As regular readers of this site know, I often like to like to throw out some love to new blogs that are just getting their feet wet. There are so many great ones that get started all the time and discovering them is like finding a cool new band or a new favorite author. Most of the blogs that I recommend to all of you are parenting blogs. But now, for the first time, I want to introduce to you a very special blog, written by a very special child. Ladies & Gentlemen, please put your hands together and welcome...young Maddox Jolie.
As many of you know, Maddox's mother is none other than Angelina Jolie. And though he's only 4, Maddox has proven to be quite an astute observer of his surrounding environment. He's insightful, sensitive and interesting. But more than anything else, it's his "voice" as a writer that makes his blog so compelling.
"Ange told me we might be getting another one. I'm not so sure if that's good," reads one entry posted shortly after Angelina adopted her second child, Zahara Marley Jolie. Maddox continues: "Zahara and Ange have been sleeping together a lot, and Hero [his nickname for Brad Pitt] usually sleeps in a tent outside and prays and talks to himself and builds fires and draws pictures of houses."
He also refers to Brad Pitt as "BradDad," as when he mentions recently that "BradDad caught meningitis two weeks ago. I wonder if it has anything to do with Zahara and the other stuff we brought home from Africa."
So if you want to know what life is like for celebrity offspring or if you just want to know why Maddox is always being carried by his mother, check out Maddox's blog.
He walks!
Oh my GOD, you're making my sides hurt! Gotta check this one out!

THAT is the first time I've ever seen Maddox stand by himself! Too funny!

I love it... reminds me of The Darth Side. Maybe you should start one for Lourdes & Rocco.

Brilliant! Did you see the recent series of the Boondocks where the grandfather was trying to give away the boys to Angelina Jolie?

I can't wait until Maddox has a play-date with Apple, Coco and Phinnaeus.

OK- I know I've seen it before in many a tabloid cover shot, but that is a felony-bad hairdo on that kid.
Between the faux-hawk, hanging around with Ange, Brad and Billy Bob, not to mention Grandaddy Jon Voight, this kid is on the EXPRESS train to Jerry Springer!
(or whatever the equivalent is in the year 2025, probably some kind of IP-based video blogcast we get beamed directly to a miniature 100TB hard drive imbedded in our skulls.)

The BEST part is the comments where people ask, "Is this really Maddox?"
Pffffffft.
