New Shiloh Pix To Help Cambodia, Uh, Somehow

The contested 'exclusivity' of the new shots of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's "natural-born" offspring (way to give Z and Mad even more issues, Daily News!) doesn't really interest us that much, but in case it interests you, here you have it: Hello! (a UK publication, natch) claimed that it had a World Exclusive, when in fact it only had US rights. People actually has US rights, which is why their ed in chief, Larry Hackett, was holding up the photos on the Today show yesterday. Neither publication really wanted the shots leaked all over the internet, but whatcha gonna do.
What does interest us is how the shots were sold to the publications by Trevor Nelson of the Endeavor Group. According to WWD, Nelson
sent out an e-mail to interested publications, asking that those "who purchase these photos will use them in a way that also draws attention to the needs of the Cambodian people." And the three-page pitch from Neilson reads like an application for the Nobel Peace Prize, detailing Jolie's and Pitt's visits to Cambodia from the year 2000. "Their vision and generosity will not only positively affect the lives of Cambodians today, it will also benefit generations to come," Jeffrey A. Sachs, director of The Earth Institute at Columbia University, is quoted as saying in the pitch.
The only thing that the Daily News story about the pix 'calls attention' to is the fact that Brad and Angie have given Shiloh "show-stopping looks you'd expect from the finest genes in Hollywood," but we suppose that's close enough. More »

Shiloh Learns to Use Her First Cash Register

According to Keith Kelly's drinking buddies at Time Inc., People mag's Princess Shiloh issue sold about 2.3 million newsstand copies, compared to their usual run of 1.5 million. Combined with the issue's upped cover price of $3.99 (50 cents higher than usual), Shiloh may have netted People an extra $2.25 million profit. Unfortunately, that's not quite the $4 million the mag reportedly coughed up for the pictures, but the sheer, arrogant glory of having exclusive rights was surely worth the extra $1.75 million.

Anderson Cooper Gets 1/5 of Brangelina Brood

angelinaanderson.jpgLet's start this lovely morning with something of great, pressing import: a glitter-sprinkled press release brings news that our dear Anderson Cooper, Chelsea's beloved prince, will be interviewing Angelina Jolie in her first U.S. television interview since the birth of the world's sexiest baby. Naturally, Coop had to submit to doing it under the guise of a serious look at African refugees and airing it on World Refugee Day (June 20), but you know he won't let her leave without talking some Shiloh.

Gawker's Week in Review: Really, It Should Be Shiloh's Week in Review

Shiloh Makes Money for Ronn [sic] Torossian

So much for ignoring someone until they go away: it's been some time since we dignified the existence of 5W Public Relations' cracky despot Ronn [sic] Torossian, and yet he refuses to fade into the ether. Case in point: he's managed to find a way to flack off of the most important event of the century, the birth of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt. Yes, Ronn knows that newborn babies are an incredible PR opportunity(!), and the parents shouldn't be the only ones who get exploit little cutesy-wutesy. That shirt Shiloh is wearing in her lucrative pictures? Why, it's designed by Kingsley and available at Belly Maternity — and it was delivered to Africa, courtesy of Ronn's carrier pigeons. SCORE!

The Battle of Shiloh: We Fought the Good Fight

As these things inevitably go, it would seem that the web has gotten its intangible hands on a solid handful of copyrighted images from Brangelina and Shiloh's session at the Sears Portrait Studio. And while we will gladly look at the pictures, coo like idiots, and then link to places where they can be found, we just can't post them. We can and will stand on our fair-use high horse all we want about a thumbnail pic of the Hello! cover (which, per our original offer to Time Inc. counsel Nick Jollypants, we have now changed to the People cover), but we really can't use the same justification for the fuzzy, cloying photos floating around from Hello!. Sorry — but this time, turns out that posting the pics actually is illegal. Or so we're told. Our lawyer could just be drunk and not wanting to deal. Whatever. We're still working through the first round of legal woes from 2 days ago, and we can't even keep track of what we are and aren't allowed to do anymore. More »

The Battle of Shiloh: Keith Kelly's Fun With Numbers

peopleshiloh.jpgIn his column today, merry media man Keith Kelly reports that American OK! and Us Weekly just missed winning the rights to the baby pictures of Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, both bidding in the $4 million range but losing to People's $4.1 million (and to what length they'll go to get their money's worth). And since they were already tossing around the petty cash, People went ahead and bid $5 million for worldwide rights, but Getty laughed in their face. Kelly also reveals that Hello! paid around $3.5 million for British rights, then introduces us to his special brand of math: More »

The Battle of Shiloh

peopleshiloh.jpgYou post one little picture of Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt and, within seconds, the suits start calling. As it turns out, the Hello! cover photo of Shiloh and her sexy baby lips is very much authentic, so much so that Time Inc. lawyers were all up in our grill within an hour of this morning's posting. As we were informed by Time Inc. counsel Nick Jollymore (cute!), by posting the Hello! cover, Gawker was infringing on People's very exclusive, very expensive U.S. rights to the baby pictures. We think it's small enough to fall under fair use, and we'd gladly replace the Hello! cover with a People one featuring the baby, but no dice. And so Time Inc. continues on its counseled quest, creating almost enough fun to distract everyone from their more dismal problems. More »
