The Brangelina Money Mystery

AND BABY MAKES MILLIONS
Brangelina and Shiloh
Radar gets results! Or so we'd like to think. After repeated inquiries over the past three days about the fate of the millions in People-magazine money Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt promised to donate to childrens' charities last June, the couple made a surprise announcement ... to the Associated Press.

Yesterday afternoon, a spokeswoman for the couple told AP about the hastily formed (and inventively named) Jolie/Pitt Foundation, saying it had pledged $1 million to Global Action for Children and $1 million to Doctors Without Borders. The news more or less resolves any lingering questions about what the pair actually planned to do with their Shiloh windfall, reported to be $4.1 million (though People disputes that figure.)

Back in June, reports said the dough was destined for Unicef, but officials there told Radar they had not received a pledge of any kind. As for the UN High Commission on Refugees, where Jolie is a goodwill ambassador, spokesmen there referred all calls to Jolie's Geneva-based "handler," Shannon Boyd, a UN employee "who looks exclusively after Angelina Jolie," and who never returns our calls.

Meanwhile, Radar has learned one of Jolie's other would-be charitable ventures has been postponed until the end of the year. Last summer, the actress inked a deal to be the spokesmodel for luxury apparel line St. John Knits on the condition she could spearhead its new philanthropic effort. The not-for-profit was reportedly going to be launched at the end of August, just in time for Fashion Week, but Jolie and St. John had yet to determine the purpose of the unnamed foundation and its launch was put on hold. "It's still in the developmental stages," says a St. John spokesperson. "We haven't decided whether it will be devoted to one cause or to several."

While the global obsession with the world's most beautiful and selfless couple seems to be a boon for charities, Brangelina isn't above making a bit of change on the side. "They've made tons of money through Getty," crows a high-level magazine editor, describing how the couple recently tried shopping photos of themselves leaving a restaurant to the photo agency for $150,000.

Same trash than before, leave this people alone...

I can bet money that Jennifer Aniston is your source, sounds just like her...

Vendictive and with nothing to do...

Bad combination...

Maybe she can have another "necessary" plastic surgery - like shutting her mouth up!
