While on the "Larry King Live" show earlier this month, Angelina Jolie declared that she and husband Brad Pitt are doing everything to ensure that their children grow up to be sensitive and kind-hearted. Moreover, the "Tomb Raider" star added that she did not want her children to grow attached to things.
Well I'm sure you all agree that's a really noble attitude, but Angelina is not true to her own words. For instance, baby Shiloh's got a brand new pacifier, but a diamond-encrusted one, that is worth something in the region of $17,000. Hell, that'll make my day, I just hope that Shiloh is equally impressed. Angelina's devotion does not stop there, seeing how she also bought little Zahara three pairs of J Brand jeans for $120 a piece. The little tykes sure live in style.
That may be the showoff side of the tale. The fact is that Brad and Angelina are spending lots of money to ensure that their adopted children remember their national heritage. Now mind you, Zahara is from Ethiopia. Therefore, Brangelina paid a large sum of money to a famous Ethiopian artist for some paintings that they hanged in Zahara's room. Maddox is from Cambodia, so Angelina decorated his room with some pretty expensive Khmer sculptures. Last but not least, Pax's room showcases some contemporary pictures of Vietnam, courtesy of his parents. One could say that Brad and Angelina are trying to immerse their children in each one's individual culture.
So the question is: what's Shiloh's individual culture? Well, Brad chose some photographs he made near their Missouri residence. Go figure.
Angelina also spilled the beans on what her children are allowed to watch on TV and what not. Check this out, y'all: they can only watch the evening news because their parents want them to be aware of world affairs. That's again a very noble feeling, but they're children, for crying out loud! I'm sure that Brangelina watched a bunch of cartoons when they were kids and look how fine they turned up. I agree that nowadays they don't make cartoons as they used to, but that's a bit extreme.
