Angelina Jolie traveled to Syria as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency with Brad Pitt to raise awareness of the Iraqi refugees residing there.

They visited two refugee families in one of the poorest suburbs of capital city Damascus as well as meeting with President Bashar al-Assad and his wife Asma. Angie says:

"Most Iraqi refugees cannot return to Iraq in view of the severe trauma they experienced there, the uncertainty linked to the coming Iraqi elections, the security issues and the lack of basic services. They will, therefore, be in need of continued support from the international community."

Syria is making great strides in making sure health care and education is available to the refugees.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were spotted doing good in the world together.

The two of them were visiting Iraqi refugees in Syria, just outside Damascus.

Helping others, as per usual!

Maybe they're looking for a new addition to their ever-growing family as well?

Santa Angelina is dedicated to her cause!

Jolie, who holds the title of a UN Goodwill Ambassador, traveled to Kenya this weekend to help draw attention to the overcrowding problem in refugee camps.

Camps for refugees of Somalia opened in 1991 - only built to accommodate 90,000 refugees. The camps currently hold 285,000 people, with that number growing every month.

Ange visited the camp in Dadaab on Saturday to speak with the Somalian refugees, hoping to discover a solution to the issue at hand.

So inspiring!

P.S. Eat, bitch!

We knew something like this would happen sooner or later!

Look-a-like actresses Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox are both vying for the title role in the remake of Barbarella.

HOT!

Apparently Fox's quick rise to stardom is making Ange nervous, not to mention the 11-year age gap between them!

"Ange is really feeling the pressure," says an insider. "Ange knows that to win roles she has to look youthful."

The 1968 film originally starred Jane Fonda as the sci-fi fantasy bombshell.

It's a tough call, ladies. You're both fierce!

Who would U rather see in the role?

Think your pet has a good life? Well, think again!

Brad Pitt has just dumped $82,000 on a custom home for his kids' gerbils.

What!? We understand loving your pet, but this is a little extreme! That's enough to buy a home for an actual person in some places!!!

The lucky gerbils were picked out by Maddox and Pax last month, when their parents took them to a local pet store in France.

An onlooker says "The boys were really keen to get the gerbils and it was Angelina who reached into the cage to pet them before a store worker got them out."

Angie touching a rodent!? Where were the paparazzi on this one?

The swanky gerbil digs will include tunnels, platforms, seesaws and mazes, which will go in the family's mansion in the South of France.

The design was overseen by the kids and Brad. According to a source "Brad pores over architectural journals…he had so much fun putting the run together with his kids…"

Sounds like some good father/kid bonding to us. Who else can say they helped design a gerbil house with their father?

Or better yet, what gerbil can say they live with the Jolie-Pitts!?

We're beginning to think that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt don't quite remember the true meaning of "normal" anymore. No kid we've ever known has grown up in a French chateau, especially one worth almost $74 million!!!!

That's right! They've dropped almost three-quarters of a $100 million on this place!!!

As we understand it, this dream home is the 17th-century chateau they've been leasing for the past few year. It is set on 1,000 acres of property in Provence, France.

Brange intend to renovate all 35 BEDROOMS and include an abundance of modern marvels, such as jacuzzis, a spa complete with steam rooms,a new gym, an expanded wine cellar, a helicopter landing pad, and and even a motorbike track for Daddy Brad!

The Jolie-Pitts insist they want to bring their kids up in the area as they feel it is safer and will prove to give them a more normal life. We guess with neighbors like Johnny Depp and Bono, they really will be escaping all the hype of Hollywood!

The more the merrier is Brad and Angie's motto!

Shortly after arriving in France on Thursday, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took their sons, Maddox and Pax, to a local pet store in Brignoles.

The ever expanding brood can now add gerbils, goldfish and a cactus to their worldly family!

Angelina reached into the cage to pick out the new pets, while Brad perused the aisles stocking up on supplies and a cage for the new additions.

We hope the kidz will be taking care of their little friends and not the help!

Responsibility will keep the kiddies sane!

Brad, Ange and all six of the kids somehow managed to slip out of the US on Saturday night, unbeknownst to the paps!

The photogs are losing their edge!

Brangelina and the gang took a $250,000 private flight from the Valley late Saturday night, landing at the Le Castellet Airport in France Sunday afternoon!

The family plans to spend the rest of their summer in the south of France at the Château Miraval, the 1,000-acre estate Pitt and Jolie have been in the process of renovating.

The fam will be returning to El Lay sometime this fall, just in time for Pitt to start production on the upcoming baseball flick Moneyball.

Sounds like a great summer vacation to us!

Jealous!

We proudly welcome him to gayborhood!

The rumors about George Clooney liking peen have never ceased, but Brad Pitt has used it to his advantage!

Poppa Pitt claimed that he would marry Angelina once same-sex unions were legalized in America, yet he has diverted the pressure to a close friend.

"Angie and I will not be getting married until George and his partner can legally do so," Pitt jokes with People while referring to Clooney.

Touché, Brad!

You better watch it before you're banned from Lake Como!

P.S. Where there's smoke, there's fire! Or gerbils!
