Introducing… Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt
New reports from Vietnam are coming in that Angelina Jolie has renamed her 3-year-old adopted son from Pham Quang Sang to PAX THIEN JOLIE (soon to be PAX THIEN JOLIE-PITT).
In Latin, “PAX” means “peace.” In Vietnamese, “THIEN” means “sky.” The coolness factor pretty much matches up with the rest of the pack: Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh. PAX. THIEN. JOLIE. PITT.
But it has been confirmed that Angelina has completed procedures with Vietnamese authorities to adopt. Just one more hoop to jump through: U.S. consular and embassy officials must give approval.
In short… Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will soon have four children: 5-year-old son Maddox adopted from Cambodia, 3-year-old son Pax adopted from Vietnam, 2-year-old daughter Zahara adopted from Ethiopia and 10-month old daughter Shiloh, who was born to the couple in May 2006.

I just saw this on the trolls’ mother ship (aka FF) and thought it would give her fraudistons something to chew on:
Jennifer Aniston quits Hollywood
15th March 2007 20:00:01
Jennifer Aniston wants to quit Hollywood and move back to New York City.
The former ‘Friends’ star is hoping she will find love when she returns home, and is also keen to tread the boards on Broadway.
A source told Us Weekly magazine: “She feels she needs a boost in her life and she can meet all kinds of people there. And she can meet men. She’s revisiting the Broadway idea.”
Last October, the 38-year-old star took part in the one-night Broadway stage show ‘The 24 Hour Plays’ and earlier this month she spent five days in New York on business.
Between business meetings Jennifer kept a low profile, ordering room service at the exclusive Lowell Hotel and popping into a Hermès store shortly before closing to do some quiet shopping.
She also visited an apartment building where Harvey Keitel is already a resident.
She currently rents a $30,000-a-month Malibu home.
A source said: “She’s thinking about moving out.”
______________________
I’m sure NYC will be waiting with baited breath….
…hoping she doesn’t.
She’ll just ruin the level of artistic talent they have, by adding her mediocrity to the eastern region of the U.S.
I think it’s REALLY pathetic though and indicative of her weak and lame character that these kinds of life altering decisions always seem to revolve around ‘a man,’ and ‘finding a man.’
I recall she was seriously discussing moving to Chicago when she was faux dating Vince Vaughn (his hometown) checking out penthouse pads and homes and whatnot…no all of a sudden Chicago doesn’t factor in eh? Hmmm…well why not Maniston? Didn’t he try to convey that she thought it was a great place to be separate and apart from the fact that VV is from there.
But alas, the hype for her movie is over and so is the fake affair with Vince, AND Chicago.
Now she’s on to NYC to ‘find a man,’ but make no mistake, she won’t be moving there unless she has something to hype in the media, to the rags and the mags. Mark my words - THIS is how she’ll play it. Like her 10 minute movie she co-directed, her 24 hour, 15 minute, one day only, for charity broadway night, she has delusionally begun to believe that NYC is where she can re-make herself. Because people responded positively she thinks to her 10 minute one act on behalf of charity, she is under the delusion that perhaps she could do a REAL play.
But we must remember that this is the very lame and weak scaredy cat Maniston. This woman will NOT be headlining anything ala Sarah Jessica, Julia Roberts or Gwinny Paltry when they did plays and dramas on broadway (Maniston is TERRIFIED of failure and ridicule)…rather, I see her taking on some co-starring role in a play (on of several featured actors)..a supporting player piece maybe, where her ‘tv star and tabloid’ status can bring in the crowds, but if the play is trashed by critics she can’t be blamed directly. The other thing is a kind of ‘Friends’ type of play, where she would essentially just be ‘Rachel on stage.’ LMAO I definitely see her trying this tact, since she can’t get arrested lately…this way she can hilariously pretend to be all artistic and sh*t. Muahahaha.
MAN….30k a month for a home rental.. …. that like my yearly salary…..but then a Hermes bag is like 20k on advage.. I wonder why Jen FAN not on her case about that…..Oh oh oh…. I got it… she earn it….
But when Angie spent 30k to help other in need… Jen Fan will say that Angie do it for PR…. Well even if Angie spent that 30K for PR… I’m sure that many people will benefit from it….
Rather then 20k being spent on a bag that no one will benefit from…
Woo, Mad is rockin the Beatles shirt!
Well, it’s official — the new family acronym is BAMPZS :)
I’m so happy because of them!!!
So, it will be - BAMZSP!!!!!
Abigail, you are no Jolie-pitts fan, you are purposely here to pollute the thread. As already said you are no better than the fanistons, you are actually one of them.
By the way did any of you notice his lips? or is it just me, I think he has a little bit of that lips that most of the Jolie-pitts have. If he really does have , my oh my Brad and Angie pick the right child or maybe he was really meant to be with them.

