I love Jamie Oliver for how he can cook up a storm and speak about it as if it is a royal’s meal. Yet sometimes Jamie Oliver’s words come out not the way he intended (or did he? …)

Jamie Oliver, well know of course from The Naked Chef and Angelina Jolie equally famous wife of Mister Pitt had kind of a "misunderstanding".

All started when nice celebrity chef Jamie Oliver watched Angelina Jolie’s Beowulf and had to ring the actress up.

While Jamie was blushing not to mention Angelina Jolie’s hotness in the movie, our chef did what he does best: cooking up a storm with a split of the tongue by calling Angelina and Brad Pitt’s daughter “Piloh Shit” instead of “Shiloh Pitt.”

Now knowing Jamie Oliver, does he do things like that on purpose or not?
