People magazine is willing to offer Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony somewhere between 4 and 6 million dollars for pictures of their little monsters miracles:

People magazine is poised to pay Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony between $4 million and $6 million for exclusive U.S. rights to the first photos of their expected twins, people familiar with the negotiations said last week. At the high end, the payout would not only match box-office receipts for J.Lo’s “Gigli,” maybe a modest achievement even for newborns, but also set a stratospheric standard in the market for celebrity baby photos. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, after all, only generated $4 million — if that.

We’re not sure why J-Lo’s, whose album and movie sales have left a lot to be desired, babies are worth more than our college tuition. Our guess? They are made of rainbows and Happy Meal toys and, when tickled, emit a high-frequency pitch that tricks and confuses the listener into thinking Marc Anthony is super hot.
