Will Brad and Angelina Ever Get Married?

According to www.eparsa.fr and The Today Show, Brad Pitt would marry Angelina Jolie if the kids want them to get married.

“I’m really proud of this family. I look at my sons and daughters. I look at my sons and my daughters, and one’s from Vietnam and one’s from Cambodia and one’s from Ethiopia, and … they’re all brothers and sisters. And they’re fighting, they’re laughing, they’re going into hysterics and staying up late, and they’re messing with their parents, and they’re driving me crazy and I’m really proud. “I truly feel rich being around them. It’s a rich home, and each one of ‘em offers so much to the mix.” Pitt said, “Surprising, though: Six kids is not as easy as you would think.”

“If we feel it’s important to our kids, we would,” he said about getting married. “It seems to get cheapened somehow as it goes through the filter and the airwaves. I just want to keep it close to the chest,” Pitt said about wanting to keep his private life private.

I think it would be great if they got married. Hopefully one of theses day, especially if the children want to, but they do not have to wait on the children to decide.

Homes in New Orleans

According to Mike Celizic TODAYShow.com contributor, Brad Pitt organized a charity to rebuild the 9^th ward in New Orleans, after Hurricane Katrina came through. The organization is called “Make It Right.”

In the video of The Today Show, Brad Pitt is setting in front of some of the charity’s work, “Now you see it. There’s actually families here who are home for the holidays. And it’s really, really cool,” Brad told TODAY’s Ann Curry.

Brad and Angelina Jolie even have a house in New Orleans. They call it their “adopted hometown.”

The people working on the houses are going to keep busy, “This time next year, you’re going to see 100 homes here,” Brad said. “And not only that . . . these homes, what you don’t see is the way they work. It’s a sunny day. Those meters are running backward. They are off the grid. This is the road to affordable housing that you see right here.”

So what else is special about the houses is that they are being built on pilings, deep foundations, with carports underneath. If they have a flood again, the houses will ride about the water and they will survive.

Great Idea. I cannot wait for the people of New Orleans all have a place to call their home.

Angelina’s Barbie Problem

Angelina Jolie is having a problem with finding a Barbie for Zahara, who is from Ethiopia, according to www.entertainmentwise.com. Zahara wants her hair to look like her mom’s hair.

“. . . Zahara, who’s Ethiopian, wants her hair to look like mine – because it won’t.”

“I’ve looked for a Barbie that’s African, but the African Barbie has straight hair.”

I am not sure where they went, but when I was growing up there was African American Barbie with curly hair. Maybe the Barbie Companies will come up with an African Barbie with curly hair. I remember getting upset because the dolls had blond hair, and mine was reddish brown. Finally they came out with something close to my hair. She had blue black hair.
