Aaaaawwww! Cute baby boy!Congratulations to Rachel and Darren!
Finally I’m first. I love Rachel and "The Constant Gardner" was one of the best movies I saw last year so I’m very happy she got an Oscar and a beautiful baby boy. She looks super happy and should make a great mom.
Aww, he’s adorable.
Sorry but Shiloh is kinda homely compared to Henry and Kingston. What a cutie.
Absolutelly beautiful baby! I wish the Aronofsky family all the best! :)
Angie haters are always around. Newborns are always so precious.
one of the most credible actresses out there in hollywood. i enjoyed her performances in every film i so far saw of her. i wish her and her family all the best and a very happy, healthy life!!!
THAT is how you work your family into the media. Very admirable that Darren and Rachel didn’t feel the need to put a price on Henry’s head. Well done you two. The more overrated ’stars’ and their flock of kids should take a leaf out of your book
# 8 | Miss Realistic I hope you wrote the same thing in Gwen Stefan’s thread. She was paid $500,000 for pictures of Kingston. Anyone know what she and Gavin did with the money? How about Brooke Shields?
So just to summarize, the ONLY celebrity baby "born" recently that nobody has yet to see is Suri Cruise, right? Hmmm
# 9 | MRealisticblows Don’t forget the money Gwyneth got for pictures of Moses?
what a happy family!!! and the baby is gorgeous!!! :-)
i personally dont give a damn about suri, im sure she might be ugly and cruise is waiting for her to look better or finding a cuter baby than shiloh to present her as suri..so, Eff surii saw this pics before jared posted them here, and OMG!!! he is so pretty!! i hope he hooks up with shiloh!! kudos to darren who is one of the most amazing directors of our time..and i loved rachel in about a boyBTW Jared, you are missing the post about prison break shooting today!!!i need my wnetworth fix!
What a cute family! They looks so happy and normal!!! How refreshing. Rachel, keep doing whatever you’re doing because you look great!
# 4 | Yes I said It Just had to get one in huh?Henry is a cuti pie. ALL OF THESE BABIES are simply adorable.
Another playmate for Shi
# 8 | Miss Realistic And you think that all of these people showing off their offspring did it for FREE?Before you go off spouting crap you know nothing about. Do a little research and find out just how much these people were paid. AND THEY WERE PAID!!!! Just because the PUBLIC demand (tabloid sales) edged BP and AJ to the top of the fold with a 4+ million dollar offer doesn’t imply that those same ‘over rated’ stars as you call them sought that. If the public demanded that Rachel and her little family be on every tab of the week than guess what? they too would have been offered a large amount. Did you talk this much trash when Britney posed with her child, Gwyneth with hers, Brooke with hers, or Malonia Trump? Did you spout crap when Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones were paid 1 million for their wedding picks? Why do you feel the need to turn something good into a battle against BP/AJ or any other celeb who shines in the lime light? Most of these celebs gave the money to CHARITY! DO YOU GIVE A DIME TO CHARITY? Or do you just sit behind a monitor and pass judgment?Can you answer that?
Maybe Rachel and Darren didn’t feel the need to put a price on their baby’s head because they didn’t need to? They are not much in demand in terms of media coverage or attention. Besides they are still posing for official photos with the baby. I don’t see how it can be considered more or less different than other celebrity couples who release baby photos to the public regardless of how much it was sold for.
