Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have demonstrated their great philanthropy without much fanfare-- but their U.S. federal taxes tell the truth on how much they've been giving back. This couple donated more than 8 million dollars to the Jolie Pitt Foundation just in 2006, with Pitt giving $4,402,317 away and Jolie donating $4,123,613, FoxNews.com has reported.
After the two donated their $8 million, $2,367,935 of it was donated to special causes, with $1 million apiece going to "Doctors Without Borders (International Division)" and "Global AIDS Alliance," along with $137,935 given to the Namibia Red Cross Action Program, and $100,000 to the Daniel Pearl Foundation, Global Green USA, and the Epidermolysis Bulloma Medical Research Foundation. An art park in LA also received $20,000 and $5,000 to two orphanages of Angelina's choice.
As if I wasn't already super-impressed already, the Foundation also managed to limit their costs to $27,000.

Brittny Gastineau was caught leaving Villa Lounge in Los Angeles, where she was looking-- dare I say it?-- just great and perhaps a touch healthier as well as compared to last year. But this time, the dress, the hair-- perfect. I may not be a mega-fan, but I'll give her credit where it's due! I can imagine that Brittny got to sleep in after she went out, what with all those projects going on and all. . . ;)

Tori Spelling wants a place in the new 90210 spin-off show. She's admitted that she's totally open to offers if it goes ahead, and she's looking a new role like one as a "young stepmom."
"My dad always wanted to do a new version of 90210, so I'm sure he will be beaming from above!" Spelling told People.com. "And I'd love to somehow be a part of it. That as well would make my dad proud! I am a mom now, proud to say, but obviously too young to have a teenager, so maybe I could be one of the main character's young stepmom. Playing the funny sex ed teacher at the high school would be funny, too, considering Donna Martin was America's most infamous virgin. The show was a huge part of my life. Ten years! I miss it dearly."
That's a very sweet statement coming from Tori-- motherhood seems to be quite mellowing. But shouldn't 90210 be left well alone? Would a spin-off bomb? Not like Tori would care-- isn't she desperate for work anyway?

Lopez has appeared publicly for the first time with her (incredibly cute) twins Max and Emme on the new cover of People, insisting that she conceived twins the old-fashioned way.
"It was natural. We didn't do in vitro. Everyone assumed that, because we had twins, "Lopez told the magazine. Jennifer continued by describing life so far with her three-week-old twins, saying: "You hear people say this all the time, but it's not until you experience it yourself that you can put it into your own words. Your heart is connected to them."
The couple is raising their children in their Long Island home, where where they have two nurses on call. Regardless, the couple has insisted that they do most of the work themselves, with Anthony saying "It'll be three in the morning and we'll be like 'Next feeding in 30-minutes!' OK, cool."

Britney Spears has failed to get her driving without a license charges dropped, despite her lawyers claiming that she's a changed woman. The charges stem from the August 2007 incident in which Spears banged her Mercedes into a parked car with photographers watching.
Spears might have settled the matter with the car's owner, but Los Angeles City attorney has asserted that "It's the fairest way to treat her. We're not affected by her celebrity status."
Really? Is that even hard to do anymore? Britney's been spending her fair share of time in court recently and another little speedbump, legally speaking, is hardly something that will get her sympathy. Her trial has been scheduled for trial in June-- I'm still curious of the outcome regardless.

Tom Brady was seen out for a jog in Greenwich Village this week. He was looking pretty pleased with himself as he ran through the NYC-- perhaps he should have jogged faster to wipe the smirk off his face? Even if that wasn't his aim, he'd certainly have to be faster than that to
escape all that drama.
