Brad, you almost had me fooled

June 10 . 2008 – 6.21 pm

Oh, Brad Pitt, you had me swooning when you announced that you were going to help people rebuild their homes in New Orleans and then went a step further and said you were going to make them Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified green homes.  How can anyone be so gorgeous and so smart?  God must have sent you down from heaven to save Mother Earth.  Oh, wait! Let me snap out of it.

Brad announced his new project this week, and it is to design a 5-star, environmentally-friendly luxury hotel in Dubai.  What???!!!  No!  Just when I thought you got it, you decide to build an overly expensive hotel on man-made islands that destroyed the Coral reef there.  What can you be thinking? You have taken the wrong path.  The only known coral reef off the shores of Dubai was destroyed during the dredging work to build these islands.  Turtle nesting sites have been destroyed, natural currents rerouted and silt muddied what were crystal-clear waters, they say.  Angelina, can you stop him?

Multiple Personalities (OR: 3 minutes of delightfully wasted time)

Who doesn’t love the name game? Here is a little twist. Visit howmanyofme.com, and you can find out how many people in the United States share your full name. While they don’t promise an exact figure, they will give you a ballpark number based on the statistical information that is available. I was interested to find out that there are 5 people in the US named Brad Pitt, although there will always be only one in my mind. While there are only 14 people who share my married name, 504 copy cats were laying claim to my maiden name. I’m not sure whether to feel like more or less of an individual. Oh well, at least my name isn’t Mary Smith. There are 40,293 of her!

Rebecca St. James Has A Crush On Brad Pitt

May 2 . 2007 – 12.17 pm

So she’s dating his brother-in-law? Huh? Turns out this is a bigger career move than even Daddy Smallbone could have orchestrated. Grammy-winning Christian pop star, abstinence role model, extreme Christian, Rebecca St. James [nee: Smallbone] is dating James Haven, none other than Angelina Jolie’s brother. Yes, THAT brother. The one she made out with at the 2000 Oscars? And by she, I mean, Angelina. Eww. Cause little Becky Smallbone was probably still in home school/high school back then, which makes it hard to go to anything in Hollywood. So this means that if Becky and James are indeed sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g and nothing more, (duh!) but they become Mr. & Mrs. Haven, that makes this nearly finished Christian blandster Auntie Becky to Brad Pitt’s children.
