Pittwatch.com: Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Gossip

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt “Most Influential Infant” says Forbes

by Sherry on December 14th, 2007

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is most influential infantAccording to Forbes.com, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt ranks as the most influential infant. The article says that they came to this conclusion by looking “at both Web presence and press clippings for more than 50 A-list offspring (5 years old and younger) over the course of a year. Then, with a whittled-down list, we reached out to Encino, Calif.-based polling firm E-Poll Market Research for both awareness data for the kids and consumer-appeal rankings for their celebrity parents.”

They said that Shiloh grabbed first place by being high-profile herself, what with the wait for her arrival, and because Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are her high-profile parents, and that she showed up in over 2000 articles in one year.

For informational purposes, Suri Cruise came in second (I expected as much), but Zahara Jolie-Pitt grabbed third place, and Pax Jolie-Pitt - who has been with the family for less than a year but was also eagerly anticipated all across the internet - came in fifth (Sean Preston Federline came in fourth, likely ranking high because people want to know what Britney is doing to endanger her poor children’s lives). Maddox Jolie-Pitt likely would have been in the top ten too but was too old for this particular study at the age of six years.

I agree completely with a comment made in the article by Danielle Friedland of celebrity-babies.com. She said that the reason so many people are fascinated with these young kids is because while we can’t relate on a personal level to the lives of celebrities and all their luxuries, we can often identify with the parenting side.

87 opinions for Shiloh Jolie-Pitt “Most Influential Infant” says Forbes

    I know you won’t post this, because unlike real people who value others opinions, unless we don’t “worship” these two, postings don’t get posted on your site. I’m not a Brangelina hater, but the last interview Angie gave was VERY disappointing. How can all of you as “moms” even relate to her latest “run of the mouth”. She’s beautiful, talented, and more, but this latest interview was a REAL downer. Shiloh will have to read this one day…how sad is that. See interview below:

    Angelina said: “She looks like Brad. It’s funny because she’s almost going to be the outcast in the family because she’s blonde and blue-eyed.”

    The 32-year-old actress also revealed she feels “more” of a connection to her adopted children Maddox, six, Pax, three, and two-year-old Zahara, than she does to “privileged” 18-month-old Shiloh.

    Angelina explained to Look magazine: “I felt so much more for Madd, Zahara and Pax because they were survivors.

    “Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born.

    “But I’m conscious that I have to make sure I don’t ignore her needs, just because I think the others are more vulnerable.”

    (she has to make a CONSCIOUS effort not to ignore Shilo’s needs..she just lost my vote as a supporter)

    This Is Very Cute :) But Their Time And Research Could Have Gone 2 Something A Little More Important I Think

  • Sherry
    Dec 14, 2007 at 10:47 am

    Kevin - perhaps you should read the previous threads where this has been discussed ad nauseum. Never mind that it’s a rather OLD interview.

    I guess I’m a bad mother too - my youngest child was so easy-going as a baby (less so now that she’s two and more expressive) that I tended to focus on my oldest who was having a hard time adjusting to a new sibling. I also had to remind myself to keep from forgetting my baby not because I’m a horrible piece of crap but because she was laid back and was content to just lie around.

    Also, many people seem to misunderstand what is meant by “I feel for”. Feel for and love are not the same thing. I myself FEEL for children you see on Saturday morning television, the kids in third world countries sitting in the dirt eating a few grains of rice. I feel for them because they have hardships; I don’t need to feel for my own kids that way because their biggest hardship of the day might be that I said they can’t have another damn cookie until tomorrow. I FEEL more for those underprivileged kids but I obviously don’t LOVE them more.

    Further perspective - I feel for my oldest who had two surgeries to correct an eye problem when she was just a little thing. I don’t need to feel for my youngest who did not have the same surgery. Yet I love them both equally.

    People who dislike Brad and/or Angelina say that we can only see things in a skewed and positive glow. That seems to work both ways because people who have already decided they don’t like either of these two will only ever follow the negative tabloid headlines.

