Baby's first act for charity


May 19, 2006

ACTRESS Angelina Jolie is on the verge of giving birth to her baby with Brad Pitt - and the first pic has been sold for $5 million.

The A-list couple have done the deal with an undisclosed American showbiz magazine and the cash will go to Jolie's favourite charity UNICEF.

The couple are staying in Namibia, Africa, and the area around their accommodation has been mobbed by journalists eager for the scoop.


Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper quoted a friend as saying: "They've signed a 2.6 million pounds deal with a publication and the money will go to children's charity UNICEF.

"Angelina's very private but they figured they might as well use the opportunity of one child being born to help a lot of others."

Meanwhile, Brad's family have rubbished reports they are angry at the Tomb Raider beauty.

It had been claimed the Pitts were upset and felt left out when Brad and Angelina left the US.

But the actor's brother, Doug, revealed the family can't wait for the new arrival.

He said: "We all want to help them get through the birth in any way we can. We just want them to enjoy it and to know we're all thinking of them."

I have to applaud them a little for donating the money to charity; god knows they don't need it.

A part of me just kind of rolls my eyes though. What magazine is seriously going to pony up $5M for a baby picture? It has to be People, I would guess.

Why sad for our country?

If some tabloid wants to splurge $5 Million on a new-born's first 4 x 6 photos, let them. Clearly they have the cash. Which is likely true because we live in a country that is (relatively speaking) rolling in green. This is a good thing.

If Jolie then wants to turn around and give all the money to a needier nation then God bless her. Just shows even the lovely loonies in LA LA land sometimes have their hearts and heads in the right place.
