SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt visited Bosnia on Monday, intending to spotlight the plight of 117,000 people who have not able to return to their homes, even though the Bosnia war ended 15 years ago.

But they tried to do so while evading the spotlight themselves: There were no reported media sightings of the celebrity couple.

The two arrived Sunday evening, said Aida Prljaca, the spokeswoman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Sarajevo.

Jolie, who has been a UNHCR ambassador since 2001, will visit projects meant to help Bosnians who cannot return home, either because their homes have not been rebuilt or the infrastructure in their villages has not been repaired.

Some 7,000 people live in dozens of refugee centers throughout the country. The other 110,000 live primarily with relatives or in rented housing.

Jolie is currently filming “The Tourist” with Johnny Depp in Italy.

Hey everyone, there’s still not a lot of news to share about the world of Brad. It seems he is taking some well earned time off to spend with his lovely family in Europe. Good on ya Brad! In the meantime, SB is a bit quiet. Webmiss has come home from her long vacation, been sick and very busy with my job, there has not been much time to update. But it would only be old stuff at this point. I know I promised a brand new design and it’s coming, it just is taking a lil while longer.

If you’ve any fun ideas that would liven this place up, please feel free to email me. And just a little reminder: I am not in contact with Brad Pitt, I really am not. I still get emails asking Brad Pitt to please fund whatever project or family. I can not help you, I’m sorry. Can’t forward your emails.

Also, the yearly majorly big website bills are coming in and I would like to kindly ask that if you are able to contribute, to please consider it. I pay all the costs (hosting, domains, HQ pictures etc) of this very large website from my own pocket. (Yes, there are some google ads, but they definitely do not cover even 10% of the bills.) In any case, just putting it out there. Do not feel obliged. Thank you to everyone that has contributed in the past, it definitely helps. Thank you.
