The respect I have for George Clooney shot way through the roof this evening. The interview Ann Curry did with him was truly Must-See TV. The viewer got a chance to see the roots of Clooney’s generosity. I’ve always respected those celebrities who use what I call “the full equity of their fame” to make a difference in the world: Edward Norton, Don Cheadle, Barbara Streisand, Matt Damon, Whoopi Goldberg, Brad Pitt, etc. I love their activism, and I always promote their projects.

I don’t understand the belief that entertainment celebrities should not have a opinion on anything beyond movies and music. They care about the environment, pay taxes, and have a deep concern about the world future generations will inhabit.

Clooney and his buddy Brad Pitt believe that if the cameras are going to be on them, they should be socially responsible and try to focus our attention on issues not getting much-needed publicity. If you ask me, that’s a brilliant strategy.

I don’t normally write about celebrities on my blog. But when celebrities use the full measure of their fame to make a difference in the lives of millions, they’ll always get the love from me. Yes, this is why Angelina Jolie’s picture graces the top of this post.

The new interview with Angelina in Parade Magazine is a great reminder of why this woman rocks. She talks about her role as a mother, the paparazzi, her early movie roles, and, her relationship with Brad Pitt.

I love that both her and Pitt speak for the voiceless, nameless, faceless millions, and, continue to give millions to make a difference in every corner of our planet. While I liked Jolie and Pitt separately, I truly love them as a couple.
