The bidding war between high profile gossip magazines for the exclusive “first” rights to publish baby pictures of Brangelina’s newborn twins has just reached epic new heights, with the current bid standing at $16 million!

And the price is still rising!!

Sixteen million kinda makes Levi McConaughey’s measley $3 million look like chicken feed…

Angelina Jolie has put out an ultimatum to gossip mags across the globe: don’t call Brad and I “Brangelina”… or else!

The Tomb Raider star reportedly hates the paparazzi-dubbed nickname so much that she’s forbidden the winning bidder of her twins’ first pictures to use it. According to a source, if the magazine wants to publish the pictures, they have to agree to stop saying the offensive nickname.

Brangelina, Brangelina, BRANGELINA! I guess that means we don’t get to post any pictures. Damn.

With a brood of four already at home and two more on the way, you’d think Angelina and Brad would be quite content with their larger-than-average family. Wrong!

OK! magazine is reporting today that Hollywood super-couple Brangelina have already started making plans to add another child to their ever-growing family, hoping to adopt a baby boy from Ethiopia.

An insider told the magazine: “Angie and Brad have wanted an African boy for the last couple of years.

“They were initially going to have that adoption follow the addition of Pax last year, but that all changed when Angie got pregnant with twins last fall.”

The insider added: “Angelina was pretty far along in the process of adopting a beautiful baby that captured the couple’s heart when she and Brad got the surprise of their life and found out they were expecting.”

This is getting beyond ridiculous now! Can’t someone step in and stop Brangelina in the same manner that Paris Hilton was banned from buying more puppies?

Wanna be the first to display pics of Brangelina’s newborn twins? Then be prepared to cough up the $$$!

TMZ.com is reporting that the bidding for the exclusive “first” has reached the insane amount of $15 million – and is expected to go higher still, as the bidding war continues between two of the top gossip magazines in the world.

According to a source, only gossip heavyweights People and OK! have been left standing, with a spy from one of the magazines revealing that they would “print blank pages” for the rest of the year if it meant they would get the exclusive rights to the photographs.

The deal is apparently still up in the air, with Brad and Ange holding out to get the most money possible for the baby snaps. Rumour has it the millions will be donated to charity.

When contacted, Brangelina’s peeps refused to comment, but a rep for People magazine admitted: “We’d love to see the photos in People. We wish the family well.” A rep for OK! added that they would be “foolish” not to make a bid.

Recently, People paid a whopping seven-figure amount to Ashlee Simpson for the exclusive photographic rights to her May 17 wedding to rocker Pete Wentz.
