Stellbellaroma, I agree, that was awful of whoever took that photo of Jett to do to John and his family! When Shiloh was first born, there was a photo floating around that was supposedly a picture of her taken by a nurse at the hospital where she was born. The picture, just like the of Jett, was supposedly taken with a cellphone. I just tracked down the link to the picture if anyone’s interested. Here it is: http://www.bradpittnow.com/images/shiloh-pitt.jpg
I sincerely hope that picture is just of some random newborn and not of Shiloh (although we’ll probably never know for sure, as, given the picture was supposedly taken in the hospital just days or even hours after Shiloh’s birth, she would have looked pretty much like any other newborn at that point)!

When Shiloh was born she was never taken out of Brad and Angie’s sight. Brad went into hospital with Angie and spent all the time with them in there. Angie took over immediate care for Shiloh.
I doubt very much if that pic is Shiloh because her parents would have seen it being taken.

Just a quick update on my post about the photo that was floating around shortly after Shi’s birth and was claimed by some blogs to be, in fact, the first photo of her.
I happened to stumble upon the picture again just recently…and I am now 99 percent certain that, just as BlessBrangelina speculated, the baby in the photo is NOT Shiloh? Why am I so sure, you’re probably wondering?
Well, because the place I stumbled across the photo on was a stock photo site! In fact, I first saw a picture that wasn’t the same one as the one of supposedly Shi that I’d seen earlier. However, it was similar enough (the baby was wearing the same outfit and laying on the same blanket in both photos) that I began to have a suspicion.
So I did a little searching on the stock site…and sure enough, ended up finding the picture that some blogs had tried to pass of as Shiloh (although I need to give them the benefit of the doubt, as I have no idea if they were actually being serious about it, or if they were just joking and making light of the fact that, at the time, everyone was on pins and needles waiting to see the first photos of Shi!).
Anyway, no wonder it was so easy for those blogs to optain that photo! Stock photos are free, so all they had to do was find it on the stock site, save it to their computer, and upload it to their blog.
In any case, just thought you might like to know that the photo I was referring to almost certainly ISN’T a photo of Shi! :)

That should be a period after “…NOT Shiloh”, not a question mark! Whoops!

Oh, and I DO have to give Bradpittnow credit for good photoshopping skills. The orginal photo, when you click to make it full-size, is much bigger than the one they post, and also much clearer.
So, in otherwords, Bradpittnow was clever enough to shrink the photo down to the size of a cellphone photo, and add just enough “noise” to make it appear to have the grainy quality that most cellphone photos do.

I FOR ONE WILL NOT BUY ANY BOOK THAT IS WRITTEN BY A DISGRUNTED BODYGUARD. LET US MAKE A PACT AND NOT EVEN BUY THE BOOK. IT HAS TO BE AN INFRIGEMENT ON THE PRIVACY OF THE JOLIE-PITTS. I FOR ONE DO NOT CARE WHAT THIS GUY SAYS, I WOULD NOT BELIEVE HIM, HE WAS FIRED AND WE ALL KNOW WHY. VAL

Val- Relax! That “book” was a lie printed by InTouch (or “Out of Touch” as we like to call it her at Pittwatch!), and in the two plus months since, not one thing has been said about it by ANY source, tabloid or otherwise.
Out of Touch also claimed a few years ago that JA was writing a tell-all, which never materalized.
All of that said, we actually don’t know for sure that Mickey was fired. The timeline that Out of Touch gave (i.e. that he was fired after that supposed incident in Africa) doesn’t make sense, as Mickey was seen with the family in late Spring of 2007 when the went to Prague.
That occured AFTER the Africa incident, which happened in 2006. Therefore, Mickey obviously WASN’T fired when Out of Touch claimed he was. Was he fired at some point, though? We really have no idea.