    And how can we “moms” align with Angelina? Because we’re not freakin’ June Cleaver, that’s why. It’s people like you who create this Virgin Mary/Mother Teresa persona for motherhood who cause a lot of mothers to never want to reveal their actual human side.

    Kevin I Respect Your Opinion But I Truly Believe People Are Taking This Out Of Context. Mad, Z And Pax Come From Countries Plagued With Poverty. Shiloh Was Not. I Believe She Just Wants 2 Make Sure The Other 3 Dont Feel Different In The Family. As They Get Older They Will Realize That They Are Minorities And Angie Wants Them 2 Feel Like They Have Self Worth Now While Theyre Young. Because Shiloh Will Not Have 2 Deal With These Issues She Has 2 Remind Herself 2 Be Conscious Of Shiloh And Her Feelings But Trust Me This Is A Woman Who Loves All Of Her Children. I Hope My Explanation Makes Sense 2 U

  • Loren
    Dec 14, 2007 at 11:03 am

    I don’t believe this is a real quote from Angelina, or a real article either; a made up one to sell magazines. I agree with tenika about a better use of time and research.

  • quiet no more
    Dec 14, 2007 at 11:11 am

    Bravo Sherry! Well said indeed.

    To Kevin or anyone for that matter can you imagine how the other kids will feel when in articles they will probably encounter when they are older they will read headlines such as: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have one daughter and three adopted children?

    The reality is, as has been said many many times we don’t know what they’re lives are like. Words are taken out of context all the time by the press.

    There is no such thing as perfection and for some reason people feel the need to compare her to it. It’s a losing comparison afterall she is only human.

  • irma
    Dec 14, 2007 at 11:22 am

    I agree with Sherry & Loren. Usually, tabloids twisted the words from Ange’s mouth, I feel for the children of the third world countries but love my children as much I care for others. I can’t understand why people see & remember a lot of negatives written about Ange but never research the facts. I believe she loves her children equally, regardless if either biological child or adopted. For God’s sake, Shi is her & Brad’s own blood, how can she not love her as much as the other children?

  • Enya
    Dec 14, 2007 at 11:26 am

    Kevin,

    those are exactly my thoughts. I red the article too and could not understand why would Angelina say those terrible things about her own child? I have a great respect for her work as a humanitarian. She is a smart woman, who knows what to say in public. That interview MUST be made up, probably with the intention to harm her. At least I hope so.

    Angelina does not have to feel any way if she indeed made that comment. Those are her feelings and Ang & Brad will explain to Shiloh when she gets older what she actually meant not what the tabs want you to believe.

    Shiloh will have understood by then because she will probably have the same compassion for human beings as her parents do.

    The article is nice but it does’nt mean anything and might just rile some other celeb mothers and their fans.

    In the venice picture of all four of the JP children, they all look very secure to me and in that particular picture Shiloh looks like she’s a Handful ( I am sure they all are). Brad and Angie are well adjusted, sane people, who can’t help but love all their children. To all the fans and Sherry have a happy holiday; Sherry thanks for a very wonderful site and your work in keeping fans informed about our favorite family.

    Hello to everyone here at Pittwatch…and again, thanks to Sherry who puts up with all of us - I love your work!!! I went onto Chaos Theory site and could see more of who you are. Very enjoyable.
    My opinion about the confusion related to the comments that AJ makes is that she is so candid, AND NOT MAINSTREAM that she is often misinterpreted, and then because she belongs to the hottest couple on the planet, anything about them will be read and yes, even devoured. So, the media exploits this. These comments were (sort of) made a very long time ago, and are simply being run again to tear her down after all the GREAT publicity that Brad put out in the past few weeks with MAKE IT RIGHT. He not only made it right with the Pink Houses, but he told all of America that his emotional tie to AJ came AFTER MMS. It’s the old classic story - wherever there is light - dark is attracted. Hold the Jolie-Pitt Family in the light, and have the hope that they can continue to do the good work — quit looking for the dark cloud — enjoy the beauty of the parade! Yes, perhaps Shiloh will read this interview one day, and because she has the caring parents she was born to, they will fully explain the reality, (they will all laugh about it) and she will indeed know the life of tabloids and be able to think critically about it.

