Angelina Jolie Has Been Busy

While Brad Pitt has been busy in Los Angeles, giving back for Make It Right, Angelina Jolie has been busy on the other side of the country.

Angie was in Washington, D.C. on Monday with Maddox and Pax Jolie-Pitt and the three had a little outing to the Air and Space Museum. (Cute photo!) It’s a great museum, I remember when I went, I can just imagine how much fun they must have had.

Next, Angelina attended the Global Leadership Awards at the Kennedy Center that same night in Washington. The Washington Post has a picture of her with Mariane Pearl, as well as other Vital Voices Global Partnership members – you can check it out in their slideshow as well as read the full article. Angie presented an award to good friend and fellow humanitarian and journalist Mariane Pearl:

Jolie, greatly pregnant and radiant in a flowing taupe gown, stepped onto the stage to speak glowingly of award recipient Mariane Pearl, the widow of Wall Street Journal correspondent Daniel Pearl, who was killed in Pakistan. Her book, “A Mighty Heart,” was made into a film in which Jolie portrayed Mariane Pearl. Last night the actress talked of Pearl’s special gift as a mother and an example in “courage, hope and tolerance.”

As if that wasn’t enough, on Tuesday Angelina got up and hit the Washington Club so she could speak to the Council of Foreign Relations at their “Iraq, Education, and Children of Conflict” forum. The vice president of the council had this to say about Angelina:

“Angelina Jolie is accomplished in her field and has demonstrated serious interest in issues such as Darfur, international education and refugees. As such, her profile fits very well with other young professionals we’ve selected as the next generation of foreign policy leaders.”

There are great pictures of a very beautiful, glowing, pregnant Angelina leaving the club after the forum right here.

Whew. She’s been very busy! No rest for that pregnant mom!

(Thank you to all the different people who sent me all these various news sources. I had to make an urgent trip to the doctor for some epic dizziness, so I’ve lost track of who sent what, I’m so sorry. But I thank you so much, you guys are such great Pittwatchers!)
