Kim Kardashian selling baby photos? Say what you want about reality star Kim Kardashian, but it’s pretty clear she will try to make a buck out of anything. In fact, Kim managed to turn her “home video” with Ray J. into a reality show franchise and although she still hasn’t managed to shut up her critics just yet, it’s clear she won’t be fading away from the spotlight any time soon. In fact, her very high-profile romance with rapper Kanye West has kept her in the headlines more than her messy divorce from Kris Humphries ever could, and now that the couple’s first child is finally here and nabbing headlines for every little thing and the world hasn’t even seen her yet, it’s no surprise that magazines are fighting each other tooth and nail to secure the first photos. Interestingly enough, industry insiders have already claimed Kim and Kanye won’t make as much money as A-List couples such as Angeline Jolie and Brad Pitt who were able to sell their kids’ photos for a rumored $15 million, but Kim’s camp claims she could get about $3 million for a first glimpse at little North West. Rumor Fix reports:
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s millions of fans are dying to get a first look at North West and the magazines know that.
A highly placed source connected with the photo agencies tells RumorFix exclusively that Kim has already been offered $3 million for the prize photo.
Another source agrees saying, “The could get seven figures for a sit down portrait session. I can see her camp negotiating something like that and getting away with it!”
Now we’re not sure if the figure is accurate or an overestimate put out by Kris Jenner to make Kim look great in the media, especially since a little birdie told Wendy Williams recently that the major magazines were only planning to offer Kim’s camp about $300,000 for the photos considering the publishing business is struggling to stay afloat. Either way, Kim’s camp claimed several months ago they would not be selling photos.
Of course Kim is going to sell the photos. That’s what this whole pregnancy was about.
I’d be shocked if Kim doesn’t sell the photos. LOL.
These Jayonce wannabes will post the photos to Kim’s blog just like the Carters did. Yall know they are following the Carter’s path to a T. Stalkers.
Oh please if these magazines played it smart they would get photos for little or nothing because those Kardashians value fame over money. This is evident from the baby’s name “North” between Kim’s fame whoring and Kanye trying so hard to be different they will do anything for attention. Pitiful
Kim and her family are disgusting. Even Brad and Angie sold the photos and gave the money away to charity. Kim had this baby to stay relevant and make money. Smh.
I call BS. Ain’t no magazine paying millions for photos of this baby. I think Wendy’s tea was the truth and as always the Kardashian clan puts out a rebuttal to “remind” people of how famous Kim is. Just like that fake story about Kanye proposing. I don’t believe they are engaged at all. This is all damage control for those several months of bad press.
Damage control.
$3 million? Doubt it. Ain’t no magazine paying that much for baby pictures anymore.
North West…ugh. Just terrible.
Kim thinks she popped a money maker out of her vag…again lol.
I don’t understand why these two are getting so much press. I would love to get a break from the Kardashians but Kanye West has made that nearly impossible. I wish we could go back to the days of people needing talent to get this much attention.
Co-sign!!!!! I so agree been saying that it is such a shame how a sex tape will get you further than actual talent some world we live in. SMH
Girl you and the rest of the world, oh except her sick fans. I still don’t understand how she has any tho…I mean, what does she DO exactly?
Kris Jenner is at it again. Does she get up every morning and drink her coffee while she sends out fake stories?
Aww I like Kim. I just don’t think she knew what she was getting herself into when she got with Kanye. This is the most negative press she’s ever gotten. I know she can’t stand it. Oh well. I like the name North West. 🙂
