i agree with sue from Seattle. Who really cares anyways what their kids look like they will look human just like anyone elses kids... the stars mean nothing to me i wish the paparazzi would just let them be and quit reporting on them because almost everyone of them are more dysfunctional than any normal everyday person.... i could care less....

    Sue from Seattle, I guess you didn't read the entire article. Pitt-Jolie are indeed selling the pictures but the money will go to a charity, as it did when their daughter was born a couple of years ago. I wish other celebrities were as generous.

      How do we KNOW that they give to charities? Because their PR people said they do? Their PR people also refer to them as "humanitarians" which they very much are not. They have traveled the world with one ulterior motive after another, trying to repair their public images they had badly damaged with shameless adultery and hedonism. They have not morphed into wonderful people, they are still the scum they have always been. Snap out of it, children.

      Who cares what they do with the money! Shame on them in the first place for using charity as an excuse to manipulate everyone. These people reap what they sow. They get all in a bunch because people snap photos, but they create the drama in the first place. Sneaking around like rats in the night and denying the pregnancy as Angie's belly grows to the size of the Good Year Blimp. Sure, people want photos. These people think the whole world revolves around them and manipulate every situation to be front and center. Then they whine and throw a hissy when it backfires. GROW UP. GEEZE.

          Ugh, what is with these celeb lowlifes nowadays? They pop out a kid and can't wait to start charging photographers for taking it's picture. Give us a break, it's just another kid, it's not the second coming. Personally i don't see why people obsess with these two way overrated celebs. Pitt and Jolie are far from 'very talented' and are not the most interesting people (from what I've gained watching their interviews). Jolie is starting to lose her looks anyway and Pitt is like her little shadow now. Sad really. I know some people (especially the mommies who love Jolie), will stick up for them and praise them for their baby-adobting publicity stunts. But i just can't agree that it's all done in kindness. Let's face it, they get a lot of attention bringing these foreign babies back from whatever rotten country they came from. Anyway, Stop charging people for pics of your stupid brats. They usually turn out like the celeb parents...self-centered and overrated.

            I did read the article and I think that is positively sick that they are going to sell the babies pictures for 11 million. Good for them for giving it to charity, they already have way more money than they know what to do with anyway! These people make me sick too! I definitely agree that he's not the hottie he used to be, but neither is she. I wish they would just stay in France for good and fade away.

            If someone offered you money for pictures of your new born, I bet you would keep the money unlike this couple who donates it to charity...hipocrites.

                You talk about hypocrite's this Actress & Actor forget they make their money from the public, so when you do that then you are considered Public Domain when you are in the public. If they want to be private then don't do any more movies for the public then you will not have photo's taken of you.

                Because you would then be a regular couple.

                What people should do when these Actors & Actresses have these type of discussions why don't we just boycott their films and then see how they would make a living without that public support. The PUBLIC MADE BRAD PITT & ANGELINA JOLINE FAMOUS, now lets make them unfamous. Let them go to wherever and have a good family life.

                Good ridens to ungratful Actors & Actress's.

                  Married man cheats on wife. Woman has affair with married man. They have children.They are "stars"
                  Who cares!!!!!!!!!!! They should be happy people still are interested in them. Me personally, I think what they did was wrong.(A sin in God's eyes) and should be totally ashamed. The children have such great role models. If you don't want to let people see a picture of your kids(without paying) then get out of the business and no one will care anymore about your kids(or you) If you don't, then quit "crying" about it. It's part of being a "star". Selling pictures of your kids is horrible,whether you give the money to charity or keep it for yourself.

                    It used to be that children born out of wedlock were called "bastards" and mother wascalled a "slut". Samething applies today, but money can make them look good and they certainly are visible. Every movement is recorded. Why don't they just get married and give the kids a decent family life.

                      A Peeping Tom can be arrested. Should an invasion of privacy be limited to those who have their noses physically attached to your window? What does proximity have to do with it? They were unknowingly be photographed at their home and it's wrong. I admire Brad for watching out for his family. What should come first in this discussion, their celebrity or their rights?
                      I think some of these comments are missing the mark....some strange tangents.

