Making a difference

Here we go again, another movie star in the news. I wonder what relationship trouble or drug rehab it involves this time........

But wait, something new!!! A star is actually doing something to make a difference!!!

I think it is pretty awesome to see that Angelina Jolie has begun using her fame and money make a difference in this world. This is in direct contrast from the train wrecks her sisters in fame have made lately (Paris, Britney, Lindsey, Anna). Even better, when most show business folks make political statements in oscar speeches and wear trendy ribbons to show support for the cause-du-jour, Ms. Jolie is actually getting involved.

She has donated money to children's causes around the world and has now adopted three children from third world countries (Ethiopia, Cambodia, and Vietnam). I really respect people who put their money where their mouth is.

Say, if she is willing do adopt kids from impoverished third-world countries; I'm from West Virginia and could definitely use the money. I could see my self calling Angelina Jolie, Mommy.
