I refused to even pick it up. It's a matter of principle. The only reason people are interested in these children is because of who they belong to. I have to say I respect the few celebrities who manage to keep their private lives - including kids - out of the limelight rather than using them to further their own ends (i.e. feed off the attention their kids get).

I wouldn't even have added the 'mini-peoples', but then, I am an evil child-hater. ;) @CFSinceSix - “they look like doughy puffy mini-peoples”

Christ, that’s generous.

I wouldn’t even have added the ‘mini-peoples’, but then, I am an evil child-hater. ;)

Pretty much ALL babies look the same. Except maybe for hair. But other than that, they look like doughy puffy mini-peoples. og217, I’m in complete agreement with you.

You can't even tell the black ones apart from the white ones half the time. What exactly is the point of gawking at these particular ones? I don't get it. I may be interested in seeing them all at the age of 16, just to see if they resemble their parents, but babies? I can walk around my office and see pictures in people's cubes that can, for all intents and purposes,be carbon copies. Am I the only one who thinks all babies look exactly the effing same?

I don't get it. I refuse to look at them. They're flesh loaves, just like any other. They just happen to have been hatched by famous and rich parents who are not better than other people.

We don't even hear about Shiloh any more - when was the last time that poor kid was seen out in public anyway? Wonder if she's going to call these two "blobs" and rave on about how "she doesn't feel as much for them as the adopted ones." Blecch. I think you've proved the point - can we stop now?

Get over it already! Who cares? Aren't there more important things going on in the world? I am living for the day when I can turn on the news in the morning and NOT have to see or hear about something baby-related. I guess I shouldn't hold my breath...

I wonder if those unable to have kids will now sue for mental cruelty? I mean, childfree folk are frowned on for daring to mention not wanting kids where there are women who are trying to have them, so this hoop-la must be grounds, surely? Celebrity worship in the extreme. $15MM to publish pictures of babies and fake adoring gazes!! Mad. bconrad - I noticed the transformation to white garb too.

Angie wears black all the time but for the cover pics they dress the whole gang in heavenly white. Do people IRL really look at babies like this? Those adoring gazes make me a little sick.

The only thing that matters are the couple's natural born children. Yes, they look like any other babies out there. Bald, wrinkly, and itty bitty. That's about it. Then all they'll be ugly, loud, smelling shit machines. Etc. You're not going to see how they're really going to look until the kids hit their teens. Meh... *yawn* Yet another boring celebrity worship article. Of course no one cares about the adopted children. The only thing that matters are the couple’s natural born children.
