Jolie and Pitt: Chad Adoption, Tabloid Enemies

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been making some unwelcome enemies during their baby-adopting spree. According to the latest reports, the couple had better change their ways the next time around… or else!

In a NY Post report, “sources say that Us Weekly, Star and other celebrity weeklies are so fed up with getting scooped by People, they’ve turned on Jolie and Brad Pitt with a vengeance.”

This comes as a possible preemptive strike, just after word has spread that the couple are already planning on adopting another child from the African nation of Chad.

“Angelina and Brad want to make sure Zahara doesn’t feel alienated as the only black face in their family,” a source told London’s News of the World. Jolie herself recently said, “Should you balance the races, so there’s another African person in the house for Zahara, after another Asian person in the house for Mad? We think so.”

Jolie is rumored to have already chosen a 1-year-old girl from Oure Cassoni in Chad, with her lawyers working on the adoption paperwork. “She is hoping to have her daughter home by the summer,” a source told the British paper.

The weekly tabloids that have been shunned from the new baby pictures have attacked Jolie in their latest headlines, which is sure to continue if they are snubbed during the next adoption.

Examples of the attacks, reported by the NY Post, include: The headline on Us last week blared, “Her Twisted Double Life,” along with, “Her broken promise to be a stay-at-home mom . . . How she uses her kids to manipulate the media.”

Meanwhile, this week Star went with “Angelina Walks Out on Brad! . . . and Dumps the Kids!”

How the busy couple plan on handling the ever-growing family has also come under scrutiny. Angelina’s slated to star in “Atlas Shrugged” and “The Changeling,” while Pitt will be busy promoting “Ocean’s Thirteen” and “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” and starting “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”

Pitt’s rep, Cindy Guagenti, told Page Six, “I wish people would leave them alone. They’re trying to do something good.”

We wish them good luck with that request.
