From the on-line Chicago Tribune -- question: what good is it to be an influential infant? (I don't get it)


Forbes ranks most influential babies
December 17, 2007

So why do Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have so many kids? Love? Procreative instinct? Or is it for the clout found only atop the Forbes ranking of "Hollywood's Most Influential Infants"? With three tots in the top 5, Clangelina might have filled even more of the list -- which reflects media exposure and opinion research -- but the eldest, 6-year-old Maddox, was ineligible. It's a tough business, kid.

The diapered dynamos (and their parents):

1.Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, 1

2.Suri Cruise, 1 (Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes)

3.Zahara Jolie-Pitt, 2

4.Sean Preston Federline, 2 (Britney Spears and Kevin Federline)

5.Pax Jolie-Pitt, 4

6.Sam Alexis Woods, 6 months (Tiger and Elin Woods)

7.(tie) David Banda, 2 (Madonna and Guy Ritchie); Dannielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead (Anna Nicole Smith and Larry Birkhead)

9.(tie) Cruz Beckham, 5, and Romeo Beckham, 2 (David and Victoria Beckham)

Shame these kids are already being dragged into the glitz of 'fame' before they can fully understand it.

Just one thing, isn't Romeo 5 and Cruz two?

Thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Somebody needs a "real"
news assignment. :)

Like Forbes doesn't have anything better to talk about?

This has got to be one of the silliest pieces of fluff to ever hit Forbes.

What hit me is "influential"????? Over whom do this children have influence? What are these children doing or saying that is influencing others?

I think Forbes needs a better dictionary!

Agreed. Sadly, probably most of these kids will wind up in therapy for something as they grow older. As we have seen so many times in Hollywood in the past, Fame + Children often = dysfunctional adults. *sigh*