#8, Miss Realistic…The issue isn’t about feeling the need to put a price on their child’s head, it is about supply and demand. This couple is still able to enjoy a peaceful and civilized life, no adoration-driven hysteria putting a price on Henry’s head. Brad and Angelina are a different story, yet they did not accept money for any reason other than to benefit children through a charitable contribution. Come on. You know that. As for Gwen and others, I doubt they aren’t following that lead. I am sure they, too, are contributing. This baby, the Trump baby, and all others are equally adorable. I think the photographers got more flattering angles and poses for the other babies than those published of Shiloh. I felt they selected the least flattering shots of her. Either her gums were showing, her little lip was curled up, her tiny face was cut in half (when looking over Jolie’s shoulder ) to emphasize her ears and give her a Yoda-like appearance, or her tongue was pushed forward! But there were several, especially the shot with Brad looking down at her and cradling her head, where she looks gorgeous. Congratulations to all these lucky parents!~
I think they just sit behind a monitor and pass judgement…it’s easier to pass judgement on other people’s lives than it is to look at your own and see where you f**ked up
and I agree with Sara…plus, many celebs donate to charities and don’t ask for recognition…maybe that’s what happened with some of these other people who sold their baby pics…you don’t know the whole story, so shut up unless you do…and did anyone notice how Brad and Angelina told everyone that would listen what they were doing with the money, instead of just quietly passing it along…why did they feel the need to make such a huge spectacle out of it? Why do they need the publicity…so they can continue making us believe that they care so deeply for others while they sit in their huge mansion with their nannies and butlers and housekeepers and chefs, etc?
All these beautiful baby’s being born into the world. I love it……now where’s Suri?jpf
# 4 | Yes I said It Why must all these children be compared? Why can’t we just welcome them into the world, and pray they have a blessed life filled with love, and caring? I doubt very seriously all these parents are now or were ever concerned with what the media decided the public she be concerned with.There *I* said it.jpf
Oh lighten up people…don’t worry you can still worship the ground (and apparently water) that Brad and Angelina walk on…It’s called an opinion, we all have them.
this is most beautiful baby in the world, more Shiloh "Messiah" Jolie- Pitt, more kingston, more sean preston ecc ecc. Good luck at the family and the baby. Rachel is the best actress, her oscar is deserved.
Mrs realistic, As talented as RW is, she is not sought after by the pap. Just look at the cover of People for this year’s Oscar. They had Jen Aniston, Reese, Jen Lo, and George Clooney on. The following week, in their readers’ mail, someone wrote: "Excuse me, but what did JA and JL win, for you to put them on the cover, instead of Rachel Weiz and PS hoffman?". So, no demand, no money, very sad. So don’t blame Brad and Angelina, blame the tabs.
Oh Christ. Another flame war.Can’t we all just say ‘cute baby, Rachel looks great, Aaron looks happy’ and leave it at that?Big fat word to ‘Yes I Said It’.
Congratulations Rachel and Darren. Your baby is adorable.
Congrats to Darren & Rachel..their baby is cute!
That is a beautiful baby. Mum and dad look deliriously happy. Was it a cold day in NYC when the pics were taken? RW is a GREAT actress.
the more these celeb’ babies show up on magazine covers (all of them are lovely to my eyes & congrats to the respective proud parents), the less i believe that suri cruise actually exists…

Mz. Realistic (who is not realistic)Would you rather see some scumbag paparazzi get the 5 million? That five million dollars given to a third world children’s charity will do a lot of good. Brad and Angelina are being hounded unceasingly. They cannot turn around with out paps staking them out. Reports have stated that there are at least five boats out in the pacific ocean with lenses trained on their house. Why shouldn’t a third world country benefit from the pictures? Why should they let them go for free or even worse let a scumsucking pap get them?
What a sweetie is teensy Henry! The pic with Rachel kissing his tiny head, he looks so content! Adore Rachel Weisz! What a classy, talented lady. He hubby looks like a very kind sweet man, too.
