Is Jon Voight kind of losing it? Read in the daily dish:
Jon Voight has been desperately trying to repair his relationship with estranged daughter Angelina Jolie by publicly requesting to see his grandchildren, but he may have further hampered their relationship by mistakenly calling his granddaughter Shakira instead of Zahara.
The veteran actor was caught on tape at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Tea Party on Saturday, where he was doing interviews on the red carpet.
Entertainment news Web site TMZ.com has posted footage of Voight sending birthday wishes to his grandson Maddox saying, "Maddox just had a birthday. Happy birthday, Maddox! Five years old -- it's a big one! You're going to be a young man, and I send my love out to you. And send my love to ... uh ... Shakira ... and Shahira ..."
The befuddled grandfather then asked the reporter, 'Is it Shakira or Shahira?'
When the reporter replied that the correct name was Zahara, the confused Voight added, "Shahara! Shahara!"
Jolie and Brad Pitt's other daughter Shiloh Nouvel, who is three months old, failed to get a mention.
Jolie and her father haven't spoken since he went on "Access Hollywood" four years ago, urging his daughter to get help for her "mental problems."
