Star Kid: Shiloh Borrows Big Sis’s Shoes

SunnyChanel — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 02:31:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt along with daughters Zahara and Shiloh were doing something that mere mortals are apt to partake in, they went shopping. While in Long Island, the Pitt/Jolie clan picked up some groceries at the Stop & Shop and were kind enough to pose for photos and sign autographs along the way.

Shy Shiloh, who hid behind her blankey, sported a pair of big sis Zahara’s shoes - the silver and black Naturio Nat 7703 sparkly Mary Janes she was spotted wearing a couple of months ago. Or perhaps the girls like to match and they each have a pair? If you want in on the action, you can pick up set of these Velcro closing, thick rubber soled sturdy Mary Janes from Pepperlime right here for $50.

Don’t mess with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s daughter Zahara. Her sly and confident glare says “Yeah, I’m tough”, but also she’s manages to pull off some major cuteness at the same time, especially with a this pair of sparkly girly maryjanes.

Here Zahara wears a pair of Naturino Nat 7703s in silver glitter. These sturdy glittered fabric maryjanes have a Velcro closure and a thick rubber sole. You can pick up a pair of Piperlime here for $50.

SunnyChanel — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 06:21:00 GMT

While in Washington D.C. when mommy makes a movie and daddy is done meeting with the president, the Pitt/Jolie girls go shopping. Brad and Angelina’s daughter Shiloh was spotted leaving a boutique with a blue horned creature in her hands and a pair of old school Vans on her feet. Shiloh took a step out in a pair of Vans Kids Authentic lace up sneakers in the Multi Monkey Pattern. You can pick up a pair from Zappos.com for $33 here.

Star Kid: Brad & Angelina Take the Kids to The Little Mermaid

SunnyChanel — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 20:30:00 GMT

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are on Broadway! No, they’re not starring in a revival of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf, they took most of the brood out to an evening at the theater. This super star couple took 5-year old Pax, 7-year old Maddox, 4-year-old Zahara and 2 ½ year-old Shiloh to Disney’s stage production of The Little Mermaid.

When leaving, I’m sure most kids would spy the jam-packed gift shop and sing a rendition of “look at this stuff, isn’t it neat.” No telling if the Pitt/Jolie gang bought any show merch, but if I had my pick I’d go with the Dinglehopper Fork Brush. A perfect way to tame your own Little Mermaid’s mane. You can pick one up from the Playbill store here for $10.50.

Star Baby: How Does Brad Pitt Schlep Knox?

SunnyChanel — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 18:30:00 GMT

That superstar duo Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sure know how to make cute babies. This ultra glamorous and gorgeous clan showed off the newest fruit of their loins in Toyko. The twins don’t get out much, as you can tell by the stunned look on baby Pitt.

So how does Papa Pitt carry little paparazzi fodder Knox? In something that us mere mortals commonly use, the BabyBjörn Baby Carrier Original. Here Brad Pitt utilizes the chocolate brown version of the ever-popular baby transporter, which you can pick up from Amazon on sale for $56.16 (regularly $79.95).

Storksak: Angelina Loved Hers

Cathy Hale — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 18:00:00 GMT

Wanna transport diapers just like Angelina did in 2006? Okay, okay... it might not be breaking news, but a good diaper bag is a good diaper bag, right? Classics are classic for a reason. Angelina was spotted carrying a Storksak Emily Diaper Bag in People Magazine a few years ago. In my opinion, this is still a very cool diaper bag. Then again, I'm a sucker for functional metallics on sale. Anyway, this bronze beauty has a built-in insulated bottle holder, roomy pockets (and lots of 'em!), detachable clip for keys, detachable bag, padded changing mat and more. The inside features a wipe-clean lining too. It retails for $175 at BlissLiving.

What to Buy the Jolie-Pitt Kids for Christmas

SunnyChanel — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 22:00:00 GMT

Christmas time must be pretty zany around the Jolie-Pitt household. Not only will they all be making each other hand crafted presents (see Angelina & Brad are Christmas Crafters) but you know there will an ample amount of presents for all six of their kids under the tree. To help in this the busy time, I’ve come up with a list of presents for each of the Jolie-Pitt brood, or for your own little Pax, Maddox or Shiloh.

For Maddox – 7 year old
Military Dress-Up set
Maddox has a fascination with all things to do with war, weapons and battle. This Military Dress-Up set that includes a jacket, pants, flak jacket and helmet would be perfect for those stealth missions in New Orleans, New York City or their villa in the French countryside. And it’s on sale for $7.99 (regularly $24.99) from JC Penney’s here.

