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?"

Thought of the Day“When you see God’s hands in everything, it is easy to leave everything in God’s hands.” - Unknown GOOD EVENING TO EVERYONE!!

# 225 | just saying… first of all i went to google and typed in "angelina jolie is a ****" to see what you angie haters were saying… When did I EVER say i masturbated to angelina’s pictures? I am not fat i’m probably thinner, taller and better looking than you could ever be. Also nice to know you’re thinking of us angie fans naked umm can someone say pervert?

Hi. I’m new here..I’m a big fan of Brad and Angelina and I just wanted to say that although I feel sorry for Jon Voight, he brought all his troubles on himself. I don’t think the media is the right medium on which to talk about what should be PRIVATE family matters. I understand how Angie feels and I support her decision. And I don’t care what you say, if you truly cared about someone as much as Jon Voight claims to care about his grandchildren he should remember their names. He’s not too old to be able to memorize whole scripts, so why can’t he at least get his own granddaughter’s name right? Jon Voight abandoned Angie and her brother when they were little, she doesn’t owe him much, if anything.Finally, to all those X fans who say Angie is cold and whatnot for not talking to her father, remember Jennifer herself has cut off her mother, the woman who carried her inside her own body and gave her life. She isn’t the only celebrity who is feuding with a member of their own family (see Tori Spelling) so don’t use Angie’s relationship with her father to criticize her. It’s shallow and incredibly transparent, plus X has done the same thing!

(((((((FANFIC ALERT)))))))SHILOH JOLIE PITT PICTURES THREADKRISSY =)

# 194 | MEStop please, you’re embarrassing yourself….

Why doesn’t Jon Voight have a clause where no reporters interviewing him can mention Angelina, Brad or the children? This will cover him when he has a senior moment and will cover a reporter for creating an awkward moment for both. These clauses are done all the time. JV is going to be in a lot of big upcoming films. He’s gonna be interviewed. He better have that clause drawn up ASAP!

What an idoit he is, no wonder Angie wont talk to him hes a ******!!! there goes another 2 yrs of not talking to angelina and the kids!!!what a dumbass I cant help but laugh though

Good for Angelina, JV doesn’t deserve her pity or forgiveness. He was only hurting her.Angie has a lot of courage, my respect for her is growning every day.

just saying... @ 08/29/2006 at 10:05 pm

# 231 | Bee ——————-LOL…MEOW….SORRY KEEP YOUR CLAWS INSIDE DEAR…I QUOTED THE WRONG PERSON…LOL…IS YOU’VE BEEN THAT ME PERSON….LOL

# 238 | just saying…Ahaha alright.I was just a little thrown off.Well more than i little like alot.ANNNNNNNNNNYWAYS

OHH…POOR ANGIE : (Angie and Brad should keep this stupid man away from their kids.

Voight proved to the world why he is shut out from his daughter’s life. No amount of "pleading for contact on TV" can fool the public now. He revealed himself to be a complete liar and fake, who "cares about my daughter and her family"? Puleeze. He just wants PR–by mentioning Mad’s’ birthday he knew he would get into the news. Look how it back-fired. Thank goodness this came just after that art gallery incident, when some people started to feel sorry for him. His pathetic game is over; he finished it himself. Jolie didn’t even have to move a finger.

