Who's the boss? Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is!
In a new interview with British mag Stylist, Angelina Jolie once again defends her daughter's buzzed-about tomboy style.
"It's not my choice," Jolie, 35, claims of her and Brad Pitt's eldest biological child, who favors polos and pants over frilly dresses.

"I have a very strong willed four-year-old girl who tells me what she wants to wear and I let her be who she is," the Salt actress says.
She adds: "I think children should wear what they want and express themselves, so we give them different options of things."

As an example, Jolie mentions Zahara, her adopted 5-year-old daughter: "Zahara dresses very much like a girl, very pink and flowery, very feminine."
The mother of six also gives new details on the origins of Shiloh's iconic pixie haircut. "Shiloh cried and said, 'Please cut my hair off, I don't want to have long hair.'" Jolie recounts.

"I'm not going to leave it long because somebody thinks I should," she says "I want to do what's in her head and what's in her heart is to dress like that. I think it's beautiful."
Another controversial topic? The beginning of her romance with Pitt -- which most date to the set of their 2005 flick, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, when Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston.
"It didn't begin on the film set," she insists of the romance. "We became friends on the film set, but [the relationship] began after."
How did she know Pitt, now 46, was the one? "At a certain age, having gone through enough experiences, I think you know. It wasn't courageous, it was more comforting to have found my family."