# 21 | Kyah Please stop blathering on about mansions and bragging to the press about the donation and where the donations went….The press has been following Angelina for quite some time now this didn’t just start. Whenever she makes a donation either the recepients announce it or the media. You know why they tell people about the donantions? BECAUSE THEY ARE PROMOTING AWARENESS!!!! Had you even heard of Namibia before AJ /BP decided to move their family there for 2 months? Probably not, but as one person was quoted as saying "Thank you Angelina and Brad, because of you geographically challenged teenagers everywhere NOW KNOW WHERE NAMIBIA IS." That is why they speak out. How aware were you about the number of displaced Refugees that inhabit this planet? Did you care? Do you care? THAT’S WHY THEY SPEAK OUT! It amazes me that all while they were there, all people seem to care about were what they were wearing, what Brad did with HIS children, or how skinny Angelina was. You complained about their bodyguards. WHICH WOULDN’T have been neccessary if the paparxzzi hadn’t been hounding them in full force. You attacked them when their security took action against he media, AS IF the paparazzi has a right to intefere in their lives. You whined about the money they spent to stay at the lodge…not realizing that the money was paid to NAMIBIANS who needed the boost to their economy. The money that BP/ AJ sunk into the economy allowed some of those Namibians to feed their families. Or do you care about that? Of course not..hunger doesn’t seem to be a problem for you. As you have time to use a computer in order to criticize those who are trying to help the less fortunate. You took the time to pass judgement on these two, YET YOU COMPLETELY IGNORED THE MESSAGE THAT THEY WERE SENDING OUT ABOUT NAMIBIA AND ITS PEOPLE. HOW DIM WITTED, UNCARING AND COLD ARE YOU? OR DOESN’T THE REAL ISSUE HERE MATTER TO YOU?
# 35 | Andy How dare you!Rachel and angelina are both well respected and Oscar winners. Angelina has proved herself time and again to be a versatile actress. Rachel is just as talented, but sweetie don’t kid yourself in thinking Rachel is a bigger, better or more respected draw than Angelina. You wanna take poll…why not ask:Colin PowellCondoleezza RiceSenator ClintonFormer President ClintonKoffee Anon President: Hamid Karzai (Afghanistan)President: Pervez Musharraf (Pakistan)Queen Nor (of Jordan)Sam Nujoma (Pesident of Namibia)President Bush (I hope you at least know who he is)Let’s poll these people and see how respected Angelina is.
WHERE IS SURI?
Congratulation Rachel and Darren your son Henry Chance Aronofsky is beautiful.
Jesus, can’t anyone talk about a celebrity baby without mentioning Angelina? What is with this obsession?Henry is cute. :)
How old is Henry?? All I have to say is WOW, Rachel looks FANTASTIC!
thank you #36 & #37!!
erg got caught up in the pic-price deal.. forgot to say congrats to Rachel & Darren!! What a beautiful family :)
Erin:Henry was born May 31.
1. People magazine Editor said on the TODAY show that they didn’t pay even 3 millions for the pictures.2.ALL celebs get money for putting their baby in magazines3. Rachel will get paid if her baby is in a magazine, also she isn’t in High Demand like other celebs4. Every baby looks better then Shiloh to the Angie and Brad haters. also how can you compare babies when they basically look the sameThat Said, Rachel son is cute, but he looks like Blueball, Kingston, Moses, Shiloh, Grier..small, pale, and like a newborn.
The baby is cute like the rest of Celeb babies. Why Do people feel the need to personally attack Shiloh because the media makes a big deal out of her parents. I think it’s gutter level to do that, also how you accurately compare newborns, when they basically look the same and haven’t even grown into their looks. Let me guess.. next Jack Black son is going to be cuter then Shiloh, and we haven’t even seen him, but it doesn’t matter because WE HATE BRANGELINA….
Rachel acts circles round Angelina. Angelina plays the same role hardly worth raving about
Andy, What is the meaning of "*****" as you have used it? Other than a truly crude and derogatory reference to a woman? Both actresses are unmarried to the father of their babies at this time, if that is the situation you are intending to comment on, although there is actually some speculation that Miss Jolie and Mr. Pitt are married, while we know Rachel is still a fiance’. You’re a jerk, by the way, and it felt good to say so. Yuck.
MissRealistic…drop the Angelina vs. Rachel …..in a Rachel and her family thread. Iam sure ANY actress is better then Angelina simply because you don’t like her. So you rants go into a circle of " This person is better then Angelina" or " This baby is cuter then Angelina’s". Why are you obess with Angelina.
It’s the same people who come into every thread to spread hate about Angelina…so maybe we should just ignore them.Jennifer fanatics is what I call them. I think Andy is Miss Realistic.
