J.Lo Twin Pics Already Worth Millions

LOS ANGELES (Feb. 20) - What's a celebrity baby worth? Possibly up to $6 million, if there are two of them and they belong to singer and actress Jennifer Lopez.

In June, Lopez vacationed with husband Marc Anthony and 4-month-old twins Max and Emme in Spain.

That's about the price that People magazine is reported to be offering for exclusive U.S. rights to the first photos of the soon-to-be-born twins of Lopez and husband Marc Anthony, according to a report in Advertising Age citing people familiar with negotiations.

The sultry performer is due to give birth to her first babies sometime in the next few weeks.

People magazine, which this week featured exclusive pictures of singer Christina Aguilera and her 5 week-old baby Max, declined to confirm or deny the reports, saying it never discussed such negotiations.

"Celebrities have always trusted People to handle their most personal moments with sensitivity and accuracy. For more than 33 years we've brought our readers celebrity baby photos ... and will continue to deliver for our readers. Beyond that, we do not discuss specifics of any negotiations," People said in a statement.

If correct, the $4 million to $6 million J.Lo deal would top a reported $4 million paid by People in June 2006 for North American rights to pictures of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's baby daughter Shiloh.

Industry sources said the Shiloh figure, and those cited for pictures of other recent celebrity babies, were wildly inaccurate.

Pitt and Jolie donated their fee from People to charities helping African children. Representatives of Lopez did not return calls for comment and there was no word on what she and Anthony intended to do with any money from a potential picture deal involving the twins.

I think it's good for them to sell photos to the magazine's that want to exploit their lives in magazines. As parents it gives them an agreement and some control over their articles and photos and sets a precedent not to hassle and steal photos. If they want access to Marc and JLo's lives, then they can request and negotiate the conditions. It's terribly rude that the paparazzi intrude into starts "free" time.

i can't believe how rude you people are. if these magazines want to pay the money then what is the big deal! I'm sure If you were in thier shoes you would sell your childs photo too. Don't condem unless you've been there!!!!!

emia52 03:18:33 PM Feb 25 2008

Congrats. to J Lo and Marc! Blessed you and your babies
which i am sure are beautiful. But I do agreed that $6 million
for baby pics are too extreme, especially when there are so
many children in the world and people for that matter, who are
dying because of diseases and nothing to eat, that is totally
outrageous, think about it and please use some of your money
to help poor, sick people around the world.

i totally agree w. sasha123k, someone like angelina jolie who has done TONS of charity work has a right to sell her stupid baby pics for $6 million dollars, because most likely some of it will go to good cause. J LO and that ugly ass she calls a husband marc anthony dont give a crap about other people. they probably have never donated a cent in there lives. i personally like J LO, but i really think she has absolutely no right to sell her baby pics (her babies will probably turn out down right UGLY like her husband) for that $ mainly becuz she will probably just keep it all for herself.
other then all of that, congrats!

aside from all the insults i just said, congrats
