Were the Brangelina Baby Pics Photoshopped?

We are so over two things right now. One is the discussion of how much People Magazine paid for the Pitt-Jolie-clan cover shot (more than $14 mil, in case you managed not to hear). The other is the constant analysis of Photoshop intervention in magazine covers. Now a few articles that cover our two least favorite things are making the rounds of the Web. Said articles speculate that MAYBE the babies aren't as cute as they seem on the cover.
Did People's Photoshoppers PASTE ON baby Vivienne's smile? Maybe they did, if the evidence involving a citation from Parenting mag, which alleges that "babies don't smile from external stimulation until 2-4 months," is enough to prove the point. The articles also speculate that maybe the babies were just born weeks ago, which is why they're able to smile, and that Brangelina just didn't tell us. Either way, the celebrity couple is lying, it would seem.
Well maybe the li'l ones were burping. Or maybe the photographers were just really patient. Whatev. In short, we are way more interested in this picture, which makes for a far more interesting debate. [Source: New York via Style Dash]

to Wow:
Angelina Jolie has only had problems with her father Jon Voight, which was why she legally dropped the "Voight" out of her name and uses her middle name as her last. She always loved her mom and was devastated when she passed away.
However, I do believe that I heard she has made amends with her dad, which I think was at its worst when he spoke about his concerns over her to the press. She wanted her private life private and he gabbed very personal concerns. Although anyone might feel the same in her position, it did get really extreme.

Robert..it's POLPOT not Potpol...geez
Before you berate someone, get your facts straight.
I think the babies are cute. I think coming from that couple, how could they not be? Angelina looks great without makeup--wish I looked that good WITH makeup...
Everyone complains about the $$ they got for the photoshoot--but you know, every one of those people that complained took a look at the photos, didn't they???
Lighten up. Yes, there's a war going on. Has been going on for some time now.

Babies muscles are, for the most part, uncontrollable. Almost every expression will go across a newborns face once it is born. Snap a picture at any time and you can speculate all you want on what the baby is "feeling". Bottom line, the little thing is just getting used to it's body and the outside world.
Every baby is different and born with their own unique level of "skills". Some even have trouble sucking, and that is an important reflex for survival. You certainly can't say "the baby doesn't LIKE breasts" because their sucking reflex is weak.
So much of the talk is just overthinking way too many things.

They must be nuts paying 14 mil for that photo. I wouldn't even pay 14 mil to have Brads baby and he is fine.
