Brad Pitt Does Right in New Orleans

Brad Pitt Building Homes For Katrina Victims
It’s really great to see celebrities doing some good on this earth. Take notice, Paris Hilton – who at most has covered herself in gold paint to sell champagne in a can – you could be doing more with your riches.



Brad Pitt, no doubt taking save-the-world lessons from wife Angelina Jolie, is on a mission to help rebuild New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina’s destruction (over two years ago, mind you). He’s even put his career on hold to help out. Now that’s dedication.

Pitt said of the project, "It's going to take a long time to address the issues here, but this is a viable, viable start.”
