I dont think Zahara is an introvert at all.Shes probably the most outgoing of them all when they`re at home, out of the spotlight. But the papparazzi scares her so maybe shes thinking something in the lines of “If I give them the angry look everytime they photograph me hopefully they eventually will think I`m ugly or boring and leave me alone”.

Gina- Z may very well be an introvert, but I think saying that she may “hide from the spotlight” forever is a bit of an exageration. Unless she is an extreme introvert, that probably won’t be the case.

My mother is very much an introvert, but she doesn’t try to “hide” from the outside world. In fact, there are plenty of public places (bookstores, for one) that she actually enjoys going to!

Brooke you’re talking in absolute terms. The primary topic of discussion is what method is used to get the photo. Are they taken of a scared child surrounded by strangers with a packlike mentality or taken in a safe environment at best or at worst an environment where the shots are taken with a telephoto lense? You equated a paparazzi photo with that of a photoshoot and I disagreed and gave my reasons as to why. Please point out where in my post I stated I did not agree with the paparazzi at all. Yeah, you can’t.

brooke, if you notice i admitted to loving these pictures in my first post/the first post. but i do question whether or not it’s worth it when you hear about these kids being traumatized. and in my response to your post i really was just questioning you justifying of the paparazzi by saying that at least zahara is somehow “better off” than she would have been. i still don’t get how her being adopted has any bearing on whether or not the paparazzi should follow her around.

Joeanne and sarah if you don’t agree with the paparazzi at all, than you shouldn’t be visiting a site called celebrity baby blog which puts 85% of pictures the paparazzi takes lol. Other than the photoshoots when a baby is born, most of the other pictures we see of celebrities and their children are at playgrounds, getting ice cream, getting their kids from school, etc. If it wasn’t for paparazzi they would be no site like this. You can’t pick or choose when you want pics taken or not, or when you freely wanna do a photoshoot. Your not private for one thing, and not another, it doesn’t work that way

Children liking or disliking the Pap is a personality thing. Zee may be an introvert and may stay like that forever (hiding from the spot light) I bet most of you thought it was cute when Angelina said that Shiloh waves to the Pap, I know I did. It will be interesting to see how the twins react in a couple of years because if you think about it Maddox, Pax and Zee seem afraid/annoyed by the Pap and Shiloh is not. But just remember, Paps are intrusive because WE want them to be.

I don’t blame Zahara one bit for not taking to having cameras in her face constantly while out and about with her parents.

But I still find that most of the beautiful shots of them out and about do seem to be taken when it’s with a telephoto zoom lens. I mean, I know none of the papz is going to stop taking them, but I’m like Angelina, if they’re going to do it, use that and keep the distance. It benefits them both. They get their shot, and the children are happy and not bothered or stressed. And a few admirers, like me, can enjoy a beautiful photo without feeling guilty. Nothing’s wrong with a little compromise sometimes.

But, anyway, I love the interview. They sound like such a wonderful family, and seem to be adjusting well to the six tots in their house, not that they wouldn’t. And I love the new nickname for Zahara. Zee Zee is adorable for her, just as adorable as she is.

Why no attention to the fact that Angelina has gone on record to say she has bought her seven year old a knife?

brooke, i’m wondering how your reasoning makes any sense. are you saying that it’s ok that zahara feels scared and anxious because she could have been worse off? her being adopted does not make her any less entitled to feeling safe and secure. i’m sure that when zahara grows up she will be very appreciative of everything her family has materially but that is no justification for her being stalked right now.

p.s. and i’m pretty sure that brad and angelina think that they’re the lucky ones for having zahara in their life, not the other way around.

Judy, I thought the same thing! I hate to play favorites, but Zahara has always amused me with ‘The Look’, it’s just too cute on such a little girl. She always stood out for me as the feisty one. I never throught she would be the one who’s most frightened:/ That’s sad and I agree on the long lense thing.
