Haha, she called Z a smartass? I’m sorry for anyone who doesn’t think that’s funny, it just cause it reminds me of my mom and I when I was little. I was so opinionated at that age as well. One time my mom called me over to her when she was with a friend and asked “What does Mommy call you?” (thinking I’d say sweetie-pie or babyface like she normally did) and I replied calmly, “A pain in the ass…” LOL

Love this family and I think she is a terrific mom! You hold onto those babies Angie!!

I have to agree with Leni, too. Angie DOES get picked on, and not just for carrying her kids. It seems that, in just about every post about her, she gets picked on about something. Not only that, but at least 99 percent of the time it is something that no other celeb would probably be picked on about. Here are just some of the things she gets picked on about:

-Calling Shiloh a “blob” (when it was the interview that suggested it in the first place, not Angie herself!)

-Not loving Shi as much as her adopted kids because she does not hold her as often as she holds them (even though we have seen plenty of pictures of her holding Shi!), mentioned that she was less inclined to feel for her, etc.

-Heading off to Prague to film Wanted only a month or so after Pax’s adoption, and after saying she’d stay home and help him adjust.

-Adopting/having kids so close together.

-Releasing photos of Pax to the media just days after his adoption.

-Calling Z a “smartass”.

and, of course, the classic:

-Breaking up Brad and Jen’s marriage.

Honestly, the only celebs I see criticized and picked on more than Angie are Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

Diana, I have to disagree with you. I do think Angelina gets picked on. I just went down this entire first page and read every comment under pictures of a parent carrying his/her child, over age 2. Not one, not a single one criticized a parent other than Angelina Jolie to “Put those children down and make them walk!!!!”. This covered The Arquettes, Julia Roberts and Danny Moder, The Afflecks, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber who was carrying their 5 1/2 year old Kaia. So I have to agree with leni on this one.

Who cares if she is carrying the kids!!!

Leni – I have to disagree with you, this is not true, EVERY single time they have a picture of parents carrying their kids or having them in a stroller over a certain age, no matter WHO the parent is there is ALWAYS at at least one comment. So while it is annoying that someone always feels the need to criticize something like this, don’t make it out as POOR Angelina she is being picked on.

guess I don’t understand what’s wrong with carrying kiddos. It doesn’t hurt or hinder them in anyway so what’s the big deal I guess?

It seems it is only wrong when Angelina does it… I’ve seen many celebs, with children several years older, holding their kids.

BTW, if you saw the video on TMZ, they are walking up a steep incline, making walking difficult for little ones.

Tee-en.

I love this family. Zahara is so cute with that impression on her face. And Pax looks so cute too. Does anyone know how you pronounce Pax’s second name: Thien?

I almost forgot to add this: Can Zahara get any cuter? She and her sister Shiloh are two of the prettiest celeb babies I have ever seen! They both seem to get cuter everytime we see them!

Meela- Around the time of Shiloh’s birth, Angie and/or Brad mentioned that Zahara suffered from rickets as a baby (remember, she was a very sick little girl when Angie adopted her, and her main problem was malnutrition, which is the main cause of rickets), and recent photos of her show evidence that she is bow-legged in at least one leg as a result. Therefore, she probably cannot walk very well, which is probably why Angie carries her a lot. As for Pax, even though he seems to be adjusting well, I am sure he is still quite clingy (Angie even said that he still gets scared if she’s gone for more than a few hours), and probably wants and needs his mommy to carry him a lot.

Heather- I certainly don’t that Angie looks unhealthy at all. I can’t see a sickly or unhealthy person at all in this picture! And she definently doesn’t look like “skin pulled over bones”. In fact, compared to a lot of other celebs, she actually looks amazingly healthy and not skin-and-bones-thin. As Syd said, Angie has never been a very big person to begin with, and recently she has been through a lot of stress. It’s not that surprising that she’s probably lost a little weight.

She still managed to look beautiful.
