Usher and Tameka Foster must be somewhere shaking their heads right about now: According to TMZ.com, OK! magazine paid actor Mathew McConaughey and his biracial baby mama, Camila Alves, a whopping 3 MILLION for the exclusive rights to pics of their newborn son.

Alves gave birth to the couple’s first child on Monday night, and the bidding war began shortly thereafter.

You will recall that Sean Combs threw a hissy fit at People magazine for not putting his twins on the cover. That’s the difference between A-listers and stars who think they’re A-listers.
