Brad Pitt And The Skipper Too
Brad Pitt rode the “Red Hooker” and enjoyed a beer and ciggy stick in the Virgin Islands earlier this week, on break from filming The Case of Benjamin Button co-starting Cate Blanchett. More pictures of baby Zahara playing on the beach with her nanny and bodyguard after the jump!
Here are some select quotes from Angelina Jolie’s interview with Elle UK:
- On looking for the right somebody: “I wanted was to find somebody who, first and foremost, was a great father, because I was already a parent.”
- On Brad being amazing: “We came together because we’re similar. He’s a really amazing father - he didn’t just become that around me. He’s a thoughtful, intelligent man.”
- On Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh: “The world has this opinion about the difference, then you wonder if there is a difference. In fact I found the opposite. I think I feel so much more for Madd and Zee because they’re survivors, they came through so much. In some way they’re strangers because they had this life before me. Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born, I have less inclination to feel for her. I have to do the opposite from what I expected! I met my other kids when they were six months, they came with a personality. A newborn really is this… blob! But now she’s starting to have a personality. The three of them are very funny together, very loud and in each other’s faces. She’s grown up with Zee screaming in her face in the morning! But, yes, I’m conscious that I have to make sure I don’t ignore her needs, just because I think the others are more vulnerable.”
- On the kids rebelling one day: “We were trying to figure out how because we shoot guns in movies, we have motorbikes and planes, and mummy’s covered in tattoos. All that’s left for them to do is to become Mormons.”

did you read youtube msgs??????????????
Angelina gave a sanctioned interview with Vogue in which her comments were the opposite of what’s in the Elle UK version. The Phillipine interview is from her Photocall press for TGS. All reporters heard the same thing. I also find it very odd that the writer said she interviewed Angelina alone. Holly ALWAYS goes to Angelina’s interviews whether it’s Diane Sawyer or Ann Curry. Holly is there as her assistant. All of a sudden in the chaos that was India no one was there? She put that in there so it would be one person’s word against the other.

yes, Did you ever get ANy of mine? see my email adress ^^^^^ #72? I just got soo frustrated!!
People please educate yourselves before you blow things out of proportion. The quote about Shiloh was taken out of context. This is what the Elle article says:
So Angelina clearly loves her two older children, but did she worry she’d feel differently about her biological child? People often seem surprised that she and Maddox are so close, she says. “The world has this opinion about the difference, then you wonder if there is a difference. In fact I found the opposite. I think I feel so much more for Madd and Zee because they’re survivors, they came through so much. In some way they’re strangers because they had this life before me. Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born, I have less inclination to feel for her. I have to do the opposite from what I expected! I met my other kids when they were six months, they came with a personality. A newborn really is this…”
“Blob?” I suggest as she pauses.
“Yes, a blob! But now she’s starting to have a personality. The three of them are very funny together, very loud and in each other’s faces. She’s grown up with Zee screaming in her face in the morning! But, yes, I’m conscious that I have to make sure I don’t ignore her needs, just because I think the others are more vulnerable.”
SO PLEASE STOP THE HATE AND NONSENSE AND STOP BLOWING THE MISQUOTE OUT OF PROPORTION!!!
Thanks, now back to lurker mode.
BYE BYE Missouri Fan, nice lady!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Usually when she does printed interviews she’s alone. The interviews you mention were on tv.
DON’T BUY ELLE!!! The interview is a FAKE, the cover is a FAKE!!!
Suddenly all the haters are here….jenny (supposedly a fan & now saying Angie’s a *****)…lucy, Mary, sad & now the ultimate hater…Sarah. Some all come saying they are a fan & just for an interview that is no based facts they are all crying & saying names about Angelina.
The haters are waiting for this comments all along. So Sandra or whatever your names is go back to the Jen thread since she is not doing anything because if Anuston made a bit of mistake she’ll be front news & I am sure Huvane & her Circle of friends are now protecting her & doing no cooments to avoid more embarassment for the Maniston.
Good afternoon - I suppose there will many ideas about the comment that Angie made about Shiloh. She was just being honest with her feelings and that sometimes get people all riled up. Quite obviously she has different “feelings” for each one of her children, as they are all unique little individuals with different backgrounds, even at their young age.
For the love of G.O.D. She loves her kids beyond life itself, as does their Daddy, so do we have to debate every word that she utters, and dissect her feelings?
Look at the time and energy that her and Brad have put into making their family be a family. They are both there for the kids and each other.
Being a fan of Brad’s first, I always wanted him to have the children that he desperately wanted. When I look at that man when he is around his family, he looks so loving and almost vulnerable in such a handsome way. Angie has made this possible for him to be able to raise children and have his own family.
It’s a great debate, no doubt, and will probably go on for a couple of days, but for the intelligent fans, we all know what she meant….
Peace.
Alex: Loved the quote provided about the supermarket. I am going later today and will hold up the line gawking at the tabs.