What time is Scarborough on? I am on the West Coast, but I probably already missed it
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Don’t worry, everyone misses it. It’s the lowest rated “talk show” in the Fox/CNN/MSNBC ratings battle. Joe’s an ex-REPUBLICAN congressman from Florida, the guy’s a right wing conservative wackjob.
To all the BAMPSZ fans good morning! Another wonderful day for a wonderful family.
For all the HATERS, try and sing in key! One, two, three go!
Good morning heartache
You old gloomy sight
Good morning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it seems you heve gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I forget you, but youre here to stay
It seems I met you
When my love went away
Now everyday I stop Im saying to you
Good morning heartache whats new
Stop haunting me now
Cant shake you nohow
Just leave me alone
Ive got those monday blues
Straight to sunday blues
Good morning heartache
Here we go again
Good morning heartache
Youre the one
Who knows me well
Might as well get use to you hanging around
Good morning heartache
Sit down

Why don’t you adopt from the USA and let Angie and others adopt from wherever they see fit! If you are so concerned about it, you should do something instead of criticizing what others do.

I have done something! I just completed my homestudy as part of my process to adopt two boys who are wards of the state….
Here is a larger version of the article PT posted last night.
Vietnamese orphanage, superstar Jolie just an ordinary gal
The Associated PressPublished: March 15, 2007
HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam: When Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt showed up at a Vietnamese orphanage last fall, most of the staff had no idea they were Hollywood superstars.
“They looked very much like ordinary people,” said Bui Thi Bich Tuyen, a nurse at the Tam Binh orphanage where Jolie adopted the newest member of her family, 3-year-old Pax Thien Jolie, on Thursday.
“We thought that they were just an ordinary couple that wanted to play with the kids and give them presents,” Tuyen said. “They brought lots of toys.”
Jolie shared crayons and drew pictures with the kids. “We could already see that she had a heart for children,” said Tuyen, the nurse who had been in charge of raising Pax ever since he was brought to the orphanage as an infant.
“His Vietnamese name was Truong Quang Sang, but we just called him Sang,” Tuyen said. “He is a very lively boy, but sometimes when he met strangers he would become shy and often cried.”
Tuyen said Pax was of average size for a Vietnamese child his age — 92 centimeters (3 feet) tall and 14.5 kilometers (32 pounds).
“He is just a little boy, so I don’t think he understand the big change that has come into his life,” Tuyen said. “He is very lucky to be adopted by a famous star.”
About 350 children live at the Tam Binh orphanage on the outskirts of Vietnam’s booming southern business hub, Ho Chi Minh City.
Pax shared a room with about 25 of them, where they slept in two rows of beds in a 30-square-meter (320 square-foot) room.
Now he is staying in a Ho Chi Minh City luxury hotel with his mother and his new brother, 5-year-old Maddox, whom Jolie adopted in neighboring Cambodia.
It was not known how long Jolie would be in Vietnam, although one of her representatives said Thursday that she would probably stay until sometime next week.
In an interview in Friday’s Ho Chi Minh City Law newspaper — published by the city’s justice department, where the adoption ceremony took place Thursday — Jolie said she hoped also to take her children to the capital, Hanoi, and to a Vietnamese beach.
Asked about the media attention generated by the adoption, she was quoted as saying, “Photographs and press coverage will make him (Pax) upset. I’m very worried about that. I would like to say I’m sorry for bringing this into Pax’s life.”
“I’m not making any movies right now,” Jolie said in the interview. “I will stay at home to help Pax adjust to his new life. I have four children, and caring for them is the most important thing for me at the moment.”
U.S. officials must issue a visa before Pax can travel with his mother to the United States. Visas are usually issued in Hanoi, about two hours north of Ho Chi Minh City by plane.
In addition to brother Maddox, Pax’s other new siblings are 2-year-old Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia; and another sister, Shiloh, born to Jolie and Pitt in May.
Pitt did not travel to Vietnam with Jolie this week. She filed the adoption papers herself because the couple are not married.
Like Tuyen, orphanage vice director Ho Thi Kim Thoa had no idea who the superstars were when they first turned up at Tam Binh during a surprise visit last Thanksgiving.
“We did not realize that they are famous movie stars until the next day, when we saw their photos in the papers,” Thoa said.
Another orphanage staffer, who identified herself only as Yen, said she was also surprised to learn she had crossed paths with Hollywood stars.
“I wish I had known,” Yen said. “I would have brought a camera with me and had my picture taken.”
The Us Weekly Drug Issue
Man of the People– Last year, this half of a famous couple could be regularly seen driving around local public housing projects attempting to score crack. How did anyone know it was him? Only a megastar could afford his expensive set of wheels.
Late Riser– When this reformed bad girl used to stay for long periods at one historic Beverly Hills hotel, she required a special wake-up call each morning: a designated staffer had to pull the actress out of bed and stick her in a cold shower in order to sober her up from the night before. Then she would head off to her movie set.

