Brad and Angelina Release $2 Million into the Wild


Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated gobs of money again. But I bet you can’t guess where this heap of cash went to.

According to Us Magazine, they donated $2 million to the Naankuse Wildlife Sanctuary, where the family stayed during their visit in Namibia.

The sanctuary is home to mostly orphaned and injured animals that cannot be released back into the wild. There’s also a super fancy place to stay there, while at the same time being encouraged to donate your money evidently!

The whole Brangie Bunch was there over the holidays, which is dear to Angelina because it’s where she gave birth to Shiloh back in 2006. Poor girl is probably wondering when they’re going to go to Disney World.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt donate $2 million to wildlife sanctuary in Namibia


Angelina said Rudie and Marlice van Vuuren, the owners of the sanctuary, are old friends. "We continue to be impressed by their hard work and dedication to the people and conservation of the land and wildlife of Namibia," she said.

The Jolie-Pitt family spent Christmas together at the exclusive lodge, where staff say the children helped to feed and care for orphaned baby baboons and foxes and saw a leopard released back into the wild.

The van Vuurens said in the statement that they were "overjoyed" that Angelina and Brad chose Naankuse as the foundation's partner in Namibia.

Dara Barrett, head of finance at the Naankuse sanctuary, told The Associated Press that the money would be used primarily to benefit the community of San bushmen on the farm and surrounding areas.

"Some of the donated funds will be used in the running of a clinic which provides free medical care to the community of bushmen, including the treatment of malnutrition, tuberculosis and HIV," she said.

The remainder of the funds will be used for large animal conservation projects and other San community projects which have yet to be identified, Barrett said.

Pitt's 'obsession' with ghosts

Brad Pitt has reportedly developed a strange obsession with ghosts – mainly the phenomenon called deep-trance spirit channelling

The ‘ Troy’ actor has reportedly developed the inclination after watching a US TV documentary, titled ''Tuning In: Spirit Channelers in America'' .

"Brad is having sort of a midlife crisis. He is asking the big questions, like ''What do I want to do with the rest of my life?” said a source.

The source added: "He has also taken up deep-trance spirit channeling, trying to commune with ghosts, after watching the documentary ''Tuning In: Spirit Channelers in America'' . Angelina is trying to be supportive but is now worried that Brad may become obsessed."

In fact, Pitt’s curiosity has gone so far that he wants to explore his hobby in a new movie, but partner Angelina Jolie is trying to talk him out of it, reports China Daily .

The source added to America's Star magazine: "Brad is looking for a script about channeling, but Angelina is afraid that if he tries to bring it into the mainstream, people will really think he's gone off the deep end."
