Actor and new father of twins, Brad Pitt is livid and he will prove it if you push him. A photographer, armed with a special telephoto lens, was able to snap some shots of Brad and partner Angelina Jolie and family on the grounds of their secluded estate, Chateau Miraval in the south of France.

The alleged photos are being shopped around now and Pitt has instructed his lawyer to threaten legal action against The Smoking Gun, the source who apparently first put them on their website. Pitt’s legal team has issued stern letters to multiple sources, instructing them to immediately remove photos from websites. They have also instructed The Smoking Gun to inform the Pitt legal team of any pertinent information relative to any ongoing attempts by other news sources to purchase photos. They also forbid them from publishing the legal letter – but that didn’t stop them from posting it on their site.

Reuters is reporting that the final price in the bid for the first exclusive photos of Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon is $11 million. The couple are said to be donating all proceeds to charity. But if photos hit news stands before the official release – the exclusive photo deal would be worth far less to the top bidder.

This situation may well push forward the release of exclusive photographs. We can’t wait to see them.
