Jay-Z and Beyoncé revealed the first pictures of their newborn daughter, Blue Ivy, last week, said UsMagazine.com. The rapper, 42, and the singer, 30, rejected the potential to earn millions, choosing to post the pics on blogging site Tumblr under an account they set up themselves, instead of selling them to the highest bidder. “B really thought about this,” said a friend. “She just couldn’t imagine selling pictures of her baby.” Celebrity couples from Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have earned up to $11 million selling baby photos.
