Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon are, at long last, ready for their closeups. Their outlandishly overpriced, highly anticipated, paparazzi-thwarting closeups.
As has been long expected, the deep pockets over at People magazine won the bidding war for the U.S. and Canadian rights to the twins’ first photoshoot, with Hello! magazine snagging the international exclusive.
Though there’s no official word on how much the publications shelled out to show the world Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie‘s genetically blessed double act—or whether the newborns can out-cute big sis Shiloh’s People debut—reports have placed the camera coup at $14 million.
For those keeping score at home, that’s more than double the $6 million People shelled out for the exclusive for Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony‘s twins, Max and Emme.
The Jolie-Pitts have already made clear, however, that all the money from the photos will be donated to charity.
The twins, not yet one month old having entered the world to much fanfare on July 12, will make their cover debuts on both People and Hello! on Monday.
In an unnecessary attempt to generate more interest in the issue, People will debut the cover shot online Sunday night at 7 p.m. EST.
Let the countdown begin.

Hollywood Newsroom noted
that Google ads are now popping up for searches on “Tom Cruise” that say “Official Tom Cruise Site. Stay Tuned for the Official Launch of TomCruise.com. Check it out!” or alternatively “Official Tom Cruise Site. The Countdown is On. TomCruise.com launches May 5th. Get the scoop!” and links to TomCruise.com.
Because it’s a Saturday and I’m interested in Tom Cruise in the same way people are interested in accident scenes as they drive by, I decided to dig a little.
The site currently shows a countdown clock that ends on 9 AM Monday morning (somebody please double check the math for me). The domain name was registered by an attorney, Benita Das, at the Los Angeles law firm Greenberg Glusker Fields Claman & Machtinger. Das is not listed as an attorney on the firm’s directory, but I did find a reference to her back in 2002. Is this one of the law firms that Tom Cruise uses? I have no idea. They do practice entertainment law, though.
The domain was first purchased on November 6, 1996, but very little was done with it until now. The last update to the whois information was April 28, 2008. My guess is that the law firm bought the domain name on Cruise’s behalf. That would explain why the attorney is the registered owner, at least for now.
Just yesterday Cruise was back on the Oprah Winfrey show promising to “strictly divide” talking about his absolutely insane personal causes, and film promotion. Which topic will be the focus on TomCruise.com? Who cares. This is likely the last time I’ll visit the site.