You make good points but I don’t think it will matter to some here. It sounds like to me that some who said that they are fans of BAMZS are not so much fans of the A in that name.
MISSOURI FAN!
ok i’ll vote for angelina too :)!!
ISABELLE II!
THE LAST ONE I RECEIVED IS WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE WEATHER LOL!no more!i gave u the wy to send!
and why are u frustrated??
What she most likely meant on her comment about Shiloh is that while every one of her children is special to her in different ways (and she obviously loves them ALL to death) Shiloh was automatically born into a privileged life whereas the others weren’t, so she she feels for them for that fact that they survived adversities where as Shiloh hasn’t. That doesnt mean she loves Shiloh any less. She just doesnt have EMPATHY for her (meaning she doesnt feel for her situation) like she has EMPATHY for the others and the struggles they had to overcome. If people didn’t realize that’s what she meant, and not that she’s loves or favors Shiloh less, then they’re are true idiots…Fans or not..

Thank you very much for posting the entire paragraphs. I am so surprised that even fans are so willing to just read the quote taken out of context and judge Angelina — even saying that they no longer admire her or like her. WTF? If a simple quote that might not even be true can so easily turn you against her, then maybe you are not a fan after all. I have not been a long-time Angelina fan (I was more of a Brad fanatic) but even I read and re-read her interviews and make sure that I don’t just jump to conclusions. And I don’t bemoan the fact that she’s so honest and thus can often be misunderstood. I don’t want to muzzle her and tell her to shut up, because then she would no longer be Angelina Jolie. Even Brad told her to be as honest as she had always been (per Vogue interview).
Whether this interview and some of the comments in it are authentic we will never really know, that being said I wanted to add my two cents. That particular comment about Shiloh I didn’t interpret it as Angie not LOVING her as much as her older siblings. Clearly, she seems to be referring to empathy. For me, it was about Shiloh NEVER having to face the actual situation of life or death. She was indeed born into a life of opportuntiy and wealth by virtue of who her parents are which is something Madd and Z wouldn’t have otherwise had if they remained in their orpanages. Also, in the fact that they will face different kinds of discrimination because they are of a different race. I do think however, to a few others people’s points, Angie has to be careful about not making these facts be the basis of believing that Shiloh isn’t going to also face some unique challenges as she grows, because she will. Her issues obviously won’t be that of survival as was the case for Madd and Z but the superficial expectations that people are going to have on her (and honestly already do). What she’s going to look like…how beautiful she’ll have to be coming from two of the more attractive people in the world…constantly having a camera in her face and people gawking at her. And let’s not even talk about if she grows up and decides to pursue a career as an actress! Angelina and Brad are going to have to make her strong and love her up in a different way than will be necessary for Madd and Z.
Bottom line, I do believe she loves all of her children equally, alebit differently. And that is probably the case with every parent you meet that has more than one child. This comment from this article (if it actually came from her) being interpreted as anything other than that is wrong, IMO.
I am inclined to believe that there was a part missing from the interview. For instance,
the theme for that paragraph is “her relationship with her children” and yet the answer does not really speak to the theme. Do you understand what I am saying? Its like she gave an answer to a follow up question the interviewer asked, but the interviewer neglected to put that question in the interview.
If the question was ” Is there a difference in the way see/love your children?
Then that answer would be no.
But
If the question was ” How do feel about the circumstances they were born in?
Then that answer would be like the Elle interview.

