More Money
I can say one good thing about OK Magazine - they’ve got some good people running their photoshop program. The photo on the front of this cover actually looks like Shiloh and Suri were in the same place at around the same time - very cool. I can hate the magazine and still respect the talent behind the scenes - especially when someone has THAT much skill with photoshop. I’d love to learn how to do it that well!
Anyway, the big story of the day is, of course, merely speculation. Since Brad and Angie are keeping everyone under wraps really well, the paparazzi is choosing to use their name to bring in money (of course). Everyone now is saying that if Jennifer Lopez got 6 million for photos of her twins, Brad and Angie can expect to get at least 8 million, if not 10 million, for photos of their twins.
First of all, no one has said that she is having twins. She was about the same size with Shiloh, so I’m guessing that there is only one baby there until I see photographic evidence that shows that she’s larger than she should be. Secondly, who cares how much money they make? I say this because every time they make money off of things like that they donate it all to charity, unlike Jennifer Lopez or Christina Aguilera who haven’t said what they’re doing with their money.
I think that it is smart for Brad and Angie to get paid for the photos and then to donate the money. Everyone knows that the paparazzi are going to be jumping on them when the baby is finally born, so why not get the upper hand, offer beautiful photographs that they can keep, and donate the money where it can be used for the most good?
Sorry if I haven’t been in the best of moods lately dear readers - the dreadful virus that has been traveling around my area finally landed in this house (we always catch it on the tail end - just when we think we’re free of it), so I’ve become best friends with Aleve Cold & Sinus and the orange juice bottle again…

Donate money for charity is the best they can do.

You’re so right, Randi. Given the choice, I don’t think Brad and Angie would want to have the picture of their children bandied around magazines, but the fact is the paps will be on them once Angie gives birth (they’ve been on them all the time), and that’s a scary thought. So since they won’t be able to prevent the paps anyway, might as well beat them to it and give the money away like they did with Shiloh’s pics. Some people take issue with that, saying they shouldn’t do it because they’re pimping for charity, but I don’t agree with that. If they don’t do it, there’s even a chance that the paps would do anything, even to the extent of endangering the life of the kids, just to get their pics and their money. So, might as well make the best of a bad situation, and give to those in need.

Like I always say, exploiting children is not a good thing. Shame on the tabloids for exploiting the children.
