"Jolie-Pitt Baby Pictures Will Raise Funds for Charity"

03133_angelina_jolie_dateline.jpg


Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt announced today that images from an exclusive photo shoot of their newborn daughter will raise funds in support charitable causes. The photos will be licensed to media worldwide by Getty Images, which will derive no profits from the sale of the photos.

"While we celebrate the joy of the birth of our daughter, we recognize that two million babies born every year in the developing world die on the first day of their lives. These children can be saved, but only if governments around the world make it a priority," said Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in a statement.


With a starting price of $700,000 , the snaps of baby Shiloh have already broken the previous record paid for pictures in Australia three times over - before a single bid has even been placed.

A local outlet, tipped to be Who magazine, is expected to pay up to $1.5 million for the exclusive.

Being offered through Getty Images, the agency confirmed almost every Aussie celebrity magazine had put in an offer for the set of six photos, with "virtually everyone" registering a serious bid above the reserve.

"The images are beautiful - very intimate, casual and not Hollywood glitz," the agency said.

The money raised from the worldwide deals will go to children's charity UNICEF, with total sales expected to reach more than $6.65 million.

akee:

Brad Pitt is a dog. Cheating on his wife and the world think he's a great dad. Full of shit, that's all I can say. He's nothing, but a cheater. He's full of shit.

You're absolutely right, Ak... (Below threshold)
Terri:

You're absolutely right, Akee. It's nice that they're helping poverty stricken Africa, but to present them as heros is disgusting. He cheated on his wife, got her pregnant before they were divorced, and she has some crazy issues in her life, like cutting herself, and posing nude. And why is it that she is Bi-sexual and her brother is gay? Sounds like Jon Voight is out of the picture for a major reason. She doesn't want him in their childrens lives? Why, is that a MAJOR cover up? Makes you think. I think Angelina has a genuine care about orphans but is Brad riding on her coat tail? I think the baby will not be beautiful and she will look like Mick Jagger!!!!

Valerie:

Best of luck to Angelina and Brat, she is great, she's all about helping the children and families who live in poverty, who cares who she slept with in th past, a lot of women who don't sleep around don't do anything to better our world either, they need to stop hating on her so much and see what she is really about helping others when she doesn't have to. What are the other "nice" starts in Hollywood doing for the children...Nothing!

Gigi:

Akee, Terri, and Esra,

You guys need to stop and think things through and realize that your comments are nasty and unnecessary. At one point or another some marriages end and the fact that Brad divorced Jen instead of being an adulterer shows that he is not all bad. You cannot deny all the help that Angelina has provided in the past four years or so have not been instrumental in providing much needed attention to what is going on in Africa. There baby should not be blamed or hated for any of her parent's mistake (if any). Instead of being nasty, why don't the three of you do some charitable work, the world will be a lot better for it.

Jen doesn't deserve Brad coz he's an idiot like Angelina. Brangelina are a perfect match. I like the fact that she cares about orphans and poor and she got him involve. They're both in-love.. Blame cupid! They fall in love at the wrong time/place. Who knows what really happened.. we were not there.
They deserve to be happy too.
Congratulations Brangelina!!!

Tempests:

Good for you Gigi,
As for the rest of you... Welcome to the real world. Some people stop loving eachother and can't keep a marriage together. These are two people who do wonderful things with the gifts that were given them. It is nice to see that they have been given a gift in return.

Lee:

You know what the problem is here is all of you feel that others in this world should not be happy because your loved ones have left you for someone else. As for Jan sorry she don't look hurt to me at all she jumped in to the 1st bed that said yes to her. Pitt wanted kids she wanted it all to be about her and he is happy and you all should move on too.

LISA:

I THINK THE BABY IS JUST A CUTIE. THE FACT THAT HER PARENTS ARE FAMOUS ALL OVER THE WORLD IS NOT HER FAULT. AND YES IM SURE JEN WAS UPSET WITH THE DIVORCE BUT SHE IS REALLY MAKING UP FOR IT NOW ISNT SHE. HER LIFE SEEMS JUST FINE.
AS FOR ANGE AND BRAD. YOU GO GIRL HES HOT, AND BRAD SHES A BEAUTY.
EVERYONE SHOULD JUST STOP BEING JEALOUS AND WISH THEM LUCK. I DO!!!
