Report: Pitt Did Not Call Aniston

Brad Pitt did not call Jennifer Aniston to tell her about girlfriend Angelina Jolie's pregnancy announcement, entertainment TV show "Extra" reported Thursday.

Aniston's publicist, Stephen Huvane, cleared up reports that Pitt and former wife Aniston spoke before the announcement on Wednesday.

"All the reports about phone calls between Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie are all made-up lies," Huvane told "Extra."

Pitt's publicist, Cindy Guagenti, confirmed on Wednesday that Jolie, 30, is expecting a baby this summer with Pitt. Jolie, a goodwill ambassador for the U.N., leaked the news to a charity aid worker while filming "The Good Shepherd" in the Dominican Republic.

Pitt, 42, has also filed to be the adoptive father to Jolie's children, Maddox and Zahara.

Pitt and Aniston, 36, divorced last October after 4 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. Pitt has denied Jolie was behind the split.

Meanwhile, Jolie and Pitt brought a rare dose of Hollywood glamour to Haiti during a visit on Friday.

Jolie and Pitt flew to the beleaguered Caribbean nation from the neighboring Dominican Republic, where she is filming the movie "The Good Shepherd," directed by Robert De Niro. The couple were to get a firsthand look at projects run by Yele Haiti, the charity of Haitian-born hip-hop musician Wyclef Jean.

Jolie and Pitt traveled in a convoy through the capital of Port-au-Price, protected by police and U.N. peacekeepers as crowds cheered them along the way. Later they visited a school were Yele Haiti offers scholarships to students, and watched children dance and recite poetry.

"You hear so much just about the danger and the fear and then you come here and you meet just an amazing people ... given just a little chance, and given a little help, this is going to be a great country," Jolie said.

Jean praised Jolie and Pitt for visiting during a time of insecurity.

"To have these people grace our country is a beautiful thing," he said.

Later the couple met with workers from Yele Haiti's Project Clean Streets, which helps clear litter from the capital. The project is funded in part by the U.S. Agency for International Development, CARE and the Pan American Development Foundation.

Jolie, a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, has helped raise money in the past for the charity, which distributes scholarships and food in the Western Hemisphere's poorest country.

The visit comes at a tumultuous time for Haiti, with the country struggling to organize its first elections since former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was forced from power in a violent rebellion nearly two years ago.

In recent months, U.N. peacekeepers have engaged in regular shootouts with heavily armed gangs that support the ousted president and that authorities allege are behind a wave of kidnappings in the capital. Most of the violence has been in and around Cite Soleil, a seaside slum of concrete and steel shacks that is home to some 200,000 people.

Jean has used his immense popularity in his home country to secure permission from the gangs to distribute food in Cite Soleil, an area off-limits to most aid workers in the country.

Richard Sassine, a board member of Yele Haiti and president of the Haitian Union Bank, said he hopes the visit will highlight the foundation's activities and improve Haiti's image.

"When you have international stars like this, people want to find out what it's all about. And from there we might get more support," he said.
