Shiloh Jolie-Pitt: The Duchess of URL
Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt is the baby who has everything--a doting Angelina Jolie, a doting Brad Pitt, two siblings, and at least three URLs.
The domain names ShilohNouvelJolie-Pitt.com, ShilohPitt.com and ShilohNouvel.com, and even more variations, were snapped up by Jolie through her Los Angeles lawyer on Saturday, the same day the Oscar-winning actress gave birth a world away in Namibia, online records show.
Blogs have been on the Jolie-Pitt URL trail for days--popbytes.com drew attention to ShilohNouvelJoliePitt.com (no hyphen) within hours of its creation last weekend; ReveNews.com smoked out ShilohNouvelJolie-Pitt.com (one hyphen) on Wednesday. Shmuly Tennenhaus, the ReveNews.com blogger, even found a gag Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt MySpace page: "Shiloh's interests: "Africa, eating."
Jolie attorney Evan Spiegel wouldn't comment on the URL registrations Thursday. It's understood, however, that the practice is one that his firm, Lavely & Singer, commonly provides for clients seeking online security.
Previously, Lavely & Singer registered MaddoxJolie-Pitt.com and ZaharaJolie-Pitt.com on behalf of Jolie. Those URLs were created last December, just days after Pitt confirmed he was seeking to become the adoptive father of Jolie's two older children, Maddox and Zahara. In January, a Santa Monica, California, court approved the addition of Pitt's surname to the children's.
Similarly, SeanPrestonFederline.com, after Britney Spears and husband Kevin Federline's first child, was registered to Spears through the firm. Unlike the Jolie URLs, SeanPrestonFederline.com was pounced on by a party other than the celebrity mother before Lavely & Singer got it back for her.
Apparently leaving nothing to chance, or cyber-squatters, Goldring, Hertz & Lichtenstein, the Beverly Hills law firm representing No Doubt rocker Gwen Stefani, registered at least one URL in her name for her and husband Gavin Rossdale's newborn, Kingston James McGregor Rossdale, on May 25, online records show. That's a day before press reports had the baby boy, late of KingstonRossdale.com, being born.
While celebrities may have special security concerns, they're not the only parents giving their babies head starts on the Web.
"WeÂ?ve noticed that this [Websites for babies] is a trend," Sally Lee, editor in chief of Parents magazine said Thursday in a statement responding to a request for comment. "Technology has been a major communications tool for parents for keeping friends and family up to date. It's certainly a no-stress way of showing the baby's arrival."
Owing to those special security concerns, though, none of the URLs for the offspring of Jolie/Pitt, Spears/Federline and/or Stefani/Rossdale actually lead to Websites. Apparently, that only happens if you don't register your star baby's URL.
Tom Cruise's camp didn't lock up SuriCruise.com, hence the unauthorized site counting down the days, hours, minutes and seconds until Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter Suri, born Apr. 18, comes of legal age.
Offers the site: "With Tom Cruise as her father and Katie Holmes as her mother, it's not a question of whether or not Suri will be good looking, but rather how hot she'll really be!
That's one discussion Shiloh Jolie-Pitt doesn't have to face. At least not at her own URL.
