Little Levi McConaughey is only 2 days old, but he's already quite the little moneymaker. Before he was even born, we heard about the bidding war over his photos and now rumor has it OK! Magazine will shell out $3 million for the exclusives, plus Levi's first Christmas photos. Even though you're more excited to see Sunday Rose, celebrity babies equal big paychecks. So tell us — are you surprised that Matthew and Camila will get $3 million?

    What a punk! Already pimped out his son. I guess he must need the money.

    I hate that they pimp their kids out this way. Doesnt make sense.

    Im kinda not surprised they named their baby something biblical. Rednecks often do.

    I always forget why there's that much interest in him.

    She's quite pretty, though.

    I think its a bad move unless they are doing it for charity.
    Its like prosituting ur kids if u are just doing it for the money. And I don't personally know what he has in his bank account but it doesn't seem like he would need the money that bad. If so, make some club apperances a la Hilton.

    I would rather the magazine give the money to AIDS or cancer research and say something like, cause this is actually important. I would TOTALLY buy a magazine from them if they did that instead of pay for a photo of a human with semi-celeb genes.

    Im not surprised at all. I thought $3 mill was the standard fee.

    Who in the heck wants to see that baby anyway? I still waiting to see Halle's lil girl.

    I'm more eager to see Sunday. And, I cannot wait to see the Jolie-Pitt twins. I'm just not at all interested in Matthew's offspring.

    Ok, why do all these other celebrity babies keep getting BIG $$$$ money offers and while I read somewhere on Bossip she was only offered around $650,000??? Maybe that's why Nahla has yet to be seen. I don't wanna make this a race issue, but it seems that these magazines are just not interested in offering the big bucks for a baby who's mother is black. This has been bothering me for some time now. I'm just saying... shrug

    I think it is wrong for celebs to pimp their kids this way. I can't believe Matthew is doing the same.

    LOL Blob!

    I think the monetary offer depends on the popularity of the celeb and which celeb can sell out the issue. I guess the only one I can admire that can make these mags max out their offer is Brangelina and she makes sure that money is donated to charity.

    I was wondering the same thing two Black Velveteen, I'd rather see Nahla who has an Oscar winning mother and a gorgeous model father than Matthew m. and his nobody girlfriend's spawn. And they tryna say that this ain't white america. oh so sad!

    Camila is a nobody without Matt (who isn't all that famous anyway). So why are they getting so much money? What's with all these "celebs" (aka, somewhat famous but more because of worthless headlines they create) selling baby photos? Who cares about Jamie Lynn Spears' trailer trash baby?

    RosaDilia - I agree with you in that at least Brangelina did it smartly and donated the money. If someone would give me big bucks to take photos of my normal-looking human baby just so I can make good use of it for charity, I'd do it too!

    Amethyst its Levi like Levi jeans. Actually my first thought after hearing this $3 million offer was that somewhere, Christina Aguilera is FUMING lmao. She only got $1 million right? I bet she's gonna explode at the thought that Matthew could get $2 mil more than her lol.

    I don't even think he will make a good example of a father for his kid with all his drinking and carousing.

    that seems to be pretty much the norm these days. i don't know why everyone's soo into how much celebs get paid for their baby's first pictures. it's not like we're not going to see the kid enough in the future months.

    I heard Usher didn't want to show his baby off. Thats why he didn't do a magazine. But there is a picture of him and the baby over at celebrity baby blog in a magazine that is coming out.

    Blame Saint Angelina for this. She's the one who started it and now it seems celebrities are having babies left right and centre just to wh*re them to the media... Horrible

    I hope Levi (which IMO is a cool name, way better than Miller Lyte, Matthew's nephew's name, not kidding) doesn't inherit Matt's t-rex arms. And hearing about the money these people are making for basically having sex and procreating while I'm putting nickels and dimes together to afford lunch makes me want to puke up said lunch.
