Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
Apparently unable to hock their baby pics to the highest or even lowest bidder, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz posted pics of their bundle of joy online for free.
Wentz had blogged earlier this month they were offered "mounds and mounds of money" for the pics, but declined.

1. Yeah right. If they were offered "mounds and mounds" of money, I'm sure they would have given it to the charities they so-called support on that website of his.
btw, that name they gave their baby is atrocious. They should have given him a new name as his first Christmas gift.

2. Gosh, the baby is cute; but they, particulary Pete, are really fuggly. EWWWW! He looks like a little dwelf! His head is bigger than his body. Gosh, I hope their baby gets Jessica's looks. Not that that is super, but better. I say that not to be mean, but damn, it is true.

3. I heard Pete talking with the Morning Mashup Crew on Sirius. He was offered money, but he didn't believe and doesn't believe his child is a commodity. GOOD FOR HIM!
Celebs should take a cue and stop hocking their children! HELLO BRANGELINA!

6. Well it's a delicate situation. Of course it's embarrasing to admit no one is bidding for your baby pic. Wentz should be a man and openly acknowledge they're not in the same league as the A-listers, but still want to share they baby pic therefore the free posting, people would understand and appreciate that. Lying at this age and as a new father is just a shame, worse when nobody buys it, literally.

7. I know for a fact that they tried to sell their baby pics to the highest bidders and because of the economy (the tabs are suffering, too), there were no bidders. He can say what he wants to radio, etc., but they DID try and sell the pictures. They would have kept the monies for themselves opposed to give the money to a charity because that is how the SIMPSONS are. Greedy. Just like Larry Birkhead -

9. Meanwhile, something positive from this recession: The celebrity parents of Bronx Whatever were forced to put their hands back in the pockets of their really cool punk rock jackets after the tabloids refused to pay mounds and mounds of money for adorable photos of their bundle of joy.

10. I bet they were offered something by a few magazines for the pictures. After all I see them...well Ashlee anyway, on the cover of magazines all the time! It's kind of annoying!

12. I agree with #5, Pimp Daddy Joe would be there looking for his cut. Who cares about this couple any way, she is a ugly no talent skank and he is a no talent maricon.

15. I would have taken the money, and put it in a bank account for the child. I am a mother of two toddlers, and you may have it good one day & lose everything the next day. In today's economy you better take every dime you can get and save for the future, There is no guarantee that because you have a few hit albums that you are set for life, look at the Jacksons. The child will be seen in photos eventually, why not let him benefit from it like the tabloids will?
