Hey! I'm excited that she went to my country and gave a little fame to DR. We have help tremendously the Haitians. Americans tout their charity but don't mention the generosity of DR

I still think she is a trashy homewrecker and i also agree she should fly back home and meet with all the jobless and homeless people here..I think she is PHONEY!!!

Maybe Angelina would like to fly home and meet with all of the Americans who've lost jobs and homes. And those who are now homeless? I truly feel that help and publicity is needed to address this issue as well.

All i can say is "ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT ACTUALLY WALKS THE WALK" and not just run their mouths and BTW--i think she could give a flying F**K, if the camera's were there or not.

Angelina & Brad are awesome philanthropists!! They use their fortune & fame to do good deeds in the world. AND they are grateful that they are able to share their wealth with people in need. I hope they are eternally blessed....
