funny, but Angelina has decked out the twins’ nursery to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, bought a $17,000 pacifier for Shiloh, etc.
If you read the news, you’ll find that the photo shoot was carefully choreographed to make them look like Mr. & Mrs. Normal using plain walls in the background and keeping people from seeing how they really live and dress. The news says it will now probably be a “standard” in Hollywood photo shoots and that “casual” is very hard to pull off.

I am a fan of Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez, but when I saw the pictures of the beautiful little twins I was a little put off. I am surprised that Marc went along with something like that. He is a very private person and that is why we do not see pictures of his other children. As much as I like them as performers I wondered if they donated the money, however much it was, to charity. Now Brad and Angelina are different we all know for a fact what they do with their money. A great deal of it goes to charity. Also, Angelina is not a showy type of person. Looking at the pictures of Shiloh and Suri proves that. Suri is always well turned out in name brand clothes and then there is the Jolie-Pitt children who are dressed like “normal” children. We can identify with this family for that reason. If they are going to an important function they dress to kill, but on any given day they and their children look like us. And if you remember the pictures from when Shiloh was born, it showed a mother and father looking at their newborn with all the love in the world. Simple and down to earth. No fancy clothes or fancy nursery.

I think that People’s editor talked about the subject of first baby photos once (I could be wrong, but I remember a very interesting article from a little while ago) and acknowledge that they’re while they’ll never recoup the cost they spend on the photo rights (when it’s in the realm of $3mill and upwards) through increased magazine sales alone, it’s still a worthwhile purchase because it does boost the magazine’s image. They see it is a long term investment. People currently leads that race, I think – when people think of new celeb baby photoshoots, People is the magazine that would come to mind (With Shiloh, Pax, Nicole Ritchie’s Harlow, Christina Aguilera’s Max, JLo’s twins etc) so they’ve been extremely successful in building their brand.

Living in Australia I have a sort of outsiders perspective on the whole thing, though… we have about five weekly magazines here too, and they’re sort of similar but a bit different to the US magazines (which are also available here in some bookstores). It’s funny watching the evolution of a rumour… first it starts on some site, then a magazine with a deadline to contend with during a slow week decides to run with it… a week later and it’s making its run through the Australian magazines, lol. I wonder if many people actually do take the stories in Star and In Touch and those sort of magazines as gospel?

Interesting post Sherry, sorry for rambling on! ^_^ I love discussing this stuff, even though in an ideal world Angie and Brad would never have to deal with these issues.

Hey Sherry,

Star magazine’s website is reporting that Brad and Angelina got married in New Orleans today. Any confirmation?

Do the magazines sell the pictures on after their publication is out? If so, then they may pay big money, I suppose. I think its a good thing to do as they give the money to charity and the paps will get the photos anyway.

I will never believe that someone actually paid Jlo 6 mil for pictures of her babies, I know she has this illusion that she’s famous but I feel sorry for her. I have no affection for people who loves to wear fur showing support to those who murder animals for fashion, she’s as sick as them. So shiloh got 4mil from people and 4mil from a british magazine, total of 8mil and Jlo got 6mil, come on, I have to see the check to even believe this lies.

I red the same things, except that she’s expecting twins. The same source, that was claiming a few months ago, that Angelina is pregnant. Hmmm, wonder if there is something in it? :)
