Voight to Jolie -- "Regards to....What's Her Name?"

Angelina Jolie's estranged father Jon Voight sent a shout out to his grandkids Saturday, but it seems like absence makes the memory grow weaker -- he royally screwed up one of the names.

At the fourth annual BAFTA Tea Party (BAFTA is the Oscars for Brits), Voight was talking with a reporter on the red carpet when he decided to send birthday wishes to Maddox, Angelina's five-year-old child. That went well, but then things took an ugly turn. Voight also sent well-wishes to "Shakira" -- problem is, he was talking about Angelina's 1 1/2-year-old daughter. Shakira is considerably older -- 29. The correct name -- Zahara. Close, but no cigar. Actors are famous for always getting another chance, and take two was perfect.

Jolie and her father haven't spoken since he went on "Access Hollywood" four years ago, urging her daughter to get help for her "mental problems."

48. I'm sick to death of you people who think that "real" children, "real" parents and grandparents, and "real" families can only happen if there's BLOOD or DNA involved. You're so damned ignorant, narrow-minded and bigoted it's not funny. Just because we happen to share some blood does NOT mean you get a pass for life to abuse and sh*t on me. REAL families happen REGARDLESS of blood. They happen because people CHOOSE to share their lives with each other and make an emotional COMMITTMENT to each other. Angeline has THREE children, not just ONE. If JV had any sort of moral anchor, he would support her in her decision to welcome Maddox and Zahara in her life, not dump on her (PUBLICLY!) for doing so.

49. Hi my name is Jon Voight I am getting more attention than I ever had before by mentioning my daughter Angelina and her children every chance I get. You would think that I had no other children

50. My dad was a pretty bad dad , hes a better grandfather and to be honest i didnt want him in my life but i did want my child to know him and he has made a huge impact in my sons life. sometimes you do things for your children, not yourself. Im not saying Angelina should mind you, thats really her call. its one thing to tell her she needs help in private, quite another to blast it all over the media.
I DO think shes ill, i really do but that has nothing to do with her right to decide who she talks to and who her children know or dont know.

51. Poor Angelina! She has said she resents her father because he was unfaithful to her mother. How is fooling around with another woman's husband any different? No amount of highly public good deeds can erase her hypocrisy.

53. #42, do you actually believe AJ is not going to have a stronger bond w/ Shiloh than the others after her pregnancy and nursing this baby? GIve me a break. ANd I was adopted, and my mother favored her unadopted child so I do know what I'm talking about. My mother continues to remain clueless and in denial. But my adopted brother and father as well see it so I know I'm not crazy. Anyway, I find it funny that Jon Voight called Zahara Shakira. LOL!!!!!!

54. She should forgive her father because the comments he made about her needing help are true....she is f***ed and Brad is too. Obviously, or he wouldn't be with her. Those poor kids, they are also going to be screwed up for life. Jon Voight should be the ignoring her not vice versa! Jon Voight is showing what a real parent is, not precious (gags at last word)Angie Too Big Lips For Face!

57. Angelina Jolie will get even madder now...with her dad.
Stand back!!!
...Jolie will begin to blow up like a Japanese Blowfish, and Brad will have to calm her down.

I say 'Give the old guy a break..." Shikira? Shiniqua? Zahara? "Tomatos? Tomatoes?...old people cannot remember fancy tongue twisting names.

58. Coment #46......is unadopted a real word? just wondering......

59. Hasn't Angelina already mentioned that she has forgiven him but chooses not to have her in her life. I find that perfectly okay. She set up parameters that she needed to set. Mr. Voight seems to have no respect for that.

He could have mailed a package to them tons of time or gotten a gift or message through Brad or countless other people but he hasn't done that and he won't. People who use the public are far too often more interested in the public attention than repairing a relationship and a counselor will tell you not to indulge that person
