Who the hell you are to judge what Angie should wear. You are nobody. She can wear whatever she wants and do whatever she wants. It’s her money. Mind your own business. You are really an idiot.

Stop trying to sound smart. You’re not. I wouldn’t change my dogs name after 3 years let alone a child!! She took away the one thing he recognizes… his name. Not only didn’t he understand the english language but then he didn’t even understand his new name. Understandably she wanted to honor her mother’s wishes, however, maybe she should’ve saved the “blessed name” for a biological child - one that hasn’t already come into the world with one. If she wanted Pax to be familiar with his culture then why not let him keep his name?! Don’t give me your psycho babble about what the name Pax means… it’s not his real name. PERIOD. I have no problem debating your opinions, especially if their not in line with mine. BUT atleast I explain my point of view, whereas, you people just knock on everyone that isn’t hailing praise to Jolie. You don’t justify your lame opinion.

It is YOUR opinion that renaming her son Pax Thien was atrocious. It is OUR opinion that she and other adopter parents have the right to name their child anything they want. It is YOUR opinion that 3 years old child was too old to adapt to a new name. It is OUR opinion that a 3 years old child is young enough to adapt to a new name, loving parents and learning English at the same time.
******************************************************

As someone who has worked in the field of adoption and foster care for many years, I’d agree with you, with some reservations. I don’t think a three year old is too old to adapt to a new name. Four is a little more tricky, and I definitely wouldn’t change a five year old’s name, unless the child wanted to change it, and then I’d let him pick his new name. It is his name, after all. I’ve seen foreign adoptions where the parents decide to keep the child’s name in order to help him maintain his ethnic identity, and as soon as the kid is in school, he wants to change it to a name that sounds more like his classmates. In this case, little Pax seems to be adapting very well to his new name and his new family, and that, of course, is the bottom line.

I guess Pax told Jill he’s adjusting well. OK, your “professional opinion” has been noted. So basically Pax was saved from any adjustment since he missed the “cut off date” of 4 years old. Although children are resiliant at such a young age, why make them adjust to a new name, really? Angie’s not one for keeping her kids in this country for long periods of time, so why would he have to change his name to sound more like classmates? Which classmates, on which continent? I am a mother and I have a toddler, I can’t even begin to imagine my child adjusting to a new name. Their name identifies them. It just sounds wrong TO ME.

AJ shoes are not appropiate for a small kids school. She has no idea how ridiculous she looks. But I do.

You just proved how stupid you are why are you dissing on her shoes? She looks great get a life

From the UK MIrror so take with a grain of salt.

“Angelina is my love, my partner and the mother of my children,” says the 43-year-old actor. “We’re a normal family - a mother, a father and kids.”

Names are certainly a very important part of a child’s identity, but I don’t think any child’s identity is fixed at the ripe old age of three. By four they have a better sense of just who they are (this is the age when a lot of negativity and tantrum-throwing come out when they are asserting their autonomy — much more so than at two; believe me, I know from experience), and as I said before I definitely wouldn’t change a five year old’s name without the child’s consent and input. But Pax was only three when he was adopted, and the Jolie-Pitts did incorporate a Vietnamese name (Thien = sky) into his name to help tie him to his ethnicity. Actually, hon, I think you have a hidden agenda here — you hate the J-Ps, so you come on here with a load of pretentious bullsh*t about Pax’s name to justify it. I’m not buying it, and neither is anyone else.

302 not buying it : 09/19/2007 at 4:33 pm
Gosh the uneducated JP fan is still posing as me, what an uneducated pyscho, like those fans who attack the JPs –scary. Run JPs even I DONT WISH the alledge pyscho fan on you..oh and fat jokes are so eighties. Next. Next.

Today i’m officially ashamed to be a non fan of the JPS. How did AJ get so thick,fat?

to K– refer to post # 183 and # 282( my response to you is in blue font)

Oh maddox is only 6 , so it doesn’t matter? IT does matter moron, because this lifestyle will effect them when they are 15! and WHAT happens when they’re 13,14,15 and no longer see people wanting to take their pictures day in and day out… does their self esteem drop and do they start to question their worth - because no one is interested in them? (We know the hollywood types and they do have pretty big egos, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree). Or do they happily accept the fact that they are old news?
————–
How do you know this is gonna be their lifestyles for the rest of their lives? Again, you are ASSUMING and PROJECTING without any facts. Mad is 6 now, but you’re talking about this “what if when Mad is 13, 14, or 15. Isnt it a bit too far away to project right now? Nobody knows how long they will remain in hollywood, or if they will go part time. Brad may focus on his production company. Angie has always expressed more interest in humanitarian work. But nope !!! You hate them. So you project the future( 10 years +) based on what it’s happening now.

Your post mentioned about Mad’s “self esteem, question self worth, no one is interested in the future etc.” Well, let me tell you, this is why parents come in. This is what separates good parents from bad parents. . Good parents will teach and explain to Mad what is happening and why there are paps out there . They will explain what their jobs are as actors. . If the parents teach the kids right, Mad will have learned what is superficiality, vanity, self worth, being grounded, reality etc. Looks like both Brad and Angie are good parents. There was this landlady in Calgary saying Mad had to write an apology letter when he broke the glass. There are also many instances which I cant quote them all, that the children are taught to behave well. It’s not doom and gloom. Life is not perfect. Given all these circumstances, it’s up to the parents to handle and SOLVE this to the best they can. Nothing cant be solved.

Sure, we see paps taking pics of the children going to and from school, airport, and central park. Think, there are 24 hours in one day. What is the % these children are photographed? Of course it would have been perfect to have 100 % privacy. Given the nature of their jobs, it’s impossible. But under the circumstances, the family handles well. . The family did mangage to get away anytime they find. There were many times when NO one knows where they were on vacations. The most recent example is : did any picture surface last week when they were gone a few days? No one knows where they are. In France, on vacation, they had a whole week without paps. By the time the paps caught up on them, they moved somewhere. There are many more instances !!!

STOP YOUR FAKE CONCERN

Ange can wear anything & still looks good. She is a movie star & she works for her money, she deserves to pamper herself. For the haters, criticizing Ange about her see through blouse, well, did you forget how the X wears her very small bikini in Hawaii? Didn’t you see how her private part is showing? OMG. Shame, shame on her, at the age of almost 39 & still exposing her private part? What so called sweet lady? PLEASE!!! She is no sweet lady. She also had plastic surgery, just in case you didn’t know that too, her chin & nose & who knows what other parts of her body went under the knife? She had it & still denied it. She is a fake & one good liar.

He’s holding on to her with both hands…….love,love,love.

Peace :)
