Jon Voight Loves Shakira

Jon Voight Loves Shakira

Angelina Jolie’s estranged father Jon Voight sent a shout out to his grandkids Saturday, but it seems like absence makes the memory grow weaker — he royally screwed up one of the names. At the fourth annual BAFTA Tea Party (BAFTA is the Oscars for Brits), Voight was talking with a reporter on the red carpet when he decided to send birthday wishes to Maddox, Angelina’s five-year-old child. That went well, but then things took an ugly turn. Voight also sent well-wishes to "Shakira" — problem is, he was talking about Angelina’s 1 1/2-year-old daughter. Shakira is considerably older — 29. The correct name — Zahara. Close, but no cigar.

HAHAHAHA.  What a terrible grandfather!! How could Jon Voight mistake SHAKIRA for ZAHARA?  HAHAHAHA. Not a good way to fall under the good grace’s of your daughter… Do yourself a favor and watch the hilarious clip!

"Happy birthday, Maddox! Five years old. That’s a big one. Five years old. You’re getting to be a young man. And I send my love to you and I send my love to, uh, Shakira and, uh, Sha-Sha-heera, is it Shee-ra, Shahira?"

Thanks for the laughs, Jared.OMG that is so funny. ROTFLMAO —-Shakira Zahara - not even close and he had a hard time saying Shiloh…OMG, thanks again for the laughs….Ok, I really have to go before the storm hits….

# 3

Leave him alone…he’s trying…that’s more than she’s willing to do. If he hasn’t even met the child, and let’s face it, it IS an unusual name, naturally he may not get it right, not to mention he was probably flustered and in a hurry to get his shout out in.

# 4

maybe if she actually let him visit the kids he would actually know their names.

No wonder, why Angie can’t stand his ass! He will NEVER see his grandchildren……

Maybe Jokie could show a little decency and forgive her father while he can still remember her name. Dementia is a cruel illness and he’s no spring chicken. And I agree with the poster who said at least he’s trying.

oh my! it sucks to be jon voight. it sucks big, salty, hairy ones to be jon voight. thank God it wasn’t a joke! i hope he’s not going senile.

# 9

No wonder she won’t let you see her children, you *******! JV sucks monkey balls.

Boston Babe @ 08/29/2006 at 12:33 pm

Thank GOD Angelina doesn’t let this man near her children. Look at him. What an a**hole. He has got to be drunk. He’s slurring his words. He doesn’t care about Angelina, her children or his own son because if he did he’d STOP IT! Stop embarrassing himself and the other’s by association.Good riddence to him. Angelina you made the right choice!

The Real Lou @ 08/29/2006 at 12:39 pm

John Voight is quite sad!How could you not know your Grandkids name?

I totally agree with #3. It’s like remembering MY kids names…and he doesn’t even know me…just as he doesn’t know her children. She should let him see those kids. She’ll totally regret that one day.

Passing Through @ 08/29/2006 at 12:41 pm

Way to to, Jon. Nothing like re-enforcing Angie’s negative opinion of you. It almost makes me wonder if he did it deliberately.

No excuses for Jon Voight.We never met the kids but the whole world can pronounce Zahara and Shiloh.Besides he has no business trying to suck up again to the freakin press. Give it up Man! Angie and Brad should keep this man away from their kids.

You know something about Jon Voight just doesn’t pass the sniff test. There is something really fishy about him and his quest to bring up Angelina & the kids everytime a camera or recorder is rolling.

jeeeeezzzz……what a sad thing! if its trully in his heart, he would never forget the kids name! What a shame..

That man being her father certainly explains how A become what she is. Not exactly family values..

jeeeeezzzz……what a sad thing! if its trully in his heart, he would never forget the kids name! What a shame.. # 16 | phoenixxDon’t be so unfair. My mother now sometimes forgets MY name and I talk to every day so you can’t speak for what is in somebody else’s heart.Besides it’s not like Jolie has ever let him see the children. She has had such a love/hate relationship with her father over the years and I seriously doubt Jolie has ever had a totally healthy relationship with anybody.

