According to a new report, Hollywood Celebrity couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has teamed up for a TV series being their first production together for TV network HBO. The media reports that the yet untitled drama follows aid workers as they travel and help the less fortunate and as well centers the political challenges faced by international aid organizations. The Celebrity couple are more than suitable for producing the HBO series, as they both have abroad experiences, and know there are people who risk their lives working for humanitarian organizations. Angelina Jolie has been a goodwill ambassador for the UN’s refugee agency, traveling from place to place to help refugee people and next to Brad Pitt, they have also supported a number of international aid organizations through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s project will certainly be a controversial one, the Hollywood actor will serve as executive producer on the project with the help from to Scott Burns, who will also executive produce and write the pilot.

Hollywood actors Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal were yesterday in Italy on the fourth day of the Rome Film Festival promoting their recent movie titled Rendition. The political drama, which screened at the festival, was directed by Gavin Hood, and centers the issues of security and terror - a story of an “Egyptian-American engineer abducted by U.S. customs at Washington airport, deported to a North African jail and tortured under the eyes of a CIA agent.”

Reese Witherspoon has recently denied rumors of reports of an on/off romance with Jake by saying to press about that she has a “purely platonic” relationship with Gyllenhaal. In other Celebrity news, Reese credits her brother with helping her recover after her divorce from actor Ryan Phillippe. The 31-year-old actress was devastated with the divorce which was recently finalized.

I have known Jake for years through different friends and he is just wonderful. He’s very kind, generous and funny. It’s been nice these past days to laugh a little bit. Yeah, he’s great and I look forward to maybe making another film with him.
