Angelina Jolie: I feel closer to Maddox and Zahara than Shiloh
Angelina Jolie has admitted that she’s can’t help but feel differently about each of her children, and she currently feels a lot closer to her adopted children Maddox and Zahara.
She told Elle magazine recently: “I think I feel so much more for Mad and Z 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 six months old, they came with 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.”
Angelina and partner Brad Pitt have previously said they both want more children and they’ll adopt again before having another biological child.
Brad confirmed their plans again to People magazine this week saying “of course” they’ll have more children and “we’ll let you know when we get there.”

She’s just a lovely mother. Yeah right!
I’ll bet Jane and Bill Pitt loved it when they heard that their most beloved (ha ha) Angelina called their grand daughter a “blob”. Does Brad Pitt have no balls? SHUT THIS BIMBO UP, PITTSTER.

I’ve looked “blob” up and it means “an indistinct shapeless form “. Angie used it when she was talking about her children’s personality: as being adopted Maddox and Zahara came to her with their’s while Shiloh has to build her’s from nothing. I think I figure out what she wanted to say. Nevertheless Angie should pay attention to what she tells the media, if she ever had a publicist things like this would never happen, but of course she doesn’t have one. The medias are so manipulative and keen to make a controversy out of nothing! I don’t know if she loves Mad and Z more than she loves S but one thing is for sure, she loves Shiloh and cares for her much more than any other person who criticises her as a mother!!!

They usually travel with an entourage of about 20 people, of course she has a publicist. She wasn’t trying to be controversial, she never wanted a biological child and prefers to adopt children so she can feed her Messiah-like image of herself. A natural child does not give her that opportunity. If she was so sincere about adoption, why did she have such a go at Madonna for also adopting a child from a hopeless situation?

oh I know Angie is such a contreversy on her own, and I don’t really know if she was sincere about adoption or not. All I’ve seen is everybody blaming her for everything except for being a good mother. And all I know is that she is the one A-List in hollywood without a publicist, and it’s her trademark from the beginning of her career. (check on serious websites about actors and movies)

Ah yes, but remember, she did once wear a vial of BIlly Bob’s blood around her neck, not to mention make out with her brother.

Lady,
face it…she is a freak.
She only adopts and adopts and adopts and adopts to fill up a need she has…a lack of something in her own self…would you call you child a BLOB!
SHe probably resents her own daughter for being her biological daughter…she knows deep inside of her what goes on in her brain…in her soul..shee probably doesn’t like herself very much…therefore figures her daughter can’t be that great!
She is sick in the head!

SHE SURE IS SICK IN THE HEAD! ANY MOTHER THAT MAKES THE COMMENTS SHE MADE CERTAINLY DOESN’T NEED TO BE ALLOWED TO ADOPT ANY MORE CHILDREN TO WARP. AND YOU ARE RIGHT, SHE’S ADOPTING CHILDREN TO FILL UP THE HOLE IN HER SOUL AND IT WILL NEVER WORK. SHE CAN’T ADOPT CHILDREN TO MAKE HERSELF FEEL BETTER. SHE WILL WIND UP WITH A HOUSEFUL OF KIDS, SOME SHE CAN LOVE, SOME SHE CAN’T LOVE AND THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT SHE CAN’T STAND HERSELF. NEITHER CAN I.

Whatever! Jolina is a terrible mother admitting she loves her own flesh and blood child conditional is sickening, She should not be allowed to adopt anymore. Her love for those adopted children are conditional too because they were so unprivilaged. Now that shiloh was born to a couple of unloving parents now she is unprivilaged.

I agree that she was misrepresented. I too have two biological children and three adopted. There is something in a mother to love the weakest child. It doesn’t matter if the child is adopted, fostered or bio. I think that is probably what she was saying NOT that she doesn’t love Shiloh A mother will always gravitate to the weakest child. I think that God made it that way!

let Angelina thinks she’s right because she’s more inclined to help and understand the needs of adopted children because she doesn’t want them to be insecure someday..Anyway Shiloh is too young to give a judgement who knows she’ll be the best of all because her baby photos did help for donation plus she got the good genes from Brad who is very thoughtful father..Wish you luck!!!

