Brad Pitt to adopt Angelina's children

'Brad Pitt's publicist has confirmed that the actor is in the process of becoming the adoptive father of Maddox and Zahara Jolie. In court papers filed Friday, it was revealed that Brad and Angelina are petitioning the court to change the names of the children to Maddox Jolie-Pitt and Zahara Jolie-Pitt. Pitt's publicist admits that they are "confirming that Brad Pitt is in the process of becoming the adoptive father of both children," but says that no further comment will be made on the matter.
'Rumors are floating that the adoption is one of the first steps towards cementing the family - prenups have also apparently been drawn up for a future marriage between the pair.'

(that's not my spelling of 'rumors' btw!)

Oh, Happydaddy! Let's hope she reads this and decides to shag you too!!! Is that the idea??

"No sympathy for Angelina as Billy Bob cheated on her, then?"

Well, she should have know better than to do it to someone else.

Team Enid.

And God forbid a woman should work, eh?

DinosaurInAManger · 05/12/2005 14:05

Gosh, I'm in a joining-in sort of mood today.

didn't jolie have a crack at stealing Kylie's boyfriend once (allegedly) strumpet!!!

doormat · 05/12/2005 14:38

Angelina Jolie is one very insecure woman, she only has 2 adopted cchildren because she has the money IMO
she is totally screwed up
and she kisses her half brother btw
it was done on the red carpet, not a peck but full blown kiss
weirdo

doormat · 05/12/2005 14:40

ps as for her and brad pitt
I am with enid, dont give it very long
she has a thing for screwing her leading men

look at ethan hawke and uma therman spliting after ethan filmed taking lives with AJ
very dangerous woman too

Lakota · 05/12/2005 14:49

I might be being dense, but...isn't Maddox already adopted by Billy Bob? What happens there? Does Billy Bob no longer feel he's his father just because he and Angelina have split up? Does anyone know how that works legally?

saadia · 05/12/2005 14:58

Seems to me that Pitt changes according to whoever he's with. Seems to have had a complete personality transplant since hooking up with Jolie, I mean it's great that they're doing charity work and raising awareness about the under-priveleged, in fact I really admire Jolie for everything she does.

But Brad - he had his hair cut like Gwyneth when he was with her - just seems that his own identity becomes too linked with his partner's, but I do hope, since there are kids involved, that they are really serious.

I think I read somewhere that even Jen is not sure why they split, and she said she may never know the truth.

weesaidie · 05/12/2005 15:01

Awwww poor old Brad, his woman dared to have a career... my heart is bleeding for him. He sure took a long time to get over it didn't he? PAH!

I think the adoption thing is madness so soon.

crimbocrazydazy · 05/12/2005 15:05

Didn't Brad Pitt once say after he married Jen that "I can't imagine being with the same woman for the rest of my life" and there being a hoo ha about it?

As if a guy as gorgeous as him is ever going to be faithful forever? Not on your nelly.

Bit like Beckham imo

crimbocrazydazy · 05/12/2005 15:07

DP and I were talking about them the other night. DP reckons although Jen is beautiful she is not sexy whereas Angelina is and he reckons guys would choose a sexy woman above a beautiful one.

handlemecarefully · 05/12/2005 15:18

I expect Brad will last about 5 minutes like Jolie's previous husband.

bosscatsroastingonanopenfire · 05/12/2005 15:20

jen and brad probably saw each other 4 times a year. he seems totally infatuated with ms jolie and I'll bet he just fell in love with her and dumped poor jen. problem is infatuation wears off and angelina doesn't have a great track record does she. there must be something nice about her though or they wouldn't have let her adopt the children and she is ALWAYS photographed with Maddox so does seem genuinely to be a hands on mum.

handlemecarefully · 05/12/2005 15:20

As well as having a mouth like an infected bumhole, she is also a hypocrite. I understand that she loathes her father partly because of his womanising and the pain it caused her mother. But she is perfectly happy to wreck another woman's marraige it would seem

handlemecarefully · 05/12/2005 15:22

"must be something nice about her though or they wouldn't have let her adopt the children"

yeah lots of money and contacts (sorry, am being overly cynical)

doormat · 05/12/2005 15:26

pmsl hmc infected bumhole

Lakota · 05/12/2005 15:30

Anyone know about whether Billy Bob is still legally Maddox's father?

thecattleareALOHing · 05/12/2005 16:07

She adopted Maddox independently iirc.

dingdongmeggymooonhigh · 05/12/2005 16:37

I still can't help feeling sorry for Jennifer Aniston. Keep imagining how I would feel if my Dh had done the same and it was public knowledge and then to take on her children as well I guess we'll never know the full story.

ruty · 05/12/2005 18:46

will they be hands on parents? I suppose the ten month old has a permanent nanny. I always found it strange that she wanted to adopt children so young, and as a single woman. I wonder what agenda she has, but i'm not sure how mature she is. I may be wrong tho. And agree Brad seems to have a personality transplant with each relationship. Hope it lasts for the kids' sake.

Aloha has the answer to that Rudy. Unsurprisingly it all has to do with facial fillers etc. Pregnancy and ethereal beauty don't mix, no matter how much you glow.

Whoohoo! I have a team!!
