If you haven't already heard (aka been living under a rock), Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie welcomed the latest addition to their massively-growing brood over the weekend -- this time twins Knox Leon & Vivienne Marcheline. And honestly, I really love the unusual yet kind gorgeous names, which are said to mostly come from various family names (Marcheline is Angelina's late mother's name, for one).
But as soon as these two little bundles of joy came into the world, the newest media scramble became: How much will someone pay for the first photos of the Jolie-Pitt babes? Celebrity baby photos are BIG business these days. Jennifer Lopez gave hers up for $6 million, and even little Jamie-Lynn Spears parted with exclusive shots for no less than a cool million. The new Jolie-Pitt pics are said to go for no less than $11 million with a likely price tag of close to $20 million. Nuts!
The amazing thing about these two is that, the last time they sold off baby snaps after the birth of daughter
Now, taking a look over this list of the top 10 most expensive celebrity baby photos, I'm adding up roughly 25.6 million bucks (
So, say what you will about Brad and Angelina's decision to sell of their little ones' pictures to the highest bidder, but at least that incredibly irrational amount of money that some moron is willing to pay will go to very good use.
Do you think that more celebs should follow their lead and give up some of those big baby bucks for good? And while you're commenting, tell us what you think of the twins' colorful names. You love them like I do, or not so much?
Remember when Maxim.com named Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker "The Unsexiest Woman Alive?”
At the time, SJP said the insult was “brutal” and filled with rage and anger,” but numerous other nasty assaults including sarahjessicaparkerlookslikeahorse.com and a scathing review from the New York Observer insulting her mole on the big screen claiming, “you would make a wonderful Halloween witch.” But guess what - the actress has gone and gotten her little friend removed! Her mole was noticeably absent at the All-Star Game on Tuesday. “It’s true. She did have it done," says a friend of Parkers. "There was no reason for it, it wasn’t because she didn’t like her mole, and it wasn’t because of any medical reason, it was simply because she was in the mood to have it removed. That’s all.”
Well, call it coincidence or a magazine staffer turned guilty, but Maxim is now making nice in their August issue, naming their once unsexiest star their "Unexpected Crush.”
Do you think Maxim trying to make good now is too little too late and while you’re commenting, what do you think of Sarah Jessica’s mole removal? [NY Post][US Weekly]
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are hands-on parents to twins Max and Emme -- by necessity.
While the rest of the world is preoccupied with the arrival of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s newborns, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony could use a little help with their own set of twins. According to the National Enquirer, babies Max and Emme need a new nanny after their last one walked off the job.
“Probably more like running off the job,” an insider told the magazine. “Normally people who make huge sums of money and have loads of professional and social obligations hire a nanny for each child, especially for newborns. But it is as if Jennifer expects one nanny not only to take care of both twins, but to work 16-hour days, seven days a week!”
That grueling schedule allegedly led the first nanny to leave after just one week of watching the wee ones. The next caregiver lasted a bit longer, but eventually the diva’s demands wore her out, too, leaving the position vacant.
“They hired a second nanny, who was wonderful with the twins, but she couldn’t take working such long hours without a break,” the source said. “After that nanny resigned, the couple began desperately seeking nanny No. 3.”

According to Star magazine, Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson are having a baby girl, and she might be born on Halloween, which thrilled the emo rocker.
In just over three months, Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson will have a little girl, according to a report in the latest issue of Star magazine. Earlier this month, rumor had it the couple registered for all blue baby items, but a source close to the couple says the family doctor assured them the future is looking pink.
“Ashlee and Pete are on cloud nine,” the insider told the magazine. “The doctor told them they actually conceived the baby just before Valentine’s Day while they were on vacation and has given them an initial due date of Oct. 31.”
Apparently the prospect of sharing an especially happy Halloween with his daughter-to-be thrilled the Fall Out Boy bassist.
“When Pete heard he might have his baby on Halloween, he went nuts,” the source revealed. “For an emo-rocker type like Pete, that would be just too perfect!”
