Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt again prove to be the supercouple of America. If not of the whole world. Aren’t they just called “Brangelina” for that? So they did not stand back in the earthquake desaster in Haiti and donated a sum of 1 million dollars for the victims. That is exactly the amount China [...]
