A 7-year-old and knives? What could possibly go wrong?
Angelina Jolie admits in November's W magazine that she bought her 7-year-old son Maddox knives:
"My mom took me to buy my first daggers when I was 11 or 12. And I’ve already bought Maddox some things. We take him to a special shop." She emphasizes that the knife blades are dulled so they’re not dangerous, and that the purchases are accompanied by discussions about violence. But, she says, "we also talk about samurais and about the idea of defending someone as good. We talk about everything." (Source)
To be fair to Angelina, Maddox is from Cambodia and most kids in Cambodia have their own knives by the time they're seven. I mean, have you ever tried to fight off a roaming death squad with just a stick?

Looks like Angelie Jolie and Brad Pitt are putting down roots in New York City. Their oldest son, Maddox, started school this week at the $18,000/year Lycee Francais de New York on the Upper East Side. The New York Post reports:
[Maddox's] movie-star parents showed up at the East 75th Street campus - an $18,000-a-year private school where lessons are taught in French - on Tuesday for their oldest child's first day, a source told The Post's Jennifer Fermino. "They were just like normal parents," said the snitch. Except better-looking, of course. (Source)
Holy shit $18,000 a year?!? Just send the kid to PS 158. If Maddox can survive roaming Cambodian death squads, he can certainly survive public school. The trick is you have to knife somebody the first day or become someone's bitch. It's a lot like prison.
While on a recent trip to Cambodia, Angelina Jolie fed her adopted son Maddox a plate of crickets, which are considered a local delicacy (Maddox's native country is Cambodia). Angelina expounds:
“I recently took Mad to Cambodia and it was the first trip there where he really understood it. We took him to a restaurant in the middle of the night and he had his first plate of crickets.” The high-protein bugs are popular in the South East Asian country. They are often served with guts intact. Angelina has previously eaten cockroaches and bee larvae and wants to learn how to cook them at home.
Crickets may be a delicacy in Cambodia but I'm pretty sure Maddox lives in Los Angeles. He's used to steak and lobster not plates of insects. Just because I was born in Siberia doesn't mean I want to take a vacation to go club seals and ride whales or whatever the hell they do up there. Angelina makes it sound all shady, too, taking Maddox to eat crickets "in the middle of the night" like it was damn special ops episode of Fear Factor. Can this woman ever do anything normal? If she didn't have such a smoking body, this would really bother me.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are hiring David Beckham to give their son private soccer lessons:
Maddox, five, has shown early promise after being enrolled in the David Beckham Soccer Academy in Los Angeles. Now Brad, 42, wants the ex-England captain, 31, to give his adopted son extra training. A source said: "Brad has asked if there is any chance of David giving a one-on-one tutorial." It is another master step by Becks and wife Victoria, 32, as they make more inroads into the Hollywood society. They are pals with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and are rumoured to want to move to LA when David retires.
Maddox has shown promise? Ummm......HE'S FIVE YEARS OLD! About the only promise he could show is to not take a shit in his diapers while he's running around the field. When I was a little boy, my kindergarten teacher told my mom I had academic promise. But that was only because I didn't eat as much paste as the other kids.
