Angelina Jolie Back on Top of Baby Bid War

A long time ago the Star bought Lisa Marie Presley’s baby pictures back in 1989 for $100,000, and everyone was shocked. Today baby pictures are a big business with an escalating price war. Recently Angelina Jolie was on top when she sold Shiloh’s pictures for $4 million. Nicole Richie got $1 million, Christina Aguilera got $1.5 to $2 million, and Jennifer Lopez got a reported $6 million for pictures of her twins.

Now Angelina Jolie is reported to be pregnant with twins. The bidding war has already begun with bids ranging from $8 to $10 million.

Jennifer Lopez Twins First Picture

Jennifer Lopez presented her twins, Max and Emme, on the cover of People Magazine. People paid $6 million for these pictures. The cover looks a lot better without Marc Anthony on it. I think Lopez is great, but I don’t see the public having the same kind of interest in her babies as there is in Angelina Jolie’s baby. People probably won’t break even on this issue.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony After the Babies

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony went out to dinner in Manhattan, New York last night. Max and Emme stayed home to avoid the paparazzi. Their pictures are worth a lot of money right now, so they are being kept under wraps. Jennifer looks great, but Marc looks like he’s been pulling triple diaper duty shifts. He’s haggard.

Nicole Richie and Christina Aguilera Cover War

Nicole Richie upset Christina Aguilera when it was reported that Nicole’s baby cover outsold Christina’s. Drama sells. MSNBC reports:

“There’s also a greater element of curiosity with Nicole. She’s gone public about being a heroin addict. Her boyfriend is covered in tattoos. By default, she’s got the more interesting baby. People want to see how she settles down. They want to see what kind of baby someone with her background has.”

By interesting, they mean the baby of a heroin addict. Trainwrecks sell, rags to ritches sells, and recovering addicts sell. We love to see celebrities destroy themselves, then come back from the ashes of their life to become an even bigger success. Once Britney gets better she could be a great example. Now we’ll have to see if Jennifer Lopez’s babies were worth the $6 million People paid for her twin baby pictures.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony Name Their Twins

Jennifer Lopez (38) and Marc Anthony’s (39) newborn twins are named Max and Emme, Lopez’s manager Simon Fields officially confirmed. Their son and daughter were born on February 22. Emme was born at 12:12 a.m. and weighed 5 lbs. 7 oz., and Max followed at 12:23 a.m., weighing 6 lbs.

Congrats. Get ready for some expensive baby pics coming soon.
