Kim Kardashian 'makes baby picture plans'

Kim Kardashian allegedly plans to secretly sell her baby's first photos.

The pregnant reality TV star is reportedly keen to publicise the debut pictures of her first child with Kanye West.

However the rapper has been adamant from the start that he does not want his child - due in July - to be in the spotlight.

"Kanye has told Kim that he absolutely does not want their newborn's baby pictures to be sold," a pal revealed to Life & Style magazine. "But Kim has figured out a way around it. She arranges for the paparazzi to take an exclusive shot and pay her for it, then the paps sell the pictures to the media. The beauty of that is she can always pretend she didn't know anything about it!"

Kanye has tried to shield his unborn child from the Kardashian media circus throughout Kim's pregnancy. The source says that while Kim would like to do a full-on 'Demi Moore-style' shoot with their new arrival, Kanye is keen to mirror the move made by his fellow hip-hop star Jay-Z.

"He thinks it makes them both look bad," the source shared. "It encourages unwanted attention. Kanye just wants to release a shot of their kid on Tumblr or Instagram, similar to what his buddy Jay-Z did with Blue Ivy."

Meanwhile hype seems to be building in the Kardashain camp as the arrival date of their next member draws nearer.

Earlier today TMZ revealed Kim's elaborate baby shower plans after they obtained a photo of an invite.

Guests reportedly received a lavish functioning cream music box complete with a spinning ballerina who closely resembles Kim.

When the invites are opened, the ballerina begins dancing to a lullaby version of Kanye's hit track Hey Mama.

According to the image, Kim's shower will take place on June 2.