This one is Lindsey Lohan, she used to live in the Chateu and in the same issue Janice Min put under a caption that “she reformed” or some crap like that.
The first one, I bet if Janice put her instead of him everyone and their mother guess would be angie, but since it’s him I have no idea.

Hi Real Tita, thank you for taking time to respond. It seems that I had to clarify a couple of points you raised.
Curly, you’re living in a dreamworld if you think the billionaires would part with what they think is hard earned monies.
C: No a normative statement is not equivalent of a positive one.
They are rich because they know how to hold on to their fortunes. In an ideal world, maybe we see them playing lord and lady bountiful and redistributing what they have amassed (with old money, it just gets handed down). However, this is the real world and what you are talking about is either socialism or communism.
C: Redistributive justice is not socialism or communism, if it is, then anyone who sues the town company for dumping toxic waste to town water supply is a flagrant communist, or anyone who picks survivors pension paycheck is a firm believer of socialism, redistributive justice is the social tri-partite contract between the state and among its citizens.
As we all know, those kind of societies don’t work. The ones in power are still rich and the people are still poor.
C: That applies to capitalism as well, in fact more so in capitalist societies. Life expectancy in Harlem, NYC is lower than the life expectancy in Kerala, India.
Even China and Russia have turned to capitalism now in order to survive.
C: China is not capitalist, its system is market socialism, Russia pretends to be capitalist, but a crony one. Speaking of which system is better than the other one, why do not we talk about Scandinavian countries where mothers have a year-long maternity leave? Or about the impossibility of universal basic health insurance in the US with per capital income of $30000, say compared to Turkey, which provides basic health insurance to its citizens with per capital income of $3500.
Besides, if the rich were always to give money to the poor, there wouldn’t be an incentive to better their stations. They would always rely on handouts and the rich would never be able to sustain the cycle if there were no laborers to work the fields or the factories that they own. Be practical for once.
C: I am being very practical, but I believe you miss my point: redistributive justice is not hand-outs which stigmatizes the poor and which is an assault to human dignity. Redistributive justice is giving back because -be it the State or the citizen- the party in question owes to the society which incidentally gave you the basic rights to function in that society. This applies to States as well, which takes its reason d’etre from its citizens, in all kinds of social systems: capitalism, socialism.
Life is never easy. You could feel sorry till you die but it ain’t gonna change the lay of the land or the circumstances in which some are born in.
C: That is quite fatalistic. But I have seen examples: Social mobility is close to nil in the States, majority of people end up in the same income decile of their parents, all else equal.
You could give until there is no more but then the vicious cycle starts all over again and then youmight find yourself in the bottom with the others. Man by nature is greedy.
C: If we believe in this, we should dismantle the institution of family. If man is by nature greedy, why would anyone care for a child? We could all be out and work and earn a pension paycheck. Many women, who take time-off for child rearing, end up in old-age poverty. Fathers could dump their families and instead save in the bank. BTW, whatever you think of socialism, family is by and of itself is a socialist institution.
You have to be in order to survive. So, help if you can help but don’t give the whole store away, as they say. That is what the Bill Gates, the Oprahs and the Jolie-Pitts are doing. The J-P’s may not be on the Forbes list, however, they are still better off than most people so they give back whatever they can. That is commendable in itself.
C: As I said in my original message criticizing JPs as “rich but hypocrites” is unfair, for precisely because of this reason.
Gotta go. See you guys tomorrow.
C: Thank you again for your response, we can later communicate by e-mail if you wish.
~c.

