Zahara Jolie Pitt’s Birthday Bash

Zahara Jolie-Pitt turns the big 2 today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ZAHARA!

More pictures from Saturday of cast members from the film Babel, Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Rinko Kikuch, and Adriana Barrazai backstage after receiving the ensemble performance award at the 18th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala in Palm Springs, Calif.

  • On wanting more siblings for Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh: “Always, of course. We’ll let you know when we get there.”
  • On living in New Orleans to film “Benjamin Button”: “I do like it there. It’s one of our most unique cities and it certainly needs some help right now. I know it will do fine, and the people are just fantastic.”
  • Brad on his film “Babel”: “I love the undercurrent of this film, and that is the inability, sometimes, to understand where the other side is coming from.”
  • On “Babel” being honored at PSFF: “For us, it’s about the ensemble award. Given the international nature of our cast, it’s a really nice honor.”

I asked on the other thread [I think] what about Jesse James movie, any news?

Angelina Jolie Prefers Hand-Picked Refugees To Blob Of Her Loins

In an upcoming interview with the UK edition of Elle, occasional actress and globe-trotting orphan collector Angelina Jolie admits that she has a special fondness for the members of her multicultural brood that she carefully hand-selected from the Third World’s finest baby bazaars, telling the magazine that she finds it easier to open her heart to Cambodian Maddox and Ethiopian Zahara than to biological daughter Shiloh, the genetically perfect, still-amorphous baby-blob rendered totally, like, boring by her privileged birth:

“I think I feel so much more for Madd and Zee because they’re survivors, they came through so much. Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born. I have less inclination to feel for her…I met my other kids when they were 6 months old, they came with a personality. A newborn really is this…Yes, a blob! But now she’s starting to have a personality…I’m conscious that I have to make sure I don’t ignore her needs, just because I think the others are more vulnerable.”

To her credit, Jolie seems conscious of her bias against Shiloh and is taking the proper steps to correct any neglectful behavior; for example, when she hears her daughter’s mewling over the baby monitor, she no longer storms into the nursery and scolds, “You think you’re hungry? Don’t you realize that your sister Zee never even saw food before I rescued her from that refugee camp and took her to a meal at the Four Seasons? Now stop crying and take a minute to think about how easy you’ve got it, you spoiled little thing.”

I don’t think that page six thing hints at all that it is angie. Angie has never been known to be with rock stars. Her two latest babies have been girls.

Happy birthday Princess Jolie-Pitt!!

I’m going with the song to:

HAPPY BIRHTDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ZAHARA.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU….

Chinnocchio feels the need to refute any rumor. “I’m not dating VV”, “I’m not engaged to VV”, “no,no” I’ve not broken up with VV. Then what the F*ck were you doing hanging on him like a leech then?

HAPPY BIRHTDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ZAHARA.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU….

You are loved and adored by your mommy, daddy, brother and sister. What you don’t know is you have a very large group of god mothers here who will always look out and defend you in our own small way. Good life little one!

Blob or not, at least BP loves that blob. Chinnocchio just wish she had a blob like that. Sweet little blob Shiloh, don’t worry, we all know your parents adore you.

dont post any article, perezhi @ 01/08/2007 at 7:20 pm

People, Please

for the elle article, perezhilton picked it up.

in the future, DONT post any article negative and make it easy for haters.

i really suggest the gala article NOT be posted since it was also misquoted.

Sheri:

I think someone on this board mentioned how they many people on these boards do not do critical reading and thinking. I tend to agree with this analysis. Many of them, as well as tabloid and mainstream media take a story and run with it without any supportable facts. In addition, many people who do not like Angie, do what they always do - they see a negative story about her and they pounce on it. What can you do? Even if it comes out next week that the stories were untrue and misquoted, those who hate her will continue to say that she hates Shiloh or that she said Madonna broke the law. Just like they did when they wrote that she said she wanted to have a meeting with JA, when this is not exactly what she said.
What she actually said may never be known because by the time you get through what the writer left out, what gets lost in translation and what the tabloids skew for controversy, too much would have already been said about it for the real truth to have any bearing.

