Ashton and Demi's wedding pics

Exactly how famous do you have to be before a magazine will spend untold millions to have the rights to your wedding pictures? For those of you who don't know yet, OK! magazine bought the rights to the photos of Ashton and Demi's undoubtedly sacred and personal event.
Granted, OK! needed the scoop to complement their big splash into the U.S. market. Granted, if someone's willing to give you enough money to pay for the big party, it's one hell of a thing to consider. But seriously, while so many would consider such a thing, very few would act on it. Who has? Besides Ashton (who sported a fedora during the ceremony... um, ridiculous) and Demi, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones sold their wedding photos and put the money into a trust or something for their kid. Nicky Hilton and her first husband did; I think Donald Trump and his latest wife did; as well as the ever-classy Britney and Kevin Federline.
I'm brought back to the days of celebrities releasing one of their wedding photos to the masses (Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are a good example); and having that be the end of it. No auctions to the highest bidder. No cheapening the entire experience with a price tag.