Just finished reading this article — of course I am not saying I believe everything I read.(BANG) - Angelina Jolie reportedly upset Brad Pitt’s mother by drinking at son Maddox’s fifth birthday party.Brad’s family flew in from Missouri to visit granddaughter Shiloh Nouvel but allegedly left early because they were unhappy with her behaviour.Angelina is said to have barely acknowledged Brad’s family and upset his mother, Jane, by having an open bar.Neither of Brad’s parents drink and they didn’t approve of Angelina drinking around her and Brad’s children and the other youngsters at the party.A source told Star magazine: "They were the only ones not drinking and it was uncomfortable for them. To Jane, drinking is unhealthy."Things were very tense that weekend, and they left with an even worse impression of Angelina than before. They think she is tactless and doesn’t consider other people’s feelings."Pitt’s parents allegedly cut their trip short after just two days.

jeeeeezzzz……what a sad thing! if its trully in his heart, he would never forget the kids name! What a shame.. # 16 | phoenixxDon’t be so unfair. My mother now sometimes forgets MY name and I talk to every day so you can’t speak for what is in somebody else’s heart.Besides it’s not like Jolie has ever let him see the children.

The poor guy @ 08/29/2006 at 1:04 pm

I don’t even know this man and I feel so bad for him. I mean he is trying so hard and Angelina should really try to forgive him. How can she go preaching around the globe & not forgive her own father, she should be ashamed.

#14 gigithats exactly what i was thinking almost everyone else in the world knows how to say Zahara and Shiloh. maybe its because hes getting old i know my grandpa has a hard time with some words but he studders he doesnt get the name completely wrong. and a man who uses the media to try and rebuild his relationship with his daughter is not a man you should want in your childrens lives.

#19fr. news-leader.comDespite what the current issue of Star Magazine says, Brad Pitt is not building a house in his family’s neighborhood — or anywhere else in Springfield, says his brother, Doug Pitt. The house they picture as Brad’s is not even owned by the family."I’m upset, no question," says Doug Pitt. "It’s absolutely garbage. There is not one bit of truth to this one.""And all this animosity stuff is crap," says Doug Pitt, referring to the story’s report that his family isn’t happy with Angelina Jolie, mother of Brad’s baby, Shiloh, and the couple’s adopted children.

Okay how come he is always using the press to speak about Angelina and the children. Something seems so insincere about that. and how long ago was Maddox’s birthday. He could have sent wishes days ago. Give me a break.Stop pimping the press Mr. Voight.

the real tita @ 08/29/2006 at 1:21 pm

You know, I think he is really trying now. It’s probably just nerves. I know of a lot of grandparents who can’t say their grandkids’ names right too and even if you correct them time and again, they still get confused. I say if he keeps up and tries without whoring it up for the media, he’s close to being forgiven by Angelina.He just has to prove his sincerity. That’s all that Angelina is asking for, I think. And for those that are relishing the estrangement between father and daughter just so they could stick it into Angelina…what a douche you are!

OMG LMAO! what an ass! Maybe he’s going senile…he is really old. Maybe Angelina should forgive him before he completely loses his memory and mind.

paganlynn @ 08/29/2006 at 1:27 pm

lol you dumbass fools making fun of him for being drunk, your precious angelina is a ******* alchaholic too morons. So simpleminded with this nations crack/herion addiction rampage some drunk old dude is the lease of our problems. Get a life!

OMG… this man is something else….

# 27 | paganlynn | Stop getting your info from the tabs….

Why did he wait so long to give Maddox a birthday greeting? Had he ever sent one before? Oh yeah I get it he had the attention of the cameras but knew no one would give a rats butt about him if he didn’t some way work the Jolie-Pitts into the conversationJon Voight is pathetic

The title "JV snobs Angie" is wrong. He said hi to the kids and the parents. I hope the whole thing gets resolved outside of the press. You can’t have the whole world judging your family.

on purpose @ 08/29/2006 at 1:38 pm

He did this on purpose, hes an actor, he was gettin back at her….he did it for jennifer aniston………….how funny…….he knows his daughter is weird and all these babies came so fast……..only a self absored number #1 bamz fan would know all these weird names and pronunciations……..he sounded like he was making fun of b/a/m/z/s…………

Well first that video is hilarious. Second why does he do this stuff on national tv. Has he ever heard of just sending the kid a card or something no need to go on national tv messing up your grand kids name and third hasn’t that child birth day been passed. Grandpa voight is slipping on the med dosages again.

