HOT OFF THE PRESS: Angelina’s Twins First Photo Shoot Keeps it All in the Family

Surprise! Surprise! They’re Crazy GORGEOUS!

And According to Sales Figures: “Bigger than 9/11″

People Magazine Pays Millions for the Pleasure of Releasing the Hotly Anticipated Photographs.

World, meet Hollywood’s New “It” Couple - not Brad and Angelina - but their twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon! Just 3 weeks old, the twins have taken the world by storm. The obsessive mainstream media coverage of the Jolie-Pitt birth has reached epic heights.

With an anticipation not seen since Princess Diana’s wedding, the much heralded, much anticipated duo made their cover debut in a sneak peek on People magazine’s website earlier today. People outbid Hello! magazine to the tune of $14 million for the infants’ first photo shoot. Newborn photos of older sis Shiloh set a single-day traffic record for their website, attracting 26.5 million page views.

The multi-million dollar payout is a record in the world of celebrity baby photos. Genetically blessed parents Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are donating all the money to charity. JLo’s People pics of her twins were a relative bargain at $6 million. When People published six photos of Pitt, Jolie and baby Shiloh in June 2006, the issue sold 2.2 million copies, its biggest seller since its 4 million-selling 9/11 special, according to Media Week.

The prodigious A-list couple - who welcomed the twins on July 12 - have four other children: 6 years old Maddox, 4 years old Pax, 3 years old Zahara, and 2 years old Shiloh, but are determined to continue expanding their brood. A source said: “Angelina wants one more baby naturally - even if they end up having twins again. Twins would be wonderful. A dozen kids would be their dream.”

At this rate, the tabs could go bankrupt keeping up with the birth of more mini Jolie-Pitts. Meanwhile, charities the world over have set-up shrines and started praying to the fertility gods.

We imagine the floods of traffic to www.people.com will spike so staggeringly that the throngs of hits just might “break” the internet. The celebrity couple signed the deal, which gives the magazines the right to publish the first photographs of Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, promising to send the money to charity.

We love the insert cover photo of Shiloh holding her new baby sister like a doll. How freakin’ cute is that. Not only crazy cute but sweet overload! Shoeminx may need a shot of insulin before taking on the whole 19 page spread come Monday.

“It is chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time,” Jolie tells PEOPLE of daily life at the Château Miraval in Provence, France, where the couple’s four older children – Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2 – have been enjoying a summer of outdoor play (hide-and-seek is a favorite) on the château’s sprawling grounds.

Adds Pitt: “[It's] still a cuckoo’s nest.”

Fortunately, they already have some household helpers. “[Shiloh] and Z pick out [the twins'] clothes and help change and hold them,” says Jolie. “It’s sweet – they are little mommies.”

For the complete story, including 19 pages of intimate family photos and the full interview with Brad and Angelina, pick up this week’s issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Monday

Jolie-Pitt Twins: Count Down to Photos Going Live on People.com

First Photos Go Live on Sunday, August 3rd 2008

There’s only, like, 36 hours to go before the world gets its first look at Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline. People Magazine won the bid to unveil the first photo of the twin prophets.

The picture will make its debut on their website at 7pm EST. www.people.com Set your alarm clocks now!

People won the exclusive rights for the first pictures of Brangelina’s chosen twins. It’s rumored that they paid around $10 to $15 million, a record. Of course, the money is going to other, more impoverished kids who don’t have Brad Pitt as a baby daddy. Will the babies be floating levitating on lotus flowers for that kind of coin? Stay tuned to Shoeminx.
