Angelina Jolie goes on shopping spree in London
Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie reportedly spent £1,300 in 15 minutes during a shopping spree yesterday in London with her two eldest daughters, Zahara and Shiloh. The 36-year-old and her six children are currently living in Richmond in the British capital as her partner Brad Pitt, 47, films his latest flick World War Z, and Angie headed out to enjoy some of the city’s shops. Jolie, Zahara, six, and Shiloh, five, went to King’s Road in Chelsea where The Tourist star splashed out on clothes in French Connection. A customer told British newspaper the Daily Mail: “She was really friendly and humble. She signed an autograph for some young girls in the shop, and wouldn’t let any of the staff help her to the car with her bags, joking that she ‘had people to do that’ for her. “She seemed happy to talk to people and sign autographs for them. I was in the store at the same time and couldn’t believe it when I saw she’d managed to spend £1,300 in such a short time. Still, she earns such a lot of money, so why not?”

Angelina Jolie wants to cross the Sahara
Angelina Jolie plans to cross the Sahara on camel with her kids and Brad Pitt. The Hollywood star said she has her eye on North Africa for the next family holiday. “[We want to] cross the Sahara. It takes 28 days. It would have to be on a camel. I wonder if I could do it in pieces and station the kids along the way,” she said. Jolie, 36, who has six kids with partner Pitt, including three adopted from overseas, said she encourages them to visit their homelands. She said in a newspaper interview: “They are all learning about each other’s cultures as well as being proud of their own. So it’s not like just the boys get to do the Asian thing. “They all have their flags over their beds and their individual pride. “We owe Vietnam a visit, because Pax is due. Z [Zahara] wants to get back to Africa, and Shiloh too. So everyone takes their turns in their country.” Eldest son Maddox, almost 10, was adopted in 2002 from Cambodia, while Zahara, six, was born in Ethiopia. Shiloh, five, the couple’s first biological child, was born in Namibia. And Pax, adopted four years ago, was born in Vietnam. Then the actress gave birth in France to twins Knox and Vivienne three years ago.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ‘looking for a super nanny’
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly on the look-out for a super nanny to help care for their brood of six. According to The Sun, the couple have high expectations and want applicants to have a degree in education or child development and to speak two languages, including the native tongue of the child they will care for. Kids Maddox, Pax, Zaharah, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne all have a carer each so it is not clear who the new nanny is for. A salary of up to $150,000 (£90,000) is available for the successful candidate, but they must be prepared to travel the globe with the family. A source told The Sun, “It’s a coveted position. Brad and Angelina’s requirements are justified – they only want the best for their kids. “The pay packet and lifestyle make it a pretty amazing deal. “Not only have Brad and Angelina got to be able to trust the nanny completely with the kids but the new carer must also respect the family’s privacy.”