AddictedtoBAMZs @ 08/29/2006 at 1:41 pm

Ouch. #14 is right, we have never met the kids but we still would know their names. Sure, we are obsessed with them, but shouldn’t their grandpa be also? I had a feeling for an instant that he did it on purpose to "make a point", and if he did, I pity the fool, as Mr. T used to say. However, I also watched it one more time, and I honestly think he was trying, but just simply doesn’t have what it takes to connect with family. As far as being senile, jeez, I don’t think he’s THAT old, guys! Isn’t he around 65 or so?Paganlynn…judging from your post, we have problems with manners and spelling as well…

LIKE FATHER LIKE DAUGHTER………..TWO PEAS IN A POD……………….HAHA….EVEN JARED SAID HES AN IDIOT

NYCGalnVA @ 08/29/2006 at 1:51 pm

It just amazes me how much the media is driving this story of the Jolie/Voight rift. Because Brad & Angelina have kept their mouths shut and say nothing, the mags & the entertainment shows stoop to questioning her Dad about things they KNOW he knows nothing about. Just to get a sound bite about Brad & Angelina. On the other hand, I have to agree that Angelina is right to keep her kids away from Jon Voight. If he had any REAL interest in healing the rift, outside of publicity, he would say "no comment" whenever someone points a mic in his face on all those red carpets events he attends. He hasn’t learned a thing!I also take the media to task because according to them, Angelina must be theonly celeb that is on the outs with a parent. What about Sarah Michelle Gellar who cut off her Dad too! He died a few years ago, and they never made up…..Kate Hudson acknowledges Kurt Russell as her father, and even pissed off her real dad by naming her son after Kurt….But Gellar’s dad is dead, and Hudson is not as famous as Jon Voight for the media to sniff around them!I’m sure there are other stars that don’t talk to a parent. In their rush to get ANY MORSEL of info about Brad & Angelina, they are using….USING….Jon Voight…..but he’s not smart enough to realize it…or maybe he realizes that Angelina will NEVER let him back into her life and is using the rift to keep his name out there!

Polly Anna @ 08/29/2006 at 1:54 pm

I’ll bet Grandpa Voight would have no problem remembering Baby Zahara’s name if he got to spend time with her. There are all sorts of people in our lovely world. Let he/she who is without sin cast the first stone. I hope Grandpa Voight and Baby Angelina rekindle their relationship and experience love for each other like they have never known before. Sometimes folks fall down. I like helping them up rather than kicking them in the head. I would love to see a picture where Mr. Voight is holding his Baby Angelina while she is in turn is holding her babies. Kind of like a Pieta. Joy to the world!

Jon Voight is one big ewwwww, I am glad that Angelina going on and living her life and loving her kids

Hips don't lie @ 08/29/2006 at 1:56 pm

I think it’s sad that everytime there is a thread related to Angelina or Brad the "non fans" have to come out of the woodwork and write junville comments over and over again. I don’t read tabs like Star magazine, Life and style magazine, it is just a waste of time. But for people believe the stories that come out of star more power to you. I actually like to read Newsweek because believe or not there’s more important issues going on besides celebrity gossip. Voight doesn’t know his grandchild’s name ? Oh well too bad for him.

when will JV stop communicating with his daughter through the press; have you learned nothing from the yrs of isolation? angie will never have a relationship with you as long as her mother is alive. She made the effort and you let her down. she would see it as being disloyal to her mother to let you back into her life at this point. JV you are making your true colours come through every time you open your mouth. Every body in the world knows these children’s names, why don’t you, think about it

I agree with you #38. Too much of JV/Angie’s news all of a sudden. Brad and Angie are not talking to the press so they go to JV.

#32yes and i guess you are a self absorbed bamz fan since you can obviously remember their names too.#38i totally agree with you even jennifer aniston had problems with her mom i think but no ones going to mention that.

I think he should stop trying, for his own dignity. Problem is that he may have too much sentiment and not enough "level-headedness".As to her, this seems to be a situation which reminds one of the saying "charity begins at home." She seems to be so much full of love and compassion for the world, it perhaps is a little strange that she can’t find enough a compassion for her own dad to let him see the grandchildren. Of course, report says she says she’s ignornig him for her mother’s sake. But that seems like taking sides. Besides, how vulnerable the mother could still be at this point of her divorced life. And people do divorce for whatever reasons and they get over pretty quick, it seems to me.