                        Unfortunately most of their charity goes abroad, even though they make their money from the good ol' USA. Angelina's mother was actually Native American, but you never hear of Angie giving any money to Native American causes or adopting a Native American child! If they are going to make their money here, they should have and raise their children in the United States and support the numerous charities and causes. That's not to say they shouldn't support other causes around the globe, but the majority should be spent at home.

                        I think it's ridiculous that Brad and Angie threaten to sue someone for taking their pictures -- they seem to court the media when it's to their advantage! Can't have it both ways. Wish they would just fade into obscurity.

                        Just because Brad and Angie have chosen acting as their profession doesn't give everyone the right to invade their privacy. Actors are entitled to the same privacy as anyone else in any other profession. How would you like it if photographers were following you around all the time trying to take your picture and disrupting your life? Believe it or not, there are a few places in this world where people don't care if you're famous. That's why Shania Twain chose Switzerland to make her home. She can go out and be Eileen Lange (assuming she doesn't return to Twain since her break up) and nobody cares that she's famous. I don't blame them one bit for controlling who prints photos of their children and when. Maybe more celebs should be like Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. They announced when they were leaving the hospital and allowed photos to be taken at that point. There was no clamoring, everyone had a chance, and it didn't cost millions of dollars to print. Sometimes I shudder to think what my life would be like if I had pursued a theatrical career instead of getting married and staying in the Midwest. Celebrities personal lives are just that - personal.

                            Everyone deserves their privacy. Just because someone decides to become a star doesn't mean they are opening up their private lives, their backyards or their homes to their career. Someone said "You can't have it both ways"....well.....why not. They have chosen a public occupation (and that is all it is...a bunch of professional pretenders that get paid lots of $$).

                            I prefer the Nicole Kidman / Keith Urban approach. They will publish one picture and ask those choosing to use it to donate what they would have paid to her charity children's hospital.

                            Brad is doing what he has to do to protect his family...and also his contract with the company this is going to pay them $11 Million. If that photo got out, they no longer have the exclusive.

                            Brad & Angelinas past sins aren't for us to judge, there will always be a consequence for an action ( good or bad).

THEN CRY FOUL WHEN SOMEONE SNAPS PHOTOS OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I GUESS IF THEY SEND THEM A CHECK TO DONATE TO CHARITY THINGS WILL FALL INTO PLACE.

                                  These two sell their privacy ALL THE TIME. They are lousy actors that seek attention all the time.

                                  Angelina talks about her sex life, her children, Pax didn't even know her and couldn't understand a word in English and she invited People magazine staff to take his picture and gave an interview about him.

                                  It's all about the money. These people LOVE the media covering their PRIVATE life, but now when there are millions at stake- they are all of the sudden protective of their privacy.

                                  Who knows if the money actually goes to charity?
                                  It's just another PR stunt. Just like the said thy are moving to New Orleans and instead moved to France and spend millions there.

                                  They have enough money to give to charity, had they wanted to- they do not need to pimp their children like that.

                                  The only reason they sell their children like that, is because it's another PR stunt that helps their career.

                                    I think some one needs to rein in the photog's. They are getting dangerous. They also go to far. Getting a picture and killing someone is entirely two different things. Peggy

                                      Brad and Angelina really need to just go away. I don't care it they are giving the money to charity...it is still whoring your children out for pictures and they justify it by saying it's being donated to charity. Like they don't have quite enough money of their own. I would respect them more if they gave away a percentage of their movie salaries....which are ridiculously high anyway......to charity instead of selling their innocent babies pictures. These two make a total mockery of the word family. They drag these poor kids all over the globe in search of privacy but they are then willing to sell pictures. The money may be going to charity....but hey there is no better publicity than the free kind which they are getting tons of. Brad married Jennifer Aniston and Angelina married Billy Bob....but they refuse to get married to each other until people of all relationships (specifically gay couples) are allowed to marry. Can we say hypocrite? I guess it's just a new soap box that they have climbed upon. In this country everyone knows that celebrities are and always have been followed by photographers....if you want your privacy and no one to bother you then become Brad the truck driver and Angelina the teacher and live a normal life. I personally would not pay one thin dime for these pictures. I will donate to my favorite LOCAL charity instead.