I feel totally livid reading this (and I can’t be bothered looking at the Video). There are some Angelina antifans who say that she is weird, crazy and will always be that way to them coz she cut herself, kissed her brother etc. But they also say, Angelina should forgive JV. So here is the paradox. Antifans cannot forget the things Angelina has done 5 or 6 years ago, things that hasn’t personally affected them or hurt them. But of course, Angelina should forgive JV for the ABANDONMENT, for his criticisms and lack of support for Angelina. If these antifans cant’ forget what some celebrity did, why should they expect Angelina to forgive what her father has actually done? Does the word HYPOCRITE fit these category of Antifans? In a word – YES.I don’t think Angelina will end up like JV. he left his children, Angelina hasn’t. he can’t stop talking. Angelina has learnt to use silence. JV left his wife for another woman. Angelina has never left her husband JLM or BBT for another man or woman. Looking at Angelina’s life since she separated from her father, she’s done pretty good. She’s working well, she’s got herself a family and Brad Pitt. She’s involved in causes she believes in. She’s not smoking, she’s not doing drugs, she’s not cutting herself, she’s not having affairs with married men, she’s not doing anything that is destructive to herself and her family. I think one of the reasons why she has been able to get her life together is because she stopped JV from messing around with her psyche. When you see your parent for what they really are, you stop trying to recreate the fantasy and start living the reality. I know coz I’ve been there.Now for the rebuttals:1) If JV CAN ABANDON HIS OWN CHILDREN, his own flesh and blood, because he obviously DID NOT LOVE THEM VERY MUCH, how much REAL LOVE can he actually feel for his grandchildren – especially for Maddox and Zahara? Please, don’t say you can love your child and dump them. That just doesn’t happen. When I look at my husband, or other fathers and see how much love and care they give to their children, I truly believe it takes a special sort of A**hole for a father to abandon his children. I don’t care what he says, his actions speak louder then his words. He abandoned his children. And now, he cannot remember Zahara’s name. think about it – Zahara, is one of the handful of human beings his daughter, Angelina loves more than anyone else in the world. 2) There is nothing strange about the name ZAHARA, it is very close to the word Sahara unless of course, you don’t know your geography. Otherwise, it is a very familiar name. I’ve been able to say the word since I was 10 y/o and learnt about the world’s LARGEST DESERT. 3) Antifans say that if JV can have a regular father son relationship with James Haven, then it must be Angelina’s fault that she can’t have a normal father daughter relationship with JV. I wonder just how “regular” the father son relationship is. If they are in regular contact, say twice a month, wouldn’t it be the most natural thing in the world for JV to ask his son each time they meet about his grandchildren?? “How are my grandkids?” And of course, James will probably say, ‘well Maddox is at school, Zahara is walking, Shiloh sleeping through the night” etc. And thus, wouldn’t JV hear Zahara’s name regularly and even if he doesn’t know his geography, wouldn’t he be able to remember the child’s name. Could it be that the father son relationship is about as regular as a blue moon? 4) Grandparents can’t remember grandchildren’s names. But, as someone said in an earlier post - JV can memorise the lines in his movies, he can’t memorise the name of ONE of THREE grandchildren? The very grandchildren he yearns to meet? Actors have to have good memories for words. It’s part of their jobs. He had 18 months to memorise a simple name - Zahara. And by the way, its not like he is old you know. He was born in 1938 which makes him 68 y/o. 5) JV is really trying to reach out to his daughter. This statement makes me laugh with cynicism. I make an effort to remember my friends children’s names even if I have never met them (as an expatriate who has moved around in the world, that happens to me quite a bit). Thats because I really care about my friends and by extension, the people they most love in the world. JV can’t be trying very hard if he cannot remember a simple name like Zahara.

Well if she named them half way normal names, maybe he would not have a hard time remembering them. Poor guy, I just feel sorry for him now. I mean how long ago was it that he said she was mentally unstable? And have we seen her do anything to prove she’s NOT? Jon, just forget about her, you’re alot better off!!!

That is such harsh criticism! What you’re saying is that every man with children who leaves an unhappy marriage DO NOT LOVE their children enough?! That’s ridiculous! One out of two marriages end in divorce in this country and you’re saying that HALF of those with children don’t love them if they leave? That’s just wrong! JV seems like a perfectly lovable guy who cared for his children through the years if pictures say anything, or are proof of caring, he seemed caring and loving in the pics of him and his children. He didn’t love his wife and divorced her but that happens and it seems Angelina cannot forgive that. I do agree he should have learned his grandchildren’s names by heart by now, but he has been denied access to them, and has never layed eyes on them. As a person ages memory plays tricks on a person and it’s not always easy to remember things. I’ve watched my own mother repeat things over she has already told me, and forget the simpliest things like the names of her OWN kids! Not totally but for a few forgetful minutes. Sadly age does diminish memory. I bet there are times you have forgotten someone’s name…. you won’t admit it here because it would weaken your case. But I bet you have, especially someone YOU HAVE NEVER even MET. Well, whatever, I think it’s cruel for Jolie to deny a relationship between her children and their Grandfather, because of her resentment and stubborness. Both the children and her Father will lose something precious they could have had, and possibly enriched their lives because of that relationship. It’s too bad she cannot forgive. It’s very sad.

