Angelina Jolie takes her big girls shopping in New York City!
February 18, 2009 by Sherry
I had thought that maybe Angelina Jolie was alone in New York City if she was just there for a quick assignment. However, she isn’t – because today Angelina was seen with Zahara and Shiloh, doing a bit of shopping at one of their favorite NYC stores, Lee’s Art Shop in the Midtown area.
I think that every time the family has ever been in New York for any length of time, they always hit up that store at least once. They must sell some fun stuff for the kids.
How adorable are these two big girls?! I can’t believe how much they’re growing and they both look so cute. Shiloh is looking more like Brad Pitt every time I see her and Zahara still has her no-nonsense attitude, I love it!
I wonder if it’s just Angelina and the big girls in the city. That would be a nice Mom and daughters getaway for them – Vivienne can join them too when she gets a little bit older!
Two more photos of Angelina Jolie, Zahara, and Shiloh at Lee’s Art Shop below the cut!
I wonder what’s inside those little baskets?

joliepittfanatic, you’re probably right. I’d think the babies are with Angie too.
Oops, I said that already. Sorry.
Here I go yet again! Isacutie’s comment about Brad, Angie, and JA being at the same event at the same time got me thinking. It’s very possible that all three of them will show up (in fact, if Brad and Angie DON’T show up, I’ll be actually be a little worried. When they’re nominated for an award, they virtually always show up at the award show unless they have film commitments, one of them, both of them, or one or more of the kids get sick, or there’s an emergency)…But won’t talk to each other (obviously I mean Brad and Angie talking to JA. As far as just Brad and Angie are concerned, if past awards shows are any indication, we’ll see more than just talking going on between the two of them!) or approach each other.
I mean, really, how often do exes speak to each other or approach each other when they find themselves at the same event, even in the “real” world?
Sherry, best wishes and hope everyone is better-!!
My word those little girls are so beautiful and I wish all the family well. As for Jennifer, please let her be.
Brad and Angie have had a wonderful happy time and they’re so fortunate in all aspects. Jennifer deserves that too, with or without John, lets wish her joyfulness and good vibes.
Oh, I forgot to mention this: The twins, if they are indeed in NYC with Angie and the older girls, are probably being doted on and spoiled by at least four women right now: Their mommy Angie, their “little mommies” Zee Zee and Shi, and at least one nanny!
Angela, wanna thank you once again for the links. I immediately reply soon as you sent them but my comment was under mod. Really had a great time looking at those pics
Sherry, hope your daughter will get well soon.
UNDER MOD- The twins are probably getting loads of attention right now if they’re in NYC….
isacutie and joliepittfanatic, six months ago,I might have believed that Jen has moved on, but then she did Vogue and GQ interviews, and made it very clear that is far from the truth. From what I have read recently, one of the changes the Academy was putting in place this year, was to not announce the names of the presenters before hand. All she had to do was turn up and make her presentation. But that would not have served her purpose. It is very obvious that Jen and her PR had her boyfriend leak the info that she will be presenting, because she wants to encourage the media circus, and try to rain on Brad and Angie’s parade.
This woman never cease to amaze me with her media manipulations, and the media allows her to get away with it. I am sorry, but I really don’t like her.
some more photos… with Z’s beautiful close up pics. love her big eyes hehehe

I am struck by the difference between the photos and the vid. Obviously the girls are cute in both but while Shilo looks more grown up in the photos, in the vid she looks very vulnerable. I guess what that means is the vid felt inappropriate and oppressive and for some reason not so much with the photos. Says more about me I guess.
Thanks Sherry for giving us PW a chance to see these lovely ladies. But do take are of your family first. Thanks also to the link in Vegas. A realtor told me that Brad and George Clooney bought properties in Vegas, namely a place at the Hard Rock complex. We have our time share in Vegas (Marriott) and we met that realtor who told us this information. As for the Oscars, well the academy for some crazy reason, always invite a variety of “celebrities,” to get ratings. They don’t only invite past Oscar winners, they also invite B, C and D listers so to speak. Their favorites are Drew B., Jennifer A, Cameron D. etc. People who were not nominated or have won an Oscar but can look dressed up at the RC. I read somewhere that Brad & Angie will probably go directly to their table and cut the RC & interviews.
