I just saw that TMZ video that someone posted on the other thread - that Z is just too much! Plus, I had to laugh at TMZ’s caption, “ZAHARA WALKS!” LOL. Not only that…but Pax walks, too. And how cute is it that Angie still calls Mad “Madness”?

=======================================

If I am not in err……, Zee was going beep, beep, beep, until she noticed the paps.

ok before I forget, I have a Aunt who works for the UNHCR, in refugees camps in Africa, and since she knows I am the biggest fan of Angelina, she told me that in one of her camps ( my aunt’s), in Africa, I think in Kenya, there is a boarding school dedicated for her and it is called Angelina Jolie school, and many staffs( who work for the UN) love her so much, when I heard this I was so happy, and I wanted to share with you guys.

bull @ 12/21/2007 at 6:18 pm I don’t get why it’s only when Angelina is out with the three older kids people scream where is SHILOH, but how many times did brad take teh kids to the park, carriage rides,and stuff like that without Shiloh?
—————————————————————————-
Very true…one should also ask why Brad didn’t have an outing with just Shiloh when they were in NY? He was snapped with their oldest children many times (collectively and separately). He must hate her like Angie does, huh? Maybe those worried about Shiloh should fly down to NO and ask them. They are out and about in their neighborhood enough for you to spot them :)

BOTH Angelina and Brad know exactly what they are doing…they know certain folks only want to see/care about Shiloh and that aren’t playing into it. I love that about them! She’ll be out and about when they want to take their youngest child out. Simple as that.

Thank you thank you. People trying to make something out of nothing at all.

Shiloh is Brad and Angelina’s child, and no one else’s.

People need to mind their own business.

Why only mention giving Shiloh away? Why did you not mention Mad, or Pax, or Z? Racist are we? And why not say something when Brad is out with his other kids without Shiloh?

You miserable gnats are all alike, living in the delusional world that Angelina does not love all her kids, that Shiloh is not loved just as fiercely as the other three little Jolie-Pitts.

Such a liar.

You could care less about Shiloh or her siblings. You just want to come here and vent your unhappiness and overwhelming inner misery at the demonstration of the reality of the continuing love exhibited between Brad and Angelina.
**********************************************************************

They are the very best , they just keep on loving loving loving each other and their kids no matter what.

WHERE IS SHILOH?????????????????

You should redirect your distress to the correct causes like the homelessness of the majority black people in NOLA (no offense to black people by the way) Zee’s hair should be the least of your concerns. For one she is not your child and two it is none of your business. I can bet you money that you have never a dopted a child or donated to any charity. This adorable couple is doing alot including adopting children and giving them better home with Love and all you can worry about is the look of her hair?

You really do have wrong priorities in life for sure!!

like clockwork

sara @ 12/21/2007 at 5:43 pm I could see why people think it’s odd Shiloh isn’t seen as often as the older three though and it can’t be because she’s young since they took Zahara everywhere when she was Shiloh’s age and younger.
—————————————————————-
Objectively, you also have to remember that back then there was only Maddox and Zahara. Shiloh wasn’t actually born yet, though Angelina was pregnant with her. It’s certainly easier to be out and about with two kids versus the four (with them all still being so young).

Though she probably naps more than her older siblings, I don’t think it’s her age but the way people seem to have orgasms when they see the kid. The Lee’s Art Shop scene would have been enough for anyone watching that video to understand why it might creep them out as parents (the fascination with their daughter). Add in the way the media seems to focus on Shiloh and it makes sense. If the media/paps were like that with ALL the kids, I’d get it. But they’re not.

For me, I could care less if I see any of their kids. They have such an intrusive life because of the jobs their parents have.

Great ! Thanks, JJ.

I’m a black women, from the DC Metro area, and there is nothing wrong with Zee’s hair, it’s natural, and looks nice.

++++++++++++++

It beats the hell out of me why we have to go through this everytime Z wears her hair loose. I was at the grocery store earlier and saw a couple of little black girls who looked like they’d put their fingers in a light socket. BUT…they were well-dressed, looked like they were getting plenty to eat, smiling, looked happy…and gosh darnit, they just weren’t fretting about their hair at all. Go figure. The measure of a child’s well-being is their happiness - not their hair. Sorry to burst that bubble for our trolls…

Feature: Jolie gives refugee girls a shot at school in Kenya

KAKUMA, Kenya, Oct 14 (UNHCR) – Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie leaned forward eagerly as a young Sudanese girl quietly recounted her tale of how she had fled war and hunger in her homeland and finally made her way to Kakuma refugee camp just over the border in north-western Kenya.

