Humanitarian Angelina Jolie and her miserable kept-man Brad Pitt are planning on traveling to Ethiopia in a couple of months to adopt another kid, bringing their tally of non-bio children to a nice round four. A source close to the couple says they feel it's time for daughter Zahara to have a fellow African to bond with, plus they think another kid will help strengthen their strained relationship. Said the source:
Angie in particular feels very strongly that while Shiloh will grow up seeing the family resemblance between herself and her natural parents, and Maddox and Pax will feel a connection through their birthplaces, Zahara has no such close-knit bond. ... They hope that by finding an Ethiopian brother or sister - preferably sister - for her, it will help Zahara feel more comfortable and happy in her own skin. ... Both Brad and Angelina are incredibly excited about the latest addition to the Jolie-Pitts and if anything will bring them closer together, then this is it.
Yes, I'm sure Brad is incredibly excited - cause he always looks it in the pictures. Let's be honest - this has nothing to do with what Brad wants or thinks is best. This has to do with Angie having some kind of supernatural hold over him. There's no other explanation for why this guy would allow himself to become the unhappy creature he's become.
And as to the whole Zahara needs an African friend to play with...sorry, but I'm tired of rehashing Angie's crazy logic when it comes to maintaining the racial balance of the family. Angie is obviously acutely conscious of race. Does this make her some kind of racist? I don't know. I just think it's curious that a woman who portrays herself as an embracer of humanity is so hung-up on what color her kids are. Seems to me that they're all Americans now, or citizens of the Western world at the very least. So what difference does it make that Pax and Maddox both happen to have been born in Southeast Asia? How much of that do you think either of them remembers at this point? Their lives are all about fast food and video games and having their picture taken with that creepy lady who insists they call her mommy now. They've left the rice paddies and the mud huts far behind - so, they should be able to relate just as easily with white American kids as they do with other Asian kids. Same for Zahara. Assuming Zahara is able to relate to anyone in a peaceful way. Frankly, the kid looks angry. I hope whoever Angie and Brad decide to adopt for her can handle abuse. Maybe Angie can teach the new kid how to use a knife.
