Hark! The Brangelina Twins Are Coming!
People.com announces the day/time of first photo release
August 1st, 2008
Set your clocks and calendars, y’all … People.com has announced that they will release the first official photo of Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, better known as the Brangelina twins, online this Sunday evening at 7pm ET:
I guess the rumors that People magazine shelled out the big bucks for the first photos of the twins are true … and I understand that the kids were photographed last week and the publication rights will be split between People in the US and Hello magazine in Europe. Where will you be come 7pm ET this Sunday night?

Well at least this crazy baby picture money is going to charity, is it not?

It goes to show how much money is out there that can be given to help the less fortunate, but instead they rather spend it elsewhere. Thanks to Brand and Angie, this money will get to those that needs it.

I meant Brad and Angie :)

Good for whichever charity they donate to, but the joke is on People and Hello because all babies look pretty much the same. It’s hilarious to me that people get so excited about the FIRST PICTURES, when I can’t tell Harlow from Shiloh, and they probably can’t either.

The pics will also be published in HELLO! Canada for Canadian fans!!

So I have a plan. If we all go online to the people website and browse around there for a few mins when the pictures are released, People’s ad revenue will go up, and Brad and Angelina will be able to ask for more money next time (though they’re prob. done for a while now ;), which means, in the long run, more money will be going to charity. So really, going online at 7pm to the People site, is like a future donation to charity.
Ok, thats bunk, I know. At least I tried to make myself feel better and less like I’ll be contributing to the invasion of their privacy…either way I can’t wait for Sunday!

Person close to deal: Jolie-Pitt pix for $14 mil
By ERIN CARLSON
Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Exclusive photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s newborn twins fetched $14 million, a person involved in the negotiations told The Associated Press, giving People magazine and a British tabloid joint rights to publish the most expensive celebrity pictures ever sold.
The person asked not to be named because he was not authorized to release the figure. People will feature twin babies Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon in an issue to hit newsstands Monday, spokeswoman Nancy Valentino said Friday.
The money - more than double the $6 million People paid for Jennifer Lopez’ twins on a March cover, according to Forbes - will go to a foundation created by Pitt and Jolie that largely focuses on helping children around the world.
It’s the second time the celebrity weekly won the North American rights to the couple’s first-look baby pictures, and the third time they’ve worked with the two magazines in exchange for a hefty donation to charity.
“We’re thrilled to be able to feature these pictures in People,” managing editor Larry Hackett said in a statement.
People will split the bill with London-based Hello! magazine, which has worldwide rights; particulars of the division were not disclosed. People.com will unveil the first photo online Sunday evening.
Even before the babies were born July 12 in Nice, France, the speculation began over which celeb mag would come out on top of an inevitable bidding war. The couple ultimately chose to go a familiar route with its joint deal between People and Hello!, with Getty Images as the photographer and go-between.
People ponied up a reported $4 million donation for the U.S. rights to the first shots of their daughter Shiloh, now 2 years old, while Hello! obtained the British rights. And last year, the couple sold intimate shots of their son Pax, then 3 years old, to Hello! and People.
Getty Images, which was involved in the Shiloh deal, also took part this time around. In a statement, Getty co-founder and CEO Jonathan Klein said his company was “delighted that all proceeds from these stunning images will once again be donated entirely to charity.”
When People the published six photos of Pitt, Jolie and baby Shiloh in June 2006, the issue moved 2.2 million copies, its biggest seller at the time going back to its 4 million-selling 9/11 special, Media Week reported at the time.
Jolie, 33, and Pitt, 44, established their foundation that year. They donated $1 million in June to The Education Partnership for Children of Conflict to help children affected by the war in Iraq. Last year, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation gave more than $300,000 to support the International Rescue Committee’s relief program for Darfur refugees.

I’m definitely going to check out the website, all baby’s look a like, but I’m just curious about it cause i’ve been seeing it all over the place. i’m glad the money is going to charity. that’s a lot of money for just for a picture….but well worth it, the money is going to help a lot of people.
