The softer side of Brangelina

Categories: Celebrity Couples

Homemakers, rejoice. Too long have Americans made do with un-Chinese china and so-called "Persian" rugs. Now, according to reports, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may be giving us a more authentic alternative. Get ready for Namibiaware,* African products that really are from Africa! Honest!

Yes, Namibia, apart from being fun to say, will soon supply scads of cultural importers with housewares, if Brangelina’s plans come to fruition. So much energy these celebrities have! A mere mortal would be too busy procreating to think up AfrIkea.** Not these two. Between Lamaze sessions, they’re saving the world, one hand-carved pestle at a time.

I wonder if the line will include a traditional manure-burning stove? Because if there’s one thing my studio apartment needs, it’s a traditional manure-burning stove. And some goats.

* Brangelina, please contact me for rights to this kick-ass name.
** This one might require a tad more lawyering, but you can handle it.

    hey, at least the proceeds will be going to charity, unlike most celebrity businesses

    I say Go Brangelina. I have been to Africa several times and would love to be able to purchase authentic products over here. AND it would be an added bonus knowing profits would go to charity and that our purchases would be helping the individual people out!

    look, it’s not a “designer perfume”…it’s not clothing “designed” by brangelina..it’s an actual attempt to improve the economy of a country they love, with proceeds going to charity. next up: brangelina wins nobel peace prize while holding child adopted from the impoverished country of west virginia

    I’d understand if my husband left me for Angelina. What can you say?

  • Amy

    I think she and her efforts over seas are making great influence on other Hollywood stars to do the same. She follows her heart and helps others. I respect her for that. I would love to make a trip with her to help over in Africa with the kids. It would be an honor and dream of mine come true. Peace, AG

    Love them, love their unselfish ways. Other celebs hawk anything and everything for their own profit (Hair extensions by Jessica Simpson!!?! Need I say more?!!)
    Brad and Angelina get attention no matter what they do, so unlike most celebs, at least they put it to good use, give proceeds to charity, helping a country get back on its feet. I respect that.
