A NICE LITTLE EARNER

This shouldn't be a surprise, but Matthew McConaughey's firstborn Levi is already managing to pay for his own nappies and legions of nannies. Matthew has always tried to come across as the type of person for whom money really isn't a motivating factor.

Witness his refusal to wear deodorant (much to the dismay of his female co-stars), the fact that he hardly ever appears in successful films and that he always looks as though he has just woken up on a beach after a massive drinking session.

Well, it turns out that he is more than willing to accept the inevitable money that comes with a celebrity birth, which means he can appear in straight-to-video-films for the foreseeable future, thanks to the income being generated by little Levi.

The world has OK! magazine (again) to thank for this development, since they have just paid $3m for the first pictures of the bare-arsed infant, but those people at OK! aren't idiots. Oh no! For this money they also get the exclusive pics of Levi's first Christmas celebrations as well. Quite a bargain, I'm sure you'll agree.

It seems that with Matthew they've missed a trick. If he's willing to sell off his son's first precious moments in such a way then surely for another million they could have insisted on a mini-webcam in the uterus of his partner? That way they could witness the conception of the next little wage slave.
