I feel that at such a young age, and the only reason they are in the media spotlight in the first place is their famous mama'a and papa's, the article should be titled most "watched or popular" babies, rather than influential. Maybe the "influential" part can come when they actually star in their first paid role, help their parents in "world peace" travels, or donate part of their trust fund to charity.
If you noticed the parents of all of those chosen had some type of controversial story, choice, etc. Brangelina are judged for their help in other nations in regards to children, Britney--speaks for itself, Dannielynn's mama died and this case is drama, drama, and more drama to come, TomKat-are they really married for love or to hide speculation of his sexuality, the Beckhams just moved here and it was whirlwind (as if they were royalty here), and Madonna possibly broke the rules and expected star treatment to speed up the process.
What about Kingston, Ava Witherspoon, Violet, or those who had absolutely no controversy, bad habits, horrible stories/pics, etc. These mamas and papas have their ducks in a row, and didn't make the list. Because they are living as close to normal of a life for their children as they can.
But that is not what makes the popular news----right baby!!!
I did find the pics of the kiddos absolutely adorable however!