    Dec 14, 2007 at 3:42 pm

    Oh pleeeeez, cee! I can´t stand this referral to a JA site anymore. Do you think that anybody who offers a critical voice is automatically a JA fan? You are using JA as a means of insult.
    I hate that polarising. If Brad Pitt loved her for seven years, and has now loved AJ for three, then that should mean they must both be nice ladies, right? At least, that´s what I gather, being a BP fan. I don´t think he´d be involved with someone not nice. So - why the divide?
    And apart from that - why should someone who does not like AJ automatically like JA? Where is the logic? Sheesh.
    I wish this would stop.

    On another topic, Sherry, could you shine some light on this matter? I, too, believe that this is a recycled interview, because some sentences are exactly the same. Also, I don´t think AJ would repeat sentences that aggravated people so much. And yet, there are new sentences in between - which would mean the magazine made them up? Do you have any facts about this presumed new interview (which sounds like the old one)?

    Kevin ought to know that particular article came from The Daily Mail, an effing British tabloid, and Brit tabs are worse than American ones.

    Kevin, I think you need to step down a bit from that high pulpit and be sure your source is actually solid if you’re gonna be citing that. It’s quite annoying that this same thing has been rehashed.

    And way to go Sherry.

  • sunshine
    Dec 14, 2007 at 3:55 pm

    To Sherry, you are absolutely correct that does make you a bad mother. Just because a baby is laid back, as you put it, does not mean that it does not to be touched and cuddled with. It is beyond words when I hear people talk openly about caring for one child moreso than another. they all came from you, and I do not care if one is a choir boy and the other talks throughout the choir, I will love them equally. But you have given me little insight on why you can identify with Angelina, because it allows you to justify your actions through her non parenting actions. Baby, let me tell you something, you need to consider getting another hero to idolize, seems as if her bad ways are not isolated. Time will tell you if that calm cool bab will not be affected by momies love. Also you may try readind the psychology book the developmental stages of Erikson, it talks about good turn out and bad turn out of children based on their very own personal interactions.

    The very first one is trust vs mistrust. Baby cries, if a baby needs are being met immediately then that baby will grow up to have a certain amount of trust to those around them.

  • mayka
    Dec 14, 2007 at 4:03 pm

    I did read somewhere about it being a recent interview. So assuming she did say those words, and in a more recent interview, I will agree that they were a poor choice of words, and she could have said in a different way because those words can so easily be taken out of context. HOWEVER, that aside, I personally don’t think her intention was to say to the whole wide world that she loves Madd, Pax and Z more than she could ever love Shi.

    She probably feels a bit more the need to compensate and feel more for the 3 kids because of the circumstances surrounding their birth, compared to Shi, but I don’t think it necessarily means she loves Shi any less.

    Accordingly, she herself said she makes sure that she does not ignore the needs of Shi simply because she feels the others are more vulnerable (does not equate to her saying that they’re more valuable or precious to her).

  • Sherry
    Dec 14, 2007 at 4:19 pm

    Sunshine, if you care to insult me personally, you can be banned.

    I never said I didn’t hold her. If you knew where to find me on the internet besides this site, you’d see pictures that show my youngest as a baby being held in my arms, being carried around in a sling or baby bjorn, with me all the time. What I was saying is that unlike my first born, she didn’t need to be constantly rocked or fussed over. She was more content with her surroundings whereas my oldest was colicky and hated being put down even long enough for me to park my butt on a toilet to pee.

    And you may be confused. I didn’t ignore my baby or abuse her or neglect her. Based on how attached she is to me at the age of two and the love she gives back to me with the same intensity that I give to her, I’d say I definitely didn’t neglect her.

    But you think you know me. It must be fun to hide behind a pretend name like sunshine (how ironic a name!) and insult me and my parenting when you don’t know me.

    You must be the world’s biggest saint in the world, congratulations to you, I’m sure you live the perfect life.

