirty Americans as well as Africans. etc. Support America First!

  72. How's This? says – reply to this


    72

    I am totally all for wanting children to have enough for general living (toothbrushes of their own, etc.), but wouldn't the problem of children living in poverty be solved if people planned better financially before getting into the "parent trap" of starting a family in the first place? Who are these people breeding who can't even afford to care for them in the long term?

  73. Schotland says – reply to this


    73

    What a great cause. I donate to my community school fund every year. I just think it's amazing, separate from the newscast and charity, how much Brad Pitt's mannerisms are so similar to the rest of his family! Just amazing that no matter how different the life, income, and circumstance… family tends to gravitate toward similar causes and can't escape similarities in everything else.

    Awww he's adorable! I think he's better looking than his brother, even.

    You're so up Brangie's ass Perez, you're like a little girl. It's funny.

    Why don't you ever feature other celebrities families" who've been "doing good" since before Amgie and Brad thought of it. Paul Newman — and his daughters — for instnace. Must run in the family:
    "His philanthropic endeavors are comprised of personal interests and issues confronting society, at-large. Newman has a particular interest in providing opportunities for children suffering from debilitating illnesses and does so through a series of camps throughout the United States and Europe. Newman has also led the way in corporate philanthropy with the company Newman's Own and its remarkable policy of donating 100% of the proceeds to charitable organizations. "

    I hate all of you, especially any one under 21 who says shit like their opinion matters… You dont know shit yet and you wont till you live a bit…
    If you guys missed that I hate all of you…. I admire brad pitts bro for his work on this thing… but you kids reading this… I hate you… I freaking hate you . Harsh but true… I hate you

    What a great movement! Please donate people!! As a Springfield native it is heartbreaking to see the economy go so far downhill!!! A few bucks a month…..GET ON BOARD!

  84. Snickers says – reply to this


    84

    It just strikes me how Brad Pitt didn't seem to give a hoot or a hollar about charities and helping people UNTIL he met Whorealina. Talk about whipped! He's such a pawn! Can this man even think for himself anymore? I bet he can't wipe his ass with asking his beloved Angie first!!

  85. K says – reply to this


    85

    he doesn't look much like brad- he looks like Jane. Doing for the kids of Missouri ….. Well that's great to hear! and it only took brad 20 years to give back to his hometown :-) As ususal he's immitating another one of his girlfriends. Now all of a sudden he's giving? When she dumps him, he'll go back to the real Brad and start blowing bones again and taking any role that comes his way.

  86. Mimi says – reply to this

    Look like Brad got all the looks. Kudos to their mom for raising such good guys!!

  87. MADDOX'S MUG SHOT says – reply to this


    87

    WOW, since Angie AND Brad have NO PUBLICISTS, they've resorted to pimping out the family to do their PR for them. Since Angie has completely alientated herself from most of her family, and she already has HAVEN involved in this scheme, it's a blessing for the MEDIA WHORE ANG that Brad has a "functional" extended-family. Angie MUST stay with Brad now, or, find another chump with a bigger family. Afterall, what's better than PUBLICITY? FREE PUBLICITY!

  88. Out, Out Damn Spot! says – reply to this


    88

    Here comes Brad, trying to wash away those sins. I guess his family got hit with some shrapnel, too and now they're trying to wash it all away. It's not working-never will.

    I find it soooo admirable that Brad Pitt (and now his brother) are helping people in need in the UNITED STATES. God knows their are millions of people in our country that need help too. Most celebrities are so busy raising funds for those in other countries,that they fail to look at what is right under their noses !!! Thank you Pitt brothers.
    A grateful American

    Hello, New Orleans is in the United States - Springfield isn't the first time Jolie-Pitt money has gone to U.S. projects. Loved what Doug said in an earlier interview, 'KIDS ARE KIDS, WHETHER AFRICA, NEW ORLEANS OR SPRINGFIELD." While a few American kids may possibly die immediately, I KNOW millions of African kids are in imminent danger of dying without immediate medicine, food, water & shelter. I don't mind if most of my donations go to them. It's kind of like New Orleans after Katrina, other kids across America needed food/clothing/shelter - but the Katrina survivors needed it more. People died because they didn't their medicine.

    Yes, bless the Pitts & Jolie-Pitts, Newmans & other celebrities who help. Brad & Angelina never claimed to be the only, or first, or best, or most generous philanthropists - they just do good.

    (Good deeds never go unpunished. - saying)

    94

    I once read online that Doug called the police about someone putting a Team Aniston sticker on his car or truck when Brad was getting a divorce If true what a waste of taxpayers money to have that policeman come to his house and write up a report. What a panty waist!!!!!!!!

  95. Angie is Godless says – reply to this


    95

    Re: GladGladGlad – I'm not quite sure what is wrong with you-a REAL JP fan would know that Angie doesn't believe in God so, instead of "blessing" a couple of assholes who could give a shit, what about "blessing" the children in Springfield, for example. Don't waste the blessings on the Godless. They don't care and laugh at those who believe.