Actually, I feel bad for Jon Voight–he’s getting old and probably losing some of his marbles. Zahara is not exactly an easy name to remember and old people get confused, particularly since he was never ALLOWED TO SEE HER! He’s still trying to reach out though so I give him some credit for that.

was he drunk? or does he have some type of ailment?

alovingdaughter @ 08/29/2006 at 2:41 pm

#37 you are spreading lies about Jon Voight! All you said is YOUR fantasy once again. Why do you always type in all caps? You give your demented self away! JV has done charity work for children his entire life! Children of all races! Angie most probably has followed his example that he set for her. He has devoted his life to it, and hasn’t made a big deal about it like his daughter has however. You should be ashamed telling lies about someone when you know NOTHING about his life!! He is a very decent person and Angie most probably has some emotional resentment towards him and she needs help with those issues if she is to ever be a decent parent herself. JV continues to extend his hand to her and she slaps it away. At least he trys over and over. She is unforgiving. How can she pat herself on the back for her charity when charity will always START AT HOME with your own family and she shows none! She should be ashamed.

Jon Voight is beginning to get on my nerves. Has he not done enough damage to Angelina? He really is an excuse for a human being.How come he never talks about his son who doesn’t speak to him either, Oh.. I forgot, he is not as famous as Angie and will not get him in the media.As for the ignorant, sanctimonious people here saying she should forgive him. She forgave him once, got him a job on Tomb Raider, and how did he repay her by going on national TV saying his daughter had mental issues, and that statement has dogged her to this day, because the stupid, non thinking tabloid reader uses that support their hate spewing towards Angie and the kids, after all her dad said she is mental.As bad a dad as Jon Voight was/is, Angie has never blamed her behaviour on issues with her dad, she has owned up to her behaviour without pointing the finger of blame at anyone, even though Jon Voight has a lot to be blamed for the difficult time she had growing up.When is this man going to stop hurting Angie. Ever since she has cut him off, she seems to have been making all the right choices for her life and her children, why does he want wreck this serenity she has in her life right now with his impetous behaviour. And for all the people blaming Angelina, what is new. You will excuse Jennifer for not talking to the woman who raised her for ten years, but blame Angelina for cutting off the man that abandoned her and family, tried to derail her adoption of Maddox and tried to put a stop to her taking her trips with UNCHR. John Voight should grow up. He made his choices as an adult by abandoning his children, Angie does not owe him anything, and I am more convinced than ever that she should not let him near her children.For those of you blaming her, GO TO HELL.

IMO, he needs to just tick to ‘No Comment’. He really should stop engaging these reporters when they ask about his daughter. She obviously doesn’t want him to speak about her in the press (kinda where he got into trouble to begin with). Bottom line, he should kept all his private stuff between her, him, and their family. Going on that tab show and crying to the masses a few years back was moronic.As for Angelina to I can’t relate to whatever happened with her dad as I have a great relationship with mine…he’s always been there. I am hopeful that down the line she able to at least have a conversation with him. Only because regardless of what she says, I think she still loves him a lot. I respect her decision to not speak to him though because there is obviously quite a lot that happened between them the public is not aware of.

LOLOLOL……… OMG……… WELL, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT??? BRANGELINA PIX A NAME LIKE "ZAHARA" WHICH SOUNDS AND LOOKS LIKE THE NAME FROM THE "SAHARA" DESERT. AND HE NEVER GETS TO SEE HIS GRANDKIDS! HOW DOES ANGELINA EXPECT HER FATHER TO ACCEPT HER KIDS UNLESS SHE ALLOWS HIM TO SEE THEM. GRANTED HE IS THE WORST FATHER, BUT ATLEAST ALLOW HIM TO SEE THE KIDS. MAYBE THIS IS WHAT PISSED OFF ANGELINA. THE FACT THAT HE NEVER REQUESTED TO SEE ZAHARA AFTER SHE WAS ADOPTED. AND THAT HE ONLY CARED TO GET TO KNOW SHILOH IS BIOLOGICAL GRANDKID AND PROBABLY NEVER DID THAT WITH MADDOX. I’VE MET JON IN HOLLYWOOD A COUPLE TIMES, AND HE SEEMS LIKE A REAL ASS AND A RASCIST (UNLESS YOU’RE SOME POPULAR CELEB). JEEZ! FORGETTING ZAHARA’S NAME. THAT MUST BE EMBARASSING FOR ANGELINA. BUT IT’S HER FAULT ANYWAY. SHE NEVER ALLOWS HIM TO SEE HER KIDS. ANYWAY, ANGELINA HAS SOMEWHAT OF THE RIGHT IDEA TO NOT EVER SPEAK TO HER FATHER AGAIN, AS I HAVE PARENTS THAT I DON’T SPEAK TO ANYMORE EITHER FOR CERTAIN REASONS. BUT ATLEAST ALLOW HIM TO SEE HIS BIOLOGICAL GRANDKID, FOR CHRIST SAKE. EVEN IF IT’S JUST FOR ONE DAY OF THEIR LIVES. I THINK ANGELINA IS A BIT TOO COLD-HEARTED.

