Brooke Shields Child Porn Could Cost Tate $500k
A photo of Brooke Shields posing nude at age 10 could cost the Tate Modern a cool half a mil if the catalogs printed for its ‘Pop Life’ exhibition can’t be sold. Fearing more protests if they release the catalog with Shield’s preteen pose, museum’s publishing wing is facing the prospect of dumping 12,000 printed copies, according to the Telegraph. In the meantime, the Tate has taken the “temporary measure” of selling the catalog with the offending photo censored with a sticker until legal experts decide what to do, but you can see it in all its pervy glory after the jump. |Telegraph|

And to think that her mother jumped at the $400 offered by the photographer at the time. What’s worse – a mother prostituting her daughter off for financial gain or a museum for exhibiting the resulting photo decades later?
