Brad Pitt Worried for Angelina Jolie When He Proposed

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Engagements, Weddings, Rumors,

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie decided to get married because of her work with the United Nations. Apparently the couple feared she may not survive a dangerous new mission with the UN helping to battle drug lords.

The mother of six adopted and biological children, who is a goodwill ambassador for the UNHCR refugee organization, will be involved when the UN launches a fresh war on South American crime bosses. "Brad's terrified something bad will happen to her. It's why he wanted to cement things with a wedding," a source told The Sun.

Earlier this year Angelina wrote a farewell letter to her fiance Brad after becoming scared for her life on a UN mission. "I wrote a note to Brad and figured if anything happens he'll find it. They gave me a briefing and they said everybody needs to write down their blood type," she said.

The couple - who met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2005 - have kids Knox, Vivienne, Pax, Shiloh, Zahara and Maddox together. They announced their plans for a wedding last month.

George Clooney Compares Himself to Elizabeth Taylor

George Clooney has compared himself to Elizabeth Taylor.

The Ides of March actor was arrested for civil disobedience in Washington last week alongside his journalist father Nick and other protesters after a demonstration outside the Sudanese Embassy and George says he learned from an early age that celebrities are more newsworthy than humanitarian crises.

"I saw my father in the 1970s doing really good stories and then getting bumped because there was a Liz Taylor story that was going to be out. And the story that he did that had real some social value was going to get bumped. I said to my dad, 'Remember how you used to get all your stories bumped by Liz Taylor or something happened in Hollywood?' And he said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Well, let's go to Darfur. And you be the newsman and I'll be Liz Taylor and let's get it on the air.' And he said, 'OK,'" he told Fox News on Sunday.

George is trying to draw attention to the accusation that Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, is provoking a humanitarian crisis and blocking food and aid from entering the Nuba Mountains from South Sudan and admitted he had some close calls when he travelled to the country to film the atrocities.

George Clooney has been arrested.

The Ides of March actor was taken away in handcuffs along with other protesters, including his father, outside the Sudan Embassy in Washington this morning following three verbal warnings from officers.

The actor - who was joined at the demonstration by his father Nick and Democratic Rep. Jim Moran among others - had said he was taking part in the protest to draw more attention to the accusation that Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, is provoking a humanitarian crisis and blocking food and aid from entering the Nuba Mountains from South Sudan. The group held signs which read, "Sudan: Stop Weapons of Mass Starvation."

George had previously warned that if action were not taken in the next few months "we're going to have a real humanitarian disaster.
