The Twins edition sold in 2,6 million copies. That makes this special edition, the fourth best seller in People’s magazine history.
First one is the 9.11 issue (4,1 million copies), second Princess Di’s death (3 million copies), third JFK’ death (2,8 million copies). That’s not the only record broken – the online people.com 6 million unique visitors in the firs 24 hours of the cover release is by far a spike since people.com registers around 8,8 million visitors monthly. J.Lo, eat your heart out! Is this buzz well deserved or just fabricated like everything else Hollywood?

Alright I’ll admit it.I bought a copy.Of course its all so orchestrated and meant to sell but I just couldn’t stop my hand from grabbing an issue at the bookstore.Something came over me like Reagan McNeil possesed jumping out of that bed!
I know I know I need help!!!
Btw I also got me the USmagazine issue.
No €-cent to this attention seeking couple here. No way. I do donate for good causes. I do it because I want to. By myself. I know lovely babies enough. I don’t see anything special on these IVF-twins, Hollywood newest accessory….

Aww…too late! ;)
I did not buy this magazine, although I do not mind them at all.
They get attention because they are famous, rich, attractive and make films and that is all and that is why. Also if they get attention for helping people and rebuilding a New Orleans neighbourhood, I’d rather hear about that then about Lindsay Lohan’s romps with Sam Ronson, the Olsen Twins foray into fashion and partying or Paris Hilton’s latest whatever or the fact that Jennifer Aniston broke up with John Mayer and is on the market again.
At least news about them is positive and forward.
So love them or hate them they are not going away. The press and the public love to love them and love to hate them!
Ellington, I don’t expect that Angelina and Brad are humaritians and lives like Mother Theresa did. Their are a lot of famous and infamous people who do the same things as they do. Not all celebrities gets or wants attention as much as they do or should I say as Angelina does? Brad has been, despite the admiration he has always been very laid back and hated the spotlights. Since his passion has been always architecture I can imagine it makes him happy to help the New Orleans project. But as well you as I and as the rest of the world knows: New Orleans will never be the same again. And a lot of the poor shall never return home sad enough. And in fact they should have build something like our Delta-Works first to protect the area against another flood.
Tho that has nothing to do with this couple…..
I do not not hate them nor love them. I just wander, since I see them parading all these children around whats the use? Whats the need?
Well we do not agree,we’re just human. I do agree with you tho on all the nonsens they publish on a lot of ‘celebs’ for whatever reason they are ‘famous’ for.
They’re IVF twins? Dang! I knew I should have gotten that magazine! Seriously, I gotta get out more …
I was surprised to learn about the IVF treatment too!!!
and I thought it was Brad’s stud performance quality!
Was that in the magazine? The one I didn’t get? The one I stared at in various check out aisles at probably a dozen stores? THAT magazine??
IVF … hmm. I’m w/ you: Brad’s studliness (I’m a horse breeder, incidentally, so you DON’T want to imagine the picture in my head) but really, just like w/ horses — breed for superior genes and both of them are gorgeous, intelligent people. That IVF thing really has me confused, though. I mean — WHY?
Why IVF? I guess it’s a fashion.. And when you can have two, why stop at one? But rumors has it that Angie couldn’t conceive (before the IVF) so they went for the IVF because of that, mostly. I would’ve suggested her to eat something before anything, but hey, I’m no doctor! And surely not Angie’s!
I think people need someone to look up to, a beautiful couple (more or less couple..) controversial, unstoppable. It’s magnetic. Like Dolly said, she had her own copy too. And there’s no need to call for help, it’s natural. They attract and I think they’ll always do, no matter if they try to save New Orleans or Cambodia, I don’t think they necessarily parade. What I do am convinced of is that they’re our product. We made them that way. Every single celebrity out there is because of us (in a generic manner). And that our response to their actions is somehow a reaction to what we would’ve wanted them to do, to be.
What do you want Angie to do next? We should post something like that from time to time. And have it done, like in a voodoo of some kind.
Kpriss, that won’t be long I just found out that W’s november cover and inside shoot of Angie and their brood is photographed by papa Brad himself at their Chateau Miraval in the south of France…..The source didn’t mentioned anything about involved charities.
I feel sorry for these kids because they don’t live a normal life at all. So there they go again on ‘parade’! I don’t believe the paparazzi or anyone did push them to do so…..
I agree, celebrities are our own product tho I’m not active by supporting magazines and/or enjoying ad-campaigns with celeb faces…. As a matter of fact, a film-buff like I am, is very annoyed to have been unconcious brainwashed while seeing a movie and have to think of Dior or whatever brand! Even if the story-line don’t give me any reason to do so but the actress does! Grrrrrr….
There’s tho a prediction this celeb-thing is going to end. Oh, please let it be in my life-time to feel the real magic of film again….
(Europeans say ‘film’ not ‘movie’ btw.)
I saw that W cover and I don’t think the children are Brad and Angie’s brood.I thought it looked camp and cheeky.Are Reality covers the next big fad?
Dolly Bird, I that was when they were just lovers. This is another one. A new one……
This is what the source said about it (via FWD):
New papa photographs Angelina Jolie and family for the cover of November W at Chateau Miraval
Monday, August 25, 2008
(NEW YORK) Several Hollywood sources exclusively confirmed to Fashion Week Daily that Brad Pitt photographed Angelina Jolie and brood at the Chateau Miraval in the South of France last week for the November cover of W. This is Pitt’s inaugural turn creating a cover, although photography has been a longtime hobby of his. Not only did he appear on the March 2007 cover of Interview wielding a camera, Jolie reportedly gave him a Littman 45 single camera as a birthday gift. This marks the second time W has scored a highly-coveted Pitt/Jolie exclusive. In 2005, the magazine ended months of speculation when Pitt collaborated with friend Steven Klein to create a photo portfolio of Jolie and Pitt in the feature “Domestic Bliss” from the July 2005 issue.
I read this on a fashion blog. It seems celebs and fashion or fashion and celebs are very strong union now. Well it is what it is….so I stick to my ‘attention seeking’ opinion.
Oh I get it now!
Of course the November issue wouldn’t be out right now so I probably saw the ‘other’ W cover.How misleading some articles can be.Thanks Adriana!