STOP TALKING ABOUT JEN! I am starting to get peeved that she is constantly being brought into discussions. Get over it!
Angela thanx for the links. They are the cutest beings out there.
And Sherry I hope your daughter gets well quick. =]
isacutie: you’re right, i think there is no problem if they are in the same event, everybody has moved on!
i heard that jen ‘ll go there with john and i think it’s great!
Passerby- Relax! Someone happened to hear that JA is attending the Oscars, and felt she should warn us that the tabs are probably going to pounce all over that fact. From there, well, the rest of us chimed in and you can see what happened!
wow! both are a CUTIE!
like the way Zee-zee stares.. hahaha!
seem’s like she’s saying: “who the heck are these guys following us wherever we go?!”
Shiloh is catching up to Zee-zee.. their almost the same height! time flies by so quickly! I think Shiloh is looking like Angie now.. look at her lips and nose! their the same as her! hahaha! the next most poutiest lips would be for shiloh! hahaha!
the next thing we know it’s just Maddox, then came Zee-zee.. then Shiloh.. then Pax.. now the twins! whew!
thanks for the links angela!
love the solo pic of shiloh! she’s always smiling!
she has the cutest smile..
she really look like angie now!
how i wish paps would never get too close..
i mean they have powerful lenses that could take
great pics eventhough their far away..
love how zee-zee stares at them! way to go
zee-zee!
I admit, I would not like it very much if someone ask me to break up with my boyfriend and I am not asking Jen, I am just thinking out loud. I feel that it is no big deal if Jen goes to the oscar and it should not have made headline news at all but given the person who told the world and how he went about it just seem a bit iffy to me. seriously though, he told the world when talking to popsugar?
Additionally, I feel that brad is the only one who has tried to put an end to the triangle. Jen could come out and say all is well, let by gones be be-gones. Instead, she breaks up the kids in conversations and addresses it with cynical jokes
I don’t see either of the girls smiling in the pics or the video. I see Zee looking cautiously and I see Shi chewing on her lip maybe a nervous habit. I’ve seen Brad do that in interviews. I love seeing the pics of them but, why so many. Maybe some of these magazines will start going bankrupt and then some of the photo companies will to. This will cut down on the photogs.
On whether or not Shi’s and Zee’s clothes are “feminine” (RE a poster above):
I’ve heard criticisms of the way Angie dresses the girls before (not to mention how she does or doesn’t do Zee’s hair). I have plenty of experience with young girls, and they really aren’t all that worried about appearing “feminine.” They like being comfortable and more importantly, having fun with their outfits. Some little girls are more into dresses than others. I personally love Shi’s sneaks and both of their outfits here. Also, as a New Yorker, I can say you see plenty of kids wearing all different kinds of clothes on the streets. Gender appropriateness just seems a little moot for young children, and definitions of femininity need not be so conservative, no matter how old you are! Just cause it’s not a pink dress doesn’t mean it’s not feminine. (Check out this pic of a kid NYC fashion sense: http://www.thesartorialist.com/photos/2159ZjumpWeb.jpg)
the photos of the kids are great and angie seems to be so hands on. shiloh is looking more like brad and is definately getting taller. Z has the same look as always like “could we just be out without dragging all the cameras”. hope your family is getting better and take care of your back sherry. i have gone thru two spinal surgies in the last year and an half and it has been the most miserable time of my life. your site lifts my spirits as brad and angie have always been my favorite people to read about.i get great joy out of there family pics, to see the kids change day to day is such a treat. take care.
I just have to add one thing to this discussion: it will never be Brad AND Angie vs. Jen anyway. No matter what his feelings towards Jen are, Brad will always feel differently towards her than Angie will, because of Brad´s history and past with her. Brad and Angie will never be 100 % in the same boat there. I know this can be hard for the new partner sometimes (and it seems like it´s quite hard to some fans also) – I know from myself that I am not above to experiencing jealousy feelings towards my husband´s exes, but quite obviously my husband has different feelings for them. While he does not love them anymore, he might still have some warm feelings of friendship for one or two of them. And I´m sure it´s no different in Brad´s case with Jen. All I hope for Angie´s sake is that she is above feeling jealous of Brad´s past. And I think she is, but it seems some fans are not, and somehow…..this bothers me. It really is nobody´s business, right? And if Jen still harbours bitter feelings, it´s her right. And of course Angie probably has no bitter feelings – how could she? – , but she´s also human, so she might feel a little funny about the fact that there is a woman out there who was also once loved by Brad and shared many years with him. However, as I said before, she might be above it. I hope she is. And I wish we all could be, too!