Alexanderina @ 08/29/2006 at 2:51 pm

I just think he is a jackass. I don’t think Angie and Brad will let him near their kids anytime soon or if ever, how can you not know your own granddaughter name, it just shows me how little he care about this kids; and please don’t bring that **** about if he was spending time with Zahara or the rest of the grandkids, then he would’ve have known her name, that is a cop-out, there is no excuse to forget the name of your grandbaby. Shame, shame on JV.

NYCGalnVA @ 08/29/2006 at 2:55 pm

Zahara is not exactly an easy name to remember and old people get confused, particularly since he was never ALLOWED TO SEE HER! He’s still trying to reach out though so I give him some credit for that. ***********************************It has been almost five years since this Jolie/Voight rift began. When on the red carpet, Angelina does not mention him…..why can’t Jon Voight do the same?? Has he no dignity, or gotten any wisdom in his later years. After year two of the rift, if I were him and serious about HEALING things, I would have sought out help from her brother James, or Angie’s mother. Jon could have paved the way with help from his son James and his ex wife, whom Angelina holds in high reguard, but he went to the media instead in the worst and most humilating way! And he is still doing it, years later. He is feeding off the media, and the media is feeding off this sad situation because it adds another element to the so-called "triangle", and sells more rags. Yes, Zahara is a hard name to remember….so is Shakira…..but he remembered that name. It has nothing to do with his seeing the kids to remember their names…..he has to back things up with SINCERE actions, which he has not yet done.Yes # 46, he should stop trying, in public, for his own dignity, and when he REALLY wants to heal the rift.

It ’s harder for older people to remember names especially of children they have never seen. Maybe if his unforgiving daughter would let him visit his own grandchildren he would remember. JV is an accomplished actor with an academy award and many golden globes of his own. He doesn’t need jolie’s help by any means. He has a relationship with his son also. Why do you all pretend to know so much about him when you know nothing about his life? Give the man a break at least he’s trying. He divorced her Mother and fooled around on her, but what did Jolie do? The SAME, Pitt was a married man! I would think her mother would be over it by now!

Lifes to freakin short……angelina should let them see him for a few dinners or a visit., supervised by her and her clan……….lifes to short………you have to forgive if you want jesus to forgive you…..hes tryin shes not…….she has movie star fits" as brad put it" Miss high and all mighty Jolie is still learning lessons in life………

#52 hmmmmmmmm…..JV a racist?????? That so makes me laugh… seeing how he had a intimate relationship for quite some time with DIANA ROSS! You dumb ass.

# 50 | Indie ….all right sister….i agree totally with you….JV is such a louse mouth….i never read, heard him talk about his other child James only Angie….coz talking about Angie makes him visible to the public eye….if he really wants to reconcile with his daughter, he shouldn’t tell the whole world about it…..it’s between him and her not between him, her and everyone….so JV, grow balls okay and think appropriately with your age….you are making me eeeeewwwwwwwwww!!!!

To Mary #55 you are full of it.You said :"Why do you all pretend to know so much about him when you know nothing about his life? "Yet in the next breath , you seem to have alot of knowledge regarding pitt and jolie Did they have an affair? Please tell me where you got this info from? In Touch? US Weekly? Star? National Enquirer? Why the double standard?

JV is a funny guy.Don’t hate him but I will say that we…none fo us are truly aware of what really went on between Angelina and her father. It was more than just this back and forth bickering. There had to be a climax that the world was not witness. So I’d say cut them both a little slack. Who knows what went on and what it will take to mend that rift. One can only hope that it happens soon for all their sakes. I don’t really think that JV mispronounciation of Zee’s name was intentional, he’s just being himself, he’s always been goofy like that. He can barely remember Angelina and James’ names. He speaks through the media because Angelina WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT speak to him. She has shut the door to that path of her life. While we may not agree that the media is the best form of comunication, it is one of the very few options Mr. Voight has…that and Marcheline who relays messages some times.forgive any typos…

#50 Indie GREAT POST, I WANT TO REPOST IT!!Jon Voight is beginning to get on my nerves. Has he not done enough damage to Angelina?

