Frightening! Frightening! Frightening! The paydays for celebrity moms selling tabloids exclusive rights to photos of their new children have gotten so astronomical — photos of Angelina Jolie’s rumored twins will earn the actress $10 million — insiders say having babies has become a go-to second line of income for famous women.
One magazine editor who asked to remain anonymous said, “It’s at the point now where some stars might decide to have more kids just to collect the money from their photos.”
Pregnant stars are now “treating this like a game,” said National Enquirer Executive Editor Barry Levine.
“It’s become big business now,” Levine said. “It’s outrageous, they’ve gotten very sophisticated. The rights are bought up now even before the celeb enters the hospital. They hire extra security so it’s impossible to obtain a photo illegally.”
Levine said stars now realize that having a child is “akin to getting a role in a movie.”
Are you holding off on having more children because you’re not sure you can afford it? Get famous, dummy! Then you’ll have loads of both children and money, which are one and the same at this point.

What a great idea! Give the vapid, self-centered egomaniacs an incentive for breeding more of the same. Also, I wonder how much these new one/s will increase Mr & Mrs We’re Environmentally Friendly’s already giant carbon footprint? Fucking hypocrites.
Don’t mind me- just getting my ire on.
my family isn’t rich enough for me to become famous for doing nothing so i guess i’ll just have to form some sort of talent. there’s always a catch.
This is awful!!! It isn’t better than selling your baby on ebay.
i can sell a baby on ebay?
wow, thats something private to enjoy and cherish, now you’ve just sold your baby out for a lot of money.
They’re not giving their babies away for money, they are giving pictures of their babies away for money.
And if the money goes to charity, their actions are laudable.
these celebrities aren’t using their kids as a payday, they are only doing their jobs, accepting payment for use of their image, which is condemnable in its own right but that is not the answer to the question being asked here. the ones who are treating this like a game are the ones paying them for these pictures, these companies vying for the right to brag - that i got these pictures first, the exact same pictures that you will put out in a day or so, but i got mine out first.- the true answer to this question is why do we care, why should we care. is having knowledge, intimate knowledge of a famous persons life ever going to help you, is it ever going to answer some deep long lost question drifting in your soul, is there ever going to be a moment that your lifes very survival is going to hang upon the fact of you knowing how many times a certain celebritiy has beaten up their assistants, or skirted the law in an otherwise blatent offense?
if it has or will then…shit, forget i ever said anything.