Yeah, now we have a choir! When you sing doesn’t it just remind you of why we all came here in the first place. Singing with ntt last night reminded me. Yes I’ll answer some but I won’t get into pi$$ing matches with them anymore, they are not worth it.

Singing to Zahara.

HAPPY BIRHTDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ZAHARA.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU….

Zahara, you are a fortunate child to have 2 parents that are as loving as they are beautiful and wealthy. We here at jj will always love you and defend you from those that would speak of you in a hurtful manner

HAPPY BIRHTDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,

I’D NEVER DO WHAT MADONNA DID
ANGELINA ON.. EVERYTHING

Exclusive by Lori Campbell

SHE’S a celebrity mother with two Third World children of her own. So you would expect Angelina Jolie to support Madonna’s adoption of a young black boy from Malawi.

But the Hollywood actress has criticised the superstar singer for taking 14-month-old David Banda out of the impoverished African nation “illegally”.

“Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where he was born,” she said.

“It is a country where there is no real legal framework for adoption. Personally, I prefer to stay on the right side of the law. I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is illegal.”

Angelina, 31, says she was shocked at Madonna’s decision to whisk David away from the country where his father lives. And her words are even more surprising when she reveals that it was HER who persuaded Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie to abandon plans to adopt a baby in America - and look instead to Africa.

Madonna and Guy were on the books of a Californian agency which handles children from the “ghettos”.

But Angelina and lover Brad Pitt, who have an adopted son from Cambodia and daughter from Ethiopia, convinced them over dinner to follow their own example.

Since she adopted David in October, Madonna has been accused by human rights groups of using her fame and money to bypass laws governing the adoption of Malawian children by foreigners. Angelina, who is a United Nations goodwill ambassador, says she feels sorry for Madonna, who has faced a barrage of criticism since bringing David home to London to join her own children, Lourdes, 10, and Rocco, six. She said: “I have been horrified by the attacks she has been subjected to. All that should count is the happiness of her little David.”

The comments about Madonna come after the Material Girl, 48, angered Angelina and Brad by criticising their charity work.

The couple were said to be “shocked” after comments by the singer which appeared to ridcule their involvement in building an orphanage in India. Madonna had said: “I’m not interested in going there like an idiot and going OK, I’m going to build 10 orphanages and I’ll see you guys later.”

In her most frank interview to date, Angelina talks about her home life with Brad, their adopted children - Maddox, five, and 23- month-old Zahara - and their own daughter Shiloh, six months.

The family celebrated New Year in New York after a two-year tour of the world when they visited their adopted children’s birthplaces - and Angelina gave birth to Shiloh in Namibia. She told French magazine Gala that despite their domestic happiness, she has ruled out marriage to Brad. Referring to her previous marriages to actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton, she said: “I’ve already done it. Two times and without success.

“I’ve nothing against it. I find it very cute to want to be with someone for life. But with Brad we’ve not had any need to go past this stage. We’ve not approached the subject. We haven’t missed it. It’s far more important for us that Brad’s become the legal father of Maddox and Zahara.”

Asked if she’d found stability with Brad, 42, Angelina said: “Don’t go repeating it whatever you do but, yes I love him. I love him a lot. After I met him my life seemed more harmonious.

“At 20 I was nervous about the most trifling things. As the mother of a big family I’m not able to have these worries, I have too many responsibilities. Today the good health of my children is all that is important.”

Angelina said she hoped motherhood had not softened the tough image she won with action roles like Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, and Mrs Smith in Mr & Mrs Smith. “No. Look, I’ve had a new tattoo on the arm,” she said. “I’ve had a tattoo of the latitude and longitude of the birthplaces of Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh in order to remember our first face-to-face.”

