The scandal of celebrity relationships

Gossip and scandal are everywhere when it comes to stars and celebrities around the world.  Not many people can resist a bit of gossip about the celebrities that make the news.

Award ceremonies are a great way to see what everyone is wearing and how bad or good they look wearing it.  Watching a popular starlet stumble her way to the podium wearing an unflattering dress can lead to weeks of gossip about what not to wear when the cameras are hot and ready.  Magazines are filled with the latest fashion mistakes that the stars make when they venture out into public places.

Celebrity relationships continue to baffle most of us.  What makes motion picture stars such as Brad Pitt leave one relationship for another?  Celebrity gossip has followed Mr. Pitt as he baffles the media with his behavior.

The scandal of celebrity relationships gone wrong is always at the forefront of the news, covering the pages of serious newspapers all the way to gossip magazines that line the shelves at the grocery store.  Stars range from movie starlets such as Meg Ryan to music icons such as Madonna.  Celebrity news and gossip can be found in magazines, on the radio, and on the television screen.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie, partner to Brad Pitt, is the star of several blockbuster movies. During the shooting of the first Tomb Raider movie, much of which was shot on location in Cambodia, Jolie came to witness the beautiful environment, immersive culture, and rampant poverty of the nation.

After Cambodia, Anglina Jolie took a trip to Sierra Leone and Tanzania in 2001, The purpose of that fateful trip was to discover first hand the conditions that refugees must suffer. The UNHCR assists over 20 million refugees in 120 countries around the world. They were created to protect and safeguard the well-being and rights of refugees. They believe that refugees have a right to seek asylum in another country and will actively seek to engage nations to integrate and support those refugees.

Angelina’s contribution has greatly assisted in generating more widespread attention to this worthy cause. Though in Jolie’s case this is not merely superficial. To further increase public awareness, Jolie has released several personal journals of her experiences during field visits.

As well as the physical effort that Jolie contributes, her foundation with partner Brad Pitt, called the Jolie-Pitt Foundation recently donated USD$1 million to groups working in Darfur. Darfur is a region in war ravaged Sudan, which Jolie has visited three times already.