Sherry, could you please push this through? I know your daughter is sick, but I seem to be stuck in the moderation queue very long, unless I complain
joliepittfanatic,
Im sorry i sounded rash but my point was that jolie-pitt fans always feel the need to defend Angie and I feel that is not needed. How do we expect the tabs to forget and move on when we cant. Plus ignoring the tabs is so easy. Again I am sorry I sounded rash.
Ooooh, both girls are so pretty (and so is their mom!). I love it that Shiloh is all bubbly and smiling and Zee has her game face on
So cute.
… and their mother is gorgeous, as usual.
Passerby, no problem! Personally, I’m just plain sick of the tabs constantly bringing the triangle up. For me, when I discuss that topic on here, it’s usually more about that than about defending Angie.
Also, it’s harder than you think to avoid the tabs, considering they’re right their in your face whenever you go through the check-out line at a grocery store, or at Target, Wal-Mart, etc.
Anne, I don’t see anything wrong with what John Mayer said. Maybe he didn’t need to announce that he and JA are going to the Oscars, but, to his credit, he did not (from what I’ve read, anyway) mention ANYTHING about Brad, Angie, or the “triangle”. All he said was that this is going to be his first time at the Oscars and his first time as an “Oscar boyfriend”.
Now, if he HAD brought up the triangle, then yes, I’d be a little upset.
Oh, and I forgot to mention last night that I think there’s one other way the tabs might possibly finally let go of the “triangle: If JA has a baby. However, I’m afraid that, if JA ever DOES have a baby, s/he will constantly be compared to Shiloh and the twins (just as Shiloh and Suri are constantly compared).
Also, if JA decides to adopt (she IS 40, so it’s possible that, if she really DOES want kids, she’ll choose the adoption route), she’ll probably be, once again, compared to Angie, and possibly even accused of copying Angie.
Other than the horrible people snapping photos its like any other family outting… a mom spending some time with her kids. I do think Brad and Angelina really try to give the kids individual/special time, which is important. And the really try to do normal stuff wit their kids – bike rides, art shops, park and they dress them like little kids not fashionistas, well little kids with unique style I should say.
Those are two sweet little girls, and Shiloh looks like the double of Brad but with Angelina’s lips.
I’ve been looking at photos on other sites and I should stop reading the comments because I am offended at the things people are saying – and mainly about Shiloh, this child is really singled out for the hate, I just don’t get it??? She’s an innocent little girl? But people are vile about her. I’ve noticed that you don’t see her with Brad a lot, do you think that is potentially planned to stop all the hate being spewed towards her?
Soozie, I don’t think the comments about Shiloh has to do with her not being photographed with Brad very much. Unfortunately, the hate being spewed in other sites about this family can be really toxic and the best thing is just to ignore them. While none of us really know what truly goes on with them, the photos we do see show them to be a happy family and the kids, while in some photos they look understandably stressed probably because of all the screaming and shouting and flashes from camera, also look very happy on photos that are taken from far away.
Angela, thanks for the links.
Anyway, my last take on the Oscar thing. I understand that in recent interviews from Jennifer, there were comments from her, but I think if you are constantly being asked leading questions by media, eventually you just might be moved to answer in a way that could actually be misconstrued or misquoted or taken out of context. I’m not a big fan of Jennifer, but I don’t not like her either. And as Victoria had pointed out, they were part of each other’s life and I think most people just aren’t able to fully erase someone from their lives, especially someone they really loved. That said, I don’t think it means Jen has not moved on. I know there are people who disagree with me, but that’s just my opinion and I respect yours as well. I just think it’s time we should not be upset if news like this come out.
