From one of the greatest disasters in American history, “Make it Right” is laying the groundwork for new prosperity and new beginnings on a foundation of affordable green housing. The discussion will include specific stories of the recovery in New Orleans, and launch a dialogue with CGI members on the future of green infrastructure and sustainable cities.” The whole thing with CGI is that the money being given away isn’t from Bill Clinton or his foundation. CGI just facilitates the exchange of government, business, and grant investments into certain charities or projects President Clinton and his team approve of. It’s a pretty smart program, and I’m looking forward to reading coverage of Brad’s speech tomorrow.

I think it's one of those cut and paste jobs, though, as Angie has said some of the things, such as the birthday quote and quote about it being chaos, in other interviews...word for word. Also, some of the "interview quotes" just don't sound like things she'd say. In addition, I doubt she'd give an interview to OK (answering a few questions on the red carpet, maybe, but not an actual sit-down interview). Anyway, fake interview or not, it's a good one! :) kimmy- Thanks for sharing the interview.

That rumor was quickly proven false. I'm guessing this latest rumor is just an off-shoot of that one.

It is so nice to see that MIR is being used as a good example that others can follow to help solve housing problems. It would be really nice if others will pick up on the idea of green housing. I've heard Brad say in interviews that the people who've moved into the MIR houses are really saving on utility bills and at the same time are environmentally friendly. Wouldn't it be nice if all the houses are like that. joliepittfanic, wanted to ask you again for the link to your JP website. For some reason my bookmarks were deleted. Thanks.

Day after day, week after week we see celebrities just wandering around wasting their lives. So many have personal problems. Maybe if they would follow the lead of Brad and Angie their lives would improve for the best. They would be helping themselves and more important helping others who need help.

Spoken like a true fan. it's funny how teenagers unconsciously emulate their favorite actors with the way they talk and dress up. i'm amazed at brad's appeal to people of all ages and i'm glad that someone like Brad is a very good role model for teenagers not just because of his work but more importantly, because of his contributions outside the movie industry. my 17 year old son is a fan of brad pitt movies. he collects his movies on dvd. some of brad’s earlier works are kind of heavy and philosophical but that seems to be the kind of nourishment kids want to feed their brains nowadays. anyway, one day we were talking about actors who played superheroes at one point in their lives. george c played batman once and we were discussing how brad did not get a chance to play one. my son said, he is Achilles (Troy) what could be better that that?” Spoken like a true fan. it’s funny how teenagers unconsciously emulate their favorite actors with the way they talk and dress up. i’m amazed at brad’s appeal to people of all ages and i’m glad that someone like Brad is a very good role model for teenagers not just because of his work but more importantly, because of his contributions outside the movie industry.
