It wasn’t until Jennifer Lopez was well into her pregnancy that everyone heard that she was indeed pregnant. After that, it seemed to be all anyone could talk about, with Lopez’s and hubby’s Marc Anthony’s face seeming to be everywhere. We all knew how much they were getting for first picture rights, where she was giving birth, we even knew what the hospital was doing to prepare for it! But then Jen had those babies and we haven’t heard much since. That is until the happy couple attended the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala on Saturday. From Gossip Girls,

“Taking a night away from parenting their newborn twins (Max and Emme), Lopez and Marc Anthony showed up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for the Costume Institute Gala last night.

Commenting on their absence from their babies, Anthony told press, “They’re missing us!” with Lopez adding that the new additions to their family are doing “fantastic!”

As for continuing her career in showbiz now that she’s a mommy, Jennifer told press, “I don’t know — and I like that, because my life has been so planned for so many years.”

Leave it to this diva couple to comment that their babies are missing them. Most parents actually talk about how they miss their kids, not the other way around. However it’s interesting that Jennifer has said that she doesn’t know if she’s going to go back to work.

Push presents are becoming all the rage these days as fathers give the mother of their children presents for pushing the baby out. There are no set standards for these presents but let’s hope that the standard doesn’t become the same as those that Marc Anthony gave Jennifer Lopez for giving birth to their twins, Max and Emme. From Celebrity Baby Scoop,

“Marc Anthony has already given his wife Jennifer Lopez a £150,000 8-carat diamond ring to celebrate the arrival of their twins. It seems the new dad wasn’t done gift giving yet - he just spent £1.3million ($2.6 million) on a pair of diamond earrings for the mother of his children, and had the babies’ initials engraved - one on each earring.”

This really shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone, I don’t think. I mean, after all, they did have hospital staff running drills and her hospital room was private and no entrance was allowed for weeks before the golden palace was ready for the star and her newborns. It should come as no shock that the couple are also looking to hire a live-in nanny so that the babies will have proper upbringing while their parents are away.

It’s nice that so soon after bringing their children into the world, they’re already planning on leaving them. It may sound harsh but some stars actually take their children into consideration and plan their schedules around them, not the other way around.

And would we expect anything else really? Having a diva as a mom and a superstar singer in his own right for a dad, I’m sure everyone expected it. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony went all out before their twins were even here. Reserving hospital rooms, and having the hospital staff perform test security runs told us all well in advance that a prince and princess were on their way.

It’s no question that they’re going to the extreme but are their expectations realistic? Not only did J. Lo listen to classical music all through her pregnancy, which is fairly normal, especially for new moms, she now has classical melodies piped into the babies’ room so they can relax. And if that doesn’t do the trick? She’s also hired a masseuse so that the little ones can become more relaxed from all that stress in their lives. I’ve heard of massage as a way of bonding but does it count if someone other than the parents are doing it?

Not only are Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony going to extremes to keep their babies’ psyche in check, they are also becoming clean freaks. And just like everything else, they can’t do it without going to the extreme. Celebedge reports,

“She is also paranoid about hygiene. The twins’ wing is totally sterile and all flowers and presents are stored in a separate area so they don’t contaminate the babies’ area. It may sound excessive but she only has her kids’ best interests at heart and wants to give them the start in life she never had. Earlier this week, it was claimed Jennifer is so terrified about the fraternal twins being exposed to germs she asks guests to use a special antiseptic hand lotion and don surgical masks before they enter the nursery.”

I just think this is laughable. Every mom becomes worried about the amount of life-threatening germs lurking in every corner of the house just waiting for their opportunity to attack. But they’re babies! Because their entire world revolves around bodily functions, it’s impossible to keep things spotless! It’s excusable for Lopez, who is a first-time mom but Anthony has children already. It appears common sense has left the building.

Jennifer Lopez, who announced at the end of a November concert,

“Marc and I are expecting a baby!”

according to People, should have mentioned that there were actually babies - plural. But no one found that out until this month when her father spilled the beans on a Spanish television program.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have finally had those babies that we all have been anxiously waiting for. Lopez gave birth to her baby girl at 12:12 am and her baby boy followed at 12:23 am. Baby girl weighed in at 5 lbs, 7 oz. and the one wrapped in blue weighed 6 lbs. exactly.

Lopez and hubby couldn’t be happier. People states,

“They’re the first children for Lopez, 38, and the fourth and fifth for Anthony, 39. The couple celebrated the impending births with a baby shower in New York on Jan. 19. “They were just beaming the entire time,” said one partygoer.”

No one seems to know the names of the precious new bundles yet. With J.Lo’s track record of keeping secrets (first with her marriage and then with her pregnancy,) we can probably expect to find out some time next year.

Irving Azoff, Jennifer Lopez’s manager, is reported to have quit on the singer because he had problems with Lopez’s husband, Marc Anthony. Celebedge reports,

“They had a heated phone conversation last week and he sent her a letter of resignation, telling her in blunt terms that she was unprofessional and he was not happy with Marc Anthony being allowed to constantly meddle in her work.”

It’s no secret that ever since joining together in holy matrimony in 2004, Anthony has always played a big role in her career. I guess Azoff didn’t see it as a husband just wanting what was best for his wife. And Lopez doesn’t seem to mind her hubby being so involved either.