Oh well, what I just really wanted to say in my post earlier was that I just felt it was high time to have them all in one event because it show that things have moved on. Like I said before, the media, especially tabloid media, always play up this angle because they know people are interested, so really they are trying to continue to divide people. Time we ignore it.
Oops, my comment is under moderation…I’ll wait but I hope it comes up soon.
dianad1968, I never said that JA has moved on. In fact, I even acknowledged the fact that yes, it’s very possible that she still feels a little bitter.
However, brief quotes in interviews are not, in my opinion, a very good way to judge if someone is “over” something or how they truly feel. For example, JA’s comments could have been taken out of context (as has happened with Angie’s comments more times than I can count), she may not have meant them in a bad way at all (really, none of them seem THAT bad to me. The joke about kids for example, was, I believe, just JA’s way of trying to make light of the sitaution. I don’t think she was trying to hurt Angie or Brad), or she may just be one of those people who doesn’t “come off” the best in interviews and/or doesn’t have the best communication skills and thus ends up sticking her foot in her mouth quite often. Also, keep in mind that things can end up “sounding” a lot different on paper than they do in person.
Who knows, maybe if we’d listened to JA actually making those comments, they would have sounded much better than they came across on paper.
Or maybe she is still very bitter. The fact is, we really have no idea. Other than the Vogue and GQ quotes, all we have to go on is Brad’s comments to W about JA being a “sweetheart”, and Angie vs. JA being tabloid and media created.
Considering he was with JA for seven years and married to her for four of those years (not counting the year they divorced), I’m going to trust him over the tabloids!
As far as John Mayer’s comment goes…Let’s not jump the gun here, please! For all we know, he’s just very, very excited about his very first Oscars and thus ended up blurting out that JA is going to be presenting and he’s going with her. Oh, and did he ever say that JA was presenting? All I’ve seen printed is: “This will be my first Oscars, and my first as an Oscar boyfriend” (the latter part is what makes me think he’s excited and giddy about his first Oscars and also very in love!).
Anne, I never said JA has tried to do anything to stop the “triangle”. I was just trying to point out that, no matter what ANY of those three try to do, I don’t think it’s going to stop the tabs from hanging onto the “triangle”. That’s not the same as saying they’ve all tried to do stuff to stop it.
As far as Angie is concerned, though, I think she just tries to treat it like most of the negative press the J-Ps recieve: Simply ignore it and, as they say, “turn a blind eye”. Angie has said that both she and Brad tend to ignore what’s written about the tabs and other media sources (unless it’s PEOPLE, which the J-Ps seem to have a good relationship with, or another super crediable source. I don’t, however, think that includes what other celebs say about them in interviews.), and I think that is especially true of her.
She even said back in- I believe- 2007 that at the end of the day, the only opinons about her and Brad that matter to her are those of four (now six, obviously) people- their kids!
Granted, she HAS talked about how she and Brad first got together in interviews, but for her I think it’s just about being in love with Brad, not about trying to fuel some “triangle”. Also, it’s been four years, for goodness sake. She and Brad are allowed to discuss their feelings for each other, including when and how they first met!
Bottom line: There IS something about JA that sort of rubs me the wrong way, but I’m not going to judge her by a few interview quotes that may have been taken out of context.
UNDER MOD- Responses to dianiad1968 and Anne.
soozie, I’m curious, why do you think Shiloh would attracted more hatred if she were seen with Brad (not trying to attack you, just geniunely curious!)? In anycase, I doubt Shi not being seen with Brad very much is delibrite. Angie and Brad have made it clear that they don’t care what the tabs think of them, and I’d assume that extends to the h8ters among the general public as well.
That said, I completely agree with you! I don’t know why Shi gets attacked so much, either. I do have one theory, though. I think a lot of those h8ters are still very sore about the whole “triangle” business and see Angie as the reason Brad left JA.
Therefore, I think the fact that Angie has biological kids with Brad bothers them. I think they feel that JA should be the one who had Brad’s babies, and that Angie ripped that chance away from her.
So, unfourtnately, they take their h8tred of Angie and the fact that she’s the one who had Brad’s babies out on sweet, innocennt little Shiloh. In fact, that poor little girl has been attacked since before she was even born! Some h8ters actually said that they hoped she would be a miscarriage, or be born handicapped.