    Also? Don’t quote to me about a baby crying and needing to have needs met. My children - both of them - never cried as babies. The longest they would cry was the amount of time it took me to walk down the hall if I was still up. If I wasn’t up, then I was in bed in the same room as them. My oldest cried because of colic but not because I was ignoring her. I didn’t do cry it out.

    But again, it only shows that you come to this site and get all negative about everything but you? You know absolutely nothing about me. And I don’t need someone on the internet to tell me what kind of parent I am. I only need my kids and my husband telling me that they think I’m a great mom. Anyone else can worry about themselves.

    NO, SHE DID NOT. angie made the comments that she “feel more” for maddox and zahara very early in the year. the other comment they are attributing to her never happened. they just made that up because they know that people who do not like her willl believe. and they were so right.
    i am so tired about the continuing drama over this “feel more” for comment. she did not say she loved shiloh less than her other children. she said she feels more for them, meaning empathise more for them, sympathise with them because of
    how difficult their beginnings were in this life. “love” and “feel” have two very different meanings. and i know the detractors know this, but they use it to continue with their hatred for this woman. when will it end.
    someone said on JJ that all of this is because angie chooses to love ALL of her kids equally, with no difference between adopted and bio, and because these people who are raising this ruckus cannot imagine loving a child they did not give birth to, they think angie hates her shiloh. despite several interviews she has given to the contrary. please, can anyone really see angie using the expression “outcast” to describe ANYONE much less her daughter.

    Yes, tis the season supposed to be of love, peace & goodwill towards men (and women). It should be that the whole year around.

    But I don’t think that means we accept insults and abuse verbally and physically. We do have a responsibility to defend ourselves and those in our care who are vulnerable. That’s what Brad’s Make It Right is about, in an extreme case - that’s what Darfur is about, and Angie’s UNHCR & Global Action for Children.

    There are bullies in the world (a lot of them seem to be hiding out in the internet), there are evil people. Didn’t Jesus whip those money-lenders to drive them out of the temple?

    i am convinced they have been on a campaign to break up brad and angie, because somehow, that will bring honor to his ex-wife, and because it is not happening they are becoming more desperate and vicious. these people are beyond hateful.

    I actually agree with Sophia on the whole AJ-JA debacle. I’m not a fan of JA, and I do find her a tad uninteresting, but I don’t dislike her either. I think having the divide only heightens the hate/combat between the AJ and JA camps. At the same time, because I don’t care for JA (and even if I wind up disliking her), I don’t make snide remarks against her. It’s either spend 50% of my energy hating or spend it doing something positive.

    Sophia, I think cee and most of us on here are just tired with the constant toxic comments from allabouther. Again, Angie’s a big feature in this site. It’s still a part Angie blog site.

    Also, all of us here should consider this: even if the interview happened, it doesn’t mean it was transcribed accurately. That is, at the end of the day, it is still the editor and the writer who have the power to edit words (in their zine/paper) in a certain manner, take things out of context so as to rouse the public’s interest. And sure enough it is working. So, we should really be more wise about what we read. And again, the supposed interview came from The Daily Mail—it’s a tab.

  • Stacy...
    Dec 14, 2007 at 6:47 pm

    This isn’t even an interview and she never said the ‘outcast’ comment…the publication this came from is a british tabloid named ‘Look’ Magazine. They are notorious for making up ‘interviews’ and attributing them to the celebrity. The other stuff is taken from the Elle UK article that came out in February. She didn’t RE-ITERATE anything. This particular tabloid took words from other places and threw in a sentence or two of their own for their fan fiction. Simple as that. It’s funny though, with some of the other reputable positive interviews and articles that have come from overseas get very LITTLE play with those who like to criticize. Wonder why that is.

    P.S. ‘Look’ did the same thing in August this year about Jennifer Aniston meeting Shiloh at some restaurant. Her publicist (as always) came out and called bullshit on the story. The difference between then and now? Angelina doesn’t employ a publicist and obviously cares less about what the tabs write.

