How much would you pay for a picture of the Jolie-Pitt baby?
The NY Post reports:
THE birth of the world’s sexiest baby is still two or more months away, but already the celebrity magazines are preparing to bid heavily for the first photos of the offspring of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Some sources think that the war could end up breaking the old record set by the photos from Catherine Zeta Jones’ wedding to Michael Douglas, won by OK! in 2000, or the more recent Britney Spears baby photo that People snagged.
“Those two magazines are just going to bid it up into the millions,” said one editor who is sitting it out. “It could end up being the biggest photo sale of all time.”
The price tag could reach $4 million. People Managing Editor Larry Hackett said, “I’d love to have these photographs, but it has to make sense editorially, journalistically and from a business standpoint.” Time Inc. as a company has a policy of not paying celebrities for news photos, but in the “first bump” photos of Angelina, revealing that she and Brad were expecting company, got around that sticking point by donating an estimated $400,000 to a favorite charity of the happy parents.
