Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie...baby photos sell for $11 mil. Pimping, a turn off!

Gee, we made out like bandits, didn't we?


In the final days of Angelina Jolie's pregnancy, the media was in a feeding frenzy.

In fact, the hysteria was at a fever pitch.

Frankly - were I Ms. Jolie - it is doubtful that I could spread my legs for the arrival with the whole world gazing on!

Then, in the wake of the much-ballyhooed birth (Indian women squat in the field, bear the child, and go back to work for heaven's sake with little or no fuss) the press was a-buzz with speculation about the precious baby photos.

What? They'd be auctioned off to the highest "bidder"?

What a shocking notion.

Surely, both Brad and Angelina earn enough from their respective careers, that they don't have to pimp and turn their flesh and blood into baby whores!

Granted, today the press was awash with news that the staggering sums garnered for the publication rights would be donated to UNICEF.

Even still, the whole scenario was tawdry.

So, the young tots have been thrust into the media circus now - and likewise - are to be gobbled up by a ruthless self-serving lot in the arena of celebrity.

If you ask me, the Pitts should have "hired" a photographer to document the birth of the babies; then, distributed a couple of the candid shots to the mainstream press - lovingly.

Eda J. Le Shan once said,

"A new baby is like the beginning of all things - wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities."

The Pitts turned the joyous possibility into a money-making proposition that was ugly.
