Jennifer Lopez and her husband Marc Anthony were paid a staggering $6m (€3.7m) for the first pictures of their newborn twins Max and Emme.

People magazine dug deep for the rights to show the world the month-old tots - trumping the $1.5m (€946,054) a rival paid pop star Christina Aguilera for the first snaps of her baby son Max.

Tabloid editors claim stars are competing to win more and more money from magazines - and that if pregnant Angelina Jolie is carrying twins, as is rumoured, she can expect a $10m (€6.3m) payday.

One magazine boss tells the New York Post: "It's at the point now where some stars might decide to have more kids just to collect the money from their photos."
