Settling in to life in Richmond: Angelina Jolie takes Shiloh and Zahara to their favourite local toy shop

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER



Their local toy shop: Angelina Jolie and her girls Zahara and Shiloh visited their local toy shop in Richmond, one they visited two weeks ago



They have been taking in the sights and sounds of London and given their bank balance Hollywood A-listers Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt could spoil their brood rotten.



But today the Salt actress decided to take her actress to a family-run toyshop in Richmond, one she visited two weeks ago.



Angelina, 36, went on a low-key shopping spree with two of her daughters Shiloh, five, and Zahara, six.





Modest spend: Speaking to MailOnline Karen Khatchik, who runs the store said: 'She bought lots of small items like craft-making, stickers, tattoos, they were things for a trip they have planned'





The threesome visited Toy Station in Richmond, a local shop they have visited before.



Speaking to MailOnline, Karen Khatchik, who runs the store with her husband and sister-in-law, said: 'She bought lots of small items like craft-making, stickers, tattoos, they were things for a trip they have planned.'



But while Jolie and beau Brad could afford to buy the entire stock in the shop Karen said the mother-of-six spent no more than her other customers.





Lovely girls: The shop owner said that the girls were very chatty and animated as they looked at the items in the shop





Mrs Khatchik said: 'Angelina was so nice, she shook hands with me and she gave me a birthday card after I revealed it was our 15th anniversary.'



'The family came to the shop before and Angelina said they really liked it here and the children wanted to come back.





Thoughtful gesture: Angelina wrote a card for the shop owner Karen after she told her it was their fifteenth anniversary at the shop





Local haunt: The famous family visited The Toy Station in Richmond earlier today, their second visit to the local shop





And speaking of the two little girls Karen told MailOnline: 'They are lovely children, chatting to me and they were telling me a lot about what characters they liked and didn't like.'



The trip to the toy store comes just a day after the girls, along with their brothers Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, enjoyed a trip to watch Shrek The Musical at the Drury Lane theatre.





Family treat: Angelina took her four oldest children to see Shrek The Musical in London yesterday





All lined up: The family made their way out of the theatre with Maddox ahead of Shiloh and Zahara and Angelina at the back





Brad Pitt was absent from the party as were the couple’s youngest children, three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.



On Saturday the A-list couple were seen with their three youngest children who they treated to a performance of The Three Little Pigs And The Wolf at the Puppet Theatre Barge.





Girls together: As the female members of the family left the theatre Shiloh couldn't resist sticking her tongue out at the crowd





Centre of attention: The family caused a stir at the theatre and a crowd had gathered to see them leave





The A-list elite are on UK shores in Surrey while the Fight Club actor shoots his latest film World War Z.



As the name suggests, the unique 50-seat auditorium floats on water.



The shows are aimed at children and adults, with the boat moored in Little Venice throughout the year and in Richmond during the summer.





In you go: Angelina helped each one of her children into the van after the performance of Shrek the Musical







Chic style: The actress wore an all-black ensemble for the outing with four of her children while Brad and her twins Knox and Vivienne did not attend the theatre trip





The family have taken full advantage of their time across the Atlantic in the UK, with various shopping trips, a trip to the West End to see the musical Wicked and even a visit to the rather unglamorous Halfords.



It was rumoured that Maddox was set to make his film debut in a Battling Boy, a film produced by his father, but a spokesperson has just denied it.





Day out: Brad and Angelina take their brood to The Puppet Theatre Barge in Surrey where they are staying while the Fight Club star films World War Z





Happy families: Shiloh plays ahead of her parents as they keep the youngest of the brood close to them





All aboard: Brangelina keep a watchful eye on the kids so they don't fall overboard





Not exactly the red carpet: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt visit Halfords in Isleworth with three of their children







Can't we go to the park? Maddox, Zahara and Pax don't look too happy to be dragged around the shops

Steely Sandra Bullock looks uncannily like Terminator star Linda Hamilton as she steps out in Texas

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER



Just like Linda: Sandra Bullock looked uncannily like Terminator star Linda Hamilton as she shopped in Texas this weekend



With her brown hair pulled back, aviator shades and black vest top, Sandra Bullock looked like she had just stepped out of a Terminator film.



Her studded belt and steely glare bore an uncanny resemblance to Terminator lead actress Linda Hamilton.



All that was missing was Hamilton's machine gun which she carried in the sci-fi action franchise, which famously starred Arnold Schwarzenegger.





Uncanny: Bullock's black vest, aviator sunglasses and tied back hair resembled Hamilton's (right) appearance in the Terminator franchise





The 47-year-old actress added a pair of un-Terminator-like green cropped trousers and ballet pumps to the outfit while shopping near her home of Austin Texas at the weekend.



She was without her adorable 19-month-old adopted son Louis as she ran errands in the town.



Despite her resemblance to Hamilton, Bullock's current fortunes are currently very different to the 1980s star.





Career high: Sandra Bullock's career has hit new heights in recent years, while Hamilton's has petered out a little





While Bullock's career has gone from strength to strength - last year winning an Oscar for The Blind Side - Hamilton's has petered out somewhat after the Terminator franchise.



After Terminator 2: Judgement Day proved a smash hit at the box office back in 1991, she did not appear in the sequel Terminator 3.



She went on to star in hit film Dante's Peak with Pierce Brosnan in 1997 and has had small parts in TV series Chuck and Weeds since then.



Meanwhile, Bullock will next be seen starring alongside Tom Hanks in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, a film adaptation of the Jonathan Safran Foer book.

Talented or talentless? Despina, Frankie, Everyll and Sarah will try their luck on the show, which starts on Saturday





The cull came as a massive shock to contestants but clearly demonstrated that this year’s X Factor is set to be the toughest yet.



And it will also be the biggest with bootcamp contestants set to audition in front of thousands and the show will be ending with a gigantic live final at Wembley Arena in front of 10,000 fans.



While Kelly has admitted that she has a ‘nurturing side’ she will also be straight talking and speaking of giving feedback to contestants she said: ‘I would never want to sugar-coat anything.’





Dressed to impress: Girl group Glow perform, but did they make it to bootcamp?





And the former Destiny’s Child signer believes she can perform, and win, with whatever category she is given and said: ‘I am confident that I can do well in all categories because the talent is there.’



She added: ‘I know once the competition stars things will get competitive! We’re competitive people!’



Meanwhile Tulisa is keeping schtum about which group she would like to work with and said: ‘I don’t want the other judges to know who I want as they might try and grab them.’





Glamour girls: While Tulisa and Kelly have said the new panel gets on great they have both displayed their competitive edge and want to be the one to win the competition





Gary has tipped the northern leg of the auditions as the best and said: 'Liverpool and Manchester have been stand out cities for me.'



While Louis added: 'Glasgow and Cardiff especially surprised us this year.'



And speaking of how Gary took Simon's role on day one the Irish music mogul said: 'I was expecting to be head judge this year, but on day one Gary stole my head judge mug and sat in Simon's old seat... there's always next year.



The new series of the X Factor starts on Saturday on ITV1.