Rachel acts circles round Angelina. Angelina plays the same role hardly worth raving about # 47 | Miss Realistic ***********************Re, Angelina and Rachel — not to compare, but I could definitely see Angie doing a good job in the role that Rachel played, but no way could Rachel have played ‘Lisa’ in GI. But they’re both wonderful women, and congrats to all. By the way - last time I looked, they BOTH have Oscars, and both have newborn babies…something that Chin doesn’t.So it’s all GOOOOOD.heh. ;-)
Cliniqua proves my point about the Angie and Brad worshippers—*******Re, Angelina and Rachel — not to compare, but…*****Why are you comparing????????? hmmmmm. I smell a double standard.
# 36 | Proof Wonderful, and informative post "for those who choose to BE informed." So much is like casting pearls before swine because so many would rather think/believe/speak the worse than see the real and talk about what’s postive.jpf
why do people always bring up angelina stick with the topic also the baby is so cute!
This is so sad,some of you hate to the point that you just can’t help bringing up Angelina at every turn.Shiloh is a beautiful baby and Henry is a beautiful baby as well.
oh my god. what the hell is wrong with you all. all babies are cute and innocent. I’m scared for the world that these kids are born into if these are the kind of people that are out in the world. Ignorant, judgemental, and disgusting. Some of you are absolutely sick!!!!————————————–Rachel looks very happy and her hubby does too. The baby is cute. Congrats to the new parents.
"Go to hell Angelina! You *****!"# 58 | Boxer Whoa, your extreme hatred for Angelina is somewhat creepy. If charitable organizations you claim to volunteer for knew how hateful your heart can be, I would hope they would think twice about letting you continue to help them. You’ll want to tell me to shut up too, but you should also tell yourself that. Henry is adorable!
This baby is sooooo adorable. The yllok so happy. I agree with people above about the despicable Jolie…pimping out her little baby girl. NO donation ever goes unannounced for her…even a measly $300k which she gave to the hospitals. Loves the media tatention too much.Congrats Rachel and Darren!
# 59 | Boxer You’re so pathetic you had to copy and paste your hateful post again after it was originally deleted. You again said: "But I don’t support her or her causes." Thus, if Angelina was to support the cause for all children of the world to get a chance at education, you would not support that just because she does? That’s sad and even more pathetic than your rant.
Jared, you really rock!!!Thank you for deleting that inflammatory post from "Boxer" who calls Angelina all these vile names and wish her all sorts of harm. I am all for freedom of speech but these people get so carried away, it can be so creepy.By the way, congratulations to Rachel and Darren on oh-so-cute Henry. I always liked Rachel in About a Boy and in the Mummy movies.
"YET YOU COMPLETELY IGNORED THE MESSAGE THAT THEY WERE SENDING OUT ABOUT NAMIBIA AND ITS PEOPLE…..UNCARING AND COLD ARE YOU?"I have news for you Proof, nobody gives a KRAP for Angelina, her babies and her causes. In fact she’s probably doing these refugees and these poor naitons a disfavor by representing them. There have been celebs doing humanitarian work for decades. Yet, you choose pretty Angelina over anyone else who has done JUST AS MUCH if not more. Angelina, beautiful as she is, that’s all I see to her. The rest of it is nothing but pure publicity and hype. She has always used some form of outlet to use for hype and media and publicity. i don’t care how much humanitarian work she does, she’s a big hypocrite in my book. I don’t like her. She’s only good to look at and read about like it is to watch a clown do a juggling act. You want to see what’s her next move. But I don’t support her or her causes. And I ALWAYS give money for numerous causes and have volunteered my time for them as well. Angelina is no more special. she just brags about it so she can make herself into the only angel on this planet. While there are many others working harder than she is to do some great causes. and besides, I don’t agree with some of her ways of handling things. She needs to think things through before she does them. What a bunch of liars you are! I never threatened her! You’re the creepy ones! Here’s what your Angelina will look like as an old lady:http://www.ajolie.org/gallery/displayimage.php?album=213&pos=4Now, that’s creepy! She doesn’t even look her age!