For Pax – 5-years old
The Lego Creator Beach Set
He gives the presence of being calm, collected and with some of the down to earth qualities of Daddy Pitt. Following in Brad Pitt’s foot steps, he can build some houses just like his dad does in New Orleans. The Lego Creator Beach House set includes the blocks to create a house, apartment building or café. You can pick up one from Amazon here for $138.95. It is for ages 8-12 but Dad has experience helping build so he can lend a hand.

Zahara – 3 years old
Juicy Couture Purse
Zahara is quite the little lady. She has the demeanor of a world weary sophisticate. We’ve seen her out and about with her own little mini purses, once even with one that matched moms. A good gift for this gal on the go would be Juicy Go Go Girl Velour and Rhinestone kid sizes Tote. It’s chic but still a wee bit silly and perfect for this little jet setter. $125 from Saks.

Shiloh – 2
Peter Pan Book
According to papa Brad Pitt, Shiloh will only response to be called Jonathan or Michael, the names of the two brothers from the classic Peter Pan. A perfect gift for this kid who loves to visit Neverland would be this Peter Pan pop up book from Simon and Schuster. And really, who doesn’t love a pop up book? $20.99 from Barnes and Noble

Twins: Viviene and Knox
Thing 1 Thing 2 Set
There ought to be a rule that every twin should have some sort of Dr. Suess Thing 1 and Thing 2 branded something or other. Here Viviene and Know can totally Thing it up. This set comes with a bodysuits, footed sleepers, bibs and Thing 1 and Thing 2 plush toys. The hard part will be trying to figure out who’s Thing 1 and who’s Thing 2. $79.99 here.

Star Kid: It’s Skull Time with Angelina and Maddox!

SunnyChanel — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 01:18:00 GMT

On route to a local toy store in New Orleans, Angelina Jolie was snapped taking her oldest son, 7-year-old Maddox, to pick up some goodies. Maddox stepped out in a pair of Converse Skidgrip World Skulls slip-ons. Yeah, they look a whole lot like a pair of Vans, but any kind of Slip-ons is good for the kiddies. Easy on and easy off is so the way to go. You can get your own skull adorned sneakers here.

Star Baby: Angelina Jolie’s Kids Like to Dress Her In Diapers!

SunnyChanel — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 19:40:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie’s kids like to dress her in diapers! Well, not the mom and superstar Angelina herself, that would be a wee bit odd and pretty darn creepy. No, actually they like to put diapers on the Tigress doll, the character for which she voiced, from the film Kung Fu Panda. In Los Angeles for the release party for the DVD of the film, Jolie said about the movie “My kids do love it. They are very, very proud. They have mom dolls everywhere. They have the Tigress. They love Tigress. They have a big Tigress doll that they keep putting diapers on! They love Tigress!”

Glad to hear their love for mommy comes in many forms. To get your own Angelina Tigress doll you can go here and get one for $10.97 here (on sale!). And can you believe how amazing Angelina looks for just recently having twins!

Star Baby: Get Carried Away with Angelina Jolie

SunnyChanel — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 18:15:00 GMT

How does Angelina Jolie, quite glamorously I may add, carry one of her young twins? In a Belle Baby Black Carrier. As shown in one of the now infamous cover feature Brad Pitt shot for W Magazine, Angelina looks amazing, of course, carefully carrying one of her babies in this study front facing carriers. You can get carried away with Angie’s style here with the Black Organic version of the carrier ($99.99 here).

Star Baby: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s Twins Get Carried Away

SunnyChanel — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 22:20:00 GMT

Many people dress their twins in matching outfits. Here Angelina and Brad show that they take it one step further, and opt to carry their kids in matching car seats. The Pitt / Jolie brood was photographed at the Nice airport after a whirlwind trip to New York City and New Orleans. How do little Viv and Knox ride? In good old Graco SafeSeat Infant Car Seats style. Angelina and Brad went with the comforting coffee brown hues of the French Roast collection. You can get your own here from BabiesRUs here $139.99 (each).

Star Baby: When Crocs Attack - Not You Too Angelina!

SunnyChanel — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 02:39:00 GMT

Oh Angelina, how could you do this to us? Look how cute and Dexy’s Midnight Runners-ish son Pax looks, and Zahara is totally playing it subtle with her mauve and rosy pink ensemble, and then you had to go and spoil the whole thing with Shiloh’s bright green Crocs (Crocs Kids Cayman in Lime Green $25 here). Photographed in New Orleans today, Angelina took half her brood out for a quick snack run. And no, I’m not even going to go in the whole Cheeto’s thing.

