NY Magazine has an interesting article on the celebrity infested city. There is a section where the top paparazzi reveal their favorite stars and more. Steve Sands, who is one of the photographers interviewed, even hinted that Gwyneth asked him to take photos of Apple and she may have made some money off the deal as well. Here's more:

Biggest score?
Gwyneth Paltrow’s baby photo of Apple. That made a lot of money—$500,000 to $750,000. Maybe even a million. She asked me to do it. I e-mailed her, and she said, “I’m going to have my baby. Why don’t you come shoot it?”Did you pay her for the photo?
Sandra Bullock asked a friend of mine on a movie set, “What did Steve pay Gwyneth for that picture?” and he said, “He didn’t pay her anything.” Sandra said, “Bullshit. No way a celebrity’s going to do something like that without taking any money.” Well, guess what? She was right. But that’s all I’m going to say.

Hope thats lie, gwyn would not do that, I dont buy it
1i like the tone of that background-color against her hair. it's very pretty.
2Gwyn's not preggers again is she?
3Love Sandra Bullock she is a straight shooter
4haha yep, i like sandra bullock too and its pretty cool we have the same name.
5that dress in the second picture is really pretty. however, i've seen prettier pics of gwyneth. she almost kinda sorta looks fug.
6Wonder how much skankalina pocketed??
Tom“I disagree with people
7Gwenyth is fug and she's a real b*tch from some of her previous comments. She's not A-list anymore, the only time you see her is when she's pregnant again.
8sweet SanD is your last name bullock ??? LOL
9Wow another troll.
10no-names---i'm pretty sure angelina...sorry "skankalina"...gave that money to some charity.
11haha, no yaya. unfortunately its not bullock.
12I for one never thought she was cute in the beuty sense of the word, shes an average looking girl that has good style. I used to hate her when she first came out but now I odn't hate or like her. She's just there, apple is a cutey though
13LOl SanD
14Apple is very cute, but i dont think she asked the photographers to take pics of her, they usually go to her!
15I used to like Gwyneth, until she becamee a bit pretentious.
16Loooooooove Sandra B.. can anybody say While You Were Sleeping?!?!
17Grrr something's up with popsugar my comments are getting deleted
( They're not that bad
( lol.. wtf? Is anyone else having probs?
Anyway Gwyneth is a self absorbed idiot. You can tell in her interviews that she thinks she's some super intellectual and it's annoying as hell. I wouldn't be surprised if she pocketed the money for the pictures.. that's what Hollywood's all about, right?? $$$$$$$$$$$$$..
18Karma, I lOVE that movie!! one of my favorites Sandy B movies. BTW, what happened to that dude that plaid the snobby boyfriend?
19Yeah I got your first message in the email, weird whats happening to you (Good job rewriting it LOL)
Gwyneth is a self absorbed idiot. Her interviews make it pretty apparent that she thinks she's some kind of super intellectual and its annoying as hell. I wouldn't really be surprised if she pocketed money for the pictures.. it's not like she needs it but really that's what Hollywood's all about, right. $$$$$$$$. She might have thought if people were going to be making money off of her baby, she might as well be one of them.
20I guess I must have missed the time when Gwyn wasn't pretentious.
People have been saying she was shallow for years and not a very nice person.
21I love Sandra Bullock too, She's great, but I don't care about Gwyneth and I hate Coldplay too! hahahaha
22LOL Sica
I hate coldplay too, can you imagine how whiny he is?
23Oh man I LOVE coldplay.. they kick arse!! Well I love their music, dunno about her husband he might be a whiney *sshole
And yeah Sandy B is awesome and While You Were Sleeping is one of my favs!! The snobby bf?? You mean Sandy on the OC????
LOL ty I tried to rewrite it as best I could before my 3rd cup of coffee.
24Not the OC, Sandra Bullock in while you were sleeping, the actor that played the sexy brunette, I think he was a doctor in the movie. I havent seen him in anything in a long time.
25Hmm yeah you're talking about the guy that she's in love with in the beginning of the movie that falls on the train tracks right?? THe one that's in a coma for most of the movie??? That's the only sexy brunette I can think of.. it was that dude (he's playing Sandy on the OC now) and his brother was Bill Pullman.. who I always thought was really cute and nobody seems to agree with me.
