It’s a non-stop party in the Jolie-Pitt household.

Angelina Jolie tells CNN’s Anderson Cooper that she and Brad Pitt are constantly celebrating the birthdays of their six kids: Maddox, 7, Pax, 5, Zahara, 4, Shiloh, 3, and twins Knox and Viv, 11 months.

“I do have the twins, and I just had Shi in May. We have so many kids that we just have year-round birthdays,” Jolie said in an interview about World Refugee Day that aired last night. “It’s a lot of fun now ’cause the older kids are old enough to help plan the birthdays for the younger kids.

“So it’s one of the great pleasures of life, the birthdays,” she continued.

But Jolie (who donated $1 million to Pakistani refugees yesterday through her and Pitt’s foundation) makes sure her kids understand they’re fortunate.

“Some of my kids are from countries that have seen conflict. I usually just explain to them that there are other families in the world that aren’t as fortunate as ours and other kids,” Jolie said.

“And so I tell them that it’s important for all of us to do what we can and then go to these places and understand what’s happening,” she went on. “So I think they’re just being raised that this is the normal thing to do…. Hopefully I’ll take them to as many countries as I can and raise them with an education of the world.”

Jolie says that despite her position as a UNCHR Goodwill Ambassador, she’s “not a political person.

“But I think it doesn’t take much to understand that this is the front line of us fighting against extremists, where all that we hold dear and all that we value is really on the line,” she explained. “This fight is a very personal fight for all of us. And these victims of this crisis, these regular people who are mostly agriculturalists that are fleeing are, you know, we should feel a real connection to them, identify with them…. So I think at least what we can be doing is assisting the humanitarian crisis and assisting the people and the desperate families and the children.”

Not only is Megan Fox on the prowl, but now she’s saying that she wants to date Angelina Jolie.

When asked if she has a crush on Angelina, Megan said, “Absolutely. Every time a relationship ends, I say, ‘If I could just be Angelina’s girlfriend, I would be so happy.’ I love Angelina Jolie. She’s someone I admire and look up to. She’s my favorite actress in Hollywood. I just love that she’s incredibly honest, and I feel that she’s not afraid to be herself. She tells you exactly what’s on her mind.”

The “Transformers” star also says that she doesn’t have any actress friends in Hollywood. She says, “I don’t have any friends who are actresses. I actually only had one girlfriend growing up. Most of my friends were boys. I was such a tomboy.”

She closes the interview talking about her pet pig that she was forced to give away. She adds, “I moved house and there was just no room for him, so I had to find him a new home. It broke my heart because I love that pig. I still miss him but he’s very happy where he is.”

Think Angelina would hook up with Megan for Brad to watch?

It started out as a very special birthday for Angelina Jolie — a surprise celebration at her rented mansion on Long Island, N.Y., featuring all six of her children, fresh flowers from the garden, a homemade cake — and her partner, Brad Pitt, who had put aside his problems with her and flown in from Los Angeles just for the June 4 party. “Brad made an effort to be with Angie,” says a close friend of the couple’s. “He was really hoping they would get along and enjoy themselves.” But, while Brad did go to a lot of trouble for Angelina’s 34th — presenting her with a specially commissioned painting of their family, as well as lingerie from Angelina’s favorite store, Agent Provocateur — it wasn’t long before the troubled couple erupted in a fight over Brad’s ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston. “Things were going fine, and then Angie started accusing Brad of meeting Jen in LA,” says an associate. “It turned into a massive blowup, which left Brad more disillusioned than ever.”

According to another pal, Brad didn’t stick around to argue. “He told her straight out that he’s had enough and was out of there,” the pal reveals. Four days later, Brad was spotted visiting Angelina on the Washington, D.C., set of her film Salt. But the pal says they’re just going through the motions for appearance’s sake. “Angelina has cried a lot of tears over Brad.” Another confidante agrees: “This split has been simmering for months, and unless something drastic happens, it is going to boil over very soon. The only thing keeping Brad from officially walking out is their six kids.”

On Tuesday, Brad Pitt dropped major bucks at Art Basel, an international art show for modern and contemporary works in Basel, Switzerland.

The actor spent $956,000 on a Neo Rauch oil painting, entitled Etappe, according to Bloomberg. The 9-foot-wide painting, done in 1998, shows a swirling view of a driver behind a red racecar, with workers nearby carrying hoses.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Pitt eyed the painting for several minutes while rubbing his goatee and fidgeting with his tweed hat. He initially walked away. “He’s on the fence. Nothing wrong with that, I guess,” New York dealer David Zwirner said.

But within minutes, Pitt returned with Los Angeles collectors Eli and Edythe Broad and made the big purchase.

It wasn’t the first time Pitt splurged on art.

Last year, he bought a white marble table by a Dutch designer and an aluminum rug by a Colombian designer at the same show.

Samm Levine who plays Private First Class (PFC) Gerold Hirschberg in the new movie, revealed cast and crew begged Brad - who has adopted kids Maddox, seven, Pax, five, and four-year-old Zahara and biological children Shiloh, three, and 10-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne with partner Angelina Jolie - to bring his kids to work, but he only introduced them to Maddox.

Samm explained: “He brought Maddox one or two times because he’s the oldest. But everybody wanted him to bring the others, too. Everyone would always ask him, ‘Hey! When are you going to bring the kids?’ And he said, ‘It’s a World War II movie. What’s a good day to bring my kids to this set? I don’t think it would be right.’ So he had a point there. And we were all pretty bummed about that, but we respected his reasoning. He’s a pretty responsible guy.”

While filming Quentin Tarantino’s movie about World War II, Inglourious Basterds, superdad Brad Pitt offered up some unconventional hygiene tips for his sometimes smelly costars.

“He shared that when you’re sweating and don’t have time to take a shower, you just take a baby wipe and rub it under your armpits,” Pitt’s costar and pal Eli Roth told PEOPLE at Saturday’s Spike TV Guys Choice 2009 in Los Angeles, set to air on the cable network June 21 at 10 p.m.

“After a scene, Brad had to get next to me for a close-up shot, and he said, ‘Damn, you’re ripe,’ ” recalls Roth, 37. “I said, ‘I didn’t have time to shower.’ He said, ‘Baby wipes, man, baby wipes.’ ”

When it came to Pitt’s pits, Roth said the leading man explained, “I got six kids. All you’ve got to do is just take them, a couple quick wipes under the pits.” Pitt further said, “Man, I’m getting pissed on all day. I don’t have time to take a shower.”

“I thought that was the greatest tip,” says Roth, who took the advice to heart. “My character is called the Bear Jew. If I ever started to smell like a bear, I would just use a couple baby wipes under the armpits, and it made it safe for everyone else to act around me.”
