Shiloh Jolie-Pitt Looks Very Cute With Short Hair

By Denise Warner Posted Mar 5th 2010 01:46PM

Pop-Ed: A bit of a scandal is brewing surrounding Shiloh Jolie-Pitt's new hair cut.

The first biological daughter of beautiful A-List parents, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, now sports a very short crop, prompting Life & Style to ask -- 'Why is Angelina turning Shiloh into a boy?' Their cover story sparked a firestorm around the Internet, angering many with the arguably prejudiced undertones of the article.

Now, here at PopEater, we think Shiloh's new 'do looks adorable. In fact, we believe it's improved on her already super cute adorableness -- something we barely thought possible. Regardless and more importantly, we hardly think that taking scissors to her fine, wispy hair means her mom wants her to be a boy.

At her age, short hair seems much more practical. Three-year-olds play with sticky things. And they get goo and dirt on their heads. And they don't really like it when you yank on their scalp to get the tangles out with a brush. (At least, we didn't as toddlers. And still don't as adults.)

It follows that having less hair means less tangles and less hassle for mommy, daddy and Shiloh.

The argument rages on, however. And GLAAD responded to the Life & Style's potentially harmful debate over the youngster's hair style.

"Life & Style is way off the mark with this outrageous coverage... Perpetuating gender stereotypes and targeting children for ridicule about the way they dress is unacceptable," a spokesperson for the organization said.

One stylist, who is quoted in the article, even fought back at the way she claims the magazine manipulated her words.

"Shiloh is pushing the boundaries of a tomboy look and crossing over to cross-dresser territory," Alana Kelena is quoted as saying.

"I am in tears right now because this just makes me sick. In the past, L&S have often used me for style quotes, and they always give me final approval, so I trusted them for this piece, mistakenly. The actual quote began with 'Some might think ...' but they conveniently took that out to make it seem the thought was my own, and did not contact me for that final approval," Kelena wrote to Jezebel.

However, a Life & Style insists Kelena wasn't misquoted.

"In response to the question, "Do you think she looks too boyish for a 3 year old girl?" Alana Kelen answered, "I definitely think that Shiloh is pushing the boundaries of a tomboy look and crossing over to cross-dresser territory. The neckties just put it a bit over the edge, mostly because boys themselves rarely sport ties," an email to PopEater from the magazine said.

Regardless, Shiloh has short hair -- who cares. When we were young, our hair was so short that our dad took us into the men's restroom and figured no one would notice. They didn't.

And uh oh, she dresses like a boy? In fifth grade, our every day attire consisted of our school's basketball sweats. Seriously, every day during basketball season.

The bottom line is, it doesn't matter. Let the kid have an easy and practical cut. (That is, we'll repeat, so freaking cute.) Let her dress how she wants to dress. Angelina and Brad are not trying to turn her into a boy. They're probably just parents who think short hair is easy and who allow her to dress herself. End of story.

There shouldn't be any articles on this little girl,leave her alone.Find something else to write about.

By Kasey Elliott

You are so right, this is the lowest and most pathetic thing I have ever seen, this beautiful little girl, who like popeater says could hardly BE more adorable and L & S, writes...well WHAT are they implying? That she is the new Chastity Bono? Is it even LEGAL to put somebodys baby on a mag cover without parental permission? I hope Brad and Angelina sue them into bankruptcy and give the money to a worthwhile cause, besides this was an extremley homophobic cover.

So right!! I don't knowhow it was avoided but when I was a little kid, we had little choice in cloths and there were no fights about it. Today many parents choose to 'pick the battles' and the clothing is one they give the kids. They say that it is too big to fight with them about. I am guessing then that kids, are going to wear what they want, or there is to be a battle of wills in the morning. Perhaps as well the parents here are NOT promoting the ridiculous "princess" notions to their daughters so the need to be 'girly' and wear dresses, does not occur to them. Should that be the case, I say amen to that & them.

Judy,
Did you read the article?

By Crime

Clearly not.

She may have even cut her hair herself, it looks a little uneven. I did the same thing to myself when I was her age. But it does look super cute and yes kids do get gum stuck in their hair, so thats another possibility, her parents may have had to cut her hair to get a wad of gum out.

By Sally

If you get hair with chewing gum in, a nice glob of peanut butter will do wonders getting it lose. I used to make my kids take the peanut butter and massage it where the gum was until it all came off. Then there's a shampoo needed, because the kid has peanut butter in her hair, but it's better than cutting hair if you aren't ready to.

My mom kept my like this and shorter, because I didnt like my hair brushed! She did it to keep it neat and clean. And since when does pants make you boyish? Ever seen Brooke Shields in her Calvin Kleins! :-)

Please, she is adorable and obviously loved.

By DeAnn

I had short hair as a small child. I played football with the boys and played with Barbie with the girls. My niece wore her grandfather's hat to school one winter. We are both straight. My grandson pretended to be a dog for a while. He's a boy again, doing quite well in school.

Shiloh just has a very active imagination. Maybe with such a blended family, she wants to stand out more. Just let her be a child for as long as possible.

By Cali

They need to stop encouraging her to dress and act like a boy, she even has a boy name they call her by. The whole family are "Looney Tunes". Hello Angelina and Brad, you are the PARENTS!!!!

By mintrubble71

Clearly being groomed by her parents to be a lesbian, so they can be an even "cooler" and more unconventional family.

By What's Wrong with Long Hair?

You must admit, a missing front tooth, the skull and cross bones t-shirts, fedoras, generally black clothes, those are not normal things you find the girls section of ANY store. These people have a lot of money, their child, who is otherwise beautiful, despite their attempts otherwise, shouldn't look like this. I'm sure Jen Aniston wouldn't dress her daughter like this, Katie Holmes' daughter looks like a girl...I feel sorry for the kid.

The problem with this whole thing is the fact that everyone will start calling her a boy to her face. If I didn't know who it was, I'd probably think she was a boy, too.
My mom used to put my sister in dresses, but because she didn't have a lot of hair until she was about 3, people mistook her for a boy all the time.
It may not be noticeable to her now at this young age, but this will start to upset her as she gets older. I hope the parents will be able to see this.

Piss off you moron. When I was a little child I looked like a little boy. Not as much because of what I wore but because I looked neither girly or boyish. I was a cutish kid with a round head & short hair & big eyes but looked neither too boyish or girly. It never caused me a problem. I happen to have a phenomenal memory and remember things as far back as 3 years old and remember nothing about that troubling me, so go suck it you dolt. I know I looked exactly like a boy because we have photos of my uncle as a baby and every one thinks that he is me. Give it a rest, some girls are tomboys and don't like boys looking up their dresses. MYOFB.

What business is it to anyone other than the parents and children what kinds of hair dos or don't kids have? No wonder famous people hide their kids from the snoopy photographers. She is cute regardless, my baby brother had long curly hair till he went to grade school...did that make him less a boy?
Why not just continue to dwell on Lindsay Lohan changing her hair color daily or who spent the most on extensions and leave Tom Cruise's kid and the Joli/Pitt kids alone...this constant quest to make news out of nothing is very twisted almost like Letterman got with sarah Palin's kids.