But Lopez’s team of representatives doesn’t see it the same way that Azoff’s do. Celebedge reports from Jennifer’s side of things as well,

“She let him go on Friday with no drama. We know nothing about a letter.”

I’m tend to believe Lopez’s side of things because who would walk away from that grand percentage of Jennifer’s cash just because you can’t seem to form a bond with her husband?

Marc Anthony has done great things for Jennifer Lopez, other than being involved in her career. Since meeting, Lopez says she no longers considers herself “JLo.” Celebedge also reports her as saying,

“J.Lo was just a bit of fun that got really crazy. I’ve never really been anyone but Jennifer.”

Whatever you want to call her, she is on top of the world right now, manager or not. She is seven months pregnant, reportedly by way of IUV. And in two months, she will be giving birth to twins. One  boy, and one girl. How could you have it any other way for this picture-perfect family?

Jennifer Lopez is finally experiencing what it’s like to weigh as much as a chicken shed, while Marc Anthony looks even paler than usual lately. Ah, the joy of impending parenthood. Jennifer is due in just a few weeks, and they’re celebrating the new arrival with a baby shower. Naturally, I’m sure the party will be filled with gifts of ungodly prices. Would that I could have teethed on a solid gold pacifier! Damn you, upper middle class parents! Anyway, now that’s out of my system. From People:

“Jennifer Lopez celebrated her pregnancy with a baby shower Saturday on the rooftop of the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City.

The singer and her husband Marc Anthony both attended the afternoon shower, which was hosted by Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Lopez’s producer on the 2002 film Maid in Manhattan.

Lopez, 38, “looked very pretty – and very pregnant,” according to an eyewitness, who saw the couple arrive flanked by bodyguards.

Among the guests were actress Leah Remini and designer Roberto Cavalli, who gifted Lopez with a pink leopard crib, according to a source. As for the décor, everything at the shower was blue and pink – and the room was covered with Swarovski crystal, said the source.

Last month the singer, who is due in a few weeks, was given matching pink and blue Tuni & G onesies from her sister Lynda Lopez. The pop star has been mum about whether she’s expecting twins, though multiple sources have told PEOPLE she’s having two bundles of joy.

The singer first announced she would be starting a family with her husband of three years, Marc Anthony, 39, last November after months of speculation.

“This is a special time in our lives,” Lopez told an audience during a concert in Miami, the final stop on the couple’s El Cantante tour.

Even as her baby bump grew increasingly noticeable with each performance, Lopez had avoided discussing her impending motherhood.

“We’re just getting used to the fact that we’ve told everybody” Lopez tells Harper’s Bazaar for its February issue.

When asked how long she is planning to take off from her career as a singer, actress and designer, Lopez says, “I don’t know – and I like that.”"

The rumour has been circulating that Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony might be expecting twins. Oh happy day. Matching pop star babies. On the other hand, they might just be buying both blue and pink because they want the baby to appreciate all color schemes, or not impose on their child by enforcing sexual orientation from birth, by using the colors marked appropriate for the sex. Or, they may not know the sex of their child, because they prefer it to be a surprise. Who knows?

Jennifer Lopez has finally decided that she wants to tell people she’s pregnant. Whoop-ti-do. Most of the known world knew this before she did. Terribly nosy society today, aren’t we? Her and Marc Anthony broke the news over J-Lo’s enormous baby belly, and everyone cheered and acted surprised, of course. From People:

“It’s perhaps America’s worst-kept secret – but after weeks of speculation, Jennifer Lopez finally confirmed her pregnancy Wednesday night during a Miami stop on her El Cantante Tour.

“Marc and I are expecting a baby!” the glowing singer announced to a shocked audience.

Just as surprised? Husband (and fellow tour headliner) Marc Anthony, who shrugged his shoulders, caressed his wife’s stomach, then leaned over and kissed her belly. “I did not expect her to say anything,” he told the crowd. (See a YouTube clip of the announcement below.)

“The whole arena went insane,” says one concert-goer. “It was awesome!”

Lopez thanked the audience for the applause and said, “We are happy, too.” She then turned sideways to reveal her profile and show off her very noticeable bump. She also playfully stuck out her tongue.”

Yeah, people were shocked. Where was this concert exactly? Somewhere that news doesn’t travel to, apparently. Oh well, everyone’s pregnant these days. It almost makes me want to run out and get knocked up. Almost.

Well, finally. It looked like J-Lo might have been pregnant, there was some speculation, but no one has really seriously come out and accused her… you know, because then we honest, and truth-oriented bloggers could get sued. Ahem. But yes, it’s true, J-Lo is pregnant! At least, that’s what TMZ says:

“Sources have confirmed to TMZ that Jennifer Lopez is pregnant!

In addition, we’re hearing that J.Lo and Marc Anthony are expecting twins. Double your pleasure!

J.Lo’s rep did not immediately return our call for comment.”

Not surprising, the representatives never return your calls, duh. Why is it that TMZ is always expecting these people to answer? Anyway, yes, J-Lo is pregnant, and possibly with twins. Those kids, if there are twins, will clumsily, but energetically dance out of J-Lo, and be singing off-key, as loud as they can. In other words, they’ll be just like their parents.

…that besides Kevin Federline..he’s one of the ugliest luckiest men in Hollywood.
