Richard Gere Must Be So Jealous!

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!?

It's On: Angelina jolie vs. Megan!

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?

Santa Angelina Keeps It Up

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!

Angelina Jolie visits displaced Iraqis

Families tell actress they can't afford to send their children to school

Angelina Jolie speaks with a boy at a makeshift camp northwest of Baghdad, Iraq, on Thursday, July 23. Jolie was on a day trip in Iraq to bring attention to the plight of displaced people within the country.
BAGHDAD - Angelina Jolie on Thursday visited a settlement for displaced Iraqis in northwest Baghdad in her role as a goodwill ambassador for UNHCR.

The actress met four families whose members said their children could not go to school and they could not afford to pay for medical treatment, the U.N. refugee agency said.

Jolie said during her one-day trip that there is progress in returning Iraqis to their homes after years of war, but more needs to be done, according to UNHCR.

"This is a moment where things seem to be improving on the ground, but Iraqis need a lot of support and help to rebuild their lives," the agency quoted Jolie as saying. It was the actress's third trip to Iraq.UNHCR estimates that 1.6 million Iraqis were displaced within the country by sectarian violence, and that 300,000 have returned home amid improving security. It says hundreds of thousands of Iraqi refugees live in neighboring countries, mostly in Syria and Jordan

Pitt, Jolie go house hunting in New York with $25 mn

LONDON - Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt and his partner Angelina Jolie are considering to buy one of the most expensive properties in New York.
“I heard they’re ready to spend as much as $25 million,” contactmusic.com quoted a source as saying.
The couple, who have previously rented different properties at a cost of around $100,000 a month when working in the city, has been eyeing Apthorp, a 1908 property in Manhattan, which is being converted into lavish homes.
“The gated courtyard means they can get in and out of their car without being hassled by paparazzi. The building also has several other exits,” said the source.
The most expensive apartments boast up to 13 bedrooms and have 11-foot ceilings and wide hallways and will cost $15.5 million. But Pitt and Jolie want to buy two or three properties and join them together to create enough space for their six children.
“I heard they’re ready to spend as much as $25 million,” added the source.
The couple already own homes in Los Angeles and New Orleans.

Angelina's ballerinas: Ms Jolie takes Shiloh and Zahara to a dance class

By Daily Mail Reporter

Mother of six Angelina Jolie treated her two eldest daughters to a girls' day out in Los Angeles yesterday.

The Wanted star, who was this week named Hollywood's top earning actress, took Shiloh, 3, and Zahara, 4, to a dance class in Studio City.

The adorable duo, who wore matching black leggings, took part in a session called 'The Princess Series', and couldn't resist a twirl or two as they made their way home.

Girls' day out: Angelina Jolie took daughters Shiloh and Zahara to a dance class in Los Angeles yesterday

Wearing a strapless maxi-dress, casual flip flops and aviator sunglasses, Angelina walked hand in hand with her daughters after their day of fun.

It was a rare public outing for the family, who have largely kept out of the spotlight in recent months.

In fact, the absence of the famous brood from the spotlight has sparked some concern, particularly for Angelina and Brad Pitt's twins Knox and Vivienne.

The pair, who turn 1 on July 12, have been seen in public just once this year when they were whisked through a Tokyo airport in January.

An American tabloid magazine claims the couple's youngest children both suffer from medical issues.

Fancy footwork: The girls couldn't resist a little twirl as they made their way home

'They're both hypersensitive,' Life&Style magazine quotes an insider as saying. 'Knox has trouble holding down his food. He spits up nearly every meal.'

The source claims Vivienne suffers from allergies: 'Right now, she's on a lactose and gluten-free diet, and she's still underweight.

'Angelina and Brad reportedly feel that the twins are better off behind closed doors for now.

'Because of their delicate state, Knox and Vivienne need to be kept away from anything they could possibly be allergic to. That's a lot easier to do when they're home and in a controlled environment.'

Still, Angelina, 34, recently said she and Brad, 40, hope to expand their family, which also includes Maddox, 7, and Pax, 5.

She said last month: 'We love children, we want a big family, so we never - you know, never say no.'

Where are the twins? Vivienne and Knox have not been seen since January when they were whisked through Toyko airport with the rest of Angelina
and Brad's brood