“She lost her entire family when she was only five years old and has been in this camp for more than 10 years. What do you say to someone who loses her whole family at such an age?” asked Jolie, visibly moved as she heard this and many other stories from refugee girls who had flocked to welcome her on this visit on Sunday. The sprawling camp at Kakuma is home to some 80,000 people.

Many of the girls moved Jolie, a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, close to tears as they told her how much they wanted to go to school and receive an education, but for a variety of reasons were often unable to do so.

“These girls are so strong, so inspiring. They want an education because they want a better life, they know they don’t have to stay forever near the bottom of the pile and want to move up,” Jolie said after sitting and chatting with the girls under the shade of a tree at one reception centre.

The Goodwill Ambassador shook her head in disbelief as she heard how many of the girls and women in the camp were subjected to various forms of violence – from rape to genital mutilation – and how many were unable to attend school due to domestic chores.

“On this trip my main concern has become the plight of refugee women and particularly girls. In Kakuma, close to 1,000 girls are out of school. I was upset to find that a good part of them are in this situation because of both early and forced marriages. I saw 12-year-old mothers!” she said.

To address the problems of young girls being abducted for marriage and early pregnancies, the UN refugee agency has set up programmes in the camp, like increasing the number of female police officers to encourage reporting of such incidents. A magistrate from the nearby town of Lodwar travels to Kakuma regularly to hear cases in a mobile court set up to handle various cases, including the abduction of girls for marriage. Refugee women committees established throughout the camp help counsel victims of early pregnancies and speak to communities about the risks of female genital mutilation. In school, an incentive programme is being run to encourage more girls to attend school. Attendance remains very irregular depending on domestic pressures refugee girls may face at home.

“As a refugee girl, you are expected to stand in line for hours to fetch water and carry it home, go out and forage for firewood, and cook and clean for the family,” said Jolie, noting that girls had to confront many other barriers in order to receive a decent education.

The Goodwill Ambassador made a personal donation of $200,000 to UNHCR’s work in Kenya, earmarking $50,000 of her donation to build a new school for girls at the camp. Many of its prospective pupils sang and clapped their hands as she unveiled a plaque and planted a tree at the proposed site.

“With this help, and the construction of this school, future generations of girls will be saved. Work begins tomorrow,” declared Kofi Mable, head of UNHCR’s Kakuma sub-office.

The plaque reads: “Dedicated to the emancipation of the refugee girls of Kakuma and women’s rights and freedom to education.”

Jolie said she had also heard chilling accounts of children as young as five being subjected to genital mutilation. “A number of the older women have also been raped and suffered other forms of sexual violence,” she said. “There can be no compromise on the physical safety and dignity of women as a whole, and particularly the refugee girls.”

Jolie, who is in Kenya shooting the sequel to the movie, “Tomb Raider”, also visited several other projects at the camp and handed out gifts ranging from volleyballs to exercise books. She expressed concern that a projected budget shortfall of some $20 million in UNHCR Kenya could lead to programme cuts.

“Most of the people here are already living on the bare minimum – any cut means a life,” she said, and appealed to the international community to continue to support “the work of UNHCR and the other organisations working for refugees, such as the World Food Programme – above all to ensure there is funding made available”.

The Goodwill Ambassador, who was greeted at Kakuma’s dirt airstrip by local Turkana tribeswomen, was given an enthusiastic welcome wherever she went in the camp. Young children sang songs and read poems of peace while their parents and older refugees banged drums and performed traditional dances.

She began her tour by watching a wheelchair basketball match by the victims of landmines. She moved on to a construction site where houses are built out of mud bricks.

Kakuma, which was created after thousands fled fighting in south Sudan – Africa’s longest-running civil war – also houses refugees from Angola, Ethiopia, Eritrea, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda. Sudanese, however, make up some 71 percent of the population.

Jolie, who has visited several refugee camps around the world since she became a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN refugee agency over one year ago, said she had seen “worse and better” camps than Kakuma. But what made this camp different was the number of girls who simply did not have a chance for a better life.

“It is not fair, it is simply not fair – every child, every girl has a right to education. Here they have just enough to survive, but they are so special, so spirited. It is I who must learn from them,” she later told a press conference in Nairobi.

UNHCR’s Representative to Kenya, George Okoth-Obbo, said Jolie’s visit was a shot in the arm to all concerned. “It is wonderful and humbling that someone so busy should find time to come here, to use her renown, her artistry, her presence, just to bring some joy into what is undoubtedly a hard life for many of the people here,” he said.
