Brad Pitt Gives Back on American Idol – Reminder
I just wanted to pop in on this lovely weekend evening to remind those of you who don’t regularly watch American Idol (and if you’re not, what a shame, you’re missing out on the awesome David Cook!) that this coming week on April 9th, the regular show will be put aside for their second season of Idol Gives Back. The special event, which won an Emmy for last year’s episode, raises awareness as well as money for six different… More »

Brad Pitt’s Prototype Housing
I thought this was really interesting. While surfing around, I found someone who went to see the Make It Right area in New Orleans, checking out the pink houses. They also had an exhibit showing some possible prototypes for the houses that could be built in the Lower 9th Ward and she took pictures – see them all here.
Some of them are pretty neat. I wonder how much influence Brad Pitt had on the designs, if he… More »
Brad Pitt’s Make It Right Status
Just to keep you up to date, today I checked in on Brad Pitt’s Make It Right Campaign over on the official site.
So far, enough donations have come in to cover a full 65 of the 150 homes that they need. That’s almost half, and that’s not counting the partial home donations. Of course, it’s not JUST us, but I know that many of you rose to the challenge I set forward back in December, so… More »

This morning Brad Pitt was in the studio to pre-tape an interview with Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa for an upcoming episode of Live With Regis and Kelly. The reason for such early pre-taping is that the episode will be aired next Monday morning on Decemeber 24th/Christmas Eve and the show won’t be taping live that day because of the holidays.
The main focus, of course, was the Make It Right Campaign for New Orleans. However, as a long-time… More »
