There is a new *pout* in Angelina Jolie's household--and it's not Brad. Jolie welcomed an adopted Ethiopian daughter named Zahara.

It's slang I've never heard, MsD. It sounds like it refers to a loved one (especially a lover or child)... If that is true, it is that you pout about them at times. (That is, you fuss over them, worry about them, get angry at them, etc.).

I've never heard it in this context either, but it could be refering directly to the new child as a pout. When children are young, they usually pout (whine, cry and act sorry for themselves) when they don't get their way.

Additionally, Angelina Jolie is known for her full pouty lips. The implication could be that there is another pouty face around the house (i.e. a whiny pouty child).
