30 Fucking Pages!
This is Saint Angelina laughing at us for already making plans to rush to the newsstands on Monday morning to plop down a few dollars for 30 pages of pictures of her precious twin messiahs. Yes, 30 fucking pages of baby pictures alone. Gawker reports that the hos at People closed the issue last night and the entire spread clocks in at around 30 pages.
I don't even want to look at 30 pages of pictures of babies I'm related to! I mean, what the hell? Here's a picture of Hard Knox with his eyes closed! Here's a picture of Vivie with her eyes closed! Oh! Here's another picture of Hard Knox with his eyes closed and his mouth is open. What's sad is, I'm still going to carefully analyze all 30 pages. I hate myself.
It was rumored that People and Hello! Magazine bought the rights for around $10-$15 million. A source told AP that the final number was $14 million. The cash will go to a foundation created by Brangelina that helps children around the world.
People should seriously find ways to make more money off of these pictures. They could put out a coffee table book and sell t-shirts. Shit, they should make wallet-sized versions of the pictures. That way Brangaloonies can carry them around in their wallets and easily show friends pictures of their "best friends' babies." Seriously, Brangaloonies will look at their friends with glazed eyes and say, "You want to see pictures of the most beautiful humans in the entire history of the world? Say yes or I'll cut you."
And in case you haven't already tattooed it onto your forehead, the first picture of the golden twins will be on People's website tomorrow at 7pm EST.

They should have just taken a picture themselves and released it for free, for the sole purpose of getting the paparazzi off their backs (not that I think this will stop there being a trail of paparazzi jizz everywhere the Holy Family decides to grace with their divine presence) They are exploiting their kids by whoring them out to the highest bidder... I don't care if the money IS going to charity.
PLEASE I HOPE NOBODY BUYS THIS CRAP, WAIT UNTIL IT SHOWS UP ON A WEBSITE [FOR FREE].
At least then magazine will realize that nobody cares and will stop spending so much money on stupid sh-t like babies photos.
But you know crazy people are going to rush out and buy the dame issue. Why? I'll never know it's just pictures of celebrities kids. What's so special? All babies look alike.
There are people stealing, starving and losing jobs and these assholes have the audacity to sell pictures of their stupid f*cking kids for $15 million?!?!?!
This right here is the downfall of humanity. The sad realization that people will pay for some dumb f-cking pictures.
Two not so great actors (so what she won an Oscar, she won it for playing her f-cking self) have kids and everybody has to see them?
GET A LIFE
are they going to do this every fucking year and a half...if so, do I have permission to move to Mozambique?
Skeletina is seen laughing at the IDEA of actually having to have sex with Brad in order to become pregnant.

I hope no one buys the mag and People goes bankrupt. Of course, everyone will run out and look at the blessed ones, but I can only hope.
She looks dirty in that picture.
And like she reeks of stank.

Apparently Angie's babies made more than her flat ass last year. Babies make more in two weeks than she did in an entire year. Oh, by what I heard she pledged all of her St. John money to go to charity and they still haven't been given the name of the charity. I don't believe for one minute that all this $$ is going to charity. IF they were smart they would have asked for Euros. Considering they are spending uber amounts abroad.

Yeah. I was noticing that, too! I guess it grew while pregnant? Or cuz she lies so much? The vanity fair article was DISGUSTING. With the one exception of the writer actually stating that she is clearly NOT perfect. But just that. One tiny sentence and the rest was angie's lies.

Yes. Effectively creating a situation of People taking all the stupid sheeple to the bank. Sad. If the money spent on a magazine were instead given to a cause like fighting hunger, it would end the problem.

30 pages of what? Do they do tricks? Are they doing Donnie and Marie covers?

Hell is full of ten-year-olds who wanted exactly the same thing!
30 million dollars could do a lot for a underdeveloped countries or a school in the inner cities. I think this country is scary how we worship celebs and willing to pay money to look at babies whom we will never meet or affect our lives. I find it so SICK. They are just babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I'm not spending a DIME on People. Instead i might just stand at the checkout counter, eat a hundred reeses peanut butter cups and smear chocolate on the pages of ALL the P. magazines in the store.
I can appreciate what they're doing for New Orleans... but I would be a CONVERTED h8tr if they gave $80 million to save animals - top of the list would be banning cats and dogs from the food supply in China. In China they keep beautiful dogs chained within 4 inches of a wall in these disgusting ugly dank cellars, no bigger than crawl spaces.
DO SOMETHING FOR REAL AND TAKE A CRACK AT STOPPING ANIMAL ABUSE. $80 million is the magic number to convert me. ;-)
Its the reason I can't h8te on Pammy. She does what she can for animals.

I kind of like Fishy, too. When she said she was going to take a break after having Apple, bitch took a break (unlike another liar who's thread we happen to be on now)! Hell, she even got ghost after baby Moses came along. But then again, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that she married a relatively low key guy who hates the press so she stays out of it for the most part.

