Leave it to Donald Trump to exploit money anyway he can. If you are interested in photos of Donald with his wife and family at Mar-a-Lago, prepare to write a cheque for $20,000.

There is some confusion in how this works, but Gawker reports Getty Images takes a cut, and passes the rest on to “the money-grubbing celebrity.” Gawker also reports that Donald Trump knows nothing about this supposed alliance with Getty.

Anyways, believe it or not andPOP will not be purchasing these photos. In fact, we feel like douches writing this article in the first place.

To us this seems distasteful and complete and utter sh*t. The Globe Magazine apparently has purchased photos of Gary Coleman’s last moments, taken by his ex-wife Shannon.

PopEater reports that the tabloid purchased the photos for $10,000. Many believe these photos may result in the best selling issue of the year for the magazine.

“They are going to sell a crazy amount of magazines,” a source that has seen the images tells PopEater. “Yes, it’s an ugly decision to run pictures of a man in his hospital bed minutes before he died, but dead celebrities sell.”

Remember back to six months ago, when Rihanna joined the ranks of those who have had nude pictures leaked to the media? The nude cellphone shots of Rihanna were leaked online, but it seems that the Barbadian Beauty has gotten a free pass with this scandal.

Rihanna has finally issued a statement concerning the nude shots sent to her then-boyfriend, Chris Brown. According to dose.ca, in an interview with the radio station Hot 97 earlier in the week, she described the incident as one that was a humiliating encounter with the media.

“It was humiliating and embarrassing,” she continued. “Especially my mom having to see that. It was two days before Mother’s Day, so I was nervous.” She went to say that she felt “like my whole privacy was taken before that and then, when that came out, I thought, ‘Oh great, so now there’s nothing they don’t know about me and my private life.”

The pictures, which feature Rihanna, a cellphone and a mirror, are not overly more scandalous than her latest promotional photoshoot for Rihanna’s Rated R coming soon.

A photographer who took family portraits of Britney Spears and her sons has sold the pics to OK! magazine, despite previously insisting she would not.

The shots taken by Dani Brubaker in early November are featured in the issue released today. In the accompanying article, Brubaker says that she found Spears to be “very attentive… She was very loving. She told me she loved her children and that they are her life.”

The photos were meant to be private, though Spears did not get Brubaker to sign a contract to keep them that way. On the Britney Spears fansite BreatheHeavy.com, Brubaker previously claimed that she would not compromise her morality by selling the pictures.

“The images from the shoots were never available for purchase, although I have been offered upwards of half a million dollars,” Brubaker wrote. “Recent postings indicate that I profited from these images. Which is not true. My integrity isn’t for sale.”

It is unknown how much Brubaker sold her integrity for.
