We took a look back at one of Angelina Jolie's interviews from 2004 earlier today, but this week she opened up to CNN's Christiane Amanpour about her work in Haiti. The actress traveled to the nation devastated by last month's earthquake to meet with local UN officials and visit with injured children, but her conversation with Christiane veered from charity work to the Jolie-Pitt family and whether they'd adopt from Haiti. Angelina politely answered the question before returning to a discussion of Haiti's needs, but tell us what you think — was CNN's asking about a possible adoption a natural question or was it really off topic?
Stars Come Out With CNN to Celebrate Everyday Heroes
Last night in New York, some of the most recognized celebrities came out to honor everyday people who accomplished amazing things this year.

Ty-Ty did not dress down for the occasion. From a 12-year-old leukemia patient who made it his mission to register fellow minorities as bone marrow donors to a Seattle man who opened a clinic in Kenya to a teenager who developed a music program to help kids with autism, the honorees were an incredible group.

Funny or stupid? Vanessa Minnillo in a Fat Suit

Entertainment Tonight recently had a segment in which they had Vanessa Minnillo don a fat suit, awful wig, and hideous outfit to do an “investigative journalism” piece to find out how beautiful women are treated compared to ugly women.
