One of the biggest news stories this week, of course, is that Angelina and Brad sold their baby photos for $14 mil (to People magazine and a British mag), which is the highest amount ever paid for celebrity photographs.
What I don't understand is why people are so desperate to see these pics. Weird. I have no doubt that the babies are absolutely adorable, but they're newborns. They are going to look like newborns -- which is to say like any other baby.
The ever-humanitarian Jolie-Pitts will donate the millions from the sale of the photographs to a charity that focuses on helping children around the world which helps to counter-balance the annoying factor of this whole thing. (Though, a friend of mine recently told me that most of these celebrity charities never really get off the ground, but who I am to say any more on that when I don't really know the facts...)
After reading about all this -- it was the main headline on Yahoo! when I logged in -- I also learned that Jolie got pregnant by in vitro. Apparently the two "couldn't wait" to have more babies and this way they could get knocked up immediately without having "to try to get pregnant."
Why can't they wait? Why do they need so many babies?
At the rate these two are going they may give that 44-year-old woman in Canada who just gave birth to her 18th child a run for her money.
One caveat, though, is that Jolie might have to let go of her sex appeal if she has 14 kids (see pic above).
