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."

It's All In The Bag!
Brangelina's Namibian Sanctuary Up For Auction
Why bother with eBay auctions for Paris Hilton's costume jewelry or Tori Spelling's wardrobe. A true fan goes all out with the purchase of the hotel Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took over for the birth of Shiloh.
Brangelina's hideaway, The Burning Shore resort in Namibia, is reportedly going on the auction block August 30th. The hotel recently became world famous for housing the couple as they awaited the birth of their child Shiloh Jolie-Pitt. The couple allegedly paid $2 million to clear out the hotel for 80 days just so they could be alone and insulated from the paparazzi.
The hotel is flanked by the desert and the ocean so you can build sand castles on the beach and snorkel in the sea.
Just pray that Brangelina aren't sentimental and try to return with brood (and paparazzi) in tow.
Brad's Back!
Brad Pitt was spotted on the set of "Ocean's 13" Wednesday afternoon in Los Angeles. The new father is back to work and looking great. Cameras snapped the superstar all decked out in a dark suit and sunglasses.

After filming wrapped for the day, Pitt ditched the suit, threw on his leathers, mounted his motorcycle and headed out.
Brad and his famous co-stars are being treated like royalty after producer Jerry Weintraub built the cast and crew "Ocean's Club." The exclusive lounge has a stocked bar, poker table and full-time catering.

What record label is dumb enough to give Paris Hilton a deal???
Michelle, you aren't the only one wondering how this deal didn't fall though. However, Paris Hilton sought out Paris Hilton when it came time to look for record label deals. The diva launched "Heiress," her own record label in July 2005 as an attempt to take charge of her musical career.

How can I reach or meet Destiny's Child?
Unfortunately Donica, the chart topping trio Destiny's Child are no longer a group. Luckily, the name managed to maintain a positive reputation even though much drama accompanied many of the members.

After worldwide success from her first album "Simply Deep," you can expect Kelly Rowland's sophomore album in February of '07. Michelle Williams, who has also had global success with the first of two albums, is said to be in studio preparing for a third release.

Angelina -- High as a Kite
Two months after giving birth to daughter Shiloh, Angelina Jolie is once again flying high -- literally.

Baby Shiloh - The Creepy Version
How on earth could an image of the darling daughter of Angelina and Brad be... creepy? Easy! Replicate her in silicone and put her on display in a wax museum.
Although the crowd at the Madame Tussaud's display cooed like it was a real infant, the sculpture of the baby is decidedly weird.
Shiloh's figure sits in a bassinet in a supposedly "African themed" nursery while her parents look on.
In keeping with the humanitarian efforts of the Pitt/Jolie clan, Tussaud's plans to donate a buck to UNICEF for every Shiloh photo taken at the exhibit.
While Shiloh is Jolie and Pitt's third child, the musuem's general manager says Madame Tussaud's has no immediate plans to include their two adopted children in the family exhibit. Maddox and Zaharah are expected to get over that snub pretty easily.

Brad Pitt -- "I'm Kinda Sick of Myself"
For Brad Pitt, satisfaction is getting a burp out of "that thing" known as his baby daughter, Shiloh Nouvel.
That, amongst other things, is what Pitt told the Today Show's Ann Curry Monday morning in an exclusive interview from New Orleans, where Pitt was surveying the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and promoting environmentally-friendly solutions for the rebuilding of the ravaged city. Working in conjunction with the non-profit Global Green, Pitt said that he has invested $100,000 to help the citizens of New Orleans.
Pitt laid bare the impelling force behind his good works, telling Curry, "I got kids now. And it really changes your perspective on the world. And, you know, I've had my day...I'm so tired of thinking about myself. I'm kinda sick of myself."
And though much artistic work may lie ahead, Pitt says he's got a new project that's consuming him: "You can write a book, you can make a movie, you can draw, paint a painting, but having kids is really the most extraordinary thing I've ever taken on. And, man, if I can get a burp out of that, that little thing, I'll feel such a sense of accomplishment."
Celebrity Family Feuds

Unfortunately, the big stars don't have that same luxury.
TMZ tracked down some of Hollywood's biggest family feuds that could give "Kramer vs. Kramer" a run for its money.
Angelina Jolie vs. Jon Voight
In 2001, Angelina Jolie co-starred with her dad, Jon Voight, in the hit film "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider." By 2002 they were no longer on speaking terms.
Voight went on national television and blamed the split on what he says were Jolie's "serious emotional problems." Jolie countered "I have determined that it is not healthy for me to be around my father, especially now that I am responsible for my own child (Maddox)."
She eventually legally dropped the 'Voight' from her last name.
Earlier this week Voight admitted that he still wants to reconcile with his daughter and that he has yet to see his new granddaughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.
It seems Jolie's main man Brad Pitt may need to get involved in order to settle this Hollywood Fight Club.
Accused Brangelina Paparazzo Won't Face Charges
