Brangelina's 'People' Baby Photos

They're not even a month old, but Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's twins Knox and Vivienne are already earning their keep.

People magazine features the new arrivals on the cover of their latest issue, the result of a tabloid bidding war that fetched a reported $10 million to $15 million. (Worldwide publishing rights go to British publication Hello. The ever-altruistic parents are donating the money to charity, of course.)

In addition to the gargantuan paycheck, People will also have to abandon use of the phrase "Brangelina" to describe the celebrity couple, if earlier reports are to be believed.

Oh well, those clever magazine editors will surely come up with another nickname. In the meantime, you can call Knox and Vivienne "extremely valuable."

Quotables /
“Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s newborn twins sold to People magazine for a whopping $14 million, a person involved in the negotiations confirmed to The Associated Press. (Earlier this week, JustJared.com exclusively reported the mag’s winning bid was between $10 to $15 million.)

Since the insider was not authorized to release the figure, he asked not to be named.

People magazine will feature twin babies Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon in an issue to hit newsstands Monday.”
Just Jared
“As exclusively reported earlier this week, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will be introducing their twins, Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline, in next week’s People magazine.

Knox and Vivienne, the couple’s fifth and sixth children, were born in mid-July in France.

Britain’s Hello! magazine has confirmed it secured the worldwide rights to publish the first photos of the newborn twins.”
Just Jared
“Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's new babies Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline can be seen in the latest issue of People which hits newsstands today. The magazine paid $90 bajillion for the photo rights which is a lot of money for Angelina Jolie holding basically every single newborn infant you've seen before - times two. I was kind of hoping these babies would be different and do something awesome like ride Harley's or fight crime, but they just sit there. Whee.”

“These kids are cute and all, but enough already with all the kids. I bet Brad half hopes some of the adopted ones get kidnapped. Or maybe they can sell one. They've only had that Vietnamese one for like a year, how attached can they really be?”
