Brangelina Baby Pics Fetch Small Fortune

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.

Ashlee Simpson’s 7-Figure Wedding Photo Deal

Pimp Daddy Joe Simpson has been out on the streets, busy doing what he does best – pimping his daughters for all they’re worth.

This time, he’s managed to sell-out younger daughter, Ashlee, cutting a deal with gossip giant People magazine for the exclusive rights to the littlest Simpson’s forth-coming wedding to Fallout Boy rocker Pete Wentz.

A source close to the mag has revealed that Papa Joe has cut a HUGE deal for the exclusive picture rights, with People reportedly having to dish out “well over” one million dollars – seven figures – in order to print the glossy photographs first.

Of course, the magazine – who Staralicious has recently had a run-in with – refused to comment on just how much they paid for the cheezy pics, but stated they were thrilled that celebrities “continued to choose” them for exclusive cover shots.

A rep for People said: “We’re thrilled that celebrities continue to choose PEOPLE as the place to share their most intimate photos. We don not comment on specifics of any deals.”