I have to give Madge credit for that, too (although she did have little Lourdes in an issue of VF when she was a toddler - but I don't think they were the cover story, so it's not that big of a deal).
yeah sometimes a celebrity will take one photo with their child in an upscale non-tabloid Magazine like VF, or in a womans magazine. It's more how happy they are to have the child in their lives, and they don't charge obscene amounts of money for it!

Gwen Paltrow did something like what I said (letting the paps get pics immediately of Apple) and her kids don't get hounded. But then again, that's probably because Chris Martin would cut a bitch so they know better. Thank God for non-famewhoring famewhores.
Celebs need to stop being so damn greedy and start putting their kids' wellbeing first. But that won't happen anytime soon so, whatever.
I must say Gweneth does seem to put her kids wellbeing pretty high! She definatly doesn't spoil them, she truly seems to love them a great deal. She's even condemned Brad and Angelina for their behavior! I've grown to like fishy over the years. She's softened up alot.

I didn't know who that is (I'm quite lame) but I checked out her bio. She certainly has led a, umm, full life, eh? That's cool she was on the cover of the Blink CD. Wiki also had a funny, matter-of-fact summary of her "on-screen sexual behavior." I liked the fact she went from porno to kindergarten teacher to porno again. PTA-meeting attendance probably shot up when she was teaching.

Angelina is only driven by money and fame. She is the Hollywood version of Madonna.
They both manipulate the media to satisfy their egos, regardless of the
Well, at least with Madonna She does put in an effort to keep her children out of the publicity stunts. maybe she adopted little David, that's the worst of it, but she reallly doesn't whore him out, She's never put one of her kids in a magazine as an infant, the paps never got the kind of pictures of them that they get of the Jollie-Pitt Kids, and not as frequently either! I do think madonna has shown her maternal instincts with her kids!

Good point: the mags shouldn't have to spend as much on marketing when the people they put on their covers have a humongous fan base.
But you know those @#$% perfume people are spending $extra$ to get their stinky samples in the hands of all those fans, too.
Ok. Before any effing Brangeloonie goes off half-cocked - THIS IS PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUIRED BY FEDERAL LAW.
Now, I must say, the foundation was only begun in 2007, so conveniently, there is no report. We'll have to wait until 2009 to see the 2008 report. The 2007 report will most likely be just a shell.
The report, when available, will list all the trustees, beneficiaries and compensation.
You can look up any non-profit 501C(3) and get this info.
So here is what GUIDESTAR dot org says (It used to be called Charitable Universe. Used it A LOT back in my fundraising days) - it indicates there may be some information but I'd (or you or somebody) will have to pay money to see it:

Because then the paps would get all the money that the celebs could be donating to charity and/or buying a new yacht with. ;)
Personally, I prefer Ethan Hawke's approach (http://www.dlisted.com/node/27367), but I don't blame celebs for wanting even more $, and besides, who the hell would pay for pics of the offspring of a has-been (or is that a never-was?) and a nanny?
Submitted by DebFrmHell on August 2, 2008 - 10:22am.
SHeeps,
where is the 2007 report for that foundation. I have been itching to get my mitts on ANYTHING that will tell me what the income to foundation was, expenses for admin etc, and how much money actually went to charitable organizations. All I ever find is blurbs on how much was given out thru press releases. and none of it totals close to what the monies were paid for just the Shiloh pictures and that has been two yrs!
--------------------
Deb, theoretically if that foundation is registered as a 501C(3), then it's annual irs reports are available the public. There's a website called Charitable Universe dot org. If you register there, you should be able to search for the foundation and then see the financials of the last irs statement they submitted - the reports are a little better hidden than they used to be, but if you poke around long enough you should find it - PROVIDED they are giving the real name when they talk about it or some fake name. A lot of agencies and family trusts will put a name that is absolutely impossible to connect to an individual or family. Of course, done on purpose. I'd go look at Charitable Universe but i'm freakin' TIRED.
BTW, the document is called a 990. IRS Form 990.
Whether they put the money in the bank or donate it to charity, Angelina Jolie and Brad "What the Hell Happened To My Balls" Pitt are still whoring out their kids for money.

The first pics are supposed to get the most $, and thus a bigger pap frenzy. I think having the first pics taken in a controlled environment reduces some, but certainly not all, future risk. I'm not a celeb, a pap, or a mag, though, so my head could be totally up my ass; this is just what I think.
Meh. I'm sure they'll be pink and wrinkled like every other baby that age...
Submitted by Cleopatra2U on August 2, 2008 - 2:43pm.
I can't say I blame celebs for going this route. The babes get to be photographed in a controlled environment, much safer than by paps chasing strollers in the streets.
______________________________
But that's a fallacious argument. When has a celeb doing a spread in a magazine EVER stopped the paps from chasing said celeb down for more shots of their kid? Never! The paps STILL chase down little Shiloh, Suri Cruise and all the other spawn that get pimped out - they don't care about a People or Vanity Fair shoot. All the latter does is invite more press into your personal life, press that you claim to despise. These celebs are full of shit. I would have more respect for these people if they just came out and said, "I'm a famewhore so I'm pimping my kids out to get more press to feed into my narcissism." At least that's honest.
