Nicole Richie appeared to be the winner of the battle of the baby covers, leaving Christina Aguilera in her dust. Both new moms were featured on magazine covers, but Nicole’s issue of People Magazine out-sold Christina’s cover of OK! Magazine.
Nicole holding newborn daughter Harlow sold more than 1.8 million issues, while Christina and son Max’s issue reportedly sold considerably less.
One magazine insider said part of it could come down to the moms’ fan bases. “Christina historically doesn’t do that well on covers,” said the source, who cites poor sales of her wedding photo issue in OK!, and less-than-stellar sales of her nude photo shoot in the January 2008 Marie Claire.
“There’s also a greater element of curiosity with Nicole,” the source conceded. “She’s gone public about being a heroin addict. Her boyfriend is covered in tattoos. By default, she’s got the more interesting baby. People want to see how she settles down. They want to see what kind of baby someone with her background has.”
It’s true: tattoo-heroin babies are much more interesting than plain, non-druggy, non-tattooed babies.

Nic’s baby looks like it has FAS or worse. Gross…Christina may not have won sales, but she won the family race.

I think Harlow is beautiful and Max is a cutie. It’ll be interesting to see how they grow up. Personally, I don’t think Nicole and Joel are that bad looking, and Christina and Monkey Boy are hideous. Harlow may end up the cutest baby. Let’s just pray Max doesn’t inherit Monkey Boy’s ears.
