Today at work we had a customer call in and ask if we had the newest issue of People magazine. The one with the very first picture of the wonder twins on the cover (that'd be Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt, for shame if you don't know that!).

I could get into the whole debate going on about if it's right to sell your baby's pictures or not (I don't really see anything wrong it it personally), but what I really want to know is: why does anyone care that much? Sure, curiosity is one thing, but are you seriously calling a store to see if they have the pictures? Heck, go online and look for free. Here, I did the hard work for you.

These magazine bidding wars are insane. People paid $14 million for the first pictures of the twins. And that's for the US only. It really boggles my mind how obsessive people get with the celebrity babies. Come on, they're babies! All newborn babies look the same anyways! Look at the picture, I bet you can't even tell which is the boy and which is the girl. Those might not even be their real babies...

On the celebrity offspring note, I will say that Shiloh is adorable. Not as cute as Suri though, even if she might not be real.
