Shiloh Jolie Pitt is a BLOB???

[southcitymom]

I remember reading an article after she adopted maddox where she said she never wanted to acutally have her own children - she wanted to adopt children from forgien countries. I think that this baby was an oops baby...
i wonder what that big tat on her back looks like now? i bet she got it when she didn't think she'd be having kids!

My best friend's entire back is covered in tattoos and she's had three children. In fact, she added a tattoo with each child. Her and the tats still look great!

It does seem like all she wants a baby making machine. I know it's not accurate, but to me, Brad really doesn't look happy. He looks like he's figured out that he's been bamboozled, and gave up a lot for AJ. When the time comes, AJ will kick him to the curb, and off she'll go with her babies.

And the deal with Madonna? It's almost as if AJ doesn't want to share the limelight (concerning adopting these children) with anyone else.

Guys, I am not sure that it was angelina at all that wanted to make the baby - i think that was a Brad thing! It was common knowledge that he really wanted to start a family with Jen sooner than later. So, he shacked up with AJ and *instant family*.

I also think that a lot of these celebrities, despite their obvious talents, are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, if you get my drift. I mean, take Britney Spears (please, someone!!)

They can sing or they can dance or they can act, but perhaps they just aren't that bright. Or perhaps they are bright, but not well-spoken.

Or perhpas they just don't relate to their own flesh and blood child in the same way they relate to their adopted children.......Angelina may have meant exactly what she said, exactly the way she said it.

By the way, with Brad, I have found it to be ironic that, as a person who is reportedly very close to his own family members, he has managed to pick himself two women sho are so badly estranged from a parent.

Well, that's just it - hard to find time for your own when you're "loving" all the others around the world. Also, me still thinks she has a major case of the guilts - she talks about her adopted kids' difficult underprivileged backgrounds and how she is less inclined to feel for Shiloh because of it but they have nannies, a private chef and 5-star treatment everywhere they go.

It's hard for me to take these celebs' views on things without a grain of salt. They don't live in the same world that we do. I am glad they give to others but I wish they believed the old adage charity begins at home. I wish they would spend more time at home (with their babies and helping those in the U.S., where they made their fortunes) but that's just me.

It's such a picture - Angie carrying around her huge Gucci bag as she talks to the children in Cambodia or Columbia.

Why don't stars seem to do more in the U.S., anyway?

I hear what you are saying, Eve, and agree with your assessment that celebs live a different life from us average schmos.

But doesn't everyone who wants to "give" feel called to give in different ways? My goddaughter was adopted from China, and you wouldn't believe the very vocal grief her mother got from many different people about not adopting domestically. But her path led her to believe China was where her daughter was.

I think we should respect the many different ways we are able to give to each other.

I hear you too, South, and in the case of your godaughter, I feel so differently. I guess I could be inconsistent. But because they are in the public eye, I suppose I am (perhaps wrongly) wishing that they would set an example here in the U.S. and also I wish they would give back here, in the U.S., where they have received so much bounty. So many people here need help, I work with them every day. There's no glamorous 5-star hotel in the little town I work in, and no stars trying to help.

So many people everywhere need so much help. We all do what we can to take care of the space in front of us - or sometimes, the spaces farther away.

Those people in the little town you work in have YOU...much better than any celeb, IMHO!:blowkiss:

I never wanted to give birth to children and I always knew I wanted to adopt. My son came to me at the age of 3 weeks old and I was unable to finialize the adoption until he was three and a half years old. ( Foster care system) Afterwards, I knew, for certain, I could never love a birth child as much as I feel my son and I had shared & endurded so much together. Later when I married my husband asked me if I wanted to birth one, I told him the truth. HELL NO, but then again my husband aint no Brad Pitt

At this point all of her children are privileged and hopefully are being treated equally.

You know, I hadn't even thought about the fact that maybe she didn't want her own biological children (until I read your post). I'd forgotten about her comment. You could very well be right.

I still think he's going to be out of the picture in very short order.

