Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
NEW YORK, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie held a celebrity dinner party in New York to benefit Hurricane Katrina victims.
Pitt and Jolie threw the party at the home of Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff, who co-founded the Tribeca Film Festival, The New York Daily News reported Sunday.
The fundraiser was held to promote Pitt's new project, Make It Right, which aims to rebuild New Orleans' Ninth Ward with environmentally friendly homes.
The celebrity guest list included supermodel Christie Brinkley, actress Ellen Barkin and singer Jimmy Buffet. Pitt gave a speech at the event about the importance of helping Katrina victims.
"Katrina was a manmade disaster," Pitt told NBC News in an interview. "The misconception is that it was nature. But this is manmade -- decades and decades of erroneous engineering moves and really, really bad, bad irresponsible moves that I believe government has a responsibility to make right."