Thanks for posting it here, and I don’t see anything wrong with what she said, and that is JMO.
And I am out as well, got stuff to do today
I will put this Elle interview in context……it was done in India….around October/November timeframe. Same with the Vogue interview done in September 2006. Since then, Angelina has been on the Larry King show where she stated in her own words…..there is no difference between her adopted children & her biological child…..on the same day that she and Brad walked the red carpet for the Good Shepherd premiere. That was on 11 December 2006.
Folks will ALWAYS be up in arms and find ANYTHING & EVERYTHING negative to say about Angelina in respect to her adopted children vs her biological child. GET REAL NOW…..do you actually think the tabs and some portions of the general public want her to ADOPT her next child???? Heck NO!! They want another “I see a baby bump”…. biological child….a boy perhaps so they can “effectively” push Maddox & Zahara right into the background…..and the proof we have is right here in these blogs! We are here discussing how Angelina doesn’t feel for Shiloh, and so many folks have their panties in a bunch because of it!!! Brad & Angelina knew from the moment they annonced they were pregnant that they had to control the images of their family and how they presented themselves in print & TV interviews.
Sure we got the People Mag cover of Brad & Angie w/ Shiloh and pics of each parent alone with her, but we also got the family picture of Brad holding Zahara & Angie holding Shiloh. Mommy & Daddy and their girls……think of what this picture will mean to both girls in the future…..they both are important to both parents. Take the recent family picture taken in Cambodia……I love the way it was posed as NEITHER parent was pictured ALONE, or TOGETHER with Shiloh (whoever was holding Shiloh in the picture was wisely cropped out), and IMHO, you will NEVER see Brad or Angelina pose for a picture like that because it will reinforce what the tabs want and they are smart enough to know this…..I’m glad Shiloh was in the middle of the picture, because if it was taken any other way, Zahara & Maddox would have been photoshopped right out of it!
Each interview that Angelina does will be picked apart. The lady is honest and has a lot to say….some folks just don’t want to hear it for their own reasons or agendas.
a hater is a hater is a hater. These haters will be doing their part to have this interview be around here for a while. These haters are from Female first & they are waiting for this thread to arrive & spew their so-called fake concern about the kids & attack Angelina. Because lately the tabloids cannot find any faults on how they raise their kids & now is the moment they’ve been waiting for.
haven’t you notice not a single news from the Aniston? Weird. I guess Huvane is warning her on displaying & saying anything so the attack on her will die down.
Bcuz that youtube stuff was not workin right, it’s just easier to write email.
HEY FOLKS watch this video,TAFTOUFA! has got mad skills and yet we can’t communicate on youtube go figure

A HUGE thank you to whoever posted the whole “interview” at Pitt Impressions. When read as part of the whole article, it makes perfect sense. I am one of those strange women who really don’t like infants very much. Yeah, they are cute, and usually smell good, but really, they ARE blobs! I totally understand what Angie means. I really didn’t start to enjoy my daughter until she was about 6 months old. I loved her, don’t get me wrong, but, I too find the development of personality such a KICK.
I DO wonder if this is a real interview. All the photos are clearly old, but, Elle isn’t a tabloid, so I’m somewhat confused.

Thanks for the full quote. People are going to mis-interpret AJ words to fit their opinion about her and nothing people can say will change their minds. All this false concern for Shiloh would be funny if it was not so pathetic. Anyone with two eyes can see that they love all their children. However, some people want to separate the adopted children from Shiloh when they are all one big family. It is so sad in this PR, public image world where people only want you to come across as the “girl next door”; the celebrity who could be your friend; or the star who is just like you; that people would hate on a woman who just trying live her life and do some good in the world.
I’m sorry but if you feel your newborn daughter is just a blob, you have a problem.
Thank you Jared & Audrey!
I can’t help it, and don’t want to help it, I LOVE ZAHARA! She is such a testament to what a little love and care can do. The child would probably be long dead to be blunt about without what I believe was truly divine intervention/providence.
Her smile has me grinning ear to ear. I can just see her screaming at her daddy doing his dance, and I can see her now as Angelina describes her, “running the show.”
Love it.

It’s so good to come here and read very well thought out perceptions of Angie’s “quote”. This is when I enjoy reading people’s opinions, and not because they happen to be along the way that I think. From lurking on other sites, I find that this one is really unique in the level of communication that is found here.
Can someone tell me when this vote on Hello will be over? Just wondering. Have been doing it when I remember, but I don’t see on the site when the contest is over.
Are BAMZS going back to New O when they are done in Virgin Is. ??
Thanks..
