BRANGELINA

Well no twins today. It’s the 28th already in France. I might as well go out and see a movie. Hmmm, ... this one looks interesting

If you would like that jacket Angelina wears in Wanted, you can go bid for it on Ebay! The money will go to the charity PLAN!T NOW.

While mommy is hitting the big screen again, her little cutie Shiloh will have to wait until Dec. 19 for her official debut. Still, you can get a peak at her in this trailer for “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. Shiloh is the baby in Brad’s lap watching the balloon float away.

In Touch just gave Entertainment Tonight a knock out blow with this picture.

tick, tick, tick, ... now my prediction of June 27th is about to expire.

Actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated $1 million for educational aid to children impacted by the Iraq war in that country and in the United States, a charitable organization said on Wednesday.

The Jolie-Pitt Foundation has given $500,000 to three groups in the war-torn country which will provide aid for some 5,700 children, said the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which is co-chaired by Jolie.

People Magazine has a nice piece where Angelina gives a nice glimpse into parenting all the little Jolie-Pitts.

And don’t worry about Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh feeling left out when the twins arrive. “At the same time we’re expecting two, we have four,” Jolie says, “so my focus now is on the four we have. So every day is just about making sure that their schooling is going right and their manners are intact and we’re disciplining properly and we’re spending enough time with them individually, so they seem special.”

She adds: “That’s a lot of balance when you have a lot of children.”

It is so hard to properly invest your time when you have so many children. Consistency and love is the key. I’m sure they’re not perfect and I’m sure it’s a lot harder than dealing with the paparazzi but it sounds like they’re doing a good job. Time will tell. I have four young ones and I feel the clock ticking away until the fruit of my labor, good and bad, is truly revealed to the world. It’s sobering and scary. I personally don’t believe the line that sometimes (many times?) the parents are not at fault for a wayward child. I totally think the problem lies in not winning their hearts and trust along the way during the short years you have them under your wing.

btw: There’s exactly 1 week left until we see how well my two month old delivery prediction turns out.

Friday is World Refugee Day.

It’s that time of the year again and Angelina has another video message for us all:

What’s amazing is that so many are on the watch for a pair of celebrity twins to be born. Meanwhile, there are currently 67 million people who have been forcibly displaced (2007 year end estimate)!
