Angelina Jolie has yet ANOTHER fan to add to her growing list of supporters!

The sexy Latina singer Shakira is the latest celebrity to show some much deserved love for the actress's decision to go public about her preventative surgery and had nothing but nice things to say!

The former judge of The Voice praised Angie, saying:

Janie was brought to a shelter in LA as a stray on April 14th, having had been run over by a car and was seriously injured.

How do they know? She literally had a tire track across her back! She was scared and in pain, reluctant to let anyone help.

SO many people wanted to! The only problem is that she had a microchip, meaning the owners had 10 days to claim her before she could legally be rescued OR adopted, so the staff called the owners and even went to the registered address! NOBODY WANTED THIS CUTE PUPPY!

The loving and amazing staff had money pledged in case Janie needed surgery, but there was no foster home for her. They bent over backwards to find her one!

Against the odds, Janie was given a chance at a happy life, thanks to the dedication of the shelter's employees, as well as several concerned animal welfare workers. This was just some random dog, and the kindness of strangers saved her life — and gave her a new, comfortable one to boot!

It's stories like the one (above & below) that make us SO happy!

Oh my god! This is so amazing!

Nothing will stand between this dog's way and the arrival of her owner, who had been gone for six months.

Not even her disability!

This is seriously SO SO SO sweet!

All around awesome human being Angelina Jolie added another notch to her humanitarian belt Thursday while at the Women in the World gala in NYC (above)!

Brad Pitt's future (current?!) wife delivered an inspiring, yet heartbreaking speech honoring Malala Yousafzai, a young Pakistani activist who was shot in the head by the Taliban simply because she wanted equal opportunity education for girls.

Angie has also donated $200,000 to an educational fund set up in Malala's name that will go towards funding various educational projects specifically for females.

It's a sad fact of the world that human beings are still oppressed because of various religious or cultural beliefs. We only hope that these blatant violations of human rights will be addressed and eradicated (somewhat, at least) in our lifetime!

Ch-ch-check out some more snaps of Angelina at the Women in the World gala (below) and then you MUST watch her tear-inducing telling of Malala's story …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

In January of 2000, Holly Robinson Peete got the news that her son had autism — a moment that would never leave her mind. She looked for a silver lining in the diagnosis, regardless of the fact that the doctor had zero bed-side manner. He just listed the things RJ would 'never' do: talk, make friends, mainstream in school, participate in organized sports, etc., before laid something far more hurtful on her. He said she would NEVER hear him say the words 'I love you' unprompted.

All of this at just 3 years old.

Now, RJ is much older. He even checked ALL of those things off his list, and more, exceeding so many expectations… and Holly is now writing about the experience! Here's a bit of what she has to say:

If you love Game of Thrones AND ALSO the NHL, we've got a treat for you!

Behold the NHL team house banners, in the style of Game of Thrones! So epic!

We're willing to bet that there will be at least a few of these flying during games really soon! The creator, Mike Obrand, aka HabsLaughs, used a banner generator to create them, and fans and players are going nuts over them!

Next month's playoffs, or the new season of Game of Thrones? You don't have to decide — you can have both!

Ch-ch-check out more awesome posters (below)!!

This is so beautiful, yet so sad.

Katelyn Norman died of aggressive bone cancer earlier today, but before she took her peaceful journey into heaven, she had one wish that she wanted to conquer — going to her prom.

Unfortunately for the late 14-year-old, on the day of the prom, she had trouble breathing, so because she couldn't go, the event came to her!
