Angelina Jolie on the cover of "Hello" with her new son - is it me...

[emkana]

... or could she just have waited a little bit before thrusting this child into the limelight?

She's on the cover of Hello with him, already.

She could have waited and then again she could have not done it at all.

She's a freakin' nut job.

I thought she apologised for putting him in the "media glare" when she adopted him and went to pick him up so yes, being on the cover of hello a week later, does make a mockery of her apology.

she is in all the papers anyway being stalked
She will get shedloads of money which she will donate to charity as it probably specifies in the article
also hopefully people will get their fill she can do the photos and interview on her terms and then be left in reasonable peace while he settles in

lesser of two evils IMO

apparently he cried at the adoption ceremony and hid from his new mum

he seems shy and she should not make it worse by inviting photographers to snap him

she is pg again too

it's a no-win situation for them though isn't it? If she appears on the front of a magazine she's thrusting him into the limelight too young, and if she doesn't questions are asked of his whereabouts, whether he's ok etc. at least by giving the media a snapshot of the child she can now keep him away from the spotlight if she chooses without questions being asked.

tbh I didn't even know she'd adopted another child.

She's pregnant as well?

I hope Brad Pitt and her are not spreading themselves too thinly...

is she? link please!

Not very informative...

is she or isn't she?

i am sure lots of children are a bit nervous when they neet their adoptive parents - they are strangers to them after all. they could have been through anything to make then wary of people.

agree if she tries to keep him hidden the paprazzi will hound for 'that' picture.

that link is from sept 06....

Couldn't find anything else, so I'm guessing it's not true (or at least not confirmed) otherwise it would be reported somewhere on the net!

"apparently he cried at the adoption ceremony and hid from his new mum"

DD1 howled every time I touched her during her adoption ceremony and DD2 resolutely refused to leave her nanny's arms. I thought that this was entirely appropriate. If an institutionalised child of this age is immediately open and affectionate with strangers it is generally taken as a 'red flag' for attachment disorder.

DS screamed for an hour when he first met me and it took weeks before he smiled at me. Everyone said what a good sign it was that he had normal stranger fear and was not randomly affectionate.

I'm so glad I did have the press follwoing me - it was bloody hard enough as it was.

Also one of the photos I saw of them in a UK newspaper last should be reported - it was obviously not taken with her permission as she was actively trying to shield him. The press are not allowed to publish childrens pictures without consent of the parents IIRC - famous or not.

it ws in Grazia this morning that she is pg again

I agree with piffle - she is doing the paps out of their sneaky "exclusive" shots and she decides where the money goes.

poor child. isn't kerry on the front of Ok! with heidi too? (smiling, but eyes look "dead" iykwim)
i don't think i wiped all the goo off my t shirt before 8 weeks...

they are a bunch of twats
all of them

It does seem odd to adopt so many in relatively quick succession with so many moves of country and home and either parent often being away working 12 hour days.
Odd
I would have thought they had enough already!

I agree working parents should not be allowed more than 2 children. Thats more than enough.

And adopting children with a two year gap in between is far too fast - they should have been made to wait at least 5 yrs in between.

Outrageous behaviour.

i have to say if i had lots of money/time/houses/freebies/private jets/privelidges etc i would do the same as angelina and brad. i really really would

But they can't compete with Mia Farrow... yet

I would train guide dogs for the blind. That'd be cool, because then you could take the dog into shops and that.

I saw the babies in the Vietnamese orphanage. It looked a very clean, airy, caring sort of place, but I still wanted to take every single baby home.
