Brad and Angelina's babies worth $20 million, and don't call them 'Brangelina'
The insatiable cravings for pictures of celebrity babies confound me. Newborns -- no matter their genetic bounties -- look like lumps with nostrils.
Still, that hasn't stopped the celeb rags from fighting over exclusive photos of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's soon-to-be-born twins. According to TMZ, the bidding is up to $16 million. (And rumor has it that tabs will go as high as $20 million.) There is one restriction though: The couple reportedly hates to be known for their mash-up moniker "Brangelina" and will not allow it to be used with published photos.
My past post that criticized J.Lo for pocketing money for her baby pictures summoned a lot of flack. But I stand by my stance. Selling pics of your babies, while grousing about the paparazzi, is like buying a dozen Hummers and joining Greenpeace. Most likely, Jolie and Pitt will donate their loot to charity.
Oh, and don't expect shots of Jolie in labor. TMZ also reports that the hospital in France, where she will give birth, has treated its windows with paparazzi proof coating to prevent snaps.
Maybe for an extra $5 million though?

They aren't going to donate that money to ANY charity EXCEPT THEIR OWN. (Can anyone say "tax shelter"? )Their net worth DROPPED $50 MILLION , from $200 mil to $150 mil between 2006-7; you bet THEY need that money BADLY. Jolie brought $50 mil of net worth to that relationship; they've been on BRAD'S DIME for quite some time now! given that brad disappeared for a month, and Jolie had to get herself admitted to hospital to get him to come BACK to her; you can be SURE this relationship is SINKING...and gee, what will Jo-LIAR do THEN? Ask for BIIIIG CHILD SUPPORT, no doubt!

envious much Vajranagini?
"Their net worth DROPPED $50 MILLION , from $200 mil to $150 mil between 2006-7; you bet THEY need that money BADLY."
Yeah right
Oh no! we only have $150 million instead of $200 million! Whatever shall we do??! Now that we're so poor we have to take our 6 kids and live under a bridge.
Vajranagini .... first of all... Angelina doesn't need child support. She's been supporting herself and her kids before Brad even entered the picture.
Secondly she gives a thrid of her income to charity.... Yeah! they need money BAD for her to do that!!
thirdly... what makes you an expert on brad pitt's relationship for you to say:
" Jolie had to get herself admitted to hospital to get him to come BACK to her; you can be SURE this relationship is SINKING"
fourthly You call her Jo-LIAR.... WHY exactly? You failed to explain your completely random and airheaded commentry.
And lastly "Ask for BIIIIG CHILD SUPPORT, no doubt"
who cares. Every mother in the world is entitled to child support from the father of her children.
I think you're ignorant and deliberately obtuse. The photos they sold of Shiloh made LOADS of money and it DID go to charity.... And you know what... Even if they kept every cent of it, I wouldn't care, considering how much they are harrassed by media and television and paparazies for pictures... Its about time they were paid for their inconvenience.
Catch a wakeup and perhaps some sense and respect before making weak statements of hate on online forums

Good going Bagira, I dont know why people think they have to right to judge people b/c they are famous. I think Brad and Angelina are both awesome, together and seperate, but I dont even begin to assume anything about them just b/c their business is slapped all over the tabloids, and just b/c it is doesn't make it true. Just b/c you see these people's faces all the time doesn't mean you know them.

What I can't stand about this whole thing is how did those two become so "saintly" just because they adopt and help children...ok that is a wonderful thing that they do yes. BUT why doesn't anyone remember how this union came about. Brad cheating on his wife with a well know Hollywood whore, who I chose to call Whoralina. What they did was disgusting!! Jennifer Aniston is a class act and I can not even imagine the pain the two of these people caused her.
Wake up folks!!

I'll still call them Brangelina. They didn't mind us calling them Brangelina before. Why now? Are they preparing to split so they want their name to separate?
