I just read that People magazine is paying Jessica Simpson $850,000 for the first photos of her daughter. If you were a celebrity would you sell photos of your child?

For 850k? YES. You know they'll get leaked eventually anyway, might as well get some $$ for them. After that, you can leave the house more freely!

HECK YEAH. Any way I could make money, I would. Hello, they pimp themselves out in commercials and infomercials, why not sell photos of your kid? I just hope they put that money into the kid's bank account and not their own. You know, in case she goes bankrupt someday...

@pastemoo: That's kind of my thinking too... that they'll get leaked anyway. In general I'm not a huge fan of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie but I thought it was pretty cool that they donated all the money they made on Shiloh's pics to charities that support moms and babies.

@MamaMoose: Oh. That's pretty cool! I would do that if I already had money.

Haha yes I would, it helps prevent the crazy photogs from stalking my house to get the first picture!

I agree with that the public will see the kiddo sooner or later so might as well get paid for doing so!

Heck yeah! I think it is better that way so that there isn't this crazy frenzy like @jessiejo17 said. And I would also donate to charity, like Mrs. Bee.

If I was an A list celeb, no. If I needed the money, probably! I mean, Jessica's worth SO much. She doesn't need the money.

I would. Probably donate the money though (if I was a celeb)

I wouldn't. If I was a millionaire celebrity I wouldn't need the money, and I'd feel like I was exploiting my kid.

Yes for sure. Donating the money is a great idea. As a celebrity, you'll be followed by paparazzi anyway who will be dying to get pics of the baby. Might as well get a head start and make a worthwhile contribution to charity!
