Angelina Jolie threw on a white suit yesterday to join her Kung Fu Panda 2 buddy Jack Black at a photo op in LA. They were joined by another costar and a panda as well, and Angelina was even photographed getting her makeup touched up by a pro between snaps. The duo is just getting started promoting their much-anticipated sequel, which arrives in theaters May 26. Showing off the film will take Angelina and Jack to France next month, so they can appear at the Cannes Film Festival. Brad Pitt will also make the trek, as his project Tree of Life is also bound for the cinema event. The city will be especially star studded this year, with Penelope Cruz and Johnny Depp bound for the Riviera, too, in order to debut Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Brad has lately been bouncing back and forth between California and New Orleans, so that he can finish up work on Cogan’s Trade. He was near his family on the West Coast this week, though, and Brad had time for a theater date with Angelina on Wednesday to see God of Carnage. popsugar.com
Angelina Jolie spent today at a refugee camp close to the Libyan border in Tunisia, meeting with displaced peoples and talking to officials as part of her work with the UNHCR. Her humanitarian work was the center of attention, as she revealed large contributions made by her Jolie-Pitt Foundation to help with the area’s suffering, but her bare arms created a serious stir. Angelina debuted a mysterious 7th line added to her tattoo, which has the coordinates of the birthplaces of her six children, causing many fans to think that she and Brad may have made another addition to their family. Rumors about the ink also included it being the location of Brad’s birthplace as a sign of their commitment, and apparently a source says not to read too much into it. The Jolie-Pitts have yet to comment about whether they have adopted again or if there is another meaning, but whatever the reason for her additional marking, it must be something close to her heart to be added to Shiloh, Zahara, Pax, Maddox, Knox, and Vivien’s special spots. popsuger.com
Angelina Jolie visits Tunisia-Libya border, urges support for Libya’s displaced
UNHCR
RAS ADJIR, Tunisia, April 5 (UNHCR) – UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie on Tuesday travelled to the Tunisian-Libyan border to urge greater international support for people fleeing fighting in Libya.
Almost 440,000 people have escaped the violence in Libya since mid-February, finding shelter in surrounding countries such as Tunisia, Egypt, Niger, Algeria, Chad and Sudan. Tunisia, alone, has received about 217,000 of the outflow from Libya and has mobilized an outstanding relief operation.
“The outpouring of generosity from the Tunisian people says so much for the future of this country,” said Jolie. “It is a sign of the openness sweeping across the region.”
At the end of February, transit facilities were erected a few kilometres inside Tunisia to provide temporary shelter for those crossing the border, mostly migrant workers. At the same time, UNHCR and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) began helping migrants home with a massive humanitarian air evacuation.
Today, more than 70,000 people have been repatriated safely with help from UNHCR and IOM, but more continue to arrive. Some 11,000 third country nationals are still in transit.
“The international community has done well to reinforce Tunisia’s remarkable relief effort,” said Jolie. “But with 2,000 people still crossing each day, we cannot let the funding dry up and need to sustain the momentum.”
During the visit, an important contribution is being made by the Jolie-Pitt Foundation to help sustain the humanitarian evacuations being carried out. The Foundation covered the costs for a flight of 177 people to return to their countries of origin and purchased an ambulance to help support Tunisian efforts on the border to assist the injured arriving from Libya.
“We would encourage others, individuals and governments, to continue to support and assist with the needs on the ground,” said Jolie, an acclaimed and popular actress.
“While migrants make up the majority of these new arrivals, there are also some 2,500 people from war-torn countries who are unable to return home and thus require international protection. “They’re waiting here with little hope, unable to return home and unsure of what’s to come. This constant cycle of displacement must finally come to an end,” the Goodwill Ambassador said.
In conversations on Tuesday with people who had recently left Libya, Jolie was told of heavy fighting inside the country. She listened to harrowing stories of checkpoints, harassment and assaults. She appealed for measures that would allow the UN and non-governmental organizations to access Libya, and to distribute urgent assistance, including food and medical supplies.
Jolie also heard dramatic accounts of eastern and sub-Saharan Africans being deliberately targeted inside Libya. Many remain in hiding in desperate conditions, unable to move for fear of violence. Jolie called for a humanitarian corridor to facilitate the safe access of these populations to points of refuge.
Without this corridor, thousands of Africans are escaping Libya by sea, relying on unseaworthy vessels organized by smugglers. In recent weeks, there have been several landings on the small Italian island of Lampedusa as well as interceptions off the coast of Tunisia. There are also reports of some people not surviving the perilous journey across the Mediterranean.
