Legendary actress MERYL STREEP has hit out at celebrity parents who sell pictures of their newborn children for cash.
The Oscar winner is appalled whenever she hears about a star bargaining for media cash over baby photos - even if the cash is for charity.
The mother-of-four insists children's privacy is too valuable to sell snapshots to the highest bidder.
Streep says, "One thing I learned very early on is when you're famous, you lose your right to privacy. And, if you promote your children, if you have them photographed, then they lose their rights.
"But, if you do not have them photographed and (do not) sell them to OK! magazine, they have the right to... privacy and citizenship.
"They (paparazzi) can follow me, take a picture, whatever they want to do. My kids, no."
In recent months, Hollywood mums Jessica Alba, Jamie-Lynn Spears and Jennifer Lopez have released exclusive photos of their newborns in financial agreements with celebrity magazines.
It is reported that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are currently negotiating a $15 million (GBP7.5 million) deal for the exclusive photos of their newborn twins.
