Rumer Willis is one of the most beautiful people in the world...and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are two of the most influential.
Time enlisted George Clooney to write an essay about Brad and Angie for their annual 100 Most Influential People issue. Here's what George wrote:
It is one thing to talk about the problems of the world and quite another to actually try to change things.As a team, actors Brad Pitt, 44, and Angelina Jolie, 32, have served as our goodwill ambassadors worldwide. They brought help to Pakistan in 2005, after a catastrophic earthquake killed tens of thousands of people and left millions homeless. They have tended to the poor and sick in Africa. And they've raised global awareness—and contributed $1 million of their own money—for the victims of atrocities in Darfur. Brad co-founded Not on Our Watch, an organization set up to focus global attention on Darfur and other hot spots.
In the U.S., Brad and Angelina didn't just talk about, or even just throw money at, the tragic fallout from Hurricane Katrina. They actually moved to New Orleans and have set about trying to make right what so many have made wrong. Brad established a project to finance and build 150 new homes in the Ninth Ward.
Angelina has worked tirelessly through the United Nations on behalf of refugees around the world, touring border camps in Africa, Asia and Latin America and lobbying on Capitol Hill. The couple cares for three adopted children, from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam, in addition to their biological daughter.
There are hundreds of people who could be honored for their good works, but I've seen Brad and Angelina firsthand, and their commitment together is truly impressive.
Wow...what a generic piece of gush. I mean, it's fine if you wanna praise them George - that is the point of the essay - but at least inject some personality into it.
Oh, and by the way...Time listed Brad and Angie not under Artists & Entertainers, but Heroes & Pioneers. I guess that's appropriate, since neither of them is an artist, nor are either of them particularly entertaining.
