Everyone’s favorite transgendered mom/dad, Thomas Beatie, appeared on Good Morning America yesterday and pictures of the new baby are featured in this week’s issue of People. The couple was reportedly paid $300,000 for the pics.
My immediate reaction?
I thought Barack Obama said the Access Hollywood interview was the LAST time he would put his daughters in the media spotlight?
Putting that aside, this is an incredibly strong cover for Larry Hackett’s People magazine.
It’s the first cover featuring the entire Barack Obama family. (Janice Min’s Us Weekly was the first glossy glossy to feature Barack & Michelle Obama on its cover.)
While the Obama family photo is strong, it’s worth noting that Michelle Obama is somewhat in the background. Do you think that was done on purpose?
I do. Her popularity is in question and editors think about these types of things when it comes to selecting the final cover picture.
The Insets:
Last week, the National Enquirer received a lot of flack for its Cher marriage cover especially after Cher’s rep denied she was getting married.
I wonder what the reaction - if any - there will be to this week’s cover featuring Oprah Winfrey allegedly “betraying Stedman [Graham].”
Do you believe this?
Thomas Beatie, the 34-year-old transgender man who came out as pregnant in the The Advocate, gave birth on Thurdsay to a health girl, reports ABC News.
What does she look like?
