Angelina Jolie, Pax Thien, Zahara and Maddox left Vietnam today to return to the states. Zahara was flown in recently to join her older brothers in a photoshoot to appear in People Magazine and Hello!.
It seems that a lot of people are souring on Angelina after she contradicted herself twice in recent statements. First she sort-of pledged to be a stay-at-home mom, but people note she has several projects coming up. She also apologized to Pax for bringing him into such a media storm, but then quickly turned around and staged a photoshoot to sell the first pictures of her growing family to People and Hello for a reported $2 million.
Angelina is not due to start working until May, and as an actress she can bring her children with her on the set and spend all her free time with them. I’m still giving her the benefit of the doubt and it seems her heart is in the right place.
Sure she’s adopting a child, but she’s also balancing that with work like a lot of women do. She said she would stay home with Pax at first, not for the rest of the year. Heidi Klum has three children and no one bashes her for working too.
Angelina does come off as haughty on occasion, but maybe that’s inevitable as an actress that’s hounded everywhere she goes. It seems the public can turn on a celebrity figure quickly, especially when they embrace the press instead of shunning it. I can’t forget how much she really seems to care about people and all the charity work she does.
I am sure Angelina wants only the best for Pax. Looking at his face in these high resolution pictures, he seems scared and it must be so much for the little kid to take in. Both Zahara and Maddox are sleeping soundly and are being carried. Maybe Pax is just tired and grumpy. I’m sure Pax will manage and that Angelina and Brad will arrange for a translator and cultural advisor for the tyke.
Pax is said to enjoy spending time with his new brother, Maddox. They were seen playing and communicating through signs in the hotel lobby. Angelina told People, “It will take him a while to realize he has a family. and that his new life is permanent and that it won’t keep changing…” “We are slowly beginning to build his trust and bond,” Jolie says, “but it will feel complete only when we are all together.”
That little kid sure has a journey in front of him.
Pictures [via]
I wish people would stop taking pictures of the poor kid and let him get adjusted in peace.
I can see why Angelina did a photo shoot, to hopefully ward off the photographers who stalk her. But, it unfortunately isn’t going to happen.
I hope she gets home and locks herself and her family in the house for a while and lets them all get acquainted–staying out of sight and away from the cameras.
YOU SEE HERE SHE IS HOLDING PAX AND I HAVE YET TO SEE HER HOLD SHILOH ONCE !!!!!!!!!!!!CAN SOMEONE PROVIDE A LINK WHERE SHE IS HOLDING SHILOH I HAVE SEEN HER HOLD MADDOX AND ZAHARA WHAT ABOUT SHILOH
WHY WASANT SHILOH FLOWN IN BABYS ARE ALLOWD TO FLY TOO DOES ANYONY ELSE OUT THERE NOTICE THAT SHILOH IS LEFT OUT ALOT I REMEMBER WHEN SHE HAD MADDOX AS A BABY SHE WOULD HAVE HIM IN A SNUGLI AND HAVE NEVER SEEN SHILOH IN A SNUGLI OR ANAGELINA EVEN HOLD HER ONCE
Farrah, out of the 4 pictures I remember of Shiloh being held by anybody (not in a stroller), it WAS Angelina holding her. Plus, there was that hide-me-behind-blankets from the very early days. She does not hold Zahara more often, actually.
I think it was a smart choice to not have Shiloh there. She is only 10 months old, it’s not as if she will understand what’s going on. It would probably be better to introduce her to her new brother at home…plus, maybe Daddy Bard wanted someone to keep him company…he really seems to dote on Shiloh.
thats true brad is the only one who gives her attention out f both of them and that is nt true about 10 months old not knowing what is going on they do know babies know more then you think
Maybe Shiloh did got because she has not had her shots to travel outside the country. The other kids came with the shots in order to get into the country. Shiloh is still just a baby and maybe she didn’t want to expose her to a third world country. I wouldn’t.
I think it’s good that Shiloh is not there. She’s too young for that and even if she WOULD understand (which I do doubt) it would be too much for her. She’s better off at home meeting brother there. If we’re going to b*tch at Angelina about not keeping her kids on schedule and flying them all over God’s green earth, let’s not turn around and ask why Shiloh isn’t there. Maybe, she has Shiloh’s best interest at heart!
On to other things…Angie needs a burger or three look at her get-away-sticks. How can she keep up with the kids, Brad and saving the world if she caught in an up-draft?
It was a good idea to leave Shiloh at home – anyone who has ever had kids would know that to fly a 10 month old around the world would result in them being out of their routine, and fussy. That is NOT the calm intoruduction you want to give to a scared adoptee.
I agree with whoever said the photo shoot was to give everyone what they want – ie a good look at the kid – and then go home and shut the door for a while. Just watch – I bet we don’t see much of them for a while.
Why does Farrah have so much invested in AJ not caring as much about Shiloh as she does for the other kids? We have NO IDEA what Angie thinks or how she feels, and frankly I have better things to worry about. I’m sure Shiloh is very well taken care of.
Because FArrah is a freakin’ bitter loony toon….
People (like the nutcase mentioned above) will jump on the Hello spread as a publicity seeking stunt however, you can bet that the whole fee will be donated to charity and I agree that its probably a calculated move to make paparazzi shots less valuable.
am i the only one sees that shiloh is left behind alot ???????/why when aj had maddox she always had him in a snugli or with her i dont think she is ever going to hold her and i do agree i sure her medical and nutrutional needs are met but thats about it .what about love and attention for shiloh.it is possible that she has less or no feelings for shiloh why cant you all belive a femous person might not love her biological child
FArrah–Are you pulling our collective leg or are you straight
the fuck out of your mind?
