Jolie: Family in wax

New York, July 26 (AFP): Barely two months her birth, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s baby Shiloh Nouvel already merits her own figure at the Madame Tussaud’s wax museum in New York.

The first baby ever given the honour, Shiloh Nouvel’s figure “with mom’s signature pouty lips and delicate features,” will be inaugurated today, joining more than 200 top celebrities portrayed in wax statues.

Shiloh Nouvel was born to the Hollywood megastars in Namibia on May 27. While her parents have kept the real Shiloh out of the public eye, at Madame Tussaud’s she “will lie peacefully inside a woven bassinet” in her “very own african-themed nursery,” near figures of her parents, the museum said in a statement.

“The nursery ? painted a pale yellow ? also includes jungle-themed curtains, a whimsical chandelier, a hite changing table and giant stuffed animals,” the statement said.

“Soft African lullabies will be played in the background, and guests can pose for a family photo” with the three figures, said the museum, which promises to send a dollar per photo to the UN children’s fund Unicef.

Jolie has been a United Nations goodwill ambassador for several years.
