More on Angelina’s tabloid childcare scandal, plus Pax has an interpretor


Page Six, which always manages to find some new psuedo-expert or angle to exploit in the “Angelina’s a harpie” story, reported some of the details last week of the maybe-issues that the other parents using Angelina’s daycare center have with her.

Both Star Magazine and The National Enquirer have similar details in their Angelina articles this week about how she is using the on-set subsidized daycare at the Warner Brothers lot. Star spins it too far with the title “Angelina Walks Out on Brad! & dumps the kids!” which is just referring to her one-day jaunt to Chicago and the fact that she dare use daycare when she has four nannies at home. There’s also a whole lot of speculation about her relationship with Brad and the fact that it must be suffering.

Parents are presumably outraged that they can’t bring cellphones into the facility and must wait in their cars while Angie picks up and drops off. What’s more is that it’s a highly-desired subsidized daycare, which means that there’s a waiting list and Angelina’s kids are taking up spaces meant for working mothers.

The good news is that Pax has an interpretor that’s with him at all times, which The Enquirer mentions as an aside.

“She and Brad Pitt have more money than God and are using a subsidized facility set up for everyday workers trying to make ends meet.” [said an insider]

“In the 3-,4- and 5-year-old program, which Pax and Maddox attend, there are only 18 spaces for each age group, and there is a waiting list to get in. Most parents wait an average of two years for an openeing – and here’s Angelina breezing in with her kids!”

To make matters worse [Angelina] is taking up full-time spots but only uses them for her children a few hours a day when they are in town, add the insider.

“Angelina usually drops off her kids around 10 a.m. and picks them up around 2 p.m. She could use one of several private facilities catering to celebrity children…

“Other parents are instructed not to look at or talk to Angelina, and she never speaks to any of them.”

And when the star’s youngsters are there, signs are posted warning other mothers not to bring cell phones, so no one can snap a picture of Jolie’s children…

Angelina’s three-year-old son Pax – recently plucked from a Vietnamese orphanage – now finds himself in a confusing world of English-speaking youngsters.

To ease the culture shock, little Pax has a Vietnamese interpretor with him.

[From The National Enquirer print edition, April 16, 2007]

It’s hard to find good daycare for your kids, and in Angelina’s defense Brad was working at Warner Brothers when they started using it and they must trust the people there. Pax is used to being around other children all day at the orphanage, and it’s good for kids to play and socialize. Maybe Angelina should look for another childcare that won’t shaft other children out of a place though. She’s going with what she knows is working for her kids and one can hardly blame her, but it sounds like she needs to be more sensitive to other parents.

If all that is true about Angelina banning cellphones and pictures by non-staff she should can it, but maybe she’s used to people trying to sneak pictures of her children, which are sure to be worth thousands.

At least Pax has an interpretor and is playing with other children during the day. The Enquirer says that both Pax and Maddox get along with the other children at daycare.

Angelina and Maddox are shown in pictures you’ve already seen from the Venice Film Festival in September, 2004. There haven’t been any pictures of Angelina lately so she must be doing something right.

    I don’t think it’s fair that she changed Pax’s name in the first place. I wouldn’t do that to a three year old child I really cared about…They seem to be more handbags then children to her..

  2. Mr. T says:

    Being rich and being a celebrity has its advantages. At the end of the day, leave the parents alone and let them raise their children as they see fit. I am no fan of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston. But being a parent, I know how hard it is to raise children. All I can say is wait till they are teenagers!

  3. countrybabe says:

    I never had an issue with his name. His other names okay. I don’t understand why you would give a Vietnamese kid a Latin name. If she is so glad to be with the kids, why does she need so much daycare and nanny help. Why are these daycares so cheap if they cater to celebrities?

  4. Busy Body says:

    Jen Aniston beat Angelina in women with the sexiest bodies in glamour magazine. Brad must be wondering what he is doing wrong since people always find the woman he is not with sexier or may be he just sucks the sexiness out of them.

  5. JM says:

    The attacks on Angelina are just ridiculous! First, the stories are so full of nonsense and half-truths, who knows what the truth is? Second, as someone mentioned, raising kids and finding good help is really hard (trust me, I know) . . .far be it for us to judge how someone else is doing it.

  6. Iva says:

    Maybe Angelina wouldn’t be attacked it she had told the truth instead of making herself to be some big martyr. Someone tells a big fat lie and you have to start wondering what else they are lying about….

  7. Busy Body says:

    Have you noticed that no ones ever attacked Angelina till she run off with Brad ‘pussywhipped’ pitt and proceeded to do everything in her power to try and humiliate Aniston, any one should have seen this backclash coming. It is rare for the other woman to be good, ask Camilla.

