Like daughter, like mother?

When Shiloh Jolie-Pitt saw her mom Angelina Jolie in the trailer for Salt, the tot with the pixie-cut had some pointers.

"Shiloh wanted me to get my hair cut short," Jolie told reporters Wednesday at a press conference in Cancun, Mexico for the action flick.

Jolie, 35, is in Mexico for film promotional duties with her four eldest: Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, Zahara, 5, and Shiloh, 4. The tykes saw the film's trailer for the first time in their hotel, Jolie explained.

"Half of them were uninterested," the actress said. Her second eldest was concerned when he saw Jolie get roughed up in one shot.

"Pax got upset because someone was trying to hurt his mom. He saw [my] feet wrapped and he got mad. But then I explained to him that I'm fine."

She added: "They're very confused, to be honest. I think they don't quite know what to think. Even the change of hair color is confusing for them," she said of her blonde locks in the flick. Where were the kids during her meet and greet with the press? "They're in the pool," Jolie explained.

The star also dished on love Brad Pitt, who stayed behind in L.A. with twins Vivienne and Knox, nearly 2. Pitt, 46, was "very supportive" of her taking on the role after taking a year off to have the twins.

"We met doing this style of film," she noted, referring to the 2005 action flick Mr. and Mrs. Smith. (Pitt was married to Jen Aniston at the time.) "He knows that in some way the action of it is fun for me. We have fun together doing kind of physical things, whether it's my training for this or motorcycle practice ... it was fun."

"I was sitting in my nightgown in bed feeling very very girly and very soft," she recalled. "I sat with [the script] on the bed...I said I think I found something that will help me get kind of fired up again and physical again."

"Anything I was ready to do he was going to jump behind. But he was happy for me."

    why isn't usmag comparing this outfit to the one jen famously sported a while ago? it's the same colour and length after all! and look how she tries to bring up the whole jen, brad, angie thing by saying "We met doing this style of film", f@cking fame-wh0re, does she not realize at that time brad was married!? i hate this exploiter, notice how she publicizes all her humanitarian trips even when no funding or input is needed from the public? for example look at shakira and david beckam, they only publicize their trips when the public CAN contribute and make a difference. they are the true philanthropists

  • July 04, 2010 - 3:50am nasra

    Go Angie Go Girl! Love your dress/colour.

  • July 03, 2010 - 6:18pm LOL

    Hey, she could have spoken about movie Changeling in the interview, which might have reminded, her as oscar nominee. ok it is not an action movie, there is a movie 'wanted', which is an action movie. No, she is prepared to speak about old movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Are you kidding, she has no intention in bring up this movie's name. She is so calculative and manipulative. she just wants to bring up 'triangle' to promote this movie.

  • July 03, 2010 - 12:47pm anony

    sorry what i meant is that i don't think her body is toned above the knee area, she is really skinny and very sickly looking. i'm not saying she has to gain a lot of weight but she could really do with a few extra pounds!

  • July 03, 2010 - 12:40pm anony

    @ truthbtold says "(you'll see her tummy again in Salt)"............... excuse me?! they retouched her you dumbo! makeup, lighting and the nerd behind the computer made her look good! she has no butt or curves and theres a reason why her dress stops just below the knee, because that's where most women are thinnest

  • July 03, 2010 - 12:35pm anony

    shiloh was right, her hair is too long and weighs her down! she looks hagged and her hair looks like it needs a good wash and trim!

