I'm agreeing with statement by Brad Pitt about the focus of the media's attention on him.
"It's a strange focus, isn't it? That my relationships or relationship mishaps take precedent over something like that," Pitt said. "I understand it's about entertainment, but man, it's misguided a bit, isn't it?"
The "that" he is referring to is the various charities he is stumping for. Well, Brad of course that is what America is always going to focus on. Celebs stumping for charities are just the background noise of Hollywood. And people like Sean Penn pushing their pet causes down your throat and eating dinner with murderous dictators doesn't help things.
A rich, handsome celeb *must* give back or they will be branded selfish, egotistical, morons. (Well they are still branded that but at least some animals, AIDS patients, downtrodden people sometimes get some money, help, or at least get to hang around with Angelina Jolie.)
He is right that some focus should be on the various credible NGOs out that are out there helping folks. It shouldn't be on his life and who is is currently dating. It is sometimes hard when the entertainment press (and in this case even the star) doesn't seem to care about those organizations at all.
The article says he is against poverty and AIDS in Africa. Well who isn't? Brad himself doesn't even bring up the name of the organization that he is fronting. (He may have in the Sawyer interview, but not here.) How are we supposed to take the focus off of you when you are talking about fruit juice, and 500K pictures, and your no-look policy with the tabloids?
He is blocking the light getting to the poverty-stricken African AIDS victims with his popping around Angelina's bed while his wife is out of town. Then he wonders why people are focusing on that stuff? Uh, Brad maybe you should think about that organization first and your carnal needs second.
