Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Plan Children's Hospital

HOLLYWOOD - Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have donated $2 million to set up a children's hospital in Ethiopia.

The clinic will target kids suffering from tuberculosis, HIV and AIDS.

The pair chose Ethiopia because it's where their three-year-old adopted daughter Zahara was born.

Jolie and Pitt said in a statement:

"It is our hope when Zahara is older she will take responsibility of the clinic and continue its mission. Our goal is to transfer the success we have had in Cambodia to Ethiopia where people are needlessly dying of tuberculosis, a curable disease, and HIV/AIDS, a treatable disease."

"The fact that poor people continue to die in our world today of TB, a curable disease, because of lack of access to drugs and care is unacceptable."


Jonas Brothers Will Never Date a Fan

HOLLYWOOD - Pop sensations The Jonas Brothers have vowed never to date a fan. The trio, who wear purity rings to signify their no-sex-before-marriage rule, insist that they don't have time for relationships as they are constantly touring. And Kevin Jonas is convinced that they would never be interested in a girl if she turned out to be a fan of the band. He says, "We wouldn't really want a girl we dated to be a fan. We love to date but it's almost impossible with our schedule. We're on the road at least 265 days a year, so forming any significant relationship with someone is too difficult."
