So There's More to Brad Pitt Under That Chiseled Bod and Butter-Melting Looks...

For some reason, Newsweek decided to look the other way and focus the spotlight at the backdrop and named Brad Pitt one of the 15 People Who Make America Great.

Surprisingly, his paramour
Angelina Jolie was missing from the list.

In fact, the magazine credited the 1998 People Sexiest Man Alive for bringing Namimbia at the forefront of celebrity-crazed public consciousness, again denying full credit to Jolie.

It says: If it wasn’t for Brad Pitt, most Americans would never have heard of Namibia. They might not know about AIDS orphans in South Africa, or the plight of children in Haiti, or what transpired at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

The Newsweek article said Pitt decided to get back at the paparazzis by dragging them to the underdeveloped countries that desperately needed world attention. And to make the vengeance complete, the Namimbian government collaborated with this plan by capturing and jailing the ethically-challenged photographers when they try to get a snap of the ‘royal family’.

He’s finding out the consequences of his actions, though. Now their Malibu home is surrounded by an ant army of clickers invading land, sea, and air making sure they don’t escape without unwillingly nor unwittingly posing for the cameras.

But seriously, Mr. Pitt proudly announced they got a hefty $4 million from pics of their newborn Shiloh, all of which will go to the different charities he and Angelina are supporting.

And before many of you decide that Brad is nothing but an Angelina tagalong, you should be educated that he’s been long using his pretty boy looks to funnel attention into Africa and other impoverished nations.

Therefore his current humanitarian efforts were not the results of making amends for dumping Jennifer Aniston and hooking up with Angelina. The guy further claimed he looks up to Bono (not Angelina) as his role model for his humanitarian works, calling the U2 frontman "a wonderfully dedicated beast unto himself".

Brad and Angelina’s adoption binge is not over. So the race, rather, the betting is on for the country where Brangelina will adopt their next child. Building their own little global community, you might say.

I don't think 1 1/2 years is "long" shining a light onto the continent of Africa. So, I absolutely disagree that he should be there, at all. I still remember his comment while making the Tibetian movie about China. He basically said he didn't know anything about world politics and he was just an actor so don't expect it of him. I think it was a blatant attempt to sell magazines. I was quite offended for the people in the background who have done more and for much longer. I think leaving Jolie off was quite obvious, she does seem to detract from the "do-good" image Pitt is trying to portray. No matter what she seems to do she just can't shake the "homewrecker" image/label.
