Vivienne Jolie-Pitt

Vivienne Jolie-Pitt
Walt Disney Studios has confirmed that 4-year-old Vivienne Jolie-Pitt -- daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie -- will play a minor role as the child version of Princess Aurora in "Maleficent."
-
Willow Smith
The 11-year-old "Whip My Hair" singer is gearing up to play Annie in a remake of the 1982 movie, which Will Smith is said to be producing … it helps to have a super-famous dad.
-
Jaden Smith
14-year-old Jaden appeared in "The Pursuit of Happyness" and "The Karate Kid" remake -- wish Will Smith was our dad!
-
Lourdes Leon
15-year-old Lourdes designs the "Material Girl" line with her mom, Madonna … yep, we'd say mom gave her a head start in the fashion biz.
-
Tori Spelling
Spelling is pretty much the face of nepotism. Her producer dad Aaron Spelling put her in his hit TV show "Beverly Hills, 90210" as a teenager, even though she had little acting talent to speak of.
-
Emma Roberts
Of getting help from her aunt, Julia Roberts, Emma told PopEater: "I think [talk of nepotism] is so ridiculous considering it's obviously not true ... I've auditioned for so many things and never gotten the part."
-
Angelina Jolie
Jolie herself was born into Hollywood royalty. The daughter of "Midnight Cowboy" star Jon Voight, she nabbed her first role in her dad's flick "Lookin' to Get Out" when she was only seven.
-
Miley Cyrus
Daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley nabbed her first role on her dad's TV series "Doc."
-
Gwyneth Paltrow
She may be an Oscar winner, but Paltrow was born into the biz: She is the daughter of actress Blythe Danner and film producer/director Bruce Paltrow.

Walt Disney Studios has confirmed that 4-year-old Vivienne Jolie-Pitt -- daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie -- will play a minor role as the child version of Princess Aurora in "Maleficent," the upcoming movie about the "Sleeping Beauty" villain. Jolie, of course, stars as Maleficent, and Elle Fanning will play the older Princess Aurora.
A bit of nepotism at play here? We'd say so. But Jolie herself was born into Hollywood royalty. The daughter of "Midnight Cowboy" star Jon Voight, she nabbed her first role in her dad's flick "Lookin' To Get Out" when she was only seven.
Angie and Vivi aren't the only movie stars to get a little "help" from their famous relatives. Will Smith's kids Willow and Jaden are blazing their way through the entertainment biz, and Tori Spelling and Miley Cyrus certainly got a little "boost" when they were young.
From Vivienne to Willow to Emma Roberts, click through our slideshow and let us know: Which celeb kid had an unfair advantage?

U need to get on with yer OWN lives
The only two I can see who justified their talents are Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow. Even if you don't like them you can't deny the talent they have. Who knows, maybe Vivienne will turn out to be a great actress like her mom.
Who cares? Silly question indeed.
It's an arbitrary question because no one may agree on what's FAIR. If there is advantage to take, you are pretty silly if you don't take it (so long as it's legal).
