Because procuring white children the natural way prevents them from adopting foreign babies and subsequently saving the world just a little bit more, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have devised an ingenious way for their rumored zygotes to benefit others: they want to sell the confirmation.
Us magazine is reporting that the couple will grant the specifics of the pregnancy to the tabloid offering the most money. Then they will donate those ill-gotten proceeds to charity. Why "ill-gotten"? Well, we tend to get very weirded out by body commodification, especially when we're talking about tremendously wealthy people who can afford to not put prices on their and their family's heads. And while this is mostly a case of information about a body being valuable, it still seems slightly off.
Far be it from us, though. And we guess we can get behind anything that makes the competition between the tabloids look even stupider. Happy auctioning, you two!

Hate me all you want, these two can do no wrong in my book
It is a creepyass way to make money, but I bet those being helped by said money won't really care about any nebulous body commodification issues.
i like them. if they want to sell their story to give money to charity then so be it. so what if it's a little tacky, it's going to help out someone some where.
Also, can we shorten it to BodCommod?
Abso-fuckin-lutely.
If they didnt sell it magazines would just lie like they normally do…just like the other crap they make up on a daily basis and claim they have "the inside scoop".
I still say its cheesy. YUM, CHEESE!
Didn't Nicole Richie also sell pics. I wonder if she donated any profits?
Sidenote, I read something about them getting in vitro fert. Anyone else read that? I thought it sounded weird, but what do I know.
"body commodification"
I like it.
I love these two. I think it's better that they are the ones controlling the media exposure of thier family for a change. It seems better for the tabloids to spend millions of dollars for something we will all figure out in due time anyways. Plus the idea of them rounding up as much money as they can for a charity is fine by me; they already contribute and enormous ammount to charity as it is. They may as well make the slimeball tabloids do the same.
We're all pretty much certified Brangeloonies here, Cord. Why do you still insist on trying to convert us? We must serve our King and Queen.
God, would you look at those boobs on her?
Not I. I'm pretty much sick of these two and their "Save the babies, Save the planet" mantra. I'm wearing Dragon Skin so anything anyone throws at me after that comment will not hurt me.
Lovin the Mae!
I don't love them, but then again, I don't know them, and I am suspicious of those whose texture resembles wax.
But, by comparison to the rest of hollywood, even their bodcommod looks pretty admirable.
Amen, mae! I am so sick of the deification of Saint Angelina. And Brad, by extension. But I'm just a jealous hater, y'all.
Sooooo sick of these narcissistic whores. I have an idea~! Whichever tab "buys" their baby information, let ALL boycott that rag, and NOT buy it. Maybe Whorlina and Pitty-Boy will get the point then
i so don't give a crap. i sort of liked jen and brad and their reported collection of bongs and other smoking implements.
angelina doesn't seem like she'd be fun to get smoky with.
