Pitt, Jolie shocked by Madonna's "personal attack"


The famous couple -- Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie -- have been left "shocked" by Madonna criticising their charity work.

The couple -- who are currently in India filming their latest movie A Mighty Heart, in which Angelina stars and Brad is producing -- are prepareing to build an orphanage in India.

The 48-year-old pop superstar said: "I'm not interested in going in there like an idiot and going, 'OK, I'm going to build ten orphanages and I'll see you guys later.'"

A source told Britain's Star magazine: "Angelina is shocked. She can't believe it. She was like, 'Where did that come from?' It seemed like a personal attack."

As well as criticising Brad and Angelina's work with orphanages, Madonna -- who has sparked controversy after adopting a Malawian baby called David -- also trivialised Angelina's role as a UN Goodwill Ambassador.

"I could have joined the UN and become an ambassador, visited various countries and just showed up and smiled and looked concerned. But that's not getting to the root of the problem. And neither is building orphan care centres."
