They host dinner party to raise money for New Orleans
Sunday, 26 August 2007
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie treated their kids to the quintessential New York City weekend, complete with a trip to a hot-dog cart and a carousel ride in Central Park.
Then on Saturday night, it was all about helping a good cause: The pair took a helicopter to the Hamptons to host a dinner party raising money to help rebuild New Orleans.
Both dressed in white, Jolie, 32, and Pitt, 43, left Manhattan and flew into Westhampton for the event (they were diverted from nearby East Hampton because of fog).
The party was held at the home of Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff, the married couple who co-founded the Tribeca Film Festival with Robert De Niro.
Christie Brinkley, Ellen Barkin and Jimmy Buffett were among the celeb guests, New York's Daily News reports, and Pitt himself gave a speech on helping those affected by Katrina.
The fund-raiser helped promote a new initiative aiming to help rebuild areas of New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward with environmentally friendly homes.
Last week, Pitt was in New Orleans to give a tour of homes being built in cooperation with Global Green and the Home Depot Foundation. (See ThisOldHouse.com for more video from Pitt's tour.)
