Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Gave Big To Charity In 2008

Share




Philanthropic couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt might be  making big bucks for starring in movies, but they're also big givers when it comes to their pet causes.

The Hollywood Reporter got their hands on a 2008 tax return for the couple's Jolie-Pitt foundation. The twosome gave out $6.8 million to charities, via the foundation. That sum is more than double than the amount they handed out in 2007.

Global Health topped the list with a $2 million donation. Pitt's New Orleans reconstruction project, the Make It Right Foundation received $1 million in funds, as did the Human Rights Watch. $500,000 was given to the Armed Services YMCA of the U.S. Army. Keeping it close to home, $50,000 was given to the actor's hometown, Springfield, Missouri Public School.

Is this Brangelina's deep, dark secret?

Katherine Heigl & Baby Naleigh Enjoy A Girls Day Out

Share




Once again, we're catching a glimpse of Katherine Heigl's adorable adopted baby girl, Naleigh Kelley. The two ladies stepped out of their home in Los Angeles to attend a baby shower for Katherine's sister, Meg, and for the event, the twosome were dressed in complementary outfits.

Mommy Katherine was decked out in a burgundy ensemble, little Naleigh was looking super-cute in a purple and paisley number. As well she should, since today is her birthday. Happy Birthday, little one!

Heigl has said of her daughter, "She was actually born the day before me in November, which I thought was really serendipitous and just kind of like a sign. I realized just recently that I basically forfeited my birthday for the rest of my life." But from the look on Katherine's face, she doesn't mind one bit.

Rihanna Denies Saying Size Matters

Share




New controversy has been surrounding pop star, Rihanna, and this time, it stems from an interview with German magazine, Bravo. Reportedly, the sexy singer described her ideal mate to the publication by saying, "He has to be good in bed and the size matters. You know what I mean? Inner beauty counts as well, but without a toy it doesn't make it fun."

However, just because the edgy pop star is comfortable revealing herself on stage, doesn't mean that she's ready to dish about her bedroom habits to a tabloid. Gossip Cop chatted with a source close to the singer who denies Rihanna ever uttered the quote.

Perhaps something Ri-Ri said got misconstrued in the translation. Maybe she just said she likes it when guys are "gross" in bed.

John Mayer Needs More Sex

Share




Even though he's currently holding the title for number one album with the release of Battle Studies, John Mayer still isn't as happy as he could be. The singer continually laments the public nature of his high-profile relationships and claims that he's not really the heartbreaking lothario he's made out to be.

Mayer tells the New York Times, "It's crazy to me that in my head, that being 32 and dating women is going to get me in trouble." He adds, "I should be having sex with more girls."

I agree. Because if he's busy having sex, then he won't have any free time to make mediocre music.

Share



After she hit the red carpet for the premiere of The Twilight Saga: New Moon wearing a stunning red dress, Ashley Greene is once again stepping out in a bright color This time, at the Hollywood Blvd Cinemas in Woodridge, Illinois, the actress turned up to sign autographs for fans in a bright yellow jacket with a big smile on her face.

Ashley recently revealed to People magazine, that she likes to play games, but not in an obnoxious, metaphorical way. With her Twilight co-star, Kellan Lutz, Ashley has enjoyed many a board game challenge.

She admits, "We have game nights on the weekends. We always do Taboo, Pictionary and Clue and we always battle on the Wii. He always beats me." And once the throng of paparazzi started to grow with the actors' increasing fame, the gang started meeting up regularly.

Peter Facinelli adds, "Kellan Lutz bought it. So it was me, Kellan, Ashley and Xavier [Samuel], who plays Riley in Eclipse. And Ashley won. But her character is clairvoyant so I think she had a little bit of an advantage." And here I was, thinking vampires only liked to play baseball.

Two Injured By Bulls On Tom Cruise & Cameron Diaz Movie Set

Share




As it turns out, the high-flying action scenes on the set of Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz's movie, Knight & Day (formerly known as Wichita) have proven a bit too dangerous for two women in Cadiz, Spain.

According to BBC News, "The women were hurt when the animals broke free from the set in Cadiz and ran through the streets before being captured on a nearby beach." As a result, filming in Cadiz has temporarily ceased until "a new plan that guarantees the safety of local residents" has been formulated, according to a rep for the city's mayor.

Until then, we'll have to content ourselves with this bird's eye view of Cammie and Tom as they continue to film in downtown Salzburg, Austria.

2009 American Music Awards: Men

Share




Per usual, Ne-Yo led the pack of men at the American Music Awards last night with a decidedly dapper look befitting a gentleman. The R&B singer sported his trademark hat and fitted suit, along with a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a "too cool for school" facial expression.

Perez Hilton didn't disappoint in an awkward white suit, white-blond pompadour and severe eyebrows. Ice cream, anyone? On the opposite end of the spectrum, Chris Daughtry showed up in standard alt-rock uniform of jeans, leather and man cleavage.

Representing for the Jackson family, along with sister Janet Jackson, Jermaine Jackson donned a black silk suit and as an homage to his late brother, Michael Jackson, he accessorized it with a single, sparkly white glove.

But to keep things from getting too mournful, Captain Morgan showed up with a pair of perky wenches on his arm, making sure that things stayed light.

So, who looked better at the 2009 American Music Awards, the men or the ladies?

Check out the individual photo galleries for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Rihanna, Fergie, Shakira, Adam Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Alex Meraz, Leona Lewis, Pete Wentz, Selena Gomez, Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Keys, Bobby Trendy, Ne-Yo, Val Kilmer, Kristen Bell, Sofia Vergara, Paula Abdul and Janet Jackson.
