Thousands of desperate Syrian refugees who fled to Turkey after experiencing a government crackdown were blessed by the world’s “Goodness Angel,” movie star and United Nations goodwill ambassador Angelina Jolie.
The actress arrived Friday ‘n the southern Turkish province of Hatay, where she visited one of the Syrian refugee camps in the center of Hatay’s Altınözü district.
“Goodness Angel of the World, Welcome,” read a large banner at the entrance of the Altınözü camp, where dozens of locals and media representatives from Turkey and abroad had gathered, trying to grasp a look at the actress. Many people gathered at balconies and roofs of the houses located in front of the camp entrance, and people were even hanging on the trees nearby, but none was able to see Jolie, as she entered the camp with her dark-glassed vehicle.

Brad Pitt: 'Am Ready to Get Married'
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie not only have six kids together, they’ve been together for so long, they’re kids are starting to ask them why they’re not married yet.
They originally said they wouldn’t get marred until everyone was legally able to (Brad famously endorsed Prop. 8, fighting for gay marriage), but it looks like they’ve had a change of heart.
"The kids ask about marriage. It's meaning more and more to them," the Tree of Life star and father of six tells USA Weekend. "So it's something we've got to look at."
Sure, being Angelina Jolie’s husband sounds awesome, but Brad admits his favorite role is being a dad.
"Kids hold up a mirror to you," he says. "You can't make excuses. You've got to make sure they've brushed their teeth and eaten a good breakfast. You want to be present if they wake up with a bad dream."
So how does the mega family, who is always on the go, travel? "On the road, we're a military mobile unit," he says. "The kids have got their stuff down to one backpack, and they're each responsible for their own bag. Mom does the packing; she's quite gifted at that. Puts in just what we need – nothing extra." "We're pretty nomadic," he remarks. "We go where the crops are."
Earlier this weekend he admitted that they’re no secrets in the Jolie-Pitt household and that they’re very open with their kids. "There are no secrets at our house," Pitt says. "We tell the kids, 'Mom and Dad are going off to kiss.' They go, 'Eww, gross!' But we demand it."

Chaz Bono "Would Love" to Talk to Brad, Angelina About Shiloh
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s adorable four-year-old daughter Shiloh developed a reputation as a tomboy early on. But when she insisted on getting her haircut and being called Peter instead of Shiloh, it raised some eyebrows.
Brad and Angie respected her wishes and are letting her just enjoy being a boy and hope it’s just a phase she’ll grow out of it. Except there’s a chance it’s not a phase.
Chaz Bono, formerly known as Chastity before undergoing gender reassignment, sees a lotherself himself in Shiloh and wants to sit down with Brad and Angie to talk about little Shiloh. Bold move.
"I would love to talk to [Brad and Angelina] at some point," Bono, 42, tells E! News. "To at least let them know we have this resource for them if they ever need it."
"I relate to these kids," he tells E! "The difference between them and myself is that I didn't articulate it and fight for it and say, 'No, no, no! I'm a boy!' I have so much respect for these kids that do."
In a Vanity Fair article last June Angie admitted that Shiloh wanted to be a boy. “She likes to dress like a boy. She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys' everything. She thinks she's one of the brothers,” she told the magazine.
Just because she likes to play with boys doesn’t mean she is one. It’s sad that tabloids will put a 4 year-olds photo on their cover and comment on why she doesn’t like to wear dresses.
Angie added that she wasn’t worried about her because she was just like Shiloh as a kid. But Chaz sees it differently. Sure, he has a new book (Transition: The Story of How I Became a Man) and a new reality show (Becoming Chaz) to promote, but using a famous A-listers kid to do it is a little strange.
Do you thinkshe he has the best intentions or is he name-dropping Shiloh for press? You be the judge!
