Salma Hayek just kicked Angelina Jolie's Good Samaritan ass!

On a recent visit to the West African country of Sierra Leone with ABC's Nightline, Salma Hayek was generous enough to donate her mammary glands to a malnourished newborn. What a lucky bugger.

Salma said she felt an immediate bond with the baby because the newborn shares a birthday with Hayek's little daughter, Valentina.

She addressed the concern of sharing her daughter's milk with another baby. "I actually think that my baby would be very proud to be able to share her milk, and when she grows up, I'm going to make sure she continues to be caring, generous person," says Hayek.

It's not uncommon practice in many cultures, but having a Hollywood actress do it is kinda' strange, right?

Gail 2/17/2009 3:50 PM: You go girl! If there were only more people like you in the world, then maybe no one's children will be going hungry. You can donate mothers milk to your local hospitals, like Tygerburg Hospital etc, I know they need it. I agree with Betty, you got my vote aswell.

Betty 2/17/2009 8:26 AM: This lady is a mother and a human being first, being an actress is her work. I admire her and wish her well. Preshen is certainly not a gentleman. This was no joke, this was a humanitarian act that few women would perform. Go girl, you've got my vote.
