Brangelina donate $1 million to Iraq War kids
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt once again prove they're so much better than you, donating $1 million for educational aid to kids affected by the Iraq War, both in Iraq and the U.S., Reuters reports.
Their Jolie-Pitt Foundation ponied up $500k to three groups in Iraq that will help about 5,700 kids with books and school supplies, the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict said. The Armed Services YMCA Operation Hero Program also gets a half-mil for tutors and counseling for 2,500 children who have a military parent who was killed in the war.
The Juice* is so conflicted about Brangelina; We want to rip on them for doing things like buying French chateaus and $300,000 coffee tables, but then they go and use their powers for good, not evil. It's like, they're responsible or something!

Make this your daily (heck, hourly) stop for a fresh serving of pop smarts and cool things from around Tampa Bay and the nation. Compiled by tbt* jack-of-all-trades Joshua Gillin and his merry band of rogue journalists, it pokes fun at ridiculous celebrity worship, collects entertainment tidbits and features fun links to amuse and amaze you and your friends.
No @@ Responsible would mean checking out charities and NOT giving money to anything that remotely involves the YMCA.
YMCA : BAD