AMEN I COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER!!!!!!!

She IS Mental @ 08/29/2006 at 3:13 pm

Jon Voight just called it like I already saw it. I don’t think she’s mental because he said so–but because she acted so. C’mon. You’ve all seen her in action. I wrote her off becuase I don’t care about her–but her father who loves her just begged her to get help.

I agree that he must not be very sincere when he can’t even remember or try to say the names right. They are English alphabets, and he is not that old to be unable to say those names correctly if he really trys. I think he’s there for publicity and his own ego.Maybe she just have sense enough not to bother with him. But still, isn’t there a way they can arrange to have him see the kids even once! Maybe with him, the consequence would be major… but still, he wants to see the little kids, and he is their grandfather.

another observer @ 08/29/2006 at 3:23 pm

My father has forgotten my children’s names and I forgive him for that. He’s older, they are just babies, and he hasn’t been around them very often as we live far away from him. I know he cares about them, loves them, and that’s all that matters. I see Voight despertly trying and Jolie is unforgiving, which makes a person miserable in the end. She is only hurting herself, and her children denying them a relationship with JV as I’ve heard he is a wonderful loving man. Too bad for her, may God forgive her.

OH please #59 everyone in the World knows they had an affair! Where have you been? That’s laughable!

# 64 | another observer May God forgive you and your sanctimonious attitude. JV can memorize whole scripts but can’t remember the names of all 3 grandchildren he desperately claims to want to have a relationship with. I call BS. Angelina is not only protecting herself but her children from a man who has time and time hurt his family. He has abused all chances given and imo doesn’t deserve another.

AddictedtoBAMZs @ 08/29/2006 at 3:28 pm

#55, Mary…GOTCHA! Sad is absolutely right(#59)…you are in no position to state that Brad and Angie "fooled around" (I’ve always hated that term because it makes cheating sound like fun, which it is not). YOU were not there, so you do not know, just as you say others don’t know what happened in Voight’s life.

Don’t like him and never will. He really needs to learn how to stay quiet and quit exploiting his daughter’s and her kids’ lives. He shows absolutley no sincerity at all. Me thinks JV has the same problem JA has. Both are attention-seekers.

And I hope to see you moralistic peabrains on J. Maniston threads since she cut off her own mother and on Kate Hudson’s who cut off her own biological father. He has NEVER met her son Ryder and has been on tv begging for a reunion.

If Jon Voight CARED for the kids, he would remember their names - PERIOD!If he can remember his acting lines, he sure can remember Zahara!! - NO excuses

Speaking of unforgiving daughters… I know some… not my own, though. They can be very very unforgiving and righteous! They think they and their mother are all on the right side and victims, and the father is the only one to blame for a divorce.

She is only hurting herself, and her children denying them a relationship with JV as I’ve heard he is a wonderful loving man. Too bad for her, may God forgive her. # 64 | another observer |God has already forgiven her and blessed her with a good man and three wonderful children, a good and loving mother and brother because she forgave Jon Voight a long time ago, she just does not want him in her life. He will just wreck the peace she has found.Stop with your hypocricy because you could care less about Jon Voight or Angelina’s children. It is just an excuse to criticize her. Two faced ******* like you are quite annoying. You should be the one asking for God’s forgiveness for your hatred and insincere attitude.

Feel so sorry for him. Quite naturally, he want’s so desperately to know his grandchildren, which is his right! Angie needs to get over it!

AddictedtoBAMZs @ 08/29/2006 at 3:39 pm

Mary, #65, you are not right just because you believe you are. People who are fans of Brad and Angelina are not just fans because we like their looks or their acting ability. We like who they are as human beings more than any other factor. They are both honest and open, they are NOT known for lying OR for cheating in any of their relationships in the past, and they both have said very convincingly that they did not have an affair. So no, everyone in the World absolutely does not "know" they did, just because you decided they did. Hmmphh.

# 74 | mmyers No, its not his right and he needs to realize that at this point he has not earned the privilege of having a relationship with Brad & Angie’s kids.

