Brad Pitt is in New Orleans with his family to announce the winner of the design contest he co-sponsored with Global Green USA. "I'm very, very excited about the result," Pitt told People mag. "There are a lot of great ideas that came across the table." The Troy actor toured the Katrina ravaged city for a few days and was shocked by what he saw. "This is a social justice issue. As I walk around, I'm appalled and embarrassed that people don't even have the opportunity to return. This isn't supposed to happen here." Pitt teamed up with Global Green in a search to find an affordable, environmentally sustainable plan for rebuilding homes and community centers in the area. "My goal," Pitt said last month, "is to see something tangible, to see something built that can become an example, a template...a flagship for other people who are facing rebuilding."
