Scoop: Bristol could earn $300,000 for baby pics

When Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin confirmed that her teenage daughter, Bristol, and boyfriend Levi Johnston were expecting a baby, the celebrity weeklies knew that the first photos of the Palin-Johnston baby would incite a bidding war. Baby Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, born Dec. 28, proved those editors right.

 

According to one source, bidding for the baby photos began at $100,000. People won out in the end, but In Touch was the only other weekly to make serious bids, according to several sources involved in the process.

 

The price didn't soar immediately, according to the sources, because Sarah Palin stories just didnâ??t sell all that well for the weeklies on newsstands.

 

â??Sarah was on the cover of People, Us Weekly, and OK! the same week, and really only People saw a bump in sales," says a source.

 

The drug-related arrest of Johnston's mother, however, caused the price tag for the photos to go up.

 

â??The bidding started well before the baby was born, but once Leviâ??s mom was arrested â?? well, then you had a story,â? says one editor.

 

As for how much teen parents Bristol and Levi made from the deal â?? most estimates hover around the $300,000 range (none of the magazines would confirm the exact figure in the end, which is standard).

 

No word on whether the money will go to charity, as sometimes happens in a celeb baby deal.

Good for Bristol and Levi.

 

I hope they got at least $300k and that they use the money wisely to help themselves get started off well together.

 

May God bless them.

 

To Hell with the haters.

Ha ha, and if this was a Democrat's daughter, you would be spouting the same bullshit. Like hell you would.

 

You are so obviously disingenuous, but strangely it fits in well with your insanity, I like it :)

Got any directions?
