how PEOPLE snagged the rights to Jolie-Pitt twins’ photos
PEOPLE magazine was the one who got the rights to Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s photos, and now, they got Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt’s debut photos as well. But reportedly, the negotiations were tough. A source revealed, “OK! (Magazine) was in a much better position than ever before to be in the game … Price per twin, you’re looking at about $7 million each.” So how come PEOPLE got the exclusive and not OK! mag? Previous reports have speculated that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt turned down the much higher offer from OK! and accepted less money from People, but a source says: “That’s a lie. Negotiating ended and People won. There was no $20 million offer.” Of course, the mag who won the bidding will no longer refer to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as “Brangelina.” The source says, “It’s funny to think they actually took a cue from Jennifer Lopez, who was insisting on (not being called J.Lo). Stranger things have happened.”
