Just because she has long dark hair, sexy red lips and a smoldering attitude doesn’t mean Megan Fox wants to be Angelina Jolie. And frankly, she’s sick of the comparison.

“I think it’s cause she has tattoos really, I think a lack of creativity on the media’s part,” Megan explains to Pop Tarts.

“I am a brunette with tattoos, I curse and I have made mention of sex before. I joked about it which people find outrageous so they want to constantly compare that to her,” she says. “You know Shia [LaBeouf] is the new Tom Hanks, Rihanna is the new Beyonce. Everybody is the new somebody although none of us are any of those people so you just walk around with it you live with it.”

And if you don’t believe Megan that the two are different, just ask Angie’s own dad, Jon Voight.

“Megan is herself and Angelina is herself. No one is comparable; everyone in the world is unique,” Jon said at the recent Transformers premiere in L.A. “That’s the great thing about it, but of course they’re two very beautiful women.”

Angelina Jolie made her third trip to Iraq on Thursday, offering support to hundreds of thousands of displaced Iraqis.

During her day-long visit, Jolie, 34, met four families displaced from the district of Abu Ghraib, located to the west of Baghdad, according to the UN Refugee Agency.

The families that Jolie met complained that their children could not go to school and they could not afford to pay for medical treatment for various ailments.

After one Iraqi complained to Jolie about his hardships, Jolie (a mother of six) told him, “It takes a lot of strength for you to survive this life. I don’t know if I would be strong enough to survive this.”

Jolie, a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, also cradled a newborn with a rash during her visit, according to the UN Refugee Agency.

Before she left, the actress told locals: “I want to come back and find you in a better place and in a different situation. We hope that UNHCR and the government will support you in getting a piece of land. You need help not because you are poor, but because you are the future of Iraq.”

Despite the difficult times, Jolie said, There are some changes. There are returns of displaced people, not a big number, but there is progress.”

Jolie first visited Iraq in August 2007, talking to 1,200 refugees. She returned last February.

Of her third trip, the actress said, “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.”

Brad Pitt says he’d never take a photo of Angelina Jolie’s booty and post it online.

In August’s Wired, the Inglourious Basterds star, 45, is asked what he thought about Ashton Kutcher Tweeting a picture of his wife Demi Moore’s behind.

“Don’t take a picture of your wife’s butt. That’s silly,” he tells the magazine. “Take pictures of other people’s wives’ butts.”

As for online dating, Pitt warns those looking for love on the Internet.

“Everyone lies online,” he says. “In fact, readers expect you to lie. If you don’t, they’ll think you make less than you actually do. So the only way to tell the truth is to lie.”

Wired also asked if it’s acceptable to talk on the phone while using the bathroom.

“No, you can’t talk on the phone!” Pitt declares. “Do you want the guy next to you to hear your entire conversation?”

Pitt says texting on the potty is acceptable, however.

“Just be sure you don’t hit the wrong button and end up putting a photo of your junk on Twitter,” he says. “Trust me, you don’t want those followers.”

Angelina Jolie resumed one of her favorite hobbies in L.A. Thursday: flying lessons!

The actress, 34, went to Burbank without Brad Pitt (who’s been spotted riding his motorcycle around town), or kids to meet up with a flight instructor.

The duo flew to Santa Barbara, where they spent “about two hours,” a witness tells Usmagazine.com.

“She seemed like she was in a good mood,” the witness goes on.

Check out all the places where Angelina has traveled.

“When she got off the plane, she hopped off. She seemed pretty energetic,” the onlooker tells Us. “She had a spring in her step.”

Jolie got her pilot’s license in 2004. She bought a single-engine Cirrus SR22 (base price: $334,700) in 2005. Safety features include a parachute that will land the entire plane safely.

In 2008, the star even flew her plane while pregnant with twins Knox and Viv (who turn 1 this weekend).

Sorry, Jen: Looks like Angelina Jolie wins again.

Jolie earned more money than Jennifer Aniston, Forbes reports in its annual “Hollywood’s Top-Earning Actresses” issue.

Between June 2008 and June 2009, Jolie banked an estimated $27 million, thanks to her share of the profits on Wanted and a large upfront payment on thriller Salt.

Aniston made slightly less: $25 million, after her roles on Marley & Me and The Baster. The actress also still earns residuals on Friends, and received a hefty paycheck for becoming the spokeswoman for Glaceau’s SmartWater.

(The women place far behind the top-earning actors. Harrison Ford took home more than double Jolie’s pay check — $65 million — after reprising his role in Indiana Jones.)

Meryl Streep earned $24 million after her flick Mamma Mia! made over $600 million at the box office last summer.

Sarah Jessica Parker — who just welcomed twin girls via surrogate — came in fourth with $23 million. Cameron Diaz rounded out the top five with $20 million.

Nearly everywhere Angie and Brad have gone, their four oldest children — Maddox, Pax and the boys’ sisters, Zahara, 4, and Shiloh, 2 — have been seen with them. Noticeably absent, however, have been the couple’s two youngest kids, twins Vivienne and Knox, who’ll turn 1 on July 12. In fact, the twins have been spotted in public only once since January: when they were rushed through an airport near Tokyo while being closely guarded by their parents. Since then, they’ve remained in hiding — leading to speculation that something could be wrong.

Now Life & Style has learned that Brad and Angelina have been seriously concerned about the twins’ health. The babies are suffering from serious digestive problems, says an insider close to the family. “They’re both hypersensitive,” the insider tells Life & Style. “Knox has trouble holding down his food. He spits up nearly every meal.” Vivienne, meanwhile, has food and environmental allergies, explains the insider: “Right now, she’s on a lactose and gluten-free diet, and she’s still underweight.”

Angelina, 34, and Brad, 45, have been so worried, they’ve had the twins undergo genetic testing and have been adamant about keeping them behind closed doors. In truth, the real reason Brad and Angelina have been reluctant to take the twins out has to do with their own fears, says the insider. “Because of their delicate state, Knox and Vivienne need to be kept away from anything they could possibly be allergic to,” the insider explains. “That’s a lot easier to do when they’re home and in a controlled environment.”