And now that they have such a large brood of kids -- which also includes sons Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, and 2-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox -- they have to be strategic about their alone time.
"[We] have to schedule it," she confides. "We don't normally have anyone spend the night with our family, so once every week or two weeks we'll ask somebody to spend the night, so we can go and be alone together. We just go to another part of the house and lock the door."
Tell Us What You Think
288Mrs. Boyd? I hope that is how you spell it. You are right and ignor the idiots on site. It is either Angie herself or her crazy fans that think she is God. Funny you ACT on tv and she is not that good at it the only movies of her that do good is when she is naked, it gets the perves off. They dont think about how many people she's been with and std's. I have seen pic's of her having sex with animals, women, family (her brother)cutting herself and her lovers, breaking up of at least 3 marriages for fact and when tell all book is read apparently there were many more married men....she is into weird sh**i*(*t. You cannot win an agruement with any of the loonies your wasting your time.The half way smart people KNOW she is SCUM. The rest will come to a head. You always get found out. KARMA. You always have to pay for the bad you do.
She means breaking up and tearing up another family to create her own little world. Why does she not have any friend girls? Let me tell you it is not because she has tattoos many woman have them yet still have friends. Think about that one. At least Jenn has friends both male and female. She is making an awful name for herself. Just like the romance did not start til after filming.I watched her myself the words come straight from the horse mouth she could not "wait to get to work" and spending time alone in the trailers a lot during filming then tricking her freaking kid into calling pitt daddy cause she knows he wanted that. jen and brad were the "golden couple" of hollywood because they completed each other and when they look at each other you can still feel the tenion they have regardless what people say. Rather they end up together or not dont know but man those two look perfect together. Aj and pitt just dont look right together. She ought to go back to Billy he loves crazy women. Jen may not be "crazy" but she is real and fun.They just have very different life styes. I chose red for the blood she sprews out on families she rips apart.
Last word, when your movie grosses over 100 Million on your name alone, you can carry a movie! You're an uninformed idiot! Also, ANGIE ROCKS!! BEAUTY< BRAINS< COMPASSION= the whole package. Any man's dream!
HEY PFC BOYD, instead of worrying about how other woman encourage their children to be individuals, why don't you worry about how to create a unique child of your own. all mothers of the world have their way of teaching and training their children to be the voices of tomorrow, so why don't you lay off and let her do her own thing. and instead of gripping about angelina, how about you worry about how you can help out your local frg to support your unit! obviously as a military spouse you have way too much time on your hands, since you're writing on an important holiday. so lets just hope your husband is deployed or on misson, i'd hate to think you care more about gossip then your own man.
why r everyone getting so upset? can't you see what she's doing? she's changing everything she can with her no care attitude - from cutting, smooching her brother, to become agnostic, to run around the world thinking she's God himself, letting her kids run amock changing the rules of etiquette which the Philospher's spent centuries on perfecting our culture's and societies to have a code. JOLIE DONT HAVE A CODE BUT ONE OF DEFILING EVERY ORDER THAT IS STANDING. She's the rot setting into your souls and you can applaud her for that. Words like insest and besteality will probably also take a turn in that nest she's feathering. i think this is one eviil puppy (the typos are on purpose) and i think that Mrs Boyd is not insane to hold up PUBLIC DECENCY! In Africa we dont allow our children to be indecent becoz of their wills. There is a certain living code everyone must abide to - Jolie is trashing the US values that Rooseveldt & Co tried to instill. im so sorry, but it really sickens me to see how Jolie is idolized by the vaccuous millions. and she is laffing at all of you - you believe she dont know how to use a computer but knows it all? come one, who's stupid brains is she picking at!!! wake up ppls, wake up!!!! oh ps, makes me wonder why poor little Suri was so badly picked on ?!?!?!?!?!!!!!
Gosh i hate Angelina so much...she doesnt even take care of her kids she only has all those kids for publicity.... She's a TRASHY DIKE....TEAM ANISTON BABY!
Salt dropped to number eight in three weeks... Angie can no longer carry a movie. there will be no awards for best man played by a women, there will be no sequels, and lastly the investors have lost millions of dollars..
I Agree With Angie In Letting The Kidss Dress With Tha Clothes Thay Want To Wear!!
Boyd is messed up with the Angelina hatred. I didn't realize that she spent time bashing Angelina on Memorial Day. Shame on her for not celbrating her husband and wasting her time on these threads. I guess that speaks to what little character she has. I feel sorry for her family.
lol sorry but i agree with pfc boyd. when i was a little girl, my parents wouldn't allow me to swim with boys trunks in my relatives homes and public places even though i wanted to! it doesn't make you a bad parent, in fact it makes you a good parent for instilling basic disciplines like that in your child's life. like another post said, if shiloh didn't want to go to school either, i guess angelina would allow it too. miss jolie is also a liar, she states that the affair didn't begin on set, yet while they stopped filming paparazzi shots showed them holding hands, crewmen (incl mr julia roberts) said they went making-out into angelina's trailer. she has a history of doing this sh!t to her fellow women. no wonder brad doesn't leave her alone while filming with johnny depp! she is a lying manipultive snake trying to pass herself off as a good-mother and humanitarian. well good people don't do the disgusting sh!t she does
Boyd is the most anti Angelina poster on here. For someone who hates Angelina she sure spends all of her time hating on any post related to Angelina. Even Memorial day when she should have been celebrating her husband and his job she spent hours on these boards just posting nasty stuff.
people should quit beating around the bush and say what they really want to say and that is, they think shilo is a little lesbian.. which is shamefull. she is a child, plus boy toys are more fun. they should stop
*TOPLESS IS TRASH is what that should read.
Yeah that is WHY when the story was up EVERYONE posting was ANGRY about her being topless so much so that US WEEKLY STOPPED ALLOWING COMMENTS! Yet YOU and your INVISIBLE MILLIONS think I'm trash? No sorry ANYONE who would allow their daughter to be in PUBLIC is trash! Oh and a LIL FYI SIGNS SAY NO SHIRT, NO SHOES, NO SERVICE for a REASON!!!!! Those signs are EVERYWHERE!
Wow, Mrs. Pfc. Boyd, your response just proved how consumed with Jolie you are. It is not right for a girl to be topless in public? Whose brainless opinion is that? Yours? Millions would disagree with that, and they would also be the ones who believe that you are trash.
FYI LEAVING 1 COMMENT IS NOT "CONSUMED WITH HOLIE". Why anyone with a brain would be "consumed" by that... "WOMAN" is disturbing!
A prude no. It is called THERE ARE TO MANY CHILD PERVERTS IN THE US FOR GIRLS TO BE TOPLESS!!! AND BTW DO NOT TELL ME WHAT TO DO WHEN MY CHILDREN ARE AT A THING CALLED SCHOOL. MAYBE YOU EUROTRASH DO NOT KNOW WHAT SCHOOL IS BUT IN THE U.S.A KIDS GO TO SCHOOL TO LEARN. MY COMMENT WAS IN REGARDS TO THE PEOPLE SAYING THAT CONTROLLING WHAT YOUR KIDS WEAR IS BAD PARENTING WHEN OBVIOUSLY IT IS NOT! IT IS ALSO NOT RIGHT FOR A GIRL TO BE TOPLESS IN PUBLIC. AGAIN MAYBE EUROTRASH SEES IT AS OK BUT HERE THERE ARE WAY TO MANY CHILD PERVERTS OUT THERE THAT WOULD GET OFF ON IT AND TRY TO HARM THE CHILD!
Angie has clearly gotten under Mrs. Pfc Boyd's skin. I love it. By the way, Mrs. Boyd, in Europe little girls do run around topless and it's ok. Just because you are a prude doesn't mean everybody has to live by your standards. I can't stand you as much as you can't stand Angelina. But I tolerate you. You should learn to tolerate other people too. You will eventually, I think, with a little therapy. Take your meds and go tend to your autistic child before I call social services on you for child neglect because you are too consumed with Angelina Jolie.
Don't you just get the feeling that angelina thinks that she's better than everyone else? lol if it wasn't for her seducing brad away from his A-listed, american-sweetheart wife, no one would have gave a rats ass about her in the first place!
she would look nice if it wasn't for her massive fish lips and square jaw. pics of her without makeup are revolting though, she's all photoshopped here. i once read one angie fan bashing jen for appearing on countless magazines, saying that "angie doesn't do that because she doesn't care about fame" lol that's a joke, this woman is very much in love with herself and her public image