I feel truly sorry for this aging man and the situation he is in. His daughter won’t even cross paths with him at an art photo show or give him a glimpse at his grandchildren. It has led posters here and at other sites to speculate that there is more going on than merely a few ill chosen, but fairly accurate, words about his daughter in public. Tarring him with the image of incest in the mind of the public is a cruel and irresponsible thing to do if it is not true. Angelina should stop being a child and publicly reconcile with her father. This does not mean that they have to be real close again privately.

Bulletproof @ 08/29/2006 at 3:44 pm

OMG!!!!!!!!!!Now I see why Angelina doesnt want him in her life. He’s a jerk!And you know what else? I think he KNEW exactly the name of Zahara and he did it on purpose. He said her name correctly afterwards so he knew her name Zahara.

Alexanderina @ 08/29/2006 at 3:44 pm

Stop with your hypocricy because you could care less about Jon Voight or Angelina’s children. It is just an excuse to criticize her. Two faced ******* like you are quite annoying. You should be the one asking for God’s forgiveness for your hatred and insincere attitude. # 72 | Indie |————————————————–You NAILED it right on the head, these haters don’t care about JV or the kids, they hate Angelina and want bash at every chance they get, so all these talk about she should forgive him and let him see the kids is bullshit.

Feel so sorry for him. Quite naturally, he want’s so desperately to know his grandchildren, which is his right! Angie needs to get over it! # 74 | mmyers |What grandchildren are you talking about? Maddox - the one whose adoption process Jon Voight put into jeopardy?Zahara- Who didn’t acknowledge when she was adopted and now can’t remember her name?Or is it Shiloh- Whose birth he exploited to paint himself as this loving grandfather? After Shiloh’s birth, he went on to say how wonderful he felt to be a grandfather!!! NEWSFLASH: Maddox is five! And now that Shiloh is born, he suddenly wants to tell everyone how he feels like a granfather? Uggghhhhh!!!The man is sick!And you know what if he has the "right" to see his grandchildren …….then Angelina definitely has the "right" to decide as mother of those three kids to decide if she wants that man around her kids.He might be the grandfather, (even though he doesn’t act like one) but ANGELINA IS THE MOTHER OF THOSE THREE KIDS!!!!! And that’s something all of you should remember before you start defending the "rights" of Jon Voight.

Alexanderina @ 08/29/2006 at 3:49 pm

Angelina should stop being a child and publicly reconcile with her father. This does not mean that they have to be real close again privately. # 77 | TapTap |————————————————–Why should she reconcile with his publicly, its none of the public damn business what is going on between her and her father; and if she don’t want a reconciliation with him, then its her right not too. JV should stop talking to the public about Angelina. She don’t talk about him, but every freaking chance he gets he is talking about her, he needs to learn to say “no comments” when someone ask his about her or the kids.

# 81 | Bla The only real ***** is you but you probably already know that.

COLD HARD MATH @ 08/29/2006 at 3:54 pm

Not knowing his grandaughter’s name? As Molly Ringwald said in SIXTEEN CANDLES: Grandparents live for this ****!

The fact that Voight can’t shut up aboug Angelina Jolie and continues to pretend there is some ongoing connection and potential future interaction just reminds her why she cut him off. I know - in the same situation with a relative I cut off. They can’t stand it, won’t shut up about it - it’s been years. I hardly think of them, but if they run into anyone who knows us both - all she talks about is ME. Good luck to Jon Voight. I doubt he is ever invited to be a part of the Jolie-Pitt family.

#81 BLA,,,,,,very well said !!! and so very true.!!!!gr8 job…….making a long story short with facts……..forgive………………….ya damn selfish man stealing, heroine using, drinking, cuttin g, sharin blood, covered in tattos….my god ………,she is mental

Some people here post some really pathetic ****!!! Give this man a break, My grandmother who is the same age as him calls me 10diffrent names before she actually gets it right. And I see her almost every day, much less this man who has never met these kids. He’s just old, we’ll all get there some day too. As far as angie and him, I’m sure he’s not perfect and neither is she. I was taught to forgive but I guess Angie is kind but doesn’t believe in God. I wonder what her actions teaches her kids, lets just hope angie and brad walk a perfect line since her kids are being taught to ban those they think are not good to them including Parents. And if they split, well Brad kiss your kids Good-bye!!

