Angelina Jolie films with Johnny Depp, donates to Afghan schools

That’s the back of Johnny Depp’s hot-oiled head, by the way. Angelina and Johnny have been ramping up their filming schedules for The Tourist, judging by the sheer number of photos at all of the agencies. And yet… they seem very careful to avoid being in the same frame at the same time. Oh, well. I’m sure it’s coming, those photos of Johnny and Angelina walking along some random street, talking and laughing even glancing at each other randomly, as people who are having a conversation tend to do. And then those photos will be used on every tabloid with headlines like “BRAD WALKS IN ON ANGELINA & JOHNNY’S SEXY PUBLIC TRYST” and “SHILOH WILL WEAR A DRESS IF MOMMY STOPS BEING SUCH A SLUT”. Et cetera.

Anyhoodle, E! News had an interesting tidbit about Angelina this morning, and it does not involve her rubbing her “gerbils” all over Johnny Depp. Apparently, Angelina “got the ball rolling” for a refugee girls’ school in Afghanistan with a $75,000 donation:

She really can’t help it, can she?

For Angelina Jolie, it’s not enough to be a supermom to a gaggle of kids. She’s quickly working her way toward becoming a modern-day Mother Teresa, and today’s installment of her do-gooding is yet another step in that direction.

Just 18 months ago, the UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador visited a settlement for refugee returnees, mostly from Pakistan, in Tangi, Afghanistan. The people shared with her their concerns about a lack of educational facilities—and, thus, a lack of education—in the area.

According to the UNHCR website, she forked over the necessary $75,000 to get the ball rolling on an all-girls school, and roll it did.

The building will be inaugurated on Thursday, and classes start next Monday.

The school has eight classrooms, four administrative buildings, a well and eight latrines. It can accommodate up to 800 students in two shifts.

The UNHCR is working with UNICEF to recruit teachers and textbooks. Plans are also under way to provide secondary education, as only two Tangi girls are currently enrolled in high school.

Good for her. Too bad she’s giving Johnny the side-eye, the slut. No, I jest!
