Ass-kickingly fierce holy saint Angelina honored an aid group from Yemen at the UN Refugee Agency Awards in Switzerland yesterday. She was also recognized for her work as a Goodwill Ambassador. “The desperation fueled by a vicious combination of drought, famine and conflict has driven tens of thousands of people from the Horn of Africa. And we must not forget what is happening in this part of the world,” she said. [E!]
Before Angelina‘s mission of peace, she went on a mission of violence: Angie, Brad and Maddox donned camouflage and shot at each other in a paintball park in the UK. [PopSugar]

Ruffles in the buffles. Hot. [Express]

And here’s an interesting quote by a 23-year-old gentleman named Gavin Naumoff: “My job is to round up hot girls and bus them into clubs in San Diego or Vegas. The girls get free booze, food, whatever, and they attract rich and famous guys to the clubs. It’s a two-way street.