Besides, this thread is about Rachel, Darren and Henry. There are plenty of Angelina/Brad threads — why not post there?
Because Briseis, those nasty people harass others on Angelina blogs. They are verbally abusive towards innocent civilians who were given the right to read and comment about a particular celeb on a celeb blog. I pay part of Angelina’s salary. I gave her my monetary support in the past. I can comment negatively towards her if I want to. I don’t harass other bloggers. I don’t have the time to read a bunch of angry people yelling at me through a blog. Why should I put up with that when Jared gives you space to respond to a celeb photo and their persona! I ignore those degrading responses to my blog. If someone has a distaste for a public figure, of which they gave their money to support the celeb’s income in the past, they should have right to comment on that celeb, especially if they feel this celeb is in the wrong, whether true or not.AND I was responding to someone’s post on THIS blog.
#63 Boxer,You need mental help!
OH, SHUT UP! # 56 | Boxer | thanks for proving my point boxer. like i said. you are disgusting and ignorant.
Rachel is a beautiful actress-She wore wonderful maternity clothes and was the epitome of style while pregnant-much like Heidi Klum-Having a baby is a beautiful experience and there are no audible words to describe the instant love you feel for that new person. All through life no matter how old that kid gets, a mother’s love is always there. My favorite book to read to my kids is called Love YOU Forever by Robert Munsch-The main idea is I love you foreverI’ll Like you for alwaysAs long as I’m livingMy baby you’ll beIf any of the posters who are being nasty and hateful to Angelina are moms-Go look at your kid when your kid is sleeping and just think-Marcheline feels the exact same way about her kid as you feel about yours-We don’t know how long we are given to be with our kids-Some of us are diagnosed with cancer while our kids are babies, some of our babies die of cancer before they can even talk-but no matter what-we are loved and so are theycongrats to Rachel and Darren
#66 - malibumom - GREAT POST!
You mean Andy as Miss Realistic…So Andy’s gay? right?
Henry is a beautifull baby, Rachel and her hubby are lucky to have this beautiful and healty baby. I like his name simple and down heart, not how Shiloh "Messiah", Grier, Suri ecc ecc. I wish the best for Henry and the parents.
What the hell!? what’s the matter with you people!even here!there are hundreds of thread about angelina and brad here evrybodys knows that im so sick and tired of people bringing their names (but they say they hate them!so ******* hypocrite!)in every thread even though ITS NOT ABOUT THEM (they can’t get them out of their heads!)as if they are the only celebs! and for god sake stop comparing babies they are all cute no matter what!awwww Congrats Rachel and to your husband for a healthy baby boy henry! soo cute
is this also a ******* baby? they aren’t married yet. so she is just a baby momma.
The real lou, helena and creepy proved my point! You sit there getting fat abusing other posters. You’re the ones who need mental help. You abuse any poster who’s post you don’t like. WELL, TOO BAD! You can verbally abuse me all you want. You’re not tough enough to fight me in person, I gaurantee you that! Jared Eng should put a block on chics like you.And secondly, "hehe", I WAS RESPONDING TO A POSTER, that’s why Jolie came up! YOU stop responding if you don’t like it so much!
Oooo, so cute! They look like such a happy family. :)
Boxer, as if you’re not sitting here getting fat too spreading your hate. You are the abusive one, even mentioning about a physical fight. I doubt any of us want to see you in person anyways.I love Rachel and Henry is a beautiful baby.
The baby looks really cute. I like the name Henry Chance. I wish there was a picture of the dad holding the son. Thanks jared.There are some angry people in here like Boxer and rac. It’s okay, calm down now. This thread his about THIS baby, not anyone else. Anyways, cute baby.
