Jolie and Pitt reportedly struck a deal with a U.S. magazine to be the first to publish their baby’s photos. No word yet on which magazine will shell out the hefty sum of $5 million for pics of the tyke. A source said, "They’ve signed a [$5 million] deal with a publication and the money will go to children’s charity UNICEF. Angelina’s very private, but they figured they might as well use the opportunity of one child being born to help a lot of others."

It has been speculated that People magazine has been chosen to debut their baby’s first photos. Earlier this year, the magazine paid a reported $500,000 to a charity of Jolie’s choice in exchange for pics of Jolie’s ever-growing belly. Another deal was allegedly struck for recent photos taken of Pitt, Jolie, and kids Maddox, 4, and Zahara, 16 months enjoying some time in the Namibian desert.

As for Pitt and Jolie, they have been staying out of the limelight these days and are reportedly camped out in a resort in Namibian awaiting the birth of their child. The couple and their two children are reportedly holed up at a resort called Burning Shores and security around the place has been put into high gear since it is believed that Jolie is set to give birth any day now. There was a report in the Namibian newspaper on Thursday that said Jolie was "expected to go into labor in the next 48 hours." Baby Pitt-Jolie isn’t expected to make his or her debut until early June, but there has been some speculation that Jolie looks ready to pop so who knows…maybe a star will be born in the near future.
