Pax's New Name -- It's the Pitts!

Click here for pax's documentsAngelina Jolie has filed a petition in L.A. County Superior Court to change the name of her latest adopted child from Pax Thien Jolie to Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt.

In papers filed April 16 and obtained today by TMZ, Angelina -- the sole adoptive parent of Pax -- is requesting the change so it will reflect the last name of her partner, Brad Pitt, and so it is the same as that of her other three children.

Angelina adopted the three-and-a-half-year-old little boy from an orphanage in Vietnam last March.

32. The Jolie-Pitt's seem to be spending a lot of time in California for people who bought a home in New Orleans and put Maddox in school there.

35. ISN'T THAT SPECIAL

36. If you look on Billy Bob's web page he lists Maddox has his son. How did she get him to give up being Maddox's father and Brad becomes his dad. They are so screwed up. I feel bad for all their kids.

37. Have you ever noticed Brad Pitt always ends up resembling the women he's with?

Look at this link??

He may be handsome but a whipped man is not a turn on.

38. Mythbreak-
How do you know whether she has had therapy or not? I don't as I don't know her personally, and neither do you. Drew Barrymore had a similar tumultuous life up to her 20's as Angelina did, and DrewB has said that she had a lot of growing up to do much as Angelina has said. As to the kindergarten stories that may be true or not. A tab printed that, does that make it true? And how sexual can a 4-5 year older be? The cutting was definitely a cry for help, and is indicative of someone who is in pain, who lacks a sense of self worth, who feels unloved. You would be very surprised from your comments to know the large percentage of the US population of teenagers and young adults who have cutting episodes. It is not uncommon, and it does not mark someone as unstable or the like for life. Gaining understanding of why cutting was done, and talking about it can be theraputic.

By the way, I have mounted no rabid defense of anyone, but I do know that nobody is perfect, and that most peopel do mature as they age.

40. Changing Pax's name to Jolie - Pitt is a good thing. They all need to have the same last name.

to be let known that they are all the same and welcomed into their home equally.

But if I am not mistaken I have read that the adoption from Brad has never been finalized for Mad and Z...

and nothing is mentioned above about adopting Pax either; just name change....

No matter what happens to Brad or Angie and even thou Angie has been using the kids for attention....Brad needs to always pay attention to them kids like they are his and always will be.

Look at Knicole Kidman and Tom Cruise they both legally adopted their kids and they still are fully involved in their kid's lives and love them both very much even after the divorce.

Of course we can't compare Brad and Angie's adoption to anyone else. Because unlike Brad and Angie no one else used their adopted kids for media attention.

Angie you should be a shamed of yourself!!!!

Adopting is good and lord knows you can afford them and they will probably have a better life finacially with you (I don't know about mentally). But I hope it all works out for them.

I really thought Brad had better class or above all of this mess....but I guess I was mistaken!!!!

41. LOL, Angie is a media whore, slut ! Can't believe Brad fell for her, I too thought he had more class then to go for Angelina, okay she's pretty but that's about it. I never see her carry her own daughter, just the adopoted kids. That's weird.

42. Call me old fashion............... they should get married if they are building this family.

43. BBT willingly gave up all and any rights to Maddox in the divorce from Angelina. Angelina became Maddox's only parent at that time, Maddox's last name was always Jolie until it became Jolie-Pitt. BBT left Angelina two weeks after she returned to LA from Namibia with Maddox (where she was making a movie, couldn't leave to go to Cambodia to get Maddox, so Maddox was brought to her on the movie location) with his band and never returned home. BBT never paid child support, and did not stay in contact with Maddox on a regular or any basis after the divorce. BBT has even said that since Angelina lived mostly in England that he seldom saw her or Maddox, but did ASK Angelina how they were doing when she was in LA sometimes. Brad Pitt is the only father Maddox has known or has. BBT can put anything he wants to on his website but that does not make him Maddox's father or make the info on his website accurate.

44. is this a name change.....or an adoption..seems like you have to do a lot more than request a name change on a child when you adopt..then again none of us are Jolie..who knows..I just hope she settles down somewhere....and call somewhere home at least for a month.
