From Christina Aguilera, Nicole Richie, and Jennifer Lopez to Brad and Angelina - Their babies' pictures are worth millions! Celebrity parents climb all over the Lycos 50 this week and for these stars, its all about babies!

Most recently, Page Six reported Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony will cash in on photo rights for their future twins, anywhere between four and six million dollars for the new baby pics. Christina Aguilera's son, Max, only a few weeks old, have hit the stands. His worth? People Magazine won that bidding war with a rumored $2 million offer for photos of baby Aguilera. Nicole Richie, who gave birth around the same time as Aguilera, also got in on some of the baby-picture-cash-cow. Perez Hilton reports photos of Richie's new daughter, Harlow Madden, caught a cool $1 Million.

Roxanne Motamedi, Executive Director of Entertainment at Getty Images, recently told the New York Daily Times, "Everyone is curious to see [the babies]." Motamedi's agency was hired to photograph baby Max. "The bigger the celebrity, the more people want to know what the baby looks like. It sells magazines."

Speaking of babies, Britney Spears dropped from #4 to #6 this week, which we are guessing will pick up again now that her custody battle case started this week. Brit's good friend Paris Hilton's ranking also dipped to #7 with her new movie "The Hottie and the Nottie" getting horrible reviews. Fellow reality television star Kim Kardashian, jumped a few spots from #17 to #13. Lindsay Lohan went down a few spots this week hitting #30 from #27, but with her New York Magazine debut, we're sure that will turn around soon enough. The Ladies seem to be dominating the Lycos 50 this week with Salma Heyak at # 29, Brooke Burke at #42, Maddona at # 43, Vanessa Hudgens at #47, Oprah at #49 and Adriana Lima toping it off at number #50.

Go Girls!
