From Perez Hilton:
Could Santa Angelina Jolie and her man get any better?

Ange and Brad Pitt's non-profit org, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, has just donated another $1 million - this time to fund the Human Rights Watch's work in Burma and Zimbabwe.

The gift will allow the Human Rights Watch to continue to document and expose the inhumane treatment in both countries and urge for a change.

The grant from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation will be used to fund research and advocacy in the countries.

Kenneth Roth, the executive director at HRW said, "Burma and Zimbabwe are two of the most repressive countries in the world and we need to increase international pressure on them to change."

Roth added, "Brad and Angelina's investment in our work at this critical moment will allow intensified efforts by our researchers to expose the repression that these governments try to keep hidden and by our advocates to generate the global pressure needed to improve people's lives."

If only everyone was as generous as Ange!

From Just Jared:

Brad Pitt dresses up in the ugliest yellow costume ever while filming a new commercial for a Japanese cell phone company in a quaint seaside town in France over the weekend.

UPDATE: German media is reporting that the whole Jolie-Pitt clan flew into Berlin, Germany yesterday. They are expected to stay there for 90 days while Brad films Inglorious Bastards with director Quentin Tarantino.

From People.com:
Brad, Angelina and Their Brood Arrive in Berlin

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are on the move – again!

The globe-trotting actors – and their six children – have left their French home of five months and arrived in Germany, where locals expect them to stay throughout the fall.

They have swapped their chateau and vineyard in the south of France for a villa south of Berlin. Their posh new address? The Palais Parkschloss on Wannsee Lake.

The whole family (including twins Vivienne and Knox, who were born in France) arrived in Berlin Tuesday afternoon on a private plane.

"Brad lifted the kids out of the plane and brought them to the transporter," an eyewitness told PEOPLE. "I saw him lift out Shiloh and Zahara."

Pitt, 44, is in town to film Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards.

The family's new home is nearly 30,000 square feet and includes a boat dock and a helicopter pad. (Tom Cruise was rumored to have bought the villa when it was auctioned off in July 2007.)

It is not clear if Jolie and Pitt – who signed a longterm lease on the French estate – have purchased the property or are simply renting.

The family will have about three weeks to settle in before papa Pitt begins filming.