I think you're right. Granted, some of them are smart, but those are few and far between. It's not like they are going to find a cure for cancer...they are actors. And that's it.

I'm glad every word uttered out of my mouth isn't in the newspapers. I've said some pretty stupid things in my lifetime.

 

[concernedperson]

Me too. But I haven't been paid millions for my stupidity. I have also never called a child of mine or a child of another a blob. This is a precursor in many child abuse cases.....total disrespect for a child. I know, that is a hard statement, but I cannot forgive a parent who doesn't put a child first. Celebrity doesn't get a free pass and I won't give it.

Now if their makeup base was a wrong selection...I am totally on the page.I am trying to be humorous as I am not really there either.

Maybe she had a brain fart. Who knows. I'm sure that she has nothing but love for all of her children. I've called mine all sorts of things during the last 26 years of their lives, believe me. However, I'd rip anyone to shreds who ever tried to touch one of them. I'll bet if she had to qualify her statement, she'd probably word it better. Besides, she gets paid for her movies and her endorsements. Not for having kids or talking about them.

Our kids are more importent than any endorsements.We should be there in full support and encouragement and never publicly ridicule them. This comes back to them either now or certainly in their future. Her missing a movie role will never be as importent as her statements about her child...at least to her child. I am being the child's advocate now...not a celebrity supporter or any supporter.This little girl is going to ask questions one day that her mom has to answer for after it has been in the public forum.

I think these kids will be raised with the bigger picture. With full knowledge that the world dosent revolve around them.

I'd have to look around for the quotes, but I know Angie had said in the past that she didn't want biological children. Something along the lines of it would be selfish to bring more children into the world when there are already ones who need homes. Secondly, she said recently (I think it might have been in the blob interview, just wasn't included in the snip) that Shiloh was an accident.

 

[Marthatex]

I know a lot of people who have said this. My own mother included and my husband. They arent interested in the children until they can have some kind of give and take interaction with them. To them they are yes, blobs...eating, pooping, crying blobs.

I can see the point she is trying to make with her badly worded statement. Maybe she felt more protective of the others because of their backgrounds. Plus, motherhood from the beginning is a lot different than you expect when you've had older children. Some things come as a surprise, like all they do is sleep for 12 hours.

I had a hard time connecting to one of my children. Of course he had a medical issue that made it difficult but it didn't stop me from feeling like he didn't know me...or that he'd be just as happy if anyone was giving him care rather than me. We are closer now that he has grown up some but those first two years were hard. Not that I didn't love him, I just didn't understand him or what was happening.

I think it's admirable that you are (Bhama Mama) willing to give her slack and realize that things may have been misquoted, taken out of context, exaggerated, etc. - and that she was just plain BEING TOO POLITICALLY CORRECT; over-explaining. WE GET THE POINT ANGIE. You are doing great things.

Fox news is waiting to pounce on her. I would say, "of course I love them all the same", and nothing further. It's her personal life.

That said, I thought my little newborn girl was the most gorgeous, perfect thing I had ever seen. She was plump and had beautiful lips. I would never have thought of her as a blob. My son on the other hand had a crooked nose and SCARED ME, he was so ugly. He grew up handsome.

I always thought Angie, was very weird, but I've been trying to give her the benefit of the doubt. SHE'S JUST A LITTLE TOO OVER THE TOP for me. How can she think she's so down to earth when she flies to all these exotic places, spends time motoring in Vietnam, jet sets everywhere. something's gotta give. IMO

Me too, Jeana! I would live in embarrassment if that were the case!

 

[Rachael]

I think Angelina just wants people to think that she loves her adopted children as much as her biological child. Maybe she does..maybe she doesn't.

 

[luvbeaches]

Really, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if she didn't want to have biological children of her own. And it wouldn't surprise me a bit if Shiloh was an accident. I just hope that the "blob" comment isn't just the tip of the iceberg for Shiloh...and I hope AJ doesn't resent Shiloh for being unplanned. But this is nothing more than speculation on my part...
