Angelina Jolie tops this years Reuters poll for Best Celebrity Humanitarian, topping other do-gooders such as Bono, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Bill Gates, according to the HollywoodReporter.com.

"People can sense when something is an endorsement and when someone really means it," explained Peter Walker, director of the Feinstein International Famine Center at Tufts University."Someone like Angelina Jolie comes across as having more integrity than some celebrities and a greater sense that she doesn't do this for the publicity."

Since 2001, Jolie has been a humanitarian ambassador for the United Nations and has quietly visited more than 20 areas where aid is desperately needed.

Her adoption of children in need from Vietnam, Cambodia and Ethopia is a further testament to her dedication to the cause.
