Celebrity Baby Photos Prove More Valuable Than Mom Or Dad's

Are people more interested in celebrity's babies than in the celebrity's themselves? It seems that the Jolie-Pitt's 6 children, Gwen Stefani's 2 children, Nicole Richie's child, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's baby Violet and Nicole Kidman's new daughter are all the rage in magazine's and on popular Web site blogs. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes daughter Suri is very big business. Photographers go nuts when Cruise and Holmes parade their daughter around for pictures. Because celebrity's are big money pictures but celebrity baby photos are even bigger money. Tom Cruise has even been accused of using daughter Suri for some positive publicity on his part. It is all very controversial.

The War Of Celebrity Baby Photos, Wardrobes And Attitudes

The war is on for celebrity baby photos of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt versus Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. The babies of Jolie and Pitt's new twins, Knox and Vivianne, are undoubtedly some of the cutest babies on the planet. But their 2 year old Shiloh, also a cutie, is on the front cover of one of the national gossip magazines this month pitting her against Cruise and Holmes' baby Suri. The magazine is comparing the two children on their different lifestyles and attitudes, claiming Shiloh wears hand-me-downs and is very unspoiled while Suri has a wardrobe costing thousands and rules the house. Interesting and it may be true, who knows.

Prices For Celebrity Baby Photos Getting Outrageous

If this trend of selling your baby's photo keeps going on among celebrities, no one is going to have enough money to buy them. For the last several years magazines have been buying the rights to certain celebrity photos. Matthew McConaughey reportedly will receive $3 million for his new baby. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony supposedly got $6 million for their twins. But the biggest celebrity baby photo deal of them all is going to (of course)... Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's twin girl and boy for a whopping $11 million! Do people realize the economy is in the dumps and there are starving people in this world?! Yeah, supposedly the money is going to charity (at least in the Jolie/Pitt case) but some people including actress Meryl Streep, think selling out your baby is just wrong.

Celebrity Baby Photos are Everywhere

Celebrities are now having babies more than ever before. Some of the world's best-known stars are leading the trend of being happily pregnant and proud of it. Unlike regular women who can solely focus on a healthy pregnancy and birth out of the limelight, the celebrity moms-to-be have to deal with increased media attention and bidding wars over their celebrity baby photos.

Nicole Kidman, who recently announced she was having a baby, is just one of the Oscar winners expecting in 2008. Cate Blanchett is due to have her third child, and Halle Berry is also seven months pregnant. Jennifer Lopez is said to be expecting twins next month, and Jessica Alba just announced her unexpected pregnancy with boyfriend Cash Warren.
