Angelina Jolie Adopts Shakira?

Angelina Jolie has been adamant that she wishes to adopt again and again.  But would the United Nations do-gooder actually adopt pop star Shakira?

Well Shakira was born in the third world.

The 29-year old singer was born in Barranquilla, Colombia.  But Wikipedia reports that she already has a Colombian mother, Nidia del Carmen Ripoll Torrado, of Catalan and Italian decent, and an American born father of Lebanese descent, William Mebarak Chadid.

So what gives?

Estranged dad Jon Voight.  The poor guy, he would do anything to get back in his daughter good graces, but butchering his grandkid's name probably won't help.

TMZ has the video and the details:

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."

Jolie was so concerned about not seeing her father that last Thursday night while attending a photography exhibit once Angelina was made aware that her estranged pop was "in the building" she refused to see him and the report said she decided to wait outside until she was certain he had left.

She later then went in once the coast was clear.

This certainly doesn't sound as if she will be forgiving Voight anytime soon.