Of Shiloh’s birth, she said: “She was born by caesarean section - her arrival in the world was therefore a particularly ephemeral moment.

“But Shiloh is no more special than Mad or Zahara in my eyes. For me there is no difference between her and her elder siblings. I love my three children with exactly the same force.” But she added: “Shiloh reminds me of Brad when I look at her.”

Asked if the family lived a normal life, Angelina said: “What’s normality? Taking the children to the park, offering them a trip to Disneyland? For us that’s not possible. So we make adjustments. But our life is more normal than people think. Each morning I’m woken by Brad, who gets agitated by changing the nappies of Zahara and Shiloh at the same time.

“In the evening, when we can find the time, we dine as a family. It really is because of the children that we keep our feet on the ground. Without them, we would certainly find celebrity kept us in a trap.”

ADMITTING that being a mother and a Hollywood star was difficult, Angelina said: “Of course it means I have to make choices.

“It’s for this reason that I haven’t spent more than two months in front of the camera over the past two years. But that’s suited me perfectly. Real life does not take place on a screen. I want to find an equilibrium between family and career. Brad and I want to continue to adopt, but keeping a big family is expensive.

“For the moment we are talking between ourselves about our respective professional projects, we will then make sure we are agreed between ourselves on where we’re working and so plan our absences. We need to be attached to Mad, Zahara and Shiloh as much as possible.

“Recently we took Mad to Cambodia, his birthplace. For the first time he was conscious of his origins and identity. At the end of the journey he ate his first plate of locusts in a restaurant!

“Discovering other places, other customs with my children - that’s what I love. And all of this is more wonderful since I’ve been able to do it with Brad.”

Angelina, who adopted Maddox in 2002, met Brad on the set of Mr & Mr Smith while he was still married to actress Jennifer Aniston. But they insisted they were “just good friends” until Brad announced his split from the ex-Friends star in January 2005.

Brad became adoptive father to Maddox and Zahara. And Angelina gave birth to Shiloh in Namibia in March last year.

Sorry guys, but here is my off-keys voice again.

HAPPY BIRHTDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ZAHARA.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU….

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZAHARA!!!!!!

I hope all this stuff does not change Angelina. I really enjoy her interviews.

Bless BAMZS

Actually all those cut and paste patchworks the tabs are doing make me laugh. It’s rather entertaining. Just love Angelina for being such a firecracker.

So right, what bothers meis the lack of basic comprehension of what is written . I work for a straight new organization. Nothing tabloid, we have to have our facts straight. I know alot of what appears in magazine articles is not “clean reporting”, but basic sentences are not hard to comprehend. The joy that some people take in twisting them into an evil missive, well it makes me wonder about what happened to them to make them so warped.

Isabelle II @ 01/08/2007 at 7:34 pm

Some of those will ridicule us for singing, voting, and for expressing our love and the joy in our hearts, of which they none

I’m just going to remember the answer that Angie gave Diane Sawyer about comparing kissing Matt Damon and Brad (referring to the filming of the good shepherd. Her answer was so simple and sweet - to paraphrase it “One is my friend, one is my love”. That says it all.

And vote in 15 mins!

Never fear BAMZS. It’s only tabloid media and fanistons who wish to quiet Angelina. These groups can’t stand to hear either Angelina or Brad’s joy about their family. Angelina and Brad have thick skin and know they are respected where it matters.

By the way, the man, Brad chose to parent Maddox and our birthday girl Zahara long before knowing Shiloh would survive birth. He planned to be in their and Angelina’s lives without Shiloh’s birth forever. Brad couldn’t bring himself to ever be unattached to Angelina and their children.

Shiloh is the most loving and precious existence that Angelina and Brad wanted for each other, forever. Even better than a million dollar wedding that the law could dissolve.

excerpt from the mag @ 01/08/2007 at 7:38 pm

A newborn really is this…”
excerpt from the mag

Notice the writer suggest the word “blob”

“Blob?” I (the writer) 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.”
