There was a lot going on in the Jolie-Pitt world this weekend. To start with, I got a number of emails from fans who were panicking, saying that they’d heard, via the News of the World website that Brad and Angelina had officially broken up and that lawyers were involved.
Later, of course, their representative felt that the situation had gotten so large and out of control that a press release had to be sent out simply saying that the pair were still together.
I very rarely post break-up rumors here on the site because, to this point, 100% of them are false. And I know that you, the fans, want to read about the positive things about the family, not about the potential negatives. Believe me when I say that the ONLY time I will ever post a break up rumor about the couple is after it has been refuted or IF it ever happens.
Moving on – Angelina has used the brief spotlight on the pair to call awareness to SOS Children’s Villages.
“We are all wondering how to help the people of Haiti and how to reach the most vulnerable. With 500 villages in 132 countries, SOS offers a family-based village model that provides for the holistic needs of a child — a caring parent, family, community, education and support.
SOS is the largest organization in the world that addresses the issue of children without parental care. SOS has been in Haiti for over three decades, now raising over 300 orphaned and abandoned children and caring for 4,000 more impoverished children and families to help prevent child abandonment.
That was before the earthquake. Now the needs for orphaned children are almost incalculable. SOS has been pulling resources together to provide temporary shelter for unaccompanied children, safe areas for mothers, and food, medicine, trauma counseling, and reunification programs for families and children.
SOS was there before the earthquake, and during it – but most importantly, SOS will be there for many years to come – to raise these children, in their communities until they are self sufficient adults.
As a long time supporter of SOS, I have visited many of these unique villages personally. I can vouch for their commitment and care for the children. As the Haiti situation unfolds, and we all focus in on ways to help these desperate children – I ask you to please learn more about and consider supporting SOS Children’s Villages.”

If you can help SOS Children’s Villages in any way, please do so. My heart breaks for all of the children who have lost their parents, and for those who have nowhere else to go.
Okay, and for good news, the Saints are on their way to the Superbowl! You’ll remember that a very short time ago, Brad took Maddox to a Saints game, and now they’re headed to the Superbowl! Congrats Saints! I wonder if Brad will score some tickets for he and Mad to go see the Superbowl!
I hope you all had a great weekend and that the week ahead is one filled with only good things!