Hi, Curly. Thanks for the clarification. I thought I’d reply to you on this thread even though I know it’s older than the rest since this is where the discussion originated from. First off, I bow to your knowledge of world politics and events, not to mention your command of the English language (have been reading your posts from other threads as well).
I just jumped in there without really looking so I apologize for the mistake. You were responding to a poster who was criticizing the J-P’s for not giving as much as the others while I was reacting to the notion that wealth should be shared equally whether some people deserve it or not. How I crashed the wrong party is a blur but suffice it to say that the remarks were given in earnest. I respect your views and would love to discuss more at another time. Thank you for the offer of further communication. Just ask Jared for my e-mail (sorry, it’s at work so time is limited. computer at home doesn’t have Internet access).

the real tita Says:
Tita, all is well. Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to clarify. I am working in a field dealing with people who believe poor live in another country- distant and irrelevant, compulsory tuition is a must for elementary schools in Kenya, water is not a right, so if some people do not access to water sources, even for drinking and cooking, so be it.
I try to keep my optimism, but now and then I loss my hope when people, without moving a finger, without knowing what poverty or being hopeless means, criticize the efforts of people such as JPs as hypocrisy, or suggest that this person is worthy praise but not the other person. I salute all who wish the best, work for, try to do something, a little thing, for the deprived, needy, poor, disabled among us.
take care,

What a cute little one! I’m sure that he’ll find his feet soon, and will have carved out his own little place with in his family. Who is to say that Brad and Angelina haven’t prepared, and have things all ready, and in place for their new little tiny, Pax…I wouldn’t be too shocked if Maddox is in all his glory showing his new brother the ropes…and who is to say that Brad doesn’t have something special planned for little Pax as soon as he gets home?
Although this is besides the point I thought the entire Madonna adoption thing was dispicable, especially with the way the boy’s natural father rose holy h*ll over the adoption or whatever…But, with this adoption, I’m elated for the Jolie Pitt family, and wish them only the best for themselves- Angelina, Brad, Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, and now, little Pax…While the situations both these boys were in were bad and dangerous for them…I’m especially glad that little Pax isn’t going to be living in Vietnam anymore- where child prostitution is so rampant and prevelent. Then again, I’m a firm believer that having sibblings is way better than being an only child or whatever…It just seems to me that Angelina DOES have a heart for the little tinies…(And, in my opinion more so than Madonna…and that’s what it is, JUST my opinion, and probably isn’t worth a plug nickel, as it were!
