According to the NOLA blog, Brad Pitt is visiting New Orleans; on Monday at 11 am, Brad will launch his “Make It Right” project. The campaign aims to create over a hundred homes which will be affordable, sustainable, and ecological. At the moment, pink house-shaped pieces stand in the area where the real homes will soon stand.
Back in early November, Brad pledged $5 million and urged other to do the same.
The article talks about a personal view from Ivory Porter Webb who spoke with Angelina Jolie who is in New Orleans with Brad. Webb told Angelina “again and again how appreciative she was for her and her husband’s continued interest in New Orleans”. Angelina invited her to a party that will be held on Monday night then met up with Brad.
They must be so happy, I know they make everywhere they go their home as much as possible but they’ve often said how much they love being at their home in New Orleans, so I bet they’re thrilled to be back.
Be sure to read the whole thing.
Meanwhile, don’t forget to watch Larry King Live on CNN on December 5th – Brad will be chatting with Larry King about the “Make It Right” project and why New Orleans and its residents is so important to him. You can also hit the Larry King website to email questions. I would urge you to please consider the types of questions Brad prefers to answer because those are the ones more likely to be read on the air and actually answered (and if you can get them to throw in reference to being a PittWatch reader, we’ll all know it was your question!).

I am glad that so many of the American and international press have picked up this story because it is very easy for people to forget.

To the posters who provided all those wonderful links, thank you!
It’s so touching to see how content and effusive Brad can be when talking about worthwhile things that are so dear to him. I was really hoping that the strong wind would blow his cap off and reveal his gorgeous hair but no such luck!
A big thank you to Sherry for all her fab write-ups. Love your style and how you always inject a positive tone throughout. I’m sure your daughter had a rocking good time during her big day. Organizing a young child’s party is no small feat by any stretch of the imagination! The logistics involved and the supervising can be nightmarish. Hope you didn’t vow never again because come next year, you’ll relent because the memories are so worth it.

as well, thanks to Sophia for the interview.
it’s one of the rare interviews that doesn’t ask too much personal stuff and focuses more on the movie/persons’s career. A great interview!

Hi Brad and Angelina! I too could use some help, to build a green A-frame so I can give my mobile home away to a good family.Mississippi was hit pretty hard up here,and then we opened up the houses left and took in our Louisiana family. I’m a Mother Earth magazine follower,but meeting skepticism here in Picayune. I have some good recycled material for the building, and would love to surprise this more than deserving family. Would anyone else like to join the project??

I’m so overwhelm about the news/media in regards to Pitt family. I always include them in my prayers. Jolie-Pitt have such a big heart. I miss the interview however, thanks for all info from this site. Gosh miss the updated pictures of the children. Regards to all Jolie-Pitt fans.

I have a question and I hope someone can help me out! (It’s a little silly).
During Brad Pitt’s interview with Larry King in New Orleans, right before or after a commercial break, their was a small quote from Angelina about their relationship. I am trying to find out what she said or a clip because she stated it so beautifully! Do I sound crazy? Does anyone have any idea what I am refering too?