    About the remarks to Sherry that is kicking below the belt. I had 3 children, now all in their 40’s. My middle child kind of got lost in the shuffle. His older brother and younger sister required alot of attention for numerous reasons. And believe me he was always so happy just amusing himself. And he certainly has grown up to be a great human being, husband and father.

    Wow, people! Where are all these negativities coming from? Are you people so unhappy with yourselves, or downright envious? Just a nice, “way to go” will do. Sherry is just sharing the news of the distinction Forbes has bestowed on the unwitting Shiloh. (I dare you to misinterpret what I just wrote…isn’t that how some mind works…they’d think I mean Shiloh is dumb…when I simply meant she didn’t even ask for it, totally unconcious and innocent of her title).

    With all due respect, Kevin…you are a guy, am I right? So forgive me if I say, there is no way you will be able to relate nor can you be so self-righteous about Motherhood. And Sunshine…exactly how many kids have you brought into this world or raised? Because if you have at least more than one kid, you’ll know you can’t love all your kids the same because they are individuals with their own distinct personalities and needs.

    When I first read that article by Elle UK on Angelina I didn’t find it offensive. I understood where she was coming from. Maybe because I have a friend with a special child and she needed to remind herself to make sure she meets the need of her “normal” child as well. It’s no different really. It didn’t mean she loved one child less. Angie’s concern was valid since she had adopted first and didn’t seem sure in the first place if she should be a mom because of all the “darkness” in her in the past. Maddox gave her the confidence to become a Mom. Of course it’s not like I was there, but since Angie is so candid in her interviews (the legitimate ones like Vogue for instance and the one with James Lipton in Inside the Actor Studio) it was out of love for Brad that gave her the courage to try and get pregnant. And anyone who is a mom can relate to the surreal feeling of being a first time mom and being handed this “blob” for that first time. And by blob I’m pretty sure Angie meant that Shiloh was this little thing, guileless, innocent and still to be molded, and shaping her character.

    Sherry and Angie….for what it’s worth…God knows how hard it is to be a mother (biological or otherwise)…The only opinions that will matter, at the end of the day, are those of your children. Who cares if our children are the only ones who know that in spite of our shortcomings we are great mothers? Still, the proof is in those very kids themselves. The kind of adults they turn out to be will be testament enough. One thing for sure they won’t be posting ignorant remarks in any website….Peace!

    I don’t always believe magazines but I’m still quite disappointed in what she said. The fact that she is human, there could be some resentment towards this child. So she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and she looks like her father. What did she expect? That wasn’t Shiloh’s fault. If that bothered her so much she should have just kept adopting. I’m a great fan of this family, I too hope she just said the wrong thing. There are many hollywood stars that didn’t have good relationships with their mothers. Remember “mommy dearest”.

    Hey, can’t believe whats going on here. Its getting real personal. So please calm down and do NOT take any comment personal. It doesnot make sense to bring it on a personal level other then to get into an argument!!

    I think we are all Fans or at least respect Angie and Brad for their work. I fully agree with Mayka. I think Angie loves her children equaly. All words from interviews can be twisted and twisted so long untill you get out of them what you want, no one knows what she is thinking. But if you look on pictures of Angie the kids you see that she loves all of them. Thats what matters and not the words she said in an old interview.

    i really doubt this article is true -it’s from a british tabloid-unless you read the tabloids i guess you would believe it-shiloh has two parents and they owe no one on this board or any where else an explanation on how they raise their children or how they feel about them-there is NOTHING anyone can do to angie or brad about their children-enjoy the family like we all do,but remember none of us are related to this family-peace