There’s some girl who says she is going to starve herself until one of the AI contestants she considers undeserving gets voted off, the guy with the hair. Perhaps you, FArrah, can starve yourself until Shiloh gets the love and attention you think she needs. Go for it.
Hehehe Fab, you’re evil.
Judging by the spelling and the sentiment, my guess is FArrah’s a 12 year old school girl.
shiloh has her shots remember… they were just in cambodia a few months ago…
weird….but best of luck to the whole lot of them
You know, I really believe that FArrah is a troll. I mean, come on–look at the bad spelling and grammar, and the obsessive repetition. Troll for sure.
yes, FArrah is so out there. her negativity doesn’t even make sense. i wouldn’t be surprised if she was a 12 yr old girl. she’s stupid to think that we can judge an entire woman and her family’s life of several pictures. A picture develops in less than second, yet she is so readily willing to judge the love and affection a mother has with her own born child based on what? 20 seconds worth of photos? plus we’ve all seen the photo spreads of Angelina and Brad looking adoringly at their baby daughter.
grow up kid, and i severely hope you are a kid. otherwise…best of luck darling, you’re gonna need it.
Being a feminist, I find it pretty offensive that women would so readily imply that another woman is a child abuser based on such flimsy evidence. We should support each other and remember that the vast majority of women love thei
oops
..r children unconditionally.
Actually Whorelina told the world in an interview that she didn’t bond as well with Shiloh because she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and that she felt more for her adopted kids because of the terrible conditions they were born into..She also said that Shiloh was an accident..IMO, she only got pregnant to get Brad, and it worked…it will be sad for those kids when Vagalina finally goes over the deep end, then again maybe they won’t need as much therapy, if she isn’t there to drag thier little asses all over the world instead of giving them a stable home life…shes a freakin nut.
…someone’s on the wrong blog
chill out on FArrah ladies,… i think that she has some valid points.
(this tongue in cheek………)
I have a suggestion for Angelina. or maybe the chick out there that thinks that she has the goods to top her.(lol)
she could just get pregnant with all of the male slut actors in hollywood and have these most unique really cool diverse biological samples of what their juicy juices and hers would produce.
there is so much pootang being shared in hollywierd that i am one hundred percent positive that
their kids would all be these semi-planned bioengineered future stars of hollywood.
America is the most ethnically diverse country in the world.
glitter puss, relax it girlfriend.
juicy juices??? gross.
noone take her advice. it is all so wrong. so very very wrong.
do not, i repeat, do not do what glitter puss is telling you to do.
here’s why:
i read in the unicef newsletter that there is this major overpopulation of celebutards, and we need to stand guard about the rampant spread of tardified children whose only aspiration is to be on a reality tv show, be tweakers, and all dress the same. the sluttification of hollywood is contributing to global warming. global warming of the collective cooter.
yes, i am working on a doctoral thesis regarding the collective cooter.
not
i have a question….
for people in the ginormous tax brackets, making charitable donations could fall into the tax deduction category…no???
calling the celebrity accountants out there.
call me cynical, but i don’t believe that people like A just give away 2 million dollars here and there like its no big deal. she must be paid something…maybe they inflate the numbers…. i am curious as to how this works. like how do the celebrities get paid for pictures, how do they determine the price paid to the celeb. and then, how or who pays the paparazzos who capture that random picture of some celeb …do the magazines pay them? and what about all the pics on the web…who is getting paid and how?????
peepas — farrah is a KNOWN TROLL. She was kicked off and banned three times from a music chat board I know of. Shes not a 12yr old, she’s a 20-something “dancer” who enjoys stirring up trouble on the internet.
first of all i dont visit chat rooms secondly to the peron who said
“she’s stupid to think that we can judge an entire woman and her family’s life of several pictures. ”
these are the facts
1.she did take a picture with brad and shiloh but she was NOT holding her
2 judging by pictures i have not seen any pictures with ag holding shiloh
3no one has provided me with a link showing aj HOLDING shiloh
4she did call her first born daughter a blob
5she adopted maddox at a very young age and always had him with her in a snugli or holding him ,he was very young youger then shiloh is now and i would always see her with maddox
i use to like becuse of the help she gave other countries but after iread that interview how she said shiloh was a blob i didint like her anymore i think someone should adopt shiloh from aj how cn aj go to adopt pax and not include shiloh why were the other kids included and its not like aj was alone to ake care of all the kids she has the “help” what kinds of excuses are you all going to have when shiloh is older talking and walking and is she left behind my belief is angelina is repeating what she felt was done to her by her dad i also think she will never bond with shiloh from the moment of preagnancy to five years is the most crucial time for a child everything that happens to shiloh will determine a whole lot and thank you hello kitty
I think she should have left both of the girls at home if she left one, older children are easier to manage alone.
I have seen her holding Shiloh I think twice.
I don’t think its fair to dump on her about Shiloh, we’ll see in a couple of years.
It seems as though she is carrying him all the time so he can bond with her.

“first of all i dont visit chat rooms”
oh yeah, what about The Darkness Forum? You don’t call that a chatroom? You have threatened and threatened people and I know who are, “TEXAS ROCKS”. jeeze.
wow, this just makes me weepy and suddenly have this humongous urge to buy the adult size snugli and strap myself into it and just cuddle myself.
i need my mama
