An unnamed charity could be £5m better off today after the birth of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's twins.
The bidding war has already begun for the first photos of Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline who were born on Saturday night at a French hospital.
French papers have reported that an American magazine has already offered $10m (£5m) for the exclusive images of the new babies - with all the money going to a worthy cause.

her face looks 30 but her hands look 70.

KInda makes her a p***. I have nothing good to say about this whole thing.
How catty are you? She’s a beautiful woman. And at least they give it to charity. It’s one of my biggest pet peeves that these celebrities get paid for every life event? Want to throw a birthday party for yourself and invite 300 of your closest friends??? NO PROBLEM...Absolute Vodka will underwrite it. Need a million bucks? Go elope to Vegas, sell your pictures to PEOPLE Magazine and vavoom...you’re a million bucks richer. It’s truly sick.
Ya know..someone’s going to make the money. She didn’t create the system...so what she’s doing is the best possible scenario...she’s controlling it and giving it to a charity. Unlike all the other celebs who pocket it.
YES! Like Charlie Sheen’s “magical” how-many-are-we-up-to-now? wedding a couple of People issues back. What a joke.
Good for Angie...she puts her money where her heart is. Very altruistic.
Worthy is a word that means a different thing to different people.
Spot on post Hildy.
Thanks for the pingaroo Perdogg .. guess the question I posed yesterday has been answered.
Lovely. Adults with illegitimate children are such wonderful role models.
Anyone selling their looks is "out there" to be criticized and is fair game.
She has man-hands and huge feet...but a sexy face.
She could have just ignored the system, and not charged anyone.
She has huge feet? I can’t even see her feet. :)
She has too much ink for my taste.
I suppose that so long as you don't have a hand or foot fetish you should be alright with that?
She has lost too much weight over the past 8 years or so. She looked very good in “Gia”.
Do a free magazine shoot of the babies and let People make an absolute fortune off of the sales? Then the only entity that benefits is People.
Or don’t do any photo shoots and be harassed relentlessly by the papparrazi as they scramble to be the first one to get a pic that will pocket them millions of dollars? Then the only one that benefits is the photographer.
At least her way, there will be people less fortunate than herself who will benefit from the photographs.
Last month they donated $1M to children affected by the Iraq war - $500,000 for school supplies in Iraq and $500,000 to the YMCA Armed Services Operation Hero program.
I’m thinking they can help a lot of people with this $10M.
I love Angelina! She is my favorite hollywood actress!
