Angelina's Kindness Tops Poll

Angelina Jolie has been voted the top celebrity do-gooder of 2007 – but that’s a good thing.

The actress topped the poll conducted by humanitarian web site AlertNet after garnering the greatest public respect for her work as a U.N. goodwill ambassador and as the adoptive mother tried to raise awareness of suffering in Africa.

Fellow adoptive mother Madonna was voted the least respected celebrity altruist of 2007 despite raising millions for orphans in Malawi, and Bob Geldof struggling for support.

Madonna's image was hit by claims she used her fame and wealth to circumvent Malawian adoption rules.