Also, unfourtnately, Vivienne seems to be getting some of that h8tred now as well (thus far, I think Knox has been spared). When the pictures of the family at the airport in Japan came out, some people were, according to other pittwatchers who read the comments at JJ and other sites, claiming that Viv looks like she has Down Syndrome, just because of her bemused, “What the heck are all these strange men doing taking my picture?” experssion in the photos!
Shi also had that expression as a baby….and many of the h8ters claimed that she was Autistic.
All of that said, it’s not just Shi and Viv who get picked on. Sweet little Zee Zee has had downright vicious racial remarks thrown at her. People also used to complain that she always looks unhappy or angry….until a few months ago when both Brad and Angie spoke of how Zee Zee is scared of the paps.
What saddens me the most is that someday Zee, Shi, and Viv are going to grow up and be able to read those awful comments about them.
If you watch the video at X17, it looks like Lee’s Art shop called the paps in advance. Because the camera pans to the sign several times in the video and it seems like blatant advertising. That would mean Angelina also calles the shop in advance, to let them know they are coming.
I don’t know, it all seems strange But if they just got in the car and drove there without telling anyone,there is no chance there would be so many paps just waiting around at that store.
Response to Joliepittfanatic:
I guess Shiloh (being the first biological child) represents the definite end of Brad/Jen and the definite confirmation of Brad/Angelina so perhaps Brad avoids being photographed with her to spare some of the vile… I don’t know just a thought, I also wondered if perhaps he tries to give a little more to Maddox, Pax and Zahara so they understand completely that there is no difference between biological and adopted children… who knows I am merely speculating. But I 100% believe that Brad and Angelina love their six children equally. Though the press had a field day with saying that Angelina hated Shiloh. Sad, as that poor little girl might read that some day… and as the mother of two I totally get how you could refer to a newborn as a blob, they really do nothing and unlike first time moms, Angelina had two children who came to her when they were slightly older and had started being little people…. I think its sad that everything she has said about Shiloh gets twisted and turned into something so mean and nasty.
But I strongly believe that attacking a two and a half year old and saying things from she is slow to fat to ugly to a b***ard is lower than low and these people should remember that she’s someone’s baby and that they love her.
isacutie, thank you! You just said EXACTLY what I was trying to say…only you explained it much better than I did. I also totally agree with you about your view on the three of them being at the Oscars together.
Oh, and Soozie, I forgot to mention yesterday that I strongly suggest you DO stop reading the comments on those other sites. I used to read the comments on X17 and Just Jared and I finally had to stop because they’re so vicious. Also, as tempting as it is, whatever you do, DON’T respond to the h8ters! That’s EXACTLY what they want. The best thing is to just ignore them…they h8te that!
UNDER MOD- Isacutie, thank you….
Oh, and in regards to what isacutie said about most people not being able to just erase someone you really loved from your life: Brad basically said just that in his W Interview. He said that they were a big part of each other’s lives, and married for five years, and that’s not just something you can erase or ignore.
Hello Pittwatch,
Firstly, Sherry I want to say I think you do such a great job here. Thank you. I check the site often but this is my first comment – which I feel compelled to make — i watched the video on the other site and I was also shocked that there was so many photographers there already and that the children were led through the gauntlet like that. It must have been pre-arranged. I would just like to hear what you guys think about this —
perhaps i overestimate the harm this kind of attention can do to children. Maybe its all good? But if not, why would Angelina put her children in that situation? I love her. I just can’t understand this.
Zara- My view is that Angie and Brad are determind to give their kids as “normal” a life as possible by taking them to kid-friendly stores, the park, the movies, etc…and they aren’t going to let the paps stop them.
If it WAS pre-arranged, I think that, as another poster said, it was the store who did the pre-arranging.
Soozie, I agree again! I also don’t understand why people call Shiloh “fat”. Yes, she still has somewhat chubby cheeks, but some people keep their “baby faces” well into adulthood!
I Wish them all the best. GOD bless there family
Truly sad that people would say a toddler is fat. Thank GOODNESS she’s got lots of baby fat! It means she’s healthy. It seems the Jolie-Pitts realize this. Again, thank goodness.
