Movie & TV News @ IMDb.com - WENN: "Magazine Threatens To Sue Bloggers Over Pitt-Jolie Photos
Attorneys acting for American publication People magazine have demanded websites immediately remove unauthorized photographs of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie with their new baby. The couple sold the North American rights for the prized first pictures of daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to the magazine for a reported $4.1 million. Britain's Hello! magazine has reportedly secured the international rights to the photos, which allegedly appeared on various gossip blogs yesterday. It is not clear whether the pictures that appeared briefly are authentic. The leaked photos feature Pitt and Jolie in a Hello! magazine spread gazing down adoringly at their new baby. Representatives for Time Inc, the publisher of People magazine, immediately sent out letters threatening legal action to various gossip blogs accusing them of copyright infringement. The document demands the websites must 'expeditiously remove or disable access to the infringing photograph upon receiving this notice.' The celebrity couple announced on Monday they were selling the photos through America's Getty photo agency and donating the profits to a charity benefiting African children."

Why can't people just play nice! As you may have read in one of my previous blogs, I put forth this suggestion to Angelina and Brad. Of course I realize that they didn't get the idea from reading my blog < grin >, but it sure is nice to know that they are as smart as I. (Or is that "as me" I never do recall, so I guess I am not that smart after all. < wink >)

I may actually go out and buy a People trash mag just to support the cause! Bravo Angelina and Brad, way to give it to those sleeze bags that call themselves photojournalists.
