Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are in New Orleans, LA, right now. Friday, Brad Pitt and Ellen DeGeneres stopped by some of the houses that his organization, Make It Right NOLA, have built.

Then last night, Ellen hosted the “A Night to Make It Right” gala, which was a benefit to raise money for Brad’s non-profit.

The gala featured performances by Snoop Dogg, Sheryl Crow and Rihanna. Among the celebrities that attended were Sean Penn, Spike Lee, Blake Lively and Kevin Spacey.

At the annual Make It Right fundraiser, held inside the Hyatt Regency Hotel Saturday, about 1,200 guests paid between $1,000 and $2,500 to mingle with stars like Ellen DeGeneres, Sean Penn and Kevin Spacey. The event raised money for low-income housing in the city’s Lower 9th Ward.

“The highlight of the night was the music,” New Orleans resident and partygoer Melba Leggett Barnes tells Us Weekly.

Though Sheryl Crow, Kanye West and Snoop Dogg all performed that evening, it was Rihanna, 24, who really “got the place rocking,” Leggett Barnes says. “She invited a lot of people on to the stage with her. Everyone was having a really great time and dancing the night away, including Brad and Angelina [Jolie].”

Pitt, 48, co-hosted the event with DeGeneres, 54, who will share footage from their weekend on her eponymous talk show. “They are trying to keep the spotlight on the area and continue the great work since Katrina,” Leggett Barnes tells Us. “We are so grateful to them and I consider Brad my ‘special angel’ because of what he has done for us and other families living here.”

There are also some pictures below of Angelina and Brad leaving the gala.

Angelina Jolie struck this pose most of the night last night at the 84th Annual Acadamy Awards in Los Angeles.

She wore a custom Atelier Versace gown that featured a very high slit. The 36-year-old was certainly loving her dress!  ”I wanted to be comfortable and I feel sexy in black velvet,” Jolie told Us Weekly.

While presenting the awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay, the In the Land of Blood and Honey director struck a sultry pose onstage, which The Descendants screenwriter Jim Rash publicly mocked after his big win.

Jolie’s over-the-top posing wasn’t the only thing that stood out at the star-studded ceremony: her increasingly thin appearance became a topic of concern on Twitter. According to The Academy, Jolie’s bony body ignited 3,399 tweets per minute.

“Dear Angelina Jolie. . .eat something,” wrote singer-songwriter Bonnie McKee.

Echoed Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks: “Angelina Jolie is beautiful but she needs a lil’ more meat on those bones!” The Bravo star also suggested that the mother-six eat “some biscuits and Popeyes chicken.”

I agree her pose while on the Oscars stage was incredibly ridiculous. She didn’t look hot at all, she looked freaky! She doesn’t have the curves to pull off a pose like that. She just looked frail and sickly.

Here are some new pictures of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at the Paris premiere of her movie, ‘In the Land of Blood and Honey’. Angelina wore an interesting dress by Ralph and Russo. Half of me loves the dress, and the other half is torn. I don’t know about the giant rose at her neck. The grey cashmere dress she wore the other day was also Ralph & Russo, but I liked that one better.

What do you think of Angie’s dress?
