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?
