3. YAY for them. Not much of a fan but at least they give to those who need it.
More people with gobs of money should do the same.

23. Forget about Hollywood. They make peanuts compared to the banksters and the
insurance Co. execs.

25. Yeah, but there are some good people in Hollywood. The other? Not so much.
Hell, Clooney is hosting a telethon for Haiti on MTV. Bet he writes a sweet check, too.

12. I'm surprised they have time, given their messy breakup
...Sorry. I read the covers of a few tabloids when I was in line at the grocery store today... It was probably all bullshit...

14. I read somewhere that Bank of America...
donated $1 million, too.

Brangelina = $1 mil

Bank of America = $1 mil

What's wrong/ironic/insane about this picture?

18. They should do this.
Give them a pat on the head but not undue praise.

21. What a wonderful thing. They're putting their money where their mouth isn't, unlike some others.
Just how much HAS Limbaugh raised, anyway? Robertson? Anybody? Anybody?

26. I betcha liberal Hollywood will do more for Haiti.
They did a lot in the tsunami crisis. They'll do it for Haiti.

Good for Jolie and Pitt. They can certainly afford to do this and get their tax deductions...

30. Awesome. I'd love to see some movie star types put out an ad on primetime
asking banksters, big insurance, big pharma, and defense contractors to match their donations.
