Angelina Jolie is ready for some good press. The serial adopter has been dragged through the mud by every entertainment weekly under the sun and has even been taken to task by shows on CNN for skirting the law in the adoption of a boy she named Pax Thien Jolie. There are also a lot of reports that she just doesn't pay enough attention to her natural born little cutie Shiloh. But maybe Jolie just gets confused. She certainly can't seem to keep her story straight when it comes to if Shiloh was planned or not.

Angelina Jolie Says Shiloh Was an Accident, Oops, No - She was Planned

In the February issue of Elle U.K in an interview released earlier this year, she said that Shiloh was an accident. She told the magazine, " I wasn’t planning on getting pregnant. I’m the one that got knocked up!" That must not have 'focused grouped' very well and that interview and her adoption was right about when the Jolie backlash took hold full bore. And it has yet to subside. So what's a pillow-lipped momma under pressure to do? Get a fluff piece out. This month's Reader's Digest is on newsstands and in mailboxes now and it seems pretty sugary and when it comes to Shiloh she claims the exact opposite. Well - except for the knocked up part.

She now says having Shiloh was actually planned. The story says: "Before I met Brad, I always said I was happy never to have a child biologically. He told me he hadn't given up on that thought. Then, a few months after Z came home, I saw Brad with her and Mad, and I realized how much he loved them, and a biological child would not in any way be a threat. So I said, 'I want to try.'"

So - which is it? At times you feel sorry for Jolie. She desperately wishes to be taken seriously, but her wild past and her tendency to just blurt out whatever is on her mind in interviews really costs her credibility among all except for the most ardent Angelina Jolie followers. Especially when they run the exact opposite as these two interviews have. Every woman knows if their child was planned or not. It looks as if Angelina wants it both ways and she comes off as looking like - well an empty headed Hollywood actress. And that's okay - unless you are shooting for saving the world 'one child at a time' as the article says.

Remember she even dissed her little natural born baby Shiloh pretty seriously in that Elle interview. That's the same interview where she called her little baby privileged and a blob. That really brought the heat from critics.

“I think I feel so much more for Madd and Zee because they’re survivors, they came through so much. Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born. I have less inclination to feel for her...I met my other kids when they were 6 months old, they came with a personality. A newborn really is this...Yes, a blob! But now she’s starting to have a personality...I’m conscious that I have to make sure I don’t ignore her needs, just because I think the others are more vulnerable," she said in February. Perhaps it's time Jolie skips interviews for a while. She is better off as the dark. Mysterious type.
