The Brangelina Christmas Miracle

Posted Dec 21st 2007 6:00AM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned that a local toy and flower shop owner prayed for a miracle to save his struggling business and got one -- in the form of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie!
Brangelina
With his North Hollywood, Calif. store, The Blessing, in dire straits, owner Arturo begged a higher power to help bless him and turn business around. Faster than you can say Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, in walked Brangelina looking to buy gifts. Frankincense and myrrh?! The super couple posed for pics with the store owner's family and bought $70 worth of items -- but gave $200 in cash -- keep the change! Ever since their almighty visit, Arturo says business is booming. Merry Pittmas!


Who needs Mr.& Mrs. Claus -- when you've got Mr. & Mrs. Smith?!

51. I rather hear about celebrities doing small, sincere things like this than the look at what nightclub I'm at tonight crowd

52. They don't seem to do anything without the media filming it.

53. To #12 : Since the Pitts visited their store, word got out & now other people are flocking there to buy things.....that's what saved his store.


To #4 : U r an Asshole!! They didn't give a donation to feed the duded family (and saying that he has 18 illegal kids is bias.)Get a life and I LOVE BRAD< ANGIE & THEIR KIDS!!

54. LOTS of other celebs do-good, donate, leave large tips etc... but it's never glorified in the media, why is that? Why is it the only time you hear about these two is when they are in third world countries with cameras following their every move or something along those lines? Why would these two millionaires visit a"hole in the wall" store anyway??? Was this done for pubilicity to make them looks like the saints they are not? Hmmmm?!?!?!?!

55. Give us a break please. $200 to them is like less than a penny for most of us. How absolutely generous! They saved his business? Geez, people will fall for anything with these two self promoting wackos. Hey TMZ, why not glorify people who actually do make a difference.

56. Now this is celebrity news that should be told. We need to celebrate good behavior and good deeds. Brad and Angelina are great people for helpling others.

57. EAT SOMETHING ANGELINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

58. GET REAL PEOPLE....BRAD & ANGELINA HAVE MEGA BUCKS & ARE DONATING THEIR TIME & MONEY TO TRY & BUILD UP NEW ORLEANS. ITS GREAT TO SEE THIS DONE IN THE US & NOT OVERSEAS. THE NORMAL PEOPLE I'M SURE HAVE DONATED TONS OF MONEY COMBINED BUT SINCE THEY ARE NOT CELEBS IT WONT BE ADVERTISED.
GIVE THEM SOME CREDIT, OUR OWN GOVT DIDNT STEP IN, B & A ARE ACTUALLY BUILDING HOUSES FOR THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOWHERE TO LIVE & THE PUBLICITY ALONE IS BRINGING REVENUE INTO THE NEW ORLEANS AREA. LETS FACE IT, THE PAPS ALSO HAVE TO EAT.

59. GOD BLESS THE JOLIE-PITTS! NOW THAT THEY WERE THEIR AND THE WORD IS OUT, PEOPLE WILL SWARM TO HIS BUSINESS AND BUY FROM HIM. THAT'S THE WAY IT WORKS! CELEBRITY BY ASSOCIATION! NOW HIS PLACE IS FAMOUS! JOY TO THE WORLD!

60. Anintelligentmind, click the word 'contact' on the bottom or the right side of the page. Click on the 'Have a correction, comment?' part. I think it helps to tell them what story and # it is, but I actually paste the entire spam ad into the comment box. I wish more people would do this.