The woman interviewing him on the red carpet bought up the subject of Angelina et al. Not Jon Voight. Which I thought was very odd - why bring up the subject of his estranged daughter on the red carpet!??

god! he abso;utely will never see his grandkids! angie did a good choice for keeping him apart from the kids! he will never be a good grandfather!! and why does he always do it publicly? doesn’t he know that angei hates that?? he keeps making more mistakes. i myself will naver give a chance for someone who obviously can ruin my life! even though it’s my own father!! he made just too much misatake! too much! like there’s no guarantee that he will be a better person for you. don’t blame angie, drew barrymore abandoned her dad as well becus he’s an *******.

lmao @ all those who defend JV. Seriously has this guy done anything that proves he is a loving father, let alone a loving grandpa? First he abandoned them and their mothers for other women and his career and according to himself as well he was not present or played major role in their lives and he regrets that. Now all of the sudden he’s a caring father?-Where was he when his daughter started to cut herself at age 14?-Where was he when his daughter started to take drugs?-Where was he when his daughter was a suicidal again as a TEEN?*And guess what we know ALL these facts about Angelina because she chose to be honest and open about her past and not because he helped her to overcome them.*-Why did he open his filthy mouth in front of the cameras when she was 25!! I don’t even understand the relation here.JV is more like a sperm donor who later in his life, after it was too late, had the audacity to demand a father role and she allowed him that. She spoke positively about him but the ass did not. He humiliated her publicly, he sent her an awful letter and he attempted to stop her from doing her first trip of UNHCR ALL with an already shaky relationship. What the hell do you expect her to do? Oh on top of that he was rude and cruel enough to criticize his ONLY daughter for the marriage break up of Brad even when Jennifer herself did not blame her. My God even if the whole world were against your daughter you should defend her specially when there is no prove whatsoever that she had an affair, till this moment there is no prove and yet he dissed her with the rest of lunatics!! He does not want to reconcile he wants to provoke her, to depress her even more and makes her broken from inside but all his attempts aren’t working since she shuts that door. And let’s face it she never been calmer, healthier and better person since their rift and that speaks volume about his impact.Why would she have a healthy and strong relationship with her mother and brother if she was cold-hearted? Why would she help others if she was cold-hearted? Don’t fool yourself you know that her dad doesn’t deserve to be in her life and that she has the RIGHT to protect her children from such abusive father. And let’s be honest here we ALL know that Jon wants to see Shiloh not "the other kids" as he referred to them previously or as of lately ‘Maddox and Shakira’.

I just read the latest life and style mag (posted by a jen fan at a brad message board..lol) The article is the normal bullshit, but it got me thinking …I honestly feel the aniston camp is behind these recent brad and jen stories(my opinion) Why? Right before the first life and sytle cover is released jen calls people magazine to deny a TABLOID story of a jen and vince engagement( I couldn’t understand why it was so important for aniston to make sure the public knew she wasn’t engaged…she talks to people to deny us weekly , but her normal mouthy publicist is now very quiet about stories of jen fathers heart problems, who in jens camp released that info to a tabloid? there was some truth to that story because a rep for days of our lives commented in the new life and style to say her father was fine and would return to work soon, I don’t know but something is not right, I find it strange that as soon as jen talks to people , all these "brad still love jen stories" "brads family hates angie stories" start to suddenly appear in tabloids worldwide, all the stories usually have one thing in common… "a friend of jen" "an aniston source" etc I wonder when brads esquire interview is coming out, I don’t know, ( me and my conspiracy theories" but it seems like something big is going to happen soon.

No person with common sense would blame AJ for cutting off the ties to JV. She needs maximum discretion from people around her, to protect her newly formed family. JV would blab away to the media if he had any info on her. Keep him as far away from you and your family, Angie. The people who really care about you approve your decision.

dumbassesall @ 08/30/2006 at 2:20 am

You people would approve of her decision if she started cutting herself again and even on her very kids, because everything she does is approved by you as right and good. You think beauty equals goodness, that by adopting a child makes a person a better person somehow, which is such wrong thinking. Beauty doesn’t mean anything at all except just something nice to look at, adopting is done by rotten and evil people as well as good people. She’s unforgiving and that makes a person miserable and it will reflect on her parenting at least you should be concerned about that, but you think you will have her approval somehow if you agree with her unhealthy attitudes. She doesn’t even know your alive.
