The Truth About All That Baby Photo Money

Ten million for the first photos of the Miracle Twins. Six million for photos of Jennifer Lopez's twins. Three million Levi's first photos (even though they did have to throw in first Christmas photos, and first crack at any wedding photos). So in truth 1.5 million. Are magazine editors crazy, or are we crazy for believing that they are really paying that much. Wouldn't People and OK be going broke if they were really paying millions for baby covers on an almost constant basis. There is a baby boom in Hollywood after all. According to Radar Magazine

No one knows who's leaking the phony figures. But they're certainly convenient, says Brandy Navarre, vice president of paparazzi photo agency x17online.com, creating a "myth that the magazines have that kind of money to throw around."
Even the smaller, seven-figure sum that People has implied that it paid Lopez seems suspiciously out of whack given the depressed market, she says. When the week's hottest paparazzi pics fetch only low five-figure sums, "[Those numbers} don't quite pass the sniff test."

So you have to wonder how much photos of Angelina's wonder twins will really get. Maybe this is why we haven't seen pictures of Halle Berry's daughter. They haven't offered her enough to sell out little Nahla.
