Baby Pic Bonanza
August 4th 2008 05:54
I know a picture is worth a thousand words, but $20M???
$20 MILLION. Will People really sell an extra $20M worth of magazines?? I find it hard to believe.
OK Magazine was one of the biggest spenders on celebrity baby pictures this year. In the last month they've had Jamie Lynn Spears and her daughter on the cover. Jessica Alba and her daughter, Honour and this week it's Matthew McConaughy and his son Levi. But did they get value for money? Well lets see:
Jamie Lynn Spears - paid $1M, sold 750,000 copies
Jessica Alba - paid $1.2M, sold 600,000 copies
Matthew McConaughy - paid $2-$3M, sold - on stands now, but estimated to sell 500,000 copies
Value for money? eh, probably not.
And why the hell do we care what celebrity babies look like? All newborns look exactly the same........kind small and weirdly alien like!!!!
By the way, I just realised that I never posted my post that said I was going to be away for 2 weeks..........so sorry about that. But I'm back once again.

Nope, it's ridiculous. Why buy a magazine to slobber over some babies simply because they're famous? Let's face it, at that age, they all pretty much look alike.

I am with Tracy on this. I do not know why folks give a crap about these babies. Maybe they ought to have to pay us to look at our kids' pictures.
