Just Like Other Kids

Angelina Jolie’s children are beautiful, but are still children. Anyone with more than one child knows that there is the inevitable sibling rivalry and Angie’s are no exception. Maddox, age 6, is trying to hold onto his place as oldest and pushes Pax around to show him who is boss. However, Pax, age 4, stands his ground and pushes right back. Surprisingly, it is little Zahara that rules the household. The 2 year old tot has always been reported to have a strong personality and it shows as she screams, scratches and even bites to get her way.

 Perhaps the only Jolie-Pitt who hasn’t learned to fight back yet is little Shiloh who has suffered many scratches and even a broken tooth from being pushed around by the older children. Shocking? Not really, celebrity children are no different than others and just because their parents can fix everything onscreen doesn’t mean its as easy for them off-screen. For all you mothers out there who feel your children are always fighting…you aren’t alone!

Angie’s Medical Scare

Angelina Jolie had a medical scare recently when she experienced excessive swelling in her legs. The actress has been having a hard time with this pregnancy and has had swelling, or edema, earlier but this time it was blamed on an ankle injury suffered while in Texas. Due to her previous history of problems in this pregnancy, Angie chose to fly home to L.A. to visit her doctor.

During the trip home, Miss Jolie became more serious as the swelling increased and she began to feel more nauseous. Traveling in her and Brad Pitt’s Gulf-stream jet, the couple considered an emergency landing but Jolie wanted to see her own doctor so they continued to L.A. She was greeted at the airport by her doctor and security. The pregnant actress is currently resting at her home in Los Angeles.

Wedding Bells

The secret life of Angelina Jolie has leaked to the public and the theme music is the chiming of wedding bells. The very private nuptials are to take place in early June at Jolie and Brad Pitt’s home in Santa Barbara, California.

Instead of following in the Hollywood tradition of star studded guest list, the famous couple has opted for a quiet affair with only close friends and family. Furthermore, sources say that Angelina has asked her father, with whom she has been estranged from for the past 6 years, to walk her down the aisle.

Taking Time To Be Mom

While Angelina Jolie was in Washington DC this past week, attending the Vital Voices Global Leadership Awards and discussing an international education initiative at the Coucil on Foreign Relations, she took time out to be a mother to her two boys, Maddox and Pax. Jolie took her sons to the Air and Space Museum in D.C. where they became part of the popular attraction to tourists with cameras.

A Friend and Sister

A radiant looking Angelina Jolie stepped out Monday night for the Vital Voices Global Leadership Awards held in Washington D.C. Ms Jolie gave the Fern Holland Award to her close friend, Mariane Pearl, wife of slain journalist Daniel Pearl.

Since playing the role of Pearl in A Mighty Heartthe two have become good friends. Maddox, Pax and Adam (Mariane’s son) play together when they can. Jolie told the audience of Mariane’s gift of being a mother and said that Pearl was an example of “courage, hope and tolerance,”. While accepting the award, Pearl returned by saying that Jolie was “a sister”.

Sweet Lady

Angelina Jolie is hiding out at the moment so there is no new information or pictures. However, looking back at Angelina and her much publicized pregnancy one notices when she chose to reveal that she was actually with child.

Jennifer Lopez gave birth to her twins on February 22, 2008 and even though it was speculated, Ms Jolie did not confirm her pregnancy until 2 days later at the Spirit Awards on February 24, 2008.

Coincidence or is Angelina that respectful of a woman that she would let JLo have her media attention with her babies? If so, good for her!