26LOL yes that dude. I got confused by Sandy, why is a guy called sandy. I had no idea he was in the OC. Yes I thought Bill Pullman was cute too back then. Now he looks like a grandma
27I love Sandra Bullock! She seems so real and so nice.
I would imagine that ol' Steve won't be requested for any more pics by Ms. Paltrow. Way to bite the hand that feeds you!
28i love sandra bullock!!!!! as for gwen i'm with caligirl(1:31post) on this one. she is a snob and i'm not impressed with her in the slightest.
29gwen used to be cool, but now she is a stuck up brat. Her kids are gonna be polo playing, popped collar, boarding school snots
30LMAO @ 'I'm going to have my baby. Why don't you come shoot it?' Maybe I hav a weird sense of humour, but i found that quote funny, lol!
31I cannot stand this pretentious b*tch. Ever since she talked trash about Ben Affleck, who just seems like one of the sweetest guys out there, I have loathed her immensely. She just seems like the b*tchy girl in high school who is popular but no one actually likes.
32Her face looks exactly the same in all 3 pics
33I never liked Gwyneth that much. the colors at the background of the magazine together with her hair and clothes are gorgeous
34She looks great!
35I actually think she is really pretty, but can definitely see how she would have a b*tchy side...
36Babies did good things for Gwenny - look at her boobs - before she was more flat chested than NK.! Still don't really like her tho - she seems like a very boring person.
37Love Ya,
Daisy Mae
If she wanted the money-- why didn't she just arrange a photoshoot and sell them herself? That way, she wouldn't really have to share the profits. I don't buy it.
38I love Gwen, I just think she is a very polished & classic looking woman with a lot of style and grace. She is very private and rarely do you see her drama aired on tabloids. No talk of bad marriage, drugs, weight issues, etc ... She is apart of that elite well-mannered group- like Reese, Tom Hanks, John Travolta, Robin Williams, Paul Newman ... Quiet and hidden from the microscope.
I have nothing bad to say about her or Chris Martin ...
39I loved her when she first hit the scene (Flesh and Bone was a great performance) and when she was with Brad. I thought it was nice of her to fight to get Ben signed to Bounce even though they had broken up. She was always a little snobby, but thats how she was raised. I mean she went to Spence in NY where you have to take Latin and liberal arts classes. Not your average hs experience.
Anyway she has dissappeared into mommydom. Good for her. She already scored her Oscar and between her hubby and herself I doubt she is hurting for money. I also think the death of her dad and grandfather back to back taught her the importance of family. She will probably pull a Jodie Foster and do like one or two movies every five years or so.
40I think (and someone correct me if I'm wrong) that Gwyneth has admitted to staging the 'candid' photos that were released of she, Chris and Apple. The thinking behind it was if they just posed for a photo and let it out to different outlets, that would be easier than being chased down the street by the 'razzi trying to get a shot of the baby.
41Anybody who names their kid Apple obviously is one sandwich short of a picnic
42LOL Emily - that was too funny! And then she followed it up w/ Moses!
oooh, who was it that named their kid Moxie Crimefighter? Oh, and Nic Cage with Kal'el (from Superman)! Crazy, Crazy, Crazy!
My name is plain old Anna and I've always hated it (rhymes w/ a certain fruit...lol) - imagine what it would be like growing up with those names. Oh the horror!
Love Ya,
43Daisy Mae
Eh oh well if she did. who cares? not me.
44There are a lot of celebrities who give their kids bizarre names ... Moon Zappa ... Soile Moon Frey ... Coco Arquette ... Rumor, Tulala and Scout Willis ... lol !! Rumor and Scout, sorry, freak names.
45I realize this is a late post, but what is up with her paranormal hand in the last pic? And to think some people still don't believe covers are photoshopped!
46Penn of Penn and Teller named is daughter Moxie Crimefighter.
I used to like Gwyn, but then she started talking smack about America when she moved to England and her pretentious side (which has always been there) completely erupted. YOU'RE NOT BRITISH, GWYN!! You may have married a Brit and spawned, but that doesn't change the fact that you're American.
47wantonwren, that is EXACTLY was annoys me about her.
48Same here.
49is it me or she the most boring celeb ever! EVER.