Angelina & Brad’s Twins Are Good In Bed

SunnyChanel — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:16:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitts twins are good in bed. No, no, get your mind out of the gutter. Maybe I should rephrase that, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitts twins Knox Leon and Vivianne Marcheline are good (and snug) in their beds. What kind of beds you may ask? The Hushamok infant sleeping hammock ($536 here). The Hushamok and it’s “womb-like design”, “has been proven to soothe colicky babies and restless sleepers”. Its’ modern design is a twist on a very old fashioned baby bed staple. Angelina and Brad rely on the Hushamok’s so much that they reportedly have a set of the hammocks “on every level of their French chateau”. For more info on the Hushamok, click here.

5 Gifts for the Angelina Jolie- Brad Pitt Twins

SunnyChanel — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 18:30:00 GMT

Wondering what to get Brad and Angelina a welcome gift for their new twins? Not that 10 million dollars (the amount reportedly being paid for the photos of the new babes) wouldn’t buy a whole bunch of onesies. Everyone loves a free gift!
Here are five cool twin gifts to get the new celebrity spawn.

The “tw” and “in” Twin shirt set.
So the world will know they’re a set. Just make sure they always stand in the right position cos “in tw” doesn’t make much sense now does it? ($36.99 here)

Bosom Baby Nursing Pillow
This oversized nursing pillow by Luna Lullaby is big enough to do some double duty while breastfeeding. Much larger (and softer) then the My Breast Friend or Boppy, this will surely keep the twins well fed. $64.95 here.

The Graco Pack ‘n Play Portable Playard with Twin Bassinet
With the amount of gallivanting that the Jolie-Pitt crew does, having the convenience of a Pack N Play like this one is key on keep the babies confined and comfy. From Amazon for $175.75

Macclarin Twin Triumph Stroller
I love Macclarin stollers. They’re light weight, easy to open and close and really sturdy. I like it so much I’m betting Brad Pitt will too. In a “Coffee Bown” this side by side stroller is practical and also, important for this family, stylish. $244.99 from Amazon.com

The Maximom Twin and Triplet Baby Carrier.
Now Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon can both be carried snuggly against Angelina’s bosom at the same time (or Brad’s for that matter) with the twin carrier by Maximom. The carriers can be detached and will transform into two separate carriers, just in case your already aching back can’t take two bundles of joy anymore. $99.95 here.

The Babble Review: Kung Fu Panda the Game

Aaron Burgess — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 15:04:00 GMT

Unfortunately for the often great kids' movies that spawn them, video games based on CGI animated flicks tend to be so generic, bug-laden and unplayable that they end up doing more harm to the franchise than good (I'm looking at you, Ratatouille). So my expectations going into Kung Fu Panda, the new game based off the awesome Jack Black flick many Babble readers have no doubt been standing in line for the past few weekends, were a little less than high. Sometimes, though, it's good to be wrong: Not only is Kung Fu Panda one of the better movie spinoffs to hit game consoles in recent memory; it's also one of the more enjoyable kids' games that've landed in our mailbox this summer.

In a Nutshell: If you're an experienced gamer, you'll probably want to skip Kung Fu Panda altogether. With its tiny learning curve and relatively simple controls, the game can be beaten in a little less time than it takes to sit through the movie. It's a great game for younger players, though, with a fun script (complete with a dead-on Jack Black sound-alike) that uses the film's story as a springboard for bigger tales, as well as a big, jolly sense of humor to balance its cartoonish kung-fu fighting. And just as importantly, unlike so many movie-themed games, it plays as though it's more than a quick cash-in, with actual care put into easily botched stuff like graphics, gameplay and storyline.

Age-Appropriateness: Full disclosure: I reviewed the Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS versions of Kung Fu Panda with my two sons, 7 and 5, fighting for controller time by my side, so right off the bat I defied the game's "E10+" ESRB rating. Odds are, though, that you may not be considering more than the "E" in a game's rating to determine whether it's suitable for your under-10 kiddoes, and with Kung Fu Panda itself being so appealing to a younger audience (in the theater where we saw it, giggling, cheering preschoolers far outranked any 10-year-olds), I figure it's only sensible to put the game in the hands of the age brackets that are probably asking for it. The good news is, at least one of those age brackets had no problem diving into the game and enjoying it -- more on the other in a bit.

