Driver puts Minnie-Me photo on MySpace
Minnie Driver has shunned magazine offers to cash in on the birth of her baby son, by posting a picture of him on MySpace.
Many celebs now sell the first photographs of their children to glossy magazines for huge sums of money, some even adopt extra children just to get more cash.
But the 38-year-old British actress has posted the photo on the internet because she says she simply wanted to share the photo with family and friends.
The image of her holding 9lb 12oz Henry was taken shortly after the birth on September 8 in Los Angeles.
We like the way the image was released, it is the only way we can afford to have celebrity babies on NewsLite ... most A-listers won't sell the shots for a pint and a packet of crisps.
The shot appears in the photo section of the MySpace page where over 300,000 fans have logged on to connect with the star.
A spokesperson for Driver said the star was not trying to make a point with the way she released the image, she just wanted people to see them.
Jennifer Lopez is said to have sold the images of twins, Max and Emme, for $6 million in adeal with People magazine, and Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are reportedly to have earnt $14 million for images of Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon.