    Angelina had a very good open strategy which she blew. She should have waited for Brad’s marriage to be dissolved, kept him as a very good friend, or even secretly shagged him like she was doing anyway for about a year and at the end of 2006, they would have made it offical and lay low for another year. No interviews, no talking about the relationship.

    But what does she do, before the divorce is finalised, she takes ‘perfect’ family photo shoots with her fellow adulterer, they adopt a child, she is pregnant before the ink is dry on poodle’s divorce papers, then gives a gazillion interviews telling us how she wants to talk to Aniston and what she wears to bed with Mr Pitt. parades children around like ornaments.Were we supposed to like her?

    Her fans should be consoled by the fact that as a sado-masochist, she probably revels in all this hate and dislike.

  8. Iva says:

    Actually, I think a lot of people didn’t like Angelina after running off and marrying BBT while Laura Dern was engaged and living with him.

  9. Busy Body says:

    True, true Eva but back then no one gave a damn because we did not care much who they were. And when she adopted Maddox, every one decided to give her a second chance.

    Like I say, there eare two categories of people in the world, the good and the bad. Good people always do good even if for a moment it seems bad. They rarely have selfish motives and will not hurt another person willingly or knowingly. Usually they are very boring.

    Bad people on the other hand will always be selfish, self seeking and will not hesitate to hurt anyone usually intentially if they stand in their way. Bad people never turn into good people, huh, even their good acts are temporary and eventually turn out to be a furtherance of their bad nature.

    When they hurt people, they don’t care about who their victims, any one will do.

    Angelina is an inherently bad person, even her adoptions are narssistic and for her own selfish motives. Any one could have been Aniston, if Mr and Mrs Smith had been with Affleck, Garner would have been the victim. I am sure her original reason for adopting Maddox was because she wanted to own a person. Her requesting to become the UN ambassador was because she realised acting in tombraider and her mediocor talent would never get her the fame she craved.

    For a while there she got people fooled but not for long. I admit I fell for her Maddox adoption and I even thought he was cute till Angelina said he called Brad ‘Daddy’ now I don’t like him much.

    I know he is a kid, but I never claimed to be a good person did I?

  10. outraged parent says:

    If the daycare story is true, I cannot believe what is happening! Parents have to wait in their car? Can’t speak to her? It goes to show what money “can” buy…..

  11. eva says:

    I agree! If my child was in that daycare I would pull them out! Who are they to tell me who I can and cannot talk to? If a high profile person cannot handle normal day to day functions that some of us must deal with than make other arrangements. I thought I read that she wanted to make friends with other parents?…. Do the children at the center have to look away too?

  12. Anonymous says:

    Hahahaha…you guys are fucken idiots. I cant believe you even believe any of the stories that are printed…fools!

  13. Best of British says:

    Well I can only speaking for myself here but I am no “fucken idiot” and I for one do indeed believe most of what is written about celebrities. There’s never smoke without fire and the rumours that are generated in the press usually always turn out to be true. I could name so many examples but I know that the majority of readers on this site are not “fucken idiots” either and probably agree with me.

    PS .. idiots are people who have to use swear words to emphasise their point and how pathetic when they cant even spell the swear words correctly! Doh.

  14. globular silicone says:

    this is random, but it looks like she has permanent (tatoo) makeup on her lips…they always have this dusty peach kind of color, lipliner and these kinds of little vertical lines especially on her lower lip in the center which is supposed to give emphasis to her really trouty pucker….i think she gets them filled in addition to whatever lips she inherited from her dad.

    also, i think that her brother, james haven might think that somehow he is doing “damage control” for angelina…but he just sounds so totally lame.

  15. Anonymous says:

    I just like to say that

  16. MADMAX says:

    I just like to say that I am so glad to hear that there are so many people out there such Busy Body, Best of British etc who are sick of other people such Anonymous treating celebrities like gods and believing to all that bullshit. so well done and I totally agree with you all.

  17. Friend says:

    Ok…enough is enough already. Thank God she has the means to do what most families wished they could do. Her heart and love is bigger than anyone else in Hollywood. And at the end, she will be remembered for doing GOOD WORKS…..everyone else, well, at least their hair looks good.

  18. Busy Body says:

    Is it me or Brangelina supporters always have similar experiences with Jolie.
    – They kiss their brothers the way she kisses hers.
    – They also fell out with such bad fathers
    -They adopted today and went to work the next day.
    – They adopted 15 year olds and changed their names and it was O.K
    -They had affairs before the ink had dried on their divorce papers.
    -They were porn stars but have since turned into evangelicals and they did not need any psychatric help the time they used to cut themselves.

    Geez… are they sure they are still talking about themselves? You know there was a man who went around saying he was Jesus Christ but he had a bible in his hands so I asked him; ‘then who is that chap in that great book?’. He answered, my impersonator. LOL.
