If you’ve lost any sleep wondering if People‘s pricey gamble paid off, you can now rest comfortably. The answer appears to be yes.
According to Women’s Wear Daily, the issue devoted to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s new twins was one of the magazine’s all-time best sellers. Here’s a quick look at the numbers:
- Approximately 2.6 million people paid for the opportunity to see Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon. People normally averages 1.5 million in weekly sales. (That number does not include the normal subscribers.)
- Although the issue has been on the shelves longer than normal, readers have had to pay $.50 more than normal to peruse the pictures.
- The website received 6 million unique visitors in a 24-hour period; it usually gets about 8.8 million a month.
- The spread was the 4th most-purchased in the magazine’s history. Only 9/11 and the deaths of Princess Diana and John F. Kennedy, Jr. sold more.
I guess some lucky charity will really benefit once Child #7 comes around…

Here they finally are. The two babies that have quickly made us forget that Jennifer Lopez also had twins.
In the upcoming issues of People and Hello!, Brangelina watchers will be getting more than their money’s worth. The two magazines will be devoting 19 and 17 pages, respectively, to Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon.
Although the newborns are only three weeks old, the two are already displaying their personalities. According to Brad, the babies are following along gender lines. “Viv is proving to resemble Ange in spirit, attitude and physicality… And Knox, he’s a bit of me.”

Rumors
After leaving Brangelina fans on the edge of their seats (myself included) for weeks without seeing their twins, the couple have decided that it is finally time to introduce them to the world.
Much to no one’s surprise, People magazine won the bidding rights to the twins’ photo shoot in the U.S. and Canada, and Hello! magazine won the international rights. Although there has been no official release as to the amount, sources have claimed the figure is around $14 million.
Compared to previous biddings on babies like their older sister Shiloh ($4 million) and Jennifer Lopez’s twins ($6 million), the Jolie-Pitt twins have definitely set a new record for costing a magazine so much.

What could possibly be worse than finding out that your boyfriend cheated on you? Finding out that he’s considered People‘s Hottest Bachelor! (Sorry, Karina.)
While I’m certain the magazine selected Mario Lopez long before tales of cheating ways were revealed (that’s if you don’t count Ali Landry’s experience), his inclusion just goes to show that any guy with a dimple can come off as charming.

If there was ever any doubt Mariah Carey’s rumored marriage, People now has the photographic proof.
In this week’s upcoming issue, the singer and her new hubby, Nick Cannon, talk about their Bahamian wedding and share exclusive photos from the private ceremony. Apparently we’ll also be seeing shots of their new tattoos. (I hate to be so negative—but aren’t love tats usually something you end up regretting?)
Oprah Winfrey reveals what the bride’s tattoo says, after the jump.

Miley Cyrus Apologizes for Racy Internet Photos

This has definitely been a whopper of a week for singer Miley Cyrus. Not only is she on the cover of People (Miley is one of the World’s Richest Kids, if you didn’t know), she’s admitted to being embarrassed by her new Vanity Fair photo spread and just now apologized for the internet pics viewed by every teen in America.
Via an exclusive statement issued to the magazine, the 15-year-old tries to chalk up her self-portraits to youthful errors in judgment:
“The pictures of me on the Internet were silly, inappropriate shots. I appreciate all the support of my fans, and hope they understand that along the way I am going to make mistakes and I am not perfect. I never intended for any of this to happen and I am truly sorry if I have disappointed anyone. Most of all, I have let myself down. I will learn from my mistakes and trust my support team. My family and my faith will guide me through my life’s journey.”
Of course, you didn’t intend for this to happen. No one ever does.
