SubscribeBaby pics: Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie's $14M snaps of Knox, Vivienne
At long last, People has published photographic proof of the newest Brangie babies.
But you'll have to buy this week's special double issue to see the many pages of photos of the famous spawn of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
The babies - Knox and Vivienne - were photographed at just three weeks old. According to an unsourced report, worldwide rights to the snaps sold for $14 million. (People has declined to substantiate or elaborate on the reported fee.)
"It is chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time," Jolie told the mag, describing the daily duties of life at Chateau Miraval in France.
The other tykes are apparently pitching in.
"[Shiloh] and Z pick out [the twins'] clothes and help change and hold them," Jolie told People. "It's sweet – they are little mommies."
All together now, awwwwwwww...
Check out how adorable Shiloh looks holding her new baby sister. And look at little Viv's smile.
This is Cute Overload times two!

14 million dollars. Think about that for just one minute.
14... MILLION... dollars!
For photos of their babies! That is just outrageous and out of this world insane.

I had gorgeous boy/girl twins at the age of 32 and no one paid me $14M to take their pictures...

Its a win-win situation for everyone -- the charities will get the money, the magazines get to trippled their sales, Brangelina can hope that the papz will leave them alone now the pics are out and we get to satisfy our curiousity!

$14M insane? Yes, but in this celebrity-crazed society, it makes sense.
Before too much tsk-tsking, do remember the money these photos get is donated to charity. The idea behind the selling of the photos was that money was going to change hands somewhere along the way, so it might as well be used for some good.

THIS IS STUPID

I could buy at least 32 babies with that much cash.

They don't need the money. They are well known philanthropists and understand that $14 million can do a lot of good. THEY DONATED IT PEOPLE!!!
Now those celebs that keep the money when they pimp out their kids (J.Lo/Jessica Alba/Matthew McConaughey etc...)...different story.

The babies and family are so cute!
Yes, they got 14 million for the pictures! If I have that kind of power, I would want that much money so I can donate it to charity as well. And besides People magazine can write that off as charity during their income tax return and get some money back!!l!! =0) So it's a win a win situation for everyone!!
So it's NOT STUPID, you idiot!

don't these post on the internet. hmm.

As to the woman who had the twins and didn't get the 14 million, you wouldn't have given it to charity. At least the money given to Angelina and Brad will go to a good cause.

The Money was donated to charity, so i dont see what the problem is, they're doing a really good thing!!

Congratulations to the Jolie-Pitt clan and People magazine. Donating to charity is definitely the right thing to do. How dare those "other" grossly overpaid celebs keep a penny. Shame on them!

I think both covers are beautiful and the crazy money - which the magazines were more than willing to pay, will be going to charity, and that's a good thing.

Personally, I think they will not donate all to Charity thats insane, even they are rich and famous, it's almost the amount of Brad or Angelina's paid per film. So you have to think of it! Here they don't need to memorize their lines or be away with each other especially they have new babies and it needs a lot of care and attention. In fairness to them they are smart it's just a picture and they will be paid that huge amount of course "YES" would be the answer. I love Brangelina they are perfect together and looking forward in seeing more pics of the twins when they are growing up. But again, they will not really donate all to Charity thats CRAZY, be REAL!!!

Beautiful family! I can't wait to see it either!
I saw a panel interview with the paps on how much certain pics would stick intheir pocket if they were to get them on their own and I believe the money is much better spent going to charity than lining their pockets. It is a win - win situation all around.
Mags have also published pics of "the man who had a baby", various septuplets, Louise Brown, etc in recent years and going back in the past "litle Ricjky" "The Dionne Quints". so it is nothing new. only the price tag is, and since they can afford to and DO donate the money to charity to help children everywhere, what is the big outrage about?
It didn't stop you from looking at the pics did it?
Be happy for them. Babies are kind of cute, even the ones who look like "little old men" They are a gift.
If you think it is wrong....don't look, don't buy the mag.
Simple.

This is one big tax write-off...trust! Why not match the funds and be a really big shooter!

I should have added this...this will offset their earnings...BIG TIME.
Are people so naive to think this is so alturistic!

Great Publicity also, Perhaps We should give more to the world's Children. Let's Not Forget The Children,GIVE!

I have to hand it to them... they got 14m and they donated it to charity... There are still good people in this world. Also Matthew Mcconhey did not c0ollect money OK mag made a generous donation to his charity!!!!
Posted by: lovegoesalongway | August 04, 2008 at 01:03 PM
I assume "Brangelina" will be donating this obscene amount of money for pictures of their twins (who don't seem to have halos around their heads) to various charities.
And we wonder what's wrong with this country today ... look no further than $15 million shelled out for this.
Posted by: vegasgirl | August 04, 2008 at 01:09 PM
I am not buying the magazine, the pics wil be posted online at some point and time.
Posted by: Sunny | August 04, 2008 at 02:16 PM
Just to let the person that thinks the magazine can write it off as a charitable deduction. The magazine paid Angelina & Brad, Ange and Brad are the ones that get to write it off...duh!

I am really shocked at those of you that believe that the happy couple would keep any of the money. Obviously you do not follow how much they really do for charity. This was a gret opportunity for them to show off their beautiful babies and give to others in need. Maybe you should follow in their lead and think of others before yourself.
