Brad & Angelina’s Twins Photoshopped by People

People magazine paid $14 million for the rights to shoot and publish photos of Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, the twin babies of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. That’s twice the amount that a celebrity weekly has ever paid for infant snaps because, you know, there are two of them.

In that cover photo, it looks like Vivienne Marcheline is sporting a giant grin. She may even be laughing. Hold on. These babies are purported to be a mere 3 weeks old!

Parenting magazine says that babies don’t smile from exterior stimulation until two to four months — even if said exterior stimulation is the most beautiful pair of humans in the entire world. Conspiracy! Photoshop! Something!

There could be a perfectly logical explanation, of course. The babies could have been born earlier than reported to avoid paparazzi attention, as has been rumored. Or Angelina and Brad, predicting their future acting careers, are already lying about the infants’ ages. Or these babies could be hyperadvanced super geniuses — in which case, for photos of the genetically perfect future of humanity, the $14 million People paid was probably a bargain.

In all honesty, I think paying 14 million for the pictures of those babies is ludicrous. How could they possibly sell enough magazines to justify that high of an amount? Yeah, they photoshopped them.

True, you cannot make a baby smile this young, but they do smile. It may just be a reflex action or something, but they do smile. Both of my children smiled like that at around 1 month old. It wasn’t from any exterior stimulation, nothing we did made them smile. I don’t think the picture is photoshopped. I have seen other babies smile this yound also. Just a reflex probably.

I’m sure it has been photoshopped, to some degree, anyway. EVERYTHING in those mags is photoshopped.