You know the funny thing is that she never said that..
But these media types have gotten away with so much untruths they just keep going.
I read about another actress getting upset b/c when she went in for an interview at a mag..the mag only printed exerps to make her sound like she doesn’t care for her friends–she called the mag and said they better print a retraction or she would sue them..
The mags that used to be reputable are now no better thatn the rag mags..by omitting parts of sentences and espressed views they can twist a story around to sound like something else..

So only poor children from 3rd world countries are deserving of Angelina’s unconditional love? This woman is so f***d up, Shiloh better start saving for therapy, or move to a third world country and hope Angelina might adopt her. She might then “be more inclined to feel” for her own child.

yes Anne, I’m with you on this one, I’m kind of tired of the pr too, why are we not talking about other people who are doing the work quietly? Mia Farrow has been doing this for years!!!! How come we don’t talk about her?

oh no don’t you bring Mia Farrow here! her adoptive daughter felt for her mom’s hubby Woody Allen. lets go back to Jolie I think that she was talking about empathy, about how awful zahara and maddox’ lives would have been if she and brad didn’t adopt them. the “blob” as a metaphor is quite relevant. at least thats my opinion.

i know the girl felt for woody allen but it doesn’t mean what mia farrow is doing isn’t worthy. she’s been doing it for a long while, before any hollywood stars.

sure but mia farrow’s time is over, the pr talking about present stars adopting children (tom cruise and nicole kidman, lionel richie, sharon stone, meg ryan and of course brad pitt and angelina jolie) is quite logical! then coverage is a matter of status. pitt’s after all the sexiest man alive. by the way josephine baker has also done it many years before any hollywood stars actually.

i’m sure she’ll get a lot of attention if she adopts. i hope she knows what she’s letting herself in for. if she did have a miscarriage, poor her. i feel bad for her if that was the truth. i don’t think she deserves some of the name calling that she’s getting at all.

each one to his own taste, but pitt and clooney were the only men voted as to be the sexiest alive for 3 times. and both are aging well I think, I’d rather see pitt in babel than when he used to be with gwyn. jake looks like farell, cute and wild at the same time

clooney reminds me of an old uncle. he’s aged quite fast. i’m not into older men, clooney, ford, newman, hackman, hoffman, redford and the rest..i think they’re perfectly okay looking, that’s it. i know some girls like older men but not me. to me edward norton has aged beautifully. i don’t know what he was doing with love though. i’m glad he saw the light at the end.

I’m sick of seeing her kids. Yes we know she is the mother of three beautiful children but I don’t want to see them until they’re adults! I don’t care if she doesn’t love them all equally! Yes, your guys are right. Brad isn’t sexy. When was he voted the sexiest men alive 3 times? in the middle ages more like it!

by the way josephine baker is dead..i thought we were discussing alive stars? Mia Farrow is alive and doing something worthy. I think what Mia (and other celebs who adopt quietly like emma thompson and ewan mcgregor) are doing is very humbling.

Poor - poor - poor Shiloh!!!! Let’s hope her dad has more depth of feeling for her than her mom. If Shiloh was so privileged she probably wouldn’t have landed with a messed up mom like Angelina…..

Any woman who has given birth to a baby understands what Angelina meant. When your pregnant you think that giving birth will be the happiest day of your life, that Mother Nature is going to look upon you and the angels will sing…and your going to be more in love then you could ever imagine, and eventually you are, but in the beginning, it’s very hard, and overwhelming and you don’t feel so great (ok everytime you stand up you feel like your insides are falling out) I don’t think in anyway she meant that she does not love Shiloh, I think she was referring to empathy and sympathy…or maybe she is just a Mommy Dearest type and doesn’t want Shiloh to be a spoiled brat, and resents the position Shiloh was born into…who knows?

OBVIOUSLY ANGELINA IS HAVING A TOUGH TIME PLAYING THE MOM ROLE…SHE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO ACTING SCHOOL. I AGREE WITH YOU, SHE DEFINITELY SOUNDS RESENTFUL TOWARDS SHILOH AND I’M SURE SOMEDAY DOWN THE ROAD, THIS WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT HER. HOPEFULLY BRAD WILL WISE UP, FILE FOR DIVORCE AND GET CUSTODY OF SHILOH SINCE JOLIE CAN’T SEEM TO LOVE HER. THE JUDGE WILL HAVE AN EASY DECISION ON THIS CUSTODY ISSUE.

Yes, I agree. I hope those statements were taken out of context, which they very well could have been, seeing as she is an actress. While I was reading all of these comments it once again made me think that I would of course l
