Prepare to Be Amazed By the Pitts

How much money would you pay to see a picture of Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt? Chances you would personally pay about $2.50, the average price of an entertainment magazine. Entertainment magazines on the other hand, are willing to pay quite a bit more, in fact, recent reports claim that the correct figure stands at about 2 million times more than you are going to pay! So, who gets the money when entertainment mags dish out the potential $5 million dollar price?

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt know that paparazzi are just waiting for the pair, and their 3 children to come out of hiding in Namibia. They understand that all the press wants is a picture of their new baby to putt in every entertainment column of every newspaper and magazine across the globe. But Angie and Brad want nothing to do with all the sneaking around and hiding of their child. Their solution: To sell a picture of Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, born on May 27th, to the paparazzi themselves.

But the vast profits of this photo will never end up in either of the entertainment stars bank accounts, they plan on donating every single cent to a charity. "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," said the couple in joint statement. Their hopes are that money donated by entertainment magazines to a charity of their choice will help save at least some of these babies lives. At least someone in Hollywood isn`t looking to bank every dollar that comes their way!
