“Let Me In” By Mario Testino

It’s all good news for fans of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They gave away a lot of money in 2006, it’s all documented, and none of it went to any cult religions or crazy organizations.

According to the first federal filing for the Jolie Pitt Foundation, the couple put over $8 million into their tax-free instrument. Pitt put in $4,402,317. Jolie donated $4,123,613.

So, you see, all that talk about their making charitable donations? It was true, after all. What a relief. For once, there’s a happy ending.

Their first years’ donations totaled a whopping 2,367,935. The biggest amounts were $1 million apiece to Doctors Without Borders (International Division) and to Global AIDS Alliance.

The smaller grants went to Namibia Red Cross Action Program ($137,935), which is nice, since the couple caused chaos there when camped out during the birth of baby Shiloh; $100,000 to the Daniel Pearl Foundation (the couple made the movie “A Mighty Heart” about Pearl — this was a sop to his widow, Marianne, whom Jolie played); another $100,000 to Global Green USA and to the Epidermolysis Bulloma Medical Research Foundation; $5,000 each to two orphanages visited by Jolie; and $20,000 to an art park in Los Angeles.

Reports are indicating that Angelina Jolie is expecting fraternal twins which she plans to welcome into the world in her mother’s native France.

In Touch suggest that the actress and her partner Brad Pitt are set to give birth to a boy and girl, even though the couple have not confirmed or denied the pregnancy allegations.

According to the publication, Jolie has been overheard cooing about her unborn babies on the set of Pitt’s new movie Tree Of Life telling one pal the little ones are “kicking and moving”.

A source also claims that Brangelina were delighted when they found out they are expecting twins. The insider says: “Because she took fertility treatments to help her ovulate, her babies are fraternal. They’re ecstatic. She can’t wait.”

I’ve added two High Quality photos of Brad out and about in New Orleans, Louisana on Saturday March 15.

Former President Bill Clinton met with actor Brad Pitt and hundreds of volunteers in the Lower 9th Ward on Sunday at the site where a foundation headed by Pitt plans to begin building affordable homes for Hurricane Katrina victims.

“We hope to see a huge change here in the next six months,” Pitt told a group of residents as he posed with them for pictures Sunday and signed autographs.

Pitt and Clinton walked a street as hundreds of volunteers on either side, wielding shovels and rakes, prepared the land for homes. For hours, they cleared overgrown grass and weeds that were covering street drains and sidewalks.

The Lower 9th Ward was one of the hardest-hit neighborhoods in New Orleans when Katrina struck on Aug. 29, 2005, causing the city’s levee system to fail with devastating flooding.

“We’re working to get the grounds ready so construction can begin,” said Anne Bouthilette, a 20-year-old sophomore history major at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn.
