Brad and Angelina are taking New Orleans by storm - a storm of kindness and beauty!
Life & Style:
The couple, who have settled in New Orleans with their three children while Brad films The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons, are impressing locals with their kindness and compassion.An insider at the 4-star InterContinental Hotel, where Brad and Angie are occupying the entire 14th floor, tells Life & Style, "One night, I was about to step into the elevator when a big, surly man said nastily, 'You can't come in here!' Then I heard a woman's voice say, 'For goodness sake, let her do her job!' I entered the elevator and it was Angelina Jolie! She grabbed both my hands and said she was so sorry for the way her security guy had treated me!"
Locals have another reason to be impressed with Hollywood's reigning royalty: Brad and Angie are determined to help the city recover from Hurricane Katrina.
"Brad told us he's really committed to helping rebuild the city," says one local insider, who met Brad when he went to a neighborhood bar to watch the New Orleans Saints play the Atlanta Falcons.
Only Brad Pitt could park himself on a bar stool and do shots and then be lauded for helping out Katrina recovery. Seriously, pretty people can get away with whatever the hell they want. This family can do no wrong. Somehow, through a roll of the genetic beauty dice and a general forgetfullness on the part of the usually unforgiving public - they managed to make everyone dismiss the fact that she:
A) stole Brad away from one of America's beloved Friends
B) really digs knives and blood
C) made out with her brother at the Oscars
D) used to f*ck Billy BobThornton
I was ok with everything up until "D". That can be forgiven, but never forgotten. Dude, she used to bang Sling Blade. Ewww.

It's Billy Bob
Miss Me
Is it to hard to believe that two beautiful persons can be kind and altruist instead of being just holding on to something that for sure is going to pass, and most of the people hang to - beauty?
I feel grateful for having people like them in the world!!!

So completely true! Ugh. I don't wish them ill or anything, I just wish I woke up tomorrow morning and discovered they were a distant memory. Be gone! Shoo!

"A) stole Brad away from one of America's beloved Friends"
Hey - it takes two! Why does the "other woman" usually get blamed when a man has an affair? He has a will of his own - he's not a passive object to be stolen, and he's the one who chose to break up his marriage.

I think they are two of the more worthwhile celebrities out there. At least they are using their fame to make a difference in the world, instead of getting free loot and high quality drugs.
Billy Bob - yeah, he's pretty gross. But we all have those mistakes in our past.
As far as the adultery thing - I find that what looks one way from the outside is often far different within a marriage. They seem like a great couple, and they are trying to be decent human beings, despite their ridiculous level of fame. So I say leave them be.
