Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt: The Wax Edition

After only 8 weeks in the world, one of the most talked about babies in the wolrd, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, has gained an accolade normally reserved for Oscar winners and prominent world leaders. Madame Tussauds Wax Museum has immortalized Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's baby in a wax sculpture in the New York City exhibit.

The wax likeness of Shiloh will be revealed later today. As E Online reports, "The figure, complete with her mother's 'signature pouty lips and delicate features,' will be displayed in an 'African-themed nursery,' where it will rest 'peacefully' in a woven basket, according to the museum's description."

Standing proudly over the wax Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt sculpture will be her proud parents, Brad and Angelina. However, Shiloh's siblings, Maddox and Zaraha, did not make the cut. Visitors to the museum will be able to have their photo taken with the wax celebrities, for a price. In recognition of the couple's work for charities, Madame Tussauds has pledged to donate $1 of every photo sold to UNICEF. People quoted Madame Tussauds general manager, Janine DiGioacchino, as saying "We are proud to follow Angelina's and Brad's good example by donating to UNICEF - an organization dedicated to preserving children's rights around the world."

More fuel to the sibling rivalry, Life Style Extra reports that Maddox Jolie-Pitt has an accolade of his own. "Cambodian-born Maddox has topped America's Life and Style magazine's poll to find Hollywood's best looking child. The publication described the Mohicaned youngster as a 'globetrotter', pointing out he had already travelled to Egypt, Africa and France and was not even five-years-old."

The wax embodiment of Brangelina's offspring comes at a good time to deflect attention from another story that popped up a recently. Star Magazine reportedly quoted Brad Pitt's grandmother, Betty Rusell, as saying "Brad promised his wife on their wedding day they'd be together, and they didn't make it. He is a sensitive soul who just wants to make sure he can keep his promise this time around." The story also went on to say that Brad Pitt won't marry Angelina Jolie until he feels ready, which apparently won't happen for some time.

Angelina Jolie, the Academy Award winning actress who has acted in movies such as Girl, Interrupted, has also recently adopted two children. On March 10th, 2002, Angelina adopted her first child, Maddox Chivan Jolie, when he was 7 months old. Jolie met the child in a Cambodian orphanage while filming Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Then, on July 5th, 2005, People magazine reported that Angelina Jolie was attempting to adopt an Ethiopian girl that had been orphaned, as her mother had died from AIDS. After a woman claiming to be the baby's mother was proven not to be, Jolie eventually gained custody of Zahara Marley Jolie. On January 19th, 2006, both of Angelina Jolie's babies were also adopted by Brad Pitt, giving the children the surname Jolie-Pitt.

Angelina Jolie gave birth to Brad Pitt's child, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, in Namibia on May 27th, 2006.
