fetch $20 million.
The Hollywood couple - whose son Knox Leon and daughter Vivienne Marcheline
were born in a hospital in Nice, France, on Saturday (07/12/08) - are said
to be in negotiations with various celebrity magazines for the sale of the
exclusive first pictures of the babies.
Despite one magazine reportedly offering $ 11 million for the shots,
publicist Max Clifford thinks they could be worth even more, adding: "I
think the pictures could fetch $20million, which would make it the biggest
baby deal ever."
Angelina's father Jon Voight - who recently reconciled with the actress
after years of estrangement - has spoken of his joy following the birth of
his new grandchildren.
He said: "I am deeply happy. I'm over the moon - it's magnificent. In this
world, all we can hope for is that mommy and the kids are healthy. I'm very
excited. If I were called today, I'd be there."
Meanwhile, it has been revealed the babies' names were inspired by Angelina
and Brad's heritage.
Knox was named after Brad's grandfather Hal Knox Hillhouse, and also shares
the same last letter as the couple's adopted sons Maddox, six, and
four-year-old Pax.
Vivienne's middle name is in honor of Angelina's late mother Marcheline
Bertrand - who died last year.
Linda Rosenkrantz, co-author of 'The Baby Name Bible: The Ultimate Guide By
America's Baby-Naming Experts', explained: "Vivienne, the French form of
Vivian, reflects her place of birth - something her parents like to do - and
its meaning, 'life, alive' resonates in the uplifting way that her brother
Pax's name projects an image of peace."
Brad and Angelina also have a three-year-old adopted daughter Zahara and
two-year-old biological daughter Shiloh.
