(Newser) – Matthew McConaughey landed a $3 million deal with OK! magazine for the first photos of son Levi, TMZ reports, a deal which includes photos of the tyke’s first Christmas. But all were not happy with baby's first payday: "His publicist begged him not to work with [OK!] because he's considered an A-lister," an insider told the New York Post.

"But Matthew hired money man Todd Shemarya, who brokered the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie $4 million People deal." The weekly also reportedly secured first rights to wedding photos should the Hollywood hunk marry his babymama Camila Alves.
