As if their ever-growing brood wasn't already a clear sign, Brangelina loves kids. So it's no surprise that the power couple spares no expense when it comes to children's charitable causes.
Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and a gaggle of Pitt family members donated $1 million to St. John's Hospital this weekend.
The brother of the Inglourious Basterds star, Doug Pitt, made news of the donation public Saturday.
The Springfield, Mo., hospital will use the big bucks to establish an endowment fund for children's care specialists, as well as construct a new pediatric unit. This in-hospital Ronald McDonald House will double the size of the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units already inside the hospital.
St. John's cancer treatment unit will be renamed to honor the Pitts' donation. Brad's mom is a dedicated proponent of children's issues, and the center will be known as Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center in recognition of her advocacy.
So he's handsome, loves kids and honors his mom? Sigh.