Talk about anger and hatred. If one person says something about your Jolie that is the TRUTH, you start to LIE about their post. There’s no anger form my side. Maybe you need to calm down and go back to your Angelina blog and abuse posters over there. Spending 24 hours a day here, posting under different names, is your hobby, not mine. And stop spreading false accusations around, you liars. Angelina fans are such avid liars. It’s psychotic. You’re the ones filled with anger. You start abusing a poster for stating their opinion. You say I hate. Okay, so why don’;t you let me hate. It’s called Freedom of Speech. I don’t start bothering you about your comments on other celebs. Yet alot of you abuse other celebs on this board. You just don’t want people to know how much Jolie is hated. Cause, like you said, she’s hated. LOL, you keep attacking me and other posters, and they always come back hating on Jolie, not you. Cause we don’t care about you.By the way, if you’re planning on some more useless, waste of life insults and comebacks, I’ll be sleeping and no one will really care except yourselves. Have fun entertaining yourselves. I don’t read blogs insulting other bloggers. You just harass anyone who has an opinion you don’t like. Have fun lurking around harassing Jolie haters. They’ll be many more to come and on many other websites. Jolie needs mental help like her neurotic fans anyway.
Henry is a beauty, but then, he WOULD be! Rachel is gorgeous!My own Henry is going to be 6 next week! :( Enjoy it, Rachel & Darren!
shiloh is more BEAUTIFUL because the sexy momma lips and their chin! and she has more pretty factions that is a fact!
# 76 | Boxer |———————-A real hater to the core.
Henry? Wow, a Normal Celebrity Baby Name!
Well "boxer" first of all im posting here coz i love rachel and this is her BABY THREAD and just like i said before YOU know that there are many BA fans in this blog also lurking in other thread its easy to read in this 80 posts whose the one starting to say some things that make them mad im not a fan but i don’t think they give a **** if i said that "rachel needs mental help"!since your the one whose responding to them why don’t you go in their thread
Jeez, Boxer, what the hell is your problem?You are totally obsessed with hate for an actress you don’t even know, and why? Because she is beautiful AND does charity work, and is praised for it. Hmmm…… Jealousy is a sin, so clean up your act before you start calling anyone else names. Don’t be calling others liars when you have brought such negativity to a thread about a BABY that isn’t even the baby of the person you can’t stop talking about! You are so obsessed with Angelina you are going off on her when she isn’t even the topid of discussion. You can’t get her out of your mind!For pete’s sake, this is a thread about RACHEL WEISZ and her adorable new baby. This is one classy actress, talented, beautiful, and she looked awesome at the Academy Awards accepting her well-deserved accolade for A Constant Gardener, so poised and articulate and graceful, exuding her intelligence and elegance. I hope she does a lot more work. Can anyone say what her husband has been involved in? Someone said they were a fan of his, but I’m not familiar with him.
Such a sweet adorable little baby! Rachel will be a great mom im sure. And look at her! She doesnt even have tummy bulge or after baby bloat! Lucky!:)
# 61 | Boxer Boxer…You’re pathetic.
Henry is really the most beautifull baby in the world. Rachel Darren and Henry are a family adorable. You can feel real love from their,no how many celebrities around. Thanks jj for the pics. I hope that you post more pics from Rachel and her adorable Henry. He ’s so precious. Best wishes at Rachel and her precious Henry and Darren
I cannot believe in the pages of comments have have been posted about these pics of the Aronofsky family that NOT ONE PERSON has commented about the political-like statement that these two are trying to make. Hasn’t anyone noticed that they are posed on the observation deck of the WTC!? Not ONE person noticed that!? Personally I find the pose quite tacky. Obviously Rachel and Darren are highly educated, classy individuals, but what would make them think it is apporpriate to pose for the first pics of their baby, making a social statement? Anyone…..
You know what guys? I’m sorry, but when I read all of this, I think you all really need to get a life! You treat these celebs like they are objects and not real people. Would you want people looking over YOUR shoulder all of the time and taking pictures of you at the beach during private time with your family? Looking back at Princess Diana, for example, people think it was the paparazzi that finally did her in, right? Well, by you looking at these pictures, you are contributing to that industry! You support the death of Princess Diana, for example! Do you know why Brad and Angelina had Namibia block the country off to the media? Because they didn’t want interference! If you respect them as people, then why do you have to go and look at private photos. Do you think these people are living for you?? Selfish bunch, you are.
