Both new moms each had their own cover of People magazine, and according to some early estimates, the issue featuring Richie is on target to sell more than 1.8 million copies, according to an industry source, whereas Aguilera’s has sold far less.
So, why would a former drug addict/trust fund kid outsell a Grammy-winning songstress? For that very reason. “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.â€
Sorry, Xtina. You lose!

A FREAK SHOW is always more entertaining, anorexic junkie has baby with future health and learning problems, Richie must be really proud of her accomplishments.{sarcasm} SAD FOR THE BABY PRAY FOR HER.
Xtina may be boring and a big voice does’t appeal to everyone but her baby has the advantage of being a WANTED BABY versus an accident, and EVERY BABY deserves to be wanted by a MOTHER AND FATHER.
I think Christina will make a better parent all around.
You can’t help but not look at a train wreck.
Both of them are latinas.
Nicole’s issue is selling more because it is a double issue which covers the Grammy’s. Get a clue!
‘Scuse me - the Oscar’s. Guess it’s me who needs to get a clue! Ha ha.
Sorry XTINA WINS she will have the LOVED and HEALTHIER baby, her mom not being an anorexic junkie.
People may be missing the obvious. As someone stated above, there is more interesting stuff in the magazine with Nicole. Maybe, just maybe, it has little to do with the cover story and more to do with what else is in the magazine. I bought it and it had nothing to do with the cover story.
X-tina is BIAAAAATCH!!!
Harlow is so damn cute……..she really is.
Harlow is beautiful.. Christina is not an interesting person period. Nicole and Joel seem down to earth and real, Christina is all fake and her husband is not cute. ( don’t care if he’s packin).
Nicole wins… her baby is much cuter and will probably be cuter in the future!!!! sorry charlie!!!!!
Christina hid her pregnancy, therefor the interest wasnt there, but Nicole kinda pimped out her pregnancy and so people care more about it!
People were more fascinated that a junkie sleleton got pregnant than a normal non drug user. MAX wins he will be healthy with two parents not a baby daddy just in it for the publicity RIDE.
Where are all the haters when a celebrity female with a new spawn lands a magazine cover? I remember seeing a lot of nastiness directed at Matthew Mcconaughey for his unwed breeding habits, both here and from People readers. Meanwhile, the woman is elevated to sainthood because she’s got the “baby bump” (shudder). All those poor celeb girlfriends, forced to breed against their will and dragged in front of cameras for an endless series of pre- and post-natal sentimental photos.
H- I beg to differ on the pimped out thing… nicole was pretty much out of sight out of mind during her pregnancy.. oh, except for her charity work… it’s NEVER too late to change and THAT’s what fascinates people.. I know for me, I WANT to see Nicole healthy and happy… if Joel and motherhood can do that for her.. then GREAT..
.
why don’t we wait to see if she actually IS a bad mother rather than damning her baby to a life of special ed classes when she can barely hold her own head up yet.
Max is way cuter
BTW…–Anonymous Bitch, I don’t feel sorry for someone dating a celeb who gets unwanted attention UNLESS they were with them BEFORE they got famous… you know the deal when dating famous
Nicole’s issue is selling more then Xtina’s just because it’s a special double issue with Oscar’s. DAHHHHHH!!
Anonymous 11:01 am, you missed my point. There’s a double standard when it comes to unwed breeding in Hollywood.
^ The comment above is mine. Arasto, please spend a little less on photo rights and get your site fixed!
I think both max and harlow are beautiful and there’s no doubt in my mind that both nicole and christina will be wonderful mothers. yall are making this big issue about nicoles past?…get over it. she’s changed and its very obvious. she’s just as great as christina.
Nicole probably has changed… but it’s not called change, it’s called growing up. I think, though, that having the Oscar dresses and cheatin’ Angelina’s baby bump also on the cover helped to sell the edition with Richie on it though.
I love Nicole Richie…so stylish. I just hope she continues to eat
Her daughter is adorable and I love that name…Harlow!
xtina is just plain boring. yeah shes talented and all but my ghad, shes got no personality.
richie’s baby already looks weird born from a junkie.
ummm i bet nicoles is selling because of angelina’s bump. lets face it. the public will always care more about brangelina (a-listers) than christina and nicole.
