OK! Magazine Loses Christina?s Son Photos Deal

Christina Aguilera Contract Prohibited OK! Magazine From Running Nicole Richie Daughter Photos

When Christina Aguilera’s first born makes his big photo debut it won’t be on the cover of OK! Magazine, according to a new report. Despite a $1.5 million offer for the first photos of Max Liron Bratman from the celebrity tab that ran her wedding photos, Xtina has ended talks with OK! because the magazine would not guarantee a full-cover photo of Christina and son. OK! also refused to blackball photos of Nicole Richie’s infant daughter, Harlow, from running in the magazine, despite a specific request from the Grammy Award-winning singer.

“Christina has an inflated sense of her own value and seems to expect an extortionate amount of money for these baby pictures. I’m not sure OK! or much of the industry thinks is a dollar figure that’s worth it. … She hasn’t proven to be a real seller.”

“The OK! wedding cover didn’t sell as well as they hoped, and even her recent Marie Claire cover underperformed, all things considered,” MSNBC reports.

The terms of Christina’s contract included a promise that a magazine that buys the Bratman baby photos from running photos of Nicole Richie’s new baby. “Christina can’t stand Nicole. Nothing would make her more upset than to see those two babies on the same cover, even if it wasn’t at the same time.”

Haggis to ink deal with Tom Cruise?s company

Haggis takes Hwy61 to United Artists

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Filmmaker Paul Haggis has inked an overall deal with United Artists that will have the Oscar winner writing, producing and possibly directing projects with the studio through his newly created Hwy61 production shingle.

Under the terms of the pact, which is nonexclusive and leaves Haggis free to collaborate elsewhere, the “Crash” director is expected to produce two films a year with his producing partner Michael Nozik.

First up for Hwy61 — the name is taken from the Bob Dylan song “Highway 61 Revisited” — will be an adaptation of the children’s literature series “Ranger’s Apprentice,” with Haggis writing the screenplay with his daughter Alissa and possibly directing. UA optioned the rights to the fantasy series by Australian author John Flanagan this month.

Also under the newly struck partnership, the Santa Monica-based Hwy61 and the Paula Wagner/Tom Cruise-helmed studio have optioned the rights to the Joseph Weisberg novel “An Ordinary Spy.”

Haggis, who co-wrote and directed the Oscar-winning “Crash” and the recent Iraq War drama “In the Valley of Elah” and wrote the screenplay for the Oscar-winning “Million Dollar Baby,” said he hopes to create a home for writers and directors.

This latest venture marks more movement for the independently run UA, which this month picked up the remake rights to the Spanish film “Los Cronocrimenes,” to be produced by Steve Zaillian. That deal marked the first the studio has made since signing an interim agreement with the striking Writers Guild of America.

Ask Men: Top 99 Women 2008 Edition

Awesome news! Christina is ranked number 36 on the ‘Ask Men: Top 99 Women 2008 Edition‘.

Overall Score: 83
Your Score: 82.6
Our Score: 83.3

Why She’s No.36?
In 2006, Christina Aguilera rubbed the charts the right way with her album Back to Basics, and the Grammy-winning lead track “Ain’t No Other Man” carried her through most of ‘07. Christina Aguilera gave birth to her son, Max Liron Bratman, on January 12, 2008, but that doesn’t mean she can’t rank on AskMen.com’s Top 99 Most Desirable Women list for the third time… she’s still one red-hot mama.
