I'm with OG. about no one following most of us around recording and interpreting each thing we say. And I'm on the same train with anyone else who can see those are three very very loved kids. I think Angelina tends to be analytical and thinks out loud and of course it gets quoted. She says what many people probably think but they just don't say it out loud.

LOL about Green! I was the kid who loved blue, still do, but there were times when I'd lust over my brothers "other" color, especially if it was red.. but I was loyal to blue.. And I think Angelina was probably fearing that she would love her birth child more and was surprised and pleased to find that, nope, she was fully bonded to the two she had and now is growing a bond with Shiloh.

I truly hope so Sea. I have known people personally who take on this 'rescue' attitude with their children who are adopted that they overcompensate and treat their bio children differently. I have also seen it in reverse, where they treat the 'never thought i would have' bio child differently than the child who is adopted.

"You shouldn't have to make any conscious effort to treat one of your children different from the others." IMHO, she's acknowledging that the feelings ARE different for each child...For me, the whole baby to toddler stage was a couple of years of CONSCIOUSLY doing things I was "supposed" to do while much of the time I didn't "feel" how I was supposed to feel. We only had one child b/c I recognized that "nurture" for me is not a "natural" impulse...I truly love my DS (and nephews), but holding babies has NEVER made me want one. Again, IMHO, I think making a "conscious" effort shows that she is trying to do what's best for all her children...which is so much better than the "unconscious" parenting I see so often in my students' lives where I wish a bit more thought was put into their rearing.

Robin Williams sure liked her in her tight short dress! Okay, why is it these ladies who have no boobs or ugly saggy boobs insist on wearing sharply low-cut to the waist V front tops revealing that their bare chests and boobs are ugly? Ackkk! And with no bling bling to take away from the stark barness, it just looks horrible IMO.

Oh Gracie, I've wondered the same so many times. I just don't get that flat, bare look. I finally got to watch the Kennedy Honors show and I simply adored the top of Caroline Kennedy's dress.. it was interesting and just great looking and classy and totally covered up.

Somewhere in my lifetime I heard that men like to see women covered up and say it's sexier to wonder what's covered up. Caroline Kennedy had a great teacher in fashion decorum. Her mother chose her own designers well, probably because she had such a good sense of style to begin with, and I'm sure it naturally rubbed off on her daughter. I saw that show and Caroline did have a lovely dress, yes classy. (I didn't care for Dolly Parton's hairstyle. Just not my taste, I guess.) Hallie Berry is just gorgeous, even when she is being photographed on the sly with her tummy a little plump. Maybe she just had lunch and was stuffed! My generation attempted to have flatter tummies. Isn't it okay now for women to have that plump belly?

I wasn't wild about the large bottom of Caroline's dress, odd silhouette but wow did she look great behind that podium and what a great look! LOL! well Dolly would be the first to say she has no taste! Remember her role model for "look" was the town hooker, so she has said. But she is true to herself and unlike certain real estate moguls, doesn't take herself overly seriously, but in reality she's quite and astute (and generous) busnesswoman. I first became aware of Dolly WAY back when she did her first interview with Barbara Walters. Barbara has said she went into the chat not expecting to be impressed and came out of it VERY much a fan and predicted that Dolly was going to succeed and go far and she did. And if you compare her hair to all the years of the gigantic wigs, much improved!

Bit late to the party here, but want to toss in my 2 cents (Canadian) here regarding Angelina Jolie's baby comments. Two things came to mind: 1) In the bad foster-home I was in, we were treated second-rate compared to her own children. It was meanspirited and obvious. In the good foster-home I was in, the foster mother was more lenient with us and harder on her own kids, and I told her it was the same problem, just reversed and instead of us being miserable and resentful her kids were. But her comment was that her kids should know better, and we'd had a raw deal, etc. Sounds to me like Jolie means well, and is being brutally honest, and she is taking a page from my good foster mother. (Altholugh like I pointed out to the good one, it's not fair if the punishments and expectations are unequal in EITHER direction.) And frankly.... 2) ...thank heaven's Angelina Jolie's not having the postpartum suicide-murder depression that Brooke Sheilds had when she couldn't bond with her baby cuz she was so depressed and that she'd come close to driving them both into a wall with the car... I about died when I heard Sheilds was preggers again - I was worried sick for the kids. BUT she's done well with meds and has had a GREAT bonding experience with this baby... or so we are told, and it seems to be true. Anyhow, I cut Angelina a lot of slack - there are TWO parents, and perhaps, hopefully, Shilo will be Daddy's girl... while mommy is busy with the other two kidlets, which should even things out.

I gather we don't even have the entire quote here anyway and she didn't SAY she wasn't evening things out, just growing the bond with Shiloh.

It's there for 2006, too. I'll paste it: 1. Britney Spears and Paris Hilton (tie) ("Two peas in an overexposed pod! Style-free and fashion deprived... ladies and gentlemen, the 'SCREAMGIRLS' have arrived!") 2. Camilla Parker-Bowles ("The Duchess of Dowdy strikes again! In feathered hats that were once the rage, she resembles a parakeet from the Jurassic age. A royal wreck.") 3. Lindsay Lohan ("From adorable to deplorable, Lindsay is tragically trapped in fashion's fast lane.") 4. Christina Aguilera ("La Diva Christina is a dazzling singer, But she puts good taste through the wardrobe wringer! All crass, no class!.") 5. Mariah Carey ("Mariah the fashion pariah has finally found her stylistic niche … let's crown her the Queen of Catastrophic Kitsch".) 6. Paula Abdul ("Wrapped in floral fiascos that grow moldier by the hour . . . She's a lumpy stem on a bumpy flower. A fallen fashion idol.") 7. Sharon Stone (""It's clear Sharon's misplaced her fashion gift. An over-the-hill Cruella de Vil - after a seismic shift!") 8. Tori Spelling ("All chills and no thrills, Tori's down and out in Beverly Hills! She's definitely under fashion duress - positive proof that more is really less!") 9. Sandra Oh ("Layered lunacy - from toes to nose.") 10. Meryl Streep ("From Streep you could weep, her beauty of a career cannot be denied, but that beast of a wardrobe is pure mother of the bride."))

In feathered hats that were once the rage, she resembles a parakeet from the Jurassic age. A royal wreck.") LOL. I agree, Mr. Blackwell. Speaking of the royals . . . makes me think of Kate Middleton. Now the paparazzi are after her. I feel so sorry for her in that respect.

And let's give props to those Mr. Blackwell liked: Hits, not misses And, as usual, Mr. Blackwell gives nods to those celebrated women who were Fabulous Fashion Independents for 2006. They include: Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie, Helen Mirren, Barbra Streisand, Beyoncé, Nancy Pelosi (new speaker of the House), Princess Charlotte of Monaco, Heidi Klum, Katie Holmes and Marcia Cross (pregnant with twins).

http://tinyurl.com/y3x79w scroll all the way down ('til get to beach) then go to the middle of the page. the white house w/blue roof was Suzanne Sommers (not positive though). the three to the right of hers were destroyed too. (24414, 24408, 24402, 24308 Malibu Rd.) the above link from the California Coastal Records Project website.
