The most awaited photos are finally here! Photos of Hollywood superstars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s twins, Vivienne Marcheline and Knox, have been finally revealed and I can almost hear the loud “ka-chings!!!” in the office building of People. Why? Because as we all know, People got the exclusive North American rights to publish these photos of the million-dollar worth babies.
The twins actually had their debut of sorts on People.com at 7 pm EST, 4 pm Pacific time. The special People magazine issue, meanwhile, will hit the newsstands (and get sold out thereafter, I presume) at 6 am Monday. Yup, today! So all you lucky North Americans should get a copy and tell us all about what you think of the photos and articles!
The money that Brad and Angelina got by selling the rights, by the way, will reportedly go to their foundation, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. So basically the money will go to charity.
I think it’s ok, they just earn money, and especially if the money goes to charity. They are doing a great job!
I think it’s ok, too. Read this really funny (and true) article about why celebs ’selling’ baby pics isn’t really that big of a deal! :)

looks like shiloh’s getting the hang of being an ‘ate’ (that’s tagalog for older sister) - she’s so cute!!!!!!!!!!
In Brad and Angelina’s case, I think it’s a great idea! Instead of it being in their pockets, it goes to charity.
So Brangelina finally cashed in on their gossip empire… and their going to give the proceeds away too? smart move
i think that when you have a baby, its special. its a gift between you and your partner. I dont think that you should share it with anybody else because its the one time in your life when you get to be selfish. its your new baby and you need to keep that as a treasure to yourself. if your showing pictures of your baby to the world, and getting paid for it, i dont think thats very personal and its like your using that as an excuse for money. whether or not its for charity, its still money their saving. to me, its not so precious if you have people gawping at your newly precious child. i wouldnt do it.
Thanks for all the replies guys =)
Kayleigh, I think as public people, Brad and Angie did the right thing. They had their special moment, and then they just pulled some money from People (which would have been wasted on something anyway) and put them into good use.
People will be gawping at their newly born in a couple of weeks anyway, when the paparazzi get all over them. At least now they were paid.
And just think how endangered the baby could be if they did not release any official pics with all the paparazzi in the world trying to take the first picture?
I totally understand the couple. They did what they had to do, protected their baby and got additonal money for the good cause.
BTW, maybe these pictures will change your mind:
