Oh, thats what she does for a living....

Angelina Jolie Gets $2 Million For Flaunting Pax In Mags

As Angelina Jolie knows, adopting a child can be very rewarding - you get the satisfaction of being a parent, the joy of knowing you're giving an underprivileged kid a better life, plus you get truckloads of cash when you flog the snaps to a magazine.

Now that Angelina Jolie is the full legal owner of her new adopted three-year-old Vietnamese son Pax Thien Jolie, she's going to have to teach Pax the ways of life. Rule one of that seems to involve whoring out your new kids when they're at their most confused and vulnerable - in addition to the pictures of Angelina Jolie and Pax Thien that grace the front cover of Hello magazine this week, Angelina Jolie has also sold further exclusive pictures of her new family to People magazine for $2 million, according to one report.

We're in the wrong business here - after some rough calculations we've discovered that if we convince a moviestar to leave his wife for us and then traipse around the world adopting babies with him and selling their pictures to magazines for the same price that Angelina Jolie does, by Christmas we'll have enough cash to buy that golden child-powered yacht we've had our eye on.

If we were orphaned in a war-torn poverty-filled country with terrible infant mortality rates, it'd be Angelina Jolie that we'd want to adopt us. Meg Ryan's adopted kid is painfully anonymous and getting adopted by Madonna seems like too much of a hassle - but when Angelina Jolie adopts you, boy, are you in for the good life. David Beckham teaches you football, you're allowed to annoy Graham Norton all you like, you get more Christmases than any other children and if you're well-behaved you might even get to see Mummy run over an Indian.

Plus there's all the fame - even though she wasn't adopted, Angelina Jolie's last child Shiloh Nouvel was the most famous person on the planet for a spell last year. Over a short period of time Shiloh Nouvel was whored out to magazines, turned into a bona fine fashion icon and finally carved out of wax - and now it's the turn of Pax Thien Jolie, the little Vietnamese boy that Angelina Jolie adopted either normally or a little bit fast-tracked.

But before he can get his hands on a creepy wax likeness of himself, Pax Thien will first have to sit through a photoshoot with People magazine, for which Angelina Jolie could be paid a couple of million dollars, as Radar reports:

Sources… say the globetrotting actress and her not-quite-husband, Brad Pitt, have sold the first photos of their newest adoptee to People. We hear the price tag was between $1.75 million and $2 million, with Getty Images, which brokered the deal, taking a fee of between 5 and 10 percent. A People spokesperson calls that number "absurd," but adds, "We don't comment on the specifics on any negotiations."

And in the meantime - as Pax is flown back to America to meet Brad Pitt - Angelina Jolie has been seen on the cover of Hello magazine with Pax Thien, and has spoken about how freaked out he is by everything all the time. This Is London reports:

The Tomb Raider star told Hello!: "He is a very serious, very sweet little boy. "We are slowly beginning to build his trust and bond but it will feel complete only when we are all a family. You can imagine what courage it takes to be in all new surroundings with new people and a new language. He is very strong. It will take him a while to realise he has a family; that his new life is permanent and it won't keep changing." Jolie has given Pax Thien a Gameboy as one of his first presents. "He has never had anything to call his own," she explained.

All that is bound to change, though - even if Angelina Jolie is determined to keep Pax Thien as earthy and grounded as possible, aspects of materialism are almost certain to creep into his life. For example, what's waiting for Pax Thien in his new American bedroom? As many unsold Troy action figures as he could ever wish for, that's what.
