Brad & Angelina Helicopter to the Hamptons

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie treated their kids to the quintessential New York City weekend, complete with a trip to a hot-dog cart and a carousel ride in Central Park. Then on Saturday night, it was all about helping a good cause: The pair took a helicopter to the Hamptons to host a dinner party raising money to help rebuild New Orleans.
Both dressed in white, Jolie, 32, and Pitt, 43, left Manhattan and flew into Westhampton for the event, after they were diverted from nearby East Hampton because of foggy conditions. From there, the couple ended up taking a cab to the home of Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff, the married couple who co-founded the Tribeca Film Festival with Robert De Niro.
Christie Brinkley, Ellen Barkin and Jimmy Buffett were among the celeb guests, New York's Daily News reports, and Pitt himself gave a speech on helping those affected by Katrina.
The more than 50 guests were served cocktails followed by dinner (a buffet of lamb, salmon and corn pudding), all under a giant tent decorated with black-and-white photos of everyday life in New Orleans.
The fund-raiser helped promote Pitt's Make It Right project, which is aiming to rebuild areas of New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward with environmentally friendly homes.
Last week, Pitt was in New Orleans to give a tour of homes being built in cooperation with Global Green and the Home Depot Foundation. (See ThisOldHouse.com for more video from Pitt's tour.)

Funny they bought hotdogs. I rememeber when I was in NY with my daughter and her friend and we got one of those hotdogs and it made both the girls sick.I wondered if the water they cooked themin was clean. Yuck!!
Anyway, I wonder how much money they raised for Brad's efforts in NO. Surely the bankroll of the people living in the Hamptons can spare some change to help the poor prople of New Orleans. Funny that they would only contribute to it with the presence of Hollywood's big shot celebrities. I bet that was a stuffy party. It would be interesting to hear about it from the helps point of view.