# 81 | Bla | Make up your mind! You say that by showing Zahara, Angelina was an attention *****. But if she really was an attention *****, then showing Shiloh would be the ultimate golden ticket. But has she shown Shi aside from those People pictures? Nope! So why call her an attention *****?And why call her a psychopath just because she wouldn’t reconcile with her dad? So the X is a psychopath too because she wouldn’t reconcile with her mom? Freakin’ double standards!You are just a hater who would tear into Angelina for every little thing.

what goes around comes around. her children will be doing the same to her in 15 years, wait and see. so sad to be unforgiving.

So much for being a humanitarian. Miss Angelina doesn’t have enough heart and strength to reconcile with her own dad. She truly is a psychopath.Btw, we are waiting for you to show off Shiloh on Madison Ave (just the way you did with Zahara, attention *****) # 81 | Bla |She forgave him one too many times. He was the adult, it was his job to take care of her, he reneged on that responsibility. Thank God she is being there for her children the way Jon Voight wasn’t for her. If she chooses to show of Shiloh in Madison Avenue- it is her choice. If she is a psychopath, it is Jon Voight’s fault. She was abandoned by him time and time again. So if you must blame somebody as you will, blame Voight for not being man enough to be a parent to his children. Anybody can make a baby but not every body can be a dad.

# 89 | maxYou’re right what goes around comes around. That means all the love she gives her children will come back tenfold. Angelina and her children deserve to be happy.

I don’t think the lives of the Jolie-Pitt family will lose anything much without Jon Voight. I remember that well-known psychologist with the TV program-he’s dead now-telling one of his callers "If your parent is the source of your pain, why don’t you get yourself away from it?".Many people live with "should" and "must" ruling their lives, and consider child-parent estrangement something to be avoided at all costs. The cold hard truth is though that many parents and many children are just people too-and very hurtful. In these cases the healthy thing to do is get away from the source of hurt.Many people prefer to live with a problem and complain about it . Other people prefer to eliminate the problem-it seems to me that’s the sane thing to do.

Some people here post some really pathetic ****!!! Give this man a break, My grandmother who is the same age as him calls me 10diffrent names before she actually gets it right. And I see her almost every day, much less this man who has never met these kids. He’s just old, we’ll all get there some day too.

Grandparents do have legal rights now. He could take her to court for refusing to let her see those kids. It’s been done before and the Grandparents have won visitation rights! Although it may not be right in certain cases, I think he could win this. He’s been banned because he said she needed mental help. She does! Anyone who cuts on themselves to feel needs major help from professionals, which she NeVEr got! Wow what an ego that witch has!

what goes around comes around. her children will be doing the same to her in 15 years, wait and see. so sad to be unforgiving. # 89 | max |If what goes around comes around, that will be wonderful for Angie. She has been a wonderful, supportive daughter to her mother, a wonder sister to her brother and a loving nuturing mother to her children. In the next 15 years, her children will be grateful that they have such a wonderful, loving mother who is involved in their lives. When Maddox and Zahara see what fate could have befallen them if Angie had not adopted them, they will be thankful that she had a heart big enough to go outside her comfort zone to adopt them and open up her heart and home.No matter how hard you try, you can never diminsh or belittle Angelina as a mother. Her children will love her for the exceptional mother and human being that she is.

FYI: JV will be 68, this December. Still that’s no excuse. JMHO…….

When is JV stopping to make a clown out of himself? He looks like a nice man, until he opens his mouth. He doesn’t have to comment on his estranged daughter’s life, everytime he is asked. The paps know how crazy he is, that’s why they keep putting him on the spot. All he needs to do is to smile and move on, like other actors do in the same kind of situation.

Watch Angelina Jolie slip and fall when she goes down a step:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE7FvOxocYk&NR

tsk tsk tsk

wow….these ******* jealous freaks are here again…..judgemental moralistic hypocrites….look at yourself first ******* before you criticize angie….what a full of buffons these ******* are….pretending to side with JV….hey *******, jealous freaks….we got your numbers….moralistic hypocrites all!!!

Aw, i feel so bad for him. He’s an old man, he forgets. I know my grandfather goes through all of my cousin’s names before finally arriving at my own. I think people should cut him some slack, he is trying. Its not his fault he’s never met his grandkids. poor guy.

All you peope that have nothing to say but garbage can all shove it where the sun dont shine. Unbelieveable. She is two faced. She likes to preach about forgivness. Really? Angelina said that? Stop trying to twist her words against her. Stop acting like everyone and their mother is a victim of Angelina. I’m sure we all
