We can call this Best Economist Job Evah!


Angelina and the Economist: "

2005_08_angelinapolicy.jpgBesides filming the new Robert DeNiro-directed The Good Shepherd in New York City and becoming an honorary Cambodian citizen, and besides shtupping America's Favorite Friend's husband and being hotter than hell, Angelina Jolie is making news with the announcement that MTV will air a 'video diary' of her trip to Africa. Jolie and Jeffrey Sachs - yes, that Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, the noted economist who works for Columbia's Earth Institute and advice UN Secretary General Kofi Annan - traveled to Africa with Sachs' team that is trying to stop poverty and hunger. Though Angelina gets top billing, we love how the name of the show actually is 'The Diary of Angelina Jolie & Dr Jeffrey Sachs in Africa.' Way to go, MTV, for trying to give world economists a higher profile - even though your audience wants to know whether Stephen will chose Kristin or LC more.



More information about Sachs' UN Millennium Project. And Sachs does have a wife, so Angelina is not always a homewrecker. Yet.
