Yes you read the title right. Exclusive pictures of the Brangelina fraternal twins is estimated to be worth $20 million. It beats older sister Shiloh’s $4.1 million value which was donated to Namibian hospitals and UNICEF. And it’s definitely way over the $6 million that the J. Lo twins got from People magazine.

Are they really worth it? Those in the publication industry believe they are. Shiloh’s cover pics for People magazine sold a whopping 2.2 million copies or 45% of average. More than the sales, it’s the invaluable prestige and publicity that the publisher gains. In this type of industry, branding and marketing is everything. As such, they do not hesitate to pay more than the annual salary of their entire staff for an exclusive first peek at an A-List celebrity baby. But it is noble that most celebrities do opt to donate proceeds to charity.

In Knox and Vivienne’s case, their picture is not worth a thousand words. Their pics are worth millions. Can’t wait to see them.

It’s official — Angelina and Brad just had their boy-girl twins. The baby boy will be named Knox Leon while the girl will be known as Vivienne Marcheline. Angelina gave birth Saturday night and is doing well according to Dr. Michel Sussman.

Knox weighed just over 5 pounds while Vivienne was at 5 pounds. Angelina gave birth through Caesarian section around 8 pm Saturday night while Brad was there during the operation at the seaside Lenval hospital in Nice, Southern France. Papparazzi were vigilantly watching hospitals in the French Riviera and missed Angelina’s earlier arrival at the hospital via helicopter.

Since the first photos of the babies are expected to fetch millions, Angelina and Brad had sold the first photos to a yet unnamed US publication with proceeds to be donated to charity. To prevent any unauthorized pictures, the hospital coated the windows of the room with a special material which will not make any type of camera to take any photos. Any picture in magazines and the internet which claims to show the couple in their room were either fake or manipulated.

It was reported that Angelina Jolie has checked in a hospital in Nice, France for a rest. Doctors claim that the rest has already been pre-agreed and that the twins and Angelina are fine and doing well.

Looks like she might be set to give birth soon despite other rumors coming out that she is due in August. Angelina’s last pregnancy resulted in a caesarian section with the birth of Shiloh, her biological daughter from Brad Pitt. Considering that she is having twins, maybe the couple is apprehensive about the birth and decided to have Angelina checked in early to avoid any complications.

Speculators say that she is having 2 girls. Then again, there are those who say it’s a boy and a girl. Apparently, this pregnancy has been the object of so much speculation in the last weeks as the world awaits the next chapter in the Brangelina saga.

Forbes’ annual Power List, which ranks celebrities on money and fame, named Oprah Winfrey, for the second year in a row, as the most powerful with $275 million (from her media empire). A far second to the list is golf phenomenon Tiger Woods ($115 million), followed by Angelina Jolie ($14 million) in third place. Though Jolie has the lowest net worth among the top ten personalities in the list, Forbes probably gave more weight to her popularity and clout, both due to her profession and charity works. Based on the Power List, Jolie is actually “more powerful” than her beau, actor Brad Pitt, who landed on the tenth spot with $20 million. Pitt’s ex Jennifer Aniston came in only at No. 17.

Meanwhile, another power couple landed on the top ten — the newly-weds Beyonce Knowles (#4) and Jay-Z (#7), with $80M and $82M, respectively. The rest of the top listers (measuring earnings and publicity power) are as follows:

Entertainment Tonight posted Friday morning that Angelina Jolie gave birth to twin girls and that babies and mother were healthy.  However, Pitt’s manager denied reports and other news organizations confirmed that ET’s hot news were untrue.  Though ET removed the report from its website, it insists that they are not retracting the report until they receive confirmation.

During its broadcast on Friday night, ET claimed that “a source who says she was inside the delivery room tells us yes, the babies were born and yes, mother and babies are doing fine.” The newsmagazine also quoted another Web site in giving the babies’ alleged names.The report was magnified when The Associated Press reported that “Entertainment Tonight” had said the twins had arrived.  The AP also felt that ET had a solid reputation in the world of celebrity news.The incident may have damaged the AP’s relationship with  ET as denials from other sources continued throughout the day.

Angelina did say that the babies are due in August.  OK! Magazine grew more comfortable over the weekend that the “Entertainment Tonight” story was wrong because of other clues. There were no reports of flowers being delivered to hospitals, or grandparents flying in, she said, and Pitt was seen attending a sporting event over the weekend.

It’s official — Brangelina are having twins.   According to the sexy actress,  the sonogram revealed that they will have daughters and are unlikely to be identical.  The couple are currently staying in France for the Cannes Film Festival where Jolie’s movies Kung Fu Panda and Clint Eastwood’s The Changeling are in the competition.  Jolie co-voices an animated character in Dreamwork’s Panda together with Dustin Hoffman and Jack Black.  They are currently staying in the private mansion of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and will likely stay there until she gives birth.

During an interview, when she was told that taking care of twins was a hefty task, she  looked excited, exclaiming that they haven’t even hired a baby nurse yet.  Brad joined in and chided that they will have it the other way around and have 2 adults instead with six kids.  The couple hasn’t picked any names yet.  But judging from the names of other kids — Maddox, Zahar, Pax, and Shiloh — it will be something to look forward to.  Even with the actress’ tummy almost about to pop, she remains gorgeous and captivating.

Other than their film assignments, the couple had been busy with various Third World causes.  They have been responsible for over $8 million in donations, which included an orphanage in Cambodia.  It appears that these various endeavors have made the couple stronger with both finding fulfillment in their life through the causes that has already benefited so many children in poor countries.  Despite most people’s skepticism towards their partnership and their donations, I am rooting for them.  Regardless of whatever drives them towards their objective, the help they have extended to so many people is undeniable and cannot be ignored.

I’m not much into the romance of celebrities. However, I think John Mayer is the hottest hunk to hit the limelight lately and I’d really like to see Jennifer go on with her new life after Brad Pitt. I don’t really get what she saw in Brad, especially with rumors going around that he smells.

Anyway, the two celebrities were found relaxing at a poolside in Miami after wrapping up shooting on Jennifer’s new comedy “Marley and Me.” After Brad Pitt and Vince Vaughn, maybe she gets lucky this time. Not only is her new beau hot, but imagine how cool it would be to have someone like him singing one of his loves songs for you.
