Over the weekend, Angelina Jolie headed to Northern Iraq, where the actress and UN Special Envoy visited a refugee camp for thousands of people who fled their homes following ISIS attacks. She met with children and families as she toured the Khanke camp, and during a press conference, she spoke out to say that more help is needed. “Since I was last there in Iraq, another two million people have been forced from their homes,” she said. Angelina called on world leaders to “find a common ground,” adding, “It is not enough to defend our values at home. We have to defend them here, in the camps and in the informal settlements across the Middle East, and the ruined towns of Iraq and Syria.”

Angelina also penned a piece for The New York Times on Tuesday, writing about her time with displaced Iraqis and Syrian refugees. She opens up about trying her best to “give some kind of thoughtful guidance,” adding that she was speechless on her most recent trip: “How can you speak when a woman your own age looks you in the eye and tells you that her whole family was killed in front of her, and that she now lives alone in a tent and has minimal food rations?”

Her overseas trip and her op-ed piece come after a busy couple of weeks for the actress. Earlier this month, Angelina met with Pope Francis during a visit to the Vatican, and two weeks ago, she attended the Critics’ Choice Awards, where her latest directorial effort, Unbroken, was nominated in four categories. See more pictures from her recent trip, and then read her full essay on refugee suffering.

It may have been An Evening With Women, but Pink clearly had something other than a night with the girls on her mind when she got a handful of hubby Carey Hart’s crotch at the event presented by the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center on May 1, 2010.

Brad gave Angelina’s butt a little squeeze while accompanying her to the premiere of “The Tourist” in New York City on June 12, 2010. The film was set in Europe, but Brad was only thinking about heading down south.

Who knew the “War of the Worlds” was won over a game of tonsil hockey? Tom dipped and kissed his then-girlfriend at the New York premiere of his film on June 23, 2005. The dip may have seemed romantic, but we’re pretty sure the gesture was the only way Tom could reach Katie’s lips as she towered over him in those

heels

The designer got up close and personal with Scarlett’s Golden Globes when he took his hosting duties for E! a bit too literally. Scarlett may not have won the award for Best Supporting Actress (she was nominated for her role in “Match Point”), but she certainly took home the trophy for most embarrassing red carpet moment when Mizrahi

Russell gave Katy’s tush a little squeeze at the London premiere of his film “Arthur” on April 19, 2011. The exchange inspired Katy’s breakup anthem “Part of Me,” which is actually about her butt.

Justin and Mila left no mystery as to what the benefits of their friendship were when the then-single actor planted both palms on his “Friends With Benefits” co-star’s chest at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards. As if that was going to clear up the romance rumors flying around about the pair at the time!

Kelly has only the breast intentions! The “Fashion Police” host gave co-star Joan Rivers’ boob a squeeze at an E! Network upfront event at Gotham Hall in New York City on April 30, 2012. Joan’s daughter, Melissa Rivers, stood by in shock — she hasn’t done that in over 40 years!

Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy
She just wasn’t fast enough to move his hand! The supermodel displayed supermettle when she grinned through her husband’s booty grope on the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of “The Campaign” on Aug. 2, 2012.

Paul Rudd, Eva Mendes, and Rosario Dawson
Things sure got spirited at the 2011 Film Independent Spirit Awards! After Paul grabbed Eva’s chest while presenting on the show, Rosario jumped onstage to return the favor. “Why do men always get to cop the feel?” Rosario asked “Access Hollywood.” “Women get to cop a feel too! Just keep it equal opportunity.”

Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton
Billy Bob fondled his then-wife’s chest at the premiere of her film in Los Angeles on June 5, 2000. After they left the red carpet, Angelina’s clothes were totally “Gone in Sixty Seconds.”

Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu
We didn’t know Charlie was British! When the Angels met Prince Charles before a dinner at St. James’s Palace in London on Nov. 21, 2000, Drew went in for a hug — and ended up in a “very hazardous” situation.

Snooki and JWoww
Snooki confused her “Jersey Shore” housemate’s ample bosom for, well, melons when she took a bite out of JWoww’s chest at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards. Snooks, next time bring a snack in case you get too hungry to make it through the red carpet!

Josh Charles and Sophie Flack
The “Good Wife” star proved to be a very bad boyfriend when he felt up his longtime love, “Bunheads” writer and ballerina Sophie Flack, at the 2011 Emmy

Carson Kressley and Ted Allen

Ted was perfectly glad to grab two fistfuls of Carson’s bum when the “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” co-stars attended the 18th GLAAD Media Awards along with Thom Filicia and Kyan Douglas on March 26, 2007.

Chris Noth and Tara Wilson

“SATC” actually stands for “Sex and the (Red) Carpet,” or at least it does for Mr. Big! Chris got a grip on his baby mama’s bum at the premiere of “Sex and the City 2” in New York City on May 24, 2010.

Russell Brand and Chris Colfer
The comedian put the “tempt” in “The Tempest” at the film’s Hollywood, Calif., premiere when he felt up on the shocked “Glee” star.

Ryan Gosling and Nicolas Winding Refn
Ryan’s “Drive” director did what many, many, many of us have long dreamed of doing when he grabbed ahold of the actor and planted a wet one on his face at the 2011 Cannes International Film Festival premiere of their film. Tonight, we’ll all fantasize about being a certain middle-aged Danish director.