Po and two of the Furious Five take on the evil Tai Lung.

Plot and Gameplay: Kung Fu Panda follows its jelly-bellied title character, a bumbling-but-aspirational panda named Po, across multiple stages on his quest to become the fabled Dragon Warrior and stop the recently prison-busted Tai Lung from returning to destroy the village that spawned them both. Sounds just like the movie, right? Well, unlike the movie, the game packs a host of other animal bad guys to take on, and if you thought Tai Lung's nerve strikes were nasty, just wait till you have to rescue a group of baby turtles from the Croc Gang while flying down whitewater rapids and dodging flying arrows. Other levels allow you to play as Po's warrior counterparts, the Furious Five, or as their master, Shifu, while taking on similarly nasty animal crews created just for the game.

Close call: Crane hoists Po and a baby turtle up, up and away from a hungry croc.

As with other multi-console games, your experience with Kung Fu Panda is going to differ depending on the system on which you're playing it. However, even though the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions offer some bonus content and unlockable items , their basic action doesn't differ much from that of the Wii, PS2 and PC versions. Also, with minigames and missions being key parts of the game, the action isn't completely focused on combat (and I do use that term in the jolliest sense here). Of course, combat makes up the best parts of Kung Fu Panda's action, and your kids will have a blast figuring out the different moves and combos for each character as they clobber their way through the game.

Getting Personal (My Kids' Hands-On Experience): Where gameplay was concerned, my 5-year-old suffered most: After getting his butt kicked in a few rounds of combat and not being able to grasp the controls and combo moves as quickly as he'd hoped, he gave up on the Xbox 360 version. Unfortunately, even though the DS version offers a relatively simpler side-scrolling experience (read: you move from one side to the next, hurdling over obstacles and jumping up to different levels as you go), it ended up being twice as frustrating for the little guy, and he gave up after being unable to clear the first few screens. (Poor kid is still just learning to read, so the reading required to follow instructions -- par for the course in many DS games -- usually ends up being a point of frustration, anyway.)

A shot of Tigress in combat, from the Nintendo DS version.

The good news is that his brother, though three years younger than the ESRB's recommended age for Kung Fu Panda, had no trouble getting cozy with the controls and knocking out the bad guys -- although after playing the far more expansive, open-ended and graphics-rich Xbox 360 version of the game, he rarely went back to the DS version. Out of curiosity, I went back to the DS version and found it a blast, and if your kids are familiar with a game like Spider-Man 3 -- which combines the sort of side-scrolling action mentioned above with clever touchscreen controls (in this case, you move with the directional pad and put together your fighting moves with the stylus/touchscreen), they should have no problem getting cozy with this different, but equally solid, version of the game.

Angelina’s Big Confession!

SunnyChanel — Fri, 16 May 2008 15:23:00 GMT

During the infamous Today show interview with Jack Black about their film Kung Fu Panda, Angelina was forced to make a confession and announce to the world that not just that she is carrying Brad Pitts twins but that…her kids love to watch Wonderpets!

Easily one of the creepiest shows in kiddie land (okay, The Big Red Couch, Raggs and Barney are actually far creepier) the collage laden animation of the Wonderpets totally freaks me out. Oddly, the plush version of the Linny, Ming-Ming, and Tuck (a Nickelodeon Shop exclusive - the set is $56.99) are far less disturbing than the characters on the show. This trio is all about working together with their anthems like “what’s gonna work, team work!”. Being in the Jolie-Pitt clan is like being your own softball team, so actually it does seem like a perfect fit for them. Now I know what I’ll get Angelina for her baby shower.

Spit Up: Lucky Jade Cashmere Baby Clothes

Chris Ford — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 18:35:00 GMT

Just because celebrities buy something, doesn't mean we have to as well. According to the official web site from baby clothing line Lucky Jade, Sheryl Crow, Meg Ryan, Milla Jovovich and Angelina Jolie all dress their kids in Lucky Jade. But couldn't a cashmere onesie look cuter?

I'm not going to make any judgment about the owl illustration itself (and considering the cotton-cashmere blend it's probably ridiculously soft), but the illustration along with the brown color makes for a pretty dreary looking onesie. You don't have to dress your kid in cutesy bunnies and flowers all the time, but you also don't have to dress them like a character in The Stranger either.

Lucky Jade, prices ranging from $50 to $75. (At least they're machine washable.)
