People denies condition to Jolie's positive coverage
Washington (ANI): People magazine has denied there were any restrictions or conditions placed during Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie's twins pictures deal. According to reports, a deal Jolie struck with the magazine to publish pictures of her newborn twins not only involved a 14 million dollars payment but also an alleged guarantee of "positive" coverage, reports CBS News.
She reportedly made the condition during negotiations with People and other magazines, which were competing to carry the first pictures of the latest additions to the Hollywood couple's family. The actress sought a promise from the winning magazine that it would not include any negative coverage of their family, not only in the piece about the twins but also in all future articles, according to reports.
