I don't know about you guys, but I think Brad and Angelina love attention. Whether they are making new movies, adopting kids, or saving orphans, the pair seems to attract the public eye.
To gain attention this time Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie visited a children’s village in Amman, Jordan on October 1. The couple was invited by Her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan, who is chairman of SOS Children’s Villages in Jordan and spent time meeting and playing with abandoned children.
It was Jolie's second time in the village after previously donating to the costs of one family's home in 2003. According to Jolie, she was "anxious to see how the family was doing now."
The couple tried to raise "awareness for the fact that childhood abandonment is at risk and that everybody should support this noble cause in every part of the world." With their impressive celebrity status, they have already helped gain some attention.
We have to wonder though, do Pitt and Jolie do this work out of the kindness of their hearts or for publicity? The answer depends on your opinion of the couple.
There are many other celebrities doing noteworthy charity events, but do not receive as much hype as Brangelina. Though this time we've got to give it to them. The couple didn't publicize their charity work all over the media like some celebrities would have done, or like they have done in the past.
Don't get me wrong, what the couple did was selfless and honorable at the very least. Though I do think there are other people in the world that deserve thanks for their charity work as well.
I do agree that other people should be honored for their charity work but I must say Angelina and Brad will always have first dibs for the spotlight. They live in it! How much you want to bet that the papparazzi are waiting outside their bangin' mansion? As much as they are peace makers, there is no doubt in my mind Bradgelina have made friends with them :P
ReplyDeleteI must agree as well to the fact that Angelina and Brad get recognized for the majority of their selfless, charitable acts. Of course what they do is admirable and an inspiration to us all, but celebrities are not the only ones that advocate philanthropic efforts. Today I have been reading my other public relations class in regards to the major corporations, sport teams and fast food restaurant chains that contribute immensely in a charitable sense. It somewhat blows my mind that when I turn on the television or go to my yahoo homepage, Angelina and Brad updates will flood the screen instead of the efforts I have been reading about today.
