Jolie heads 2007 humanitarian poll
Angelina Jolie has topped a Reuters poll of the best celebrity humanitarians of 2007.
The poll of 606 people by humanitarian web site Reuters AlertNet put the 32-year-old star ahead of U2 singer Bono, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Microsoft founder Bill Gates.
Jolie works as a UN goodwill ambassador and has tried to raise awareness of the problems facing Africa.
Peter Walker, Director of the Feinstein International Famine Center at Tufts University in the US, said: "Someone like Angelina Jolie comes across as having more integrity than some celebrities and a greater sense that she doesn't just do this for the publicity."
Commenting on Jolie's work for UNHCR, UNHCR spokesman Peter Kessler said: "She does this in a very low-key way. She goes out to see for herself, to get up close and very personal. She doesn't travel with film crews, and I think that is real testimony to her dedication to the cause."
While Bono ranked second behind Jolie, he also had enough negative votes to feature in the top five least-liked humanitarians - along with Bob Geldof.

Spielberg leaves his Olympics post
Oscar-winning film director Steven Spielberg has said he is withdrawing as an artistic advisor to the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing because of the Chinese government's policy towards its ally Sudan and the conflict in Darfur.
In a statement, Spielberg said the Sudanese government shouldered the bulk of responsibility for the crimes in Darfur, but said China should be doing more to end the human suffering there.
Actress Mia Farrow, who had been pressing the director to end his involvement with this year's games, said his decision sent the right sort of message to Beijing.
A spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington is quoted in the New York Times as saying that the Darfur issue was neither an internal issue for China nor was it caused by China.
The spokesman is also quoted as saying that it was completely unreasonable, irresponsible and unfair to link the two as one.

Edith Bowman reveals pregnancy danger
Pregnant DJ Edith Bowman has revealed that giving birth could put her life at risk, because she is suffering from a serious heart defect.
The 33-year-old star, who is five months pregnant with her first baby, told the Evening Standard that she has a bicuspid aortic valve, which increases her chances of dying in childbirth.
The DJ said that she will require a Caesarean section and that doctors must monitor her closely throughout her pregnancy.
Bowman said: "We get to find out the baby's sex later this month but I'm like, 'there are really more important things to worry about right now than the colour of baby clothes'."
"Basically I need these extra scans early in the pregnancy and I'll have to have a Caesarean because no-one - including my heart specialist - sees the point in putting my heart through unnecessary stress."
Bowman was diagnosed with the condition in summer 2004 after suffering palpitations and tiredness while working at the Glastonbury Festival.
She said: "It was shocking, obviously. But once you get your head around it, you realise there's nothing you can do except try and get on with life."
"I was told that the greatest risk is deterioration and that I may need a valve transplant later on, which is scary. But for now, it seems fine."

- MP3tunes' AutoSync Keeps PC Music Lockers in Tune -
SAN DIEGO, April 10 -- MP3tunes -- http://www.mp3tunes.com
-- has launched AutoSync, new technology that makes it possible for people
to automatically move their digital music between their own computers,
without having to connect cables or portable drives or even burn CDs.
Included with every MP3tunes Music Locker, AutoSync provides the music fan
with a powerful, yet easy-to-use, tool for managing their digital music
collection.
For instance, with AutoSync it's now possible for consumers to buy MP3s
from Amazon while at work and have the new music available for immediate
listening on the family computers when they get home. AutoSync works by
first automatically detecting when a person has added new music to their
computer, whether singles, albums or even playlists. After the music is
backed-up to their password-protected MP3tunes Locker, it's then instantly
synced from the Locker to any other PC specified by the consumer.
"People should be able to enjoy all the music they own through any PC,
and not have it trapped in one machine, where access is limited and the
music is at risk of disappearing in a common hard drive crash," commented
Michael Robertson, CEO of MP3tunes. "With AutoSync, you don't have to worry
about the laborious process of transferring your music from one PC to
another -- it instantly happens, with no extra steps to take or
applications to launch. But the PC is only the beginning. AutoSync for
popular mobile devices is up next, and we look forward to rolling out
AutoSync for your car's audio system by the end of this year."
Fully compatible with iTunes or any other PC music management system,
AutoSync technology keeps all the music secure and available through all
the PCs in the person's life, from the office to home, and also provides