    maryj, try not to be too disappointed. just read what mayka wrote up there. she makes a whole lot of sense. angelina did not say she doesn’t love shilo any less. i think if you really have to read into this so-called interview, angelina’s trying to relay that her love for all of them is equal. i think she’s just aware of what could have happened to the older children had she and brad not taken them in, after all, she has seen the dire conditions in their motherlands. so, there’s a whole lot of sympathy there, but at the same time, just because her other children are more vulnerable, it doesn’t mean her love for shiloh is reduced. i think that’s what mayaka’s trying to explain. each child has a different need and a different background, so, in a way, angelina almost has to mold herself into each one of her children’s situations and at the same time, be sure that each child gets her equal love and attention. it’s all about trying to find a balance. my friend has two children, a boy and a girl, and in some ways she does treat them differently, but she loves them both equally. i think in all, angie’s doing a fine job as a mother. besides, none of us are privy to their lives. we only hear and read things, but we’re not even close to being a fly on their wall. anyway, people shouldn’t just jump into every story you hear out there. how many magazines have claimed to have interviewed angie? and again, like i said, at the end of the day, it is the editor and writer who have the power to manipulate the words that we read, hence, shaping what we believe in.

    Dec 14, 2007 at 11:11 am

    “There is no such thing as perfection and for some reason people feel the need to compare her to it. It’s a losing comparison afterall she is only human.”

    If we can remember that AND that unless we see a taped interview with Ms. Jolie actually SPEAKING the words attributed to her, then we CANNOT hang our critique onto the printed word from TABLOIDS. Come on people….you should know better.

    Anyone who is a fan should take the time to do some research. You’ll find that these comments were not made to this magzine, rather it was a cut and paste job to sell more mags and make money. Which by the way is exactly what is being pointed out by the FORBES list.

    Does anyone really believe the latest TAB headline “Where is SHILOH?” Do we really believe that she is in a dungeon somewhere banished because she is somehow not “felt” for enough? Do we really believe that the previous bruhaha about Zee was because the media cared one iota about her true origins? And how do you explain Pax? Headline grabbers much!?

    Thank you Sherry for your kind insight to the meaning of the phrase “feel for”. Fans and Sherry, ignore the pseudo intellectuals who pretend that there is some objective rationale behind their critique……their intent is obvious.

    BTW, I ENJOY and get a HUGE kick out of seeing this family, but I fear this obsession with little children. I wish the fans here and of course the JP family a wonderful holiday season. Peace.

    I did a little more digging, and the British magazine that’s claiming to have scored the supposed interview is called Look magazine, the same magazine that claimed (more like fabricated) to have interviewed JA, in which JA supposedly revealed that Brad had taken Shiloh to meet her. There you go. Even JA was targeted by that tab. And of course, tabs have to stick together. The Daily Mail even picked it up. Again, please be careful and wise about what we read.

    Since the topic du jour is about the youngest Jolie-Pitt children, I thought I’d share this again: remember ALL the children are loved and WANTED. Love is like being a “little bit pregnant!” Either you are loved or you are not….there is no “less or more than!” JMHO.

    I was sad to see so much attention being paid to the children of celebrities. No wonder the parents are so worried about them. If people are that focused on their children it brings up the issue of how vulnerable they are and how important it is to keep them safe. I think we should adopt laws that protect children from this type of scrutiny. I believe Brad Pitt mentioned that in a recent interview.

    As for Angie’s comment…. well the controversy here is exactly what the media wants everyone to do…react. I think that is the purpose of these articles keep everyone stirred up and buying magazines. Sherry nailed it when she explained what she believed what Angie meant. Most of us would pay more attention to a special needs child for whatever reason rather then the one that doesn’t need us so much. Good for her (Angie) for realizing that and paying attention to make sure she doesn’t exclude Shiloh.

    Okay, I think this obsession with the kids is a little bit weird, but such is life.

    Everyone has personal issues that relate back to how they were raised. Angelina has said that she does not really trust anyone, even if her own mum would have done something to betray her.

    We could say: 1. they should not have got together because their lives will always be in the spotlight 2. she has a reputation as a man-stealer but now appears to have fallen totally and deeply in love with her soulmate 3. she will love those kids no matter what, to the best of her abilities, as we all do with our own.

    I am not an Angie fan. I respect her humanitarian efforts, but she is just another person, like everyone else.

    The gossip rags are just that and appear to be able to move copies due to enquriing minds!

    Her and Brad should just live their lives regardless, say very little about their family and maybe, one day, the world will be more focused on more important matters!