    I've read some of the comments and wonder at the ignorance and total failure to research a topic before commenting. A few facts you can find on the net. 1. Angelina's body post pregnancy - long, slim legs (height 5.7), perky derrier (noted by many when she was filming The Tourist - wearing casual, black pants that hugged that part of her anatomy)2. Ange has firm, taut abs with no visible scars or marks (you'll see her tummy again in Salt) ceasarians today are almost keyhole surgery, a tiny scar not unlike an appendix scar that is barely visible even when naked because it's beneath the tummy)3. Ange has no visible strechmarks, they are preventable and also able to be rectified - Ange obviously followed some very good advise)- Kate Hudson, Nicole Richi, Christine Aguleria - to name a few, similarly have great post bub bods with no sign of ever having been pregant. 4. Angelina often wears white and given she was in Mexico when she wore the white dress, her choice of dress is very much Angelina style (yes she did outshine the many who have similarly worn a white dress, are colours patented now?:0) 5. Angelina has frequently spoken of about how much she enjoys doing action films and always cites Mr & Mrs Smith as the film she loved doing the most and before Salt even started shooting she has consistently said she was keen to 'get physical' after giving birth to the twins and how she felt so feminine after giving birth to the twins (not a new comment so describing this as targeting anyone or it being a manipulative comment just doesn't fly). I really encourage you to check the facts before hurtling abuse at my comment, sadly I doubt you will. Angelina is so articulate, watch her in an interview about global issues, she doesn't need a prepared one liner, unlike many I could name.

    Angelina is an incredible beauty and looks like a girl in her 20s. Her skin is flawless, no amount of makeup can create this look! Angelina rocks the lit white dress, she is young and her body smoking. She is the consumate professional and part of her commitment to her work is promoting the film, yet even this benign behavior is labelled manipulative, seriously some of you should be seeing psychiatrists.

  • July 03, 2010 - 5:41am You prove it that you identity with her !!!

    July 02, 2010 - 11:51pm jen Says: Miss piggy skankniston in the prowl for a new pretend boyfriend.!!! Lay off the botox maniston!! Why iss her face swollen??? Gross!! And so ffuucking orange!! She's fuglyer than evver!! All that collagen ain't gonna make your razor thin lips like angie's! It just looks like you've been sucking too much ddiick!! Maniston you will ALWAYS be the woman who brad pitt dumped for angelina jolie. And also dumped by: vince vaughn, paul sculfor, johnn mayer(not once, but twice) gerard butler, and the future ones to come... old hag.--------------------------------------- It is obvious. if you read your post above "but in a lot of ways I identify with her, of course I'm not rich or famous but growin went thru similarities as her. " U R A TOTAL PSYCHO, YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR MEDCINE ON TIME.

  • July 03, 2010 - 1:56am LOL

    I would praise OCTO MOM . 14 in total.

  • July 03, 2010 - 12:20am jen

    She looks satunning!! Gorgeous like always. I love her body. I thinks as women, its a miracle what our bodies do for another life. Angelina pregnant looks beautiful, I never thougt that would ever happen, but love can change the world. And it changed her. I could never compare myself to this lady, but in a lot of ways I identify with her, of course I'm not rich or famous but growin went thru similarities as her. Anywho... angie is great!! Love her!!

  • July 02, 2010 - 7:27pm Well

    She looks lighter and happier here. Hopefully she is over her dark dagger loving days of blood and evil rituals. She was messed up. But she seems happy here and hopefully the kids have calmed her down.

  • July 02, 2010 - 6:55pm UN goodwill Ambassador.

    i would say Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, Jesse James h@@ker/lover had more self respect than Angelina. she at least said she did not know that he was married when she hooked up with him. Here, the UN goodwill ambassador, Angelina again and again confirms she hooked up with Brad when he was married.

  • July 02, 2010 - 6:41pm Pathetic angelina !!

    US mag had written, few months back, that Brad called Jen Pathetic for printing her photo in architectural digest. (later G.Butler did it. No one called him anything.) Who knows, if it is true. If it is true, he should call his so called soulmate PATHETIC for bringing up Mr. & Mrs. Smith comment now, here to prove to the public that she is a WH@RE, for promoting her new movie. And she says she allowed her young children to watch that violent, action movie.

  • July 02, 2010 - 6:17pm JM

    How pathetic. Her career must really be in the toilet if she has to dig up the tired controversy about the movie they "met" on. It's also an intentional dig. That triangle made her career so she's trying to keep it going. She uses her private life for headlines when she needs it then whines about tabloid attention. What a pathetic phony

  • July 02, 2010 - 6:01pm Lee

    Is there nothing this woman won't exploit? Everything she does and says is so calculated. She's trying to play up the mother image and appear "softer" (in my nightgown feeling very girly and soft? seriously seriously lame) but instead she just sounds like a babbling moron who rehearsed this lame little prepared speech.