  • dianad1968

    neela, i remember when that tabloid story came out, and JA’s publicist came out with a denial that she had never given an interview to that magazine. why then can’t people figure out that if they lied once regarding this supposed “triangle” that the tabs insist on perpetuating, that they could lie again.

    and again, i ask the question, can you really see angie using the expression “outcast” to describe anyone much less her daughter, who she carried for nine months, and has said at the time of her birth, she just wanted to hear her cry.

    the problem a lot of the people who choose to believe this story are having is that they cannot understand how angie can love all of her children EQUALLY, because they could not love an adopted child as much as a biological child. but there are people who are capable of doing this, as we saw when larry king interviewed brad and quoted this man who said he had four children, two are adopted, he forgot which two.

    you know i fully believe that GOOD always wins over EVIL, and make no mistake what these tabloids are doing to this not perfect, but wonderful young woman, is an evil act. all of this hatred stems from the fact that brad divorced hsi wife for reasons none of us know, and chose to move on with his life with angie. i am sure he wishes JA the same for her life. it is more than time enough that all the naysayers do the same, and leave us fans of this couple to enjoy them and their work as we choose to. as brad recently stated, he thought all this would have ended a year ago.

    i cautioned in an earlier post that we had better be prepared for more of this kind of slander against angie, because she has had so many nominations for AMH. but i am sure we will continue to defend her vigorously. sorry for the long post. enjoy your saturday guys. will log on again later.

    This recent interview is a total fake. I know because i live here in England where this fake ass story originated from. It’s from look magazine and i read the whole thing in the supermarket for a laugh. This mag is a complete joke over here. The last angie story they had was that she and brad had split and angie went to the Australian premiere of A mighty heart during their trial seperation LOL. Those are the type of stories you get in look mag. They cannot even get an interview with c-list brit celebs let alone an interview with angelina. They have been torn into by so many celeb ’s reps for their made up stories. Angelina never ever said shiloh is an outcast and the feel for more comment is from elle last year. It’a a shame that even fans will believe something negative without checking the facts. Believe me this interview is the biggest load of rubbish i have ever read. National Enquirer is more reliable than this mag and that’s saying something.

    Shalom y paz, Pittwatchers! Time flies during the holidays, and it’s already the end of week 2 of the Make It Right/Pink Project. Today I read that $3.5 million of the $5 million to match Brad’s $5 million donation has been raised (http://www.thetowntalk.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071214/NEWS01/71214011). Awesome! That’s excellent news! That $3.5 million includes OUR donations – yay!

    The 1st week, 14 of us gave $2425 (!!!) + 5 gave unspecified amounts + 3 made pledges. Doesn’t it feel good? This 2nd week, Akishdebaba & Heather added $65 to our total = $2490 ($10 more dollars and we will have donated the equivalent of a roof solar panel to help cut 75% off energy bills for a lifetime). Actually, I’m sure we’re over $2500 because Ranch donated an unspecified amount. Thank you everyone – gracias, merci, salamat. Angelina & Brad & Maddox/Pax/Zahara/Shiloh would be so proud of us. The 10 houses paid for grew to 27! Celebrities who gave whole houses: Jimmy Buffett, Donna Karan, and the band Widespread Panic.

    If you’re a procrastinator like me, this might have slipped off your busy holiday agenda. I found this:

    Thanks that’s the clearest interpretation of what she originally said. IT is a very positive thing she said which encompassed the range of emotions she felt for ALL her children.

    There are people who want to believe the negative things, hence the pouncing “See she said that about her OWN daughter!! She’s not perfect.” It makes them feel better to point the finger at her, to try and destroy her.

    Anyone ever watched Fight Club??
    =The Narrator annihilates blondie in a fight. When asked why he said “I wanted to destroy something beautiful!”

    This is where the constant labelling of Angie as the embodiment of perfection is grounded. She has been set up to be hated by all insecure shiftless/directionless people…an easy target, it seems, for all that is wrong in their ’small’ worlds.
