Jennifer Lopez smirked her way through David Letterman’s baby blabber, and ignored Diane Sawyer’s hints at how ‘happy she was’, but no direct baby questions were asked. Are we getting the impression that maybe some kind of pre-interview confidentiality agreement is out there? After all, David wasn’t exactly polite to Paris Hilton last week about going to prison. Maybe J.Lo is scarier than Paris?

However, one person has signed nothing but divorce papers from Marc Anthony, and she has a word to say about J.Lo’s pregnancy.

Jennifer Lopez is pregnant, says her husband Marc Anthony’s ex-wife.

Dayanara Torres - who has two children with Marc - confirmed Jennifer and her singer husband are expecting their first child.

The former Miss Universe said yesterday (09.10.07): “I found out a day ago. I suppose they will be happy because when my sister had her baby they were happy.”

Jennifer, who is currently touring with Marc, has remained silent about the rumoured pregnancy - instead choosing to disguise her figure in loose-fitting outfits.

Monsters and Critics

I’m glad Jennifer’s stepkids will like the baby, but here’s a weird response J.Lo’s publicist gave to Dayanara Torres’ statement.

“What happened was that the day before I had shown Dayanara the pictures which have been spreading through the Internet of Jennifer, and I warned her that, as had been published, she might be pregnant. I did it in case the children asked her. The eldest is six years old, and he hears the comments at school and on the press. But the truth is we know nothing.”

E!Online

Er, what? If they publish enough pictures of your pregnant belly, it makes you pregnant?

I’m offering congratulations to Jennifer and Marc right now. I am hugely pregnant right now and sick of people pointing out how big and fat I am (and yes, people actually use the term ‘fat’), so I can imagine that if she’s not pregnant she’s hating all the speculation. If she isn’t pregnant, then I guess the belly explains the lackluster dance moves on her tour – too out of shape to groove.

TMZ is saying that they have confirmed with “sources” that Jennifer Lopez is pregnant with twins. So there’s a slightly new spin on the story. The couple have publicly let everyone and their mother know that they want kids – and then as J-Lo’s stomach began to grow, heartedly denied all questions of pregnancy. Now whenever someone quotes “sources” it’s a good idea to take it with a grain of salt, but J-Lo’s reportedly been undergoing fertility treatments, which dramatically raise the chances of having multiple babies. Or it could just be speculation because twins would make an extra cute story. Aww, wouldn’t it be funny if one baby were all pretty like Lopez, and the other looked like a little troll doll like Anthony? Not funny “haha,” funny “sad.”

“After months of ‘is she? or isn’t she?’ controversy, Jennifer Lopez, 38, is set to announce her impending motherhood during her Madison Square Garden concert in NYC on October 7. More importantly — La Lopez has a bigger surprise up her sleeve — she’s having twins!

“‘Jennifer is having twins, and she’s over the moon about it,’ a source close to the singer reveals exclusively to OK!. ‘She is absolutely glowing with happiness. She’s spending time relaxing with Marc and enjoying being pregnant, which is something she has always wanted.’

“The babies will be Jennifer’s first (and second) children, and numbers four and five for the fertile Marc Anthony. And although the babies’ genders are not yet confirmed, one can only hope for two little lady Lopez’s in training.”

[From OK Magazine]

Yeah one can only hope for “two little lady Lopez’s” because anything that resembled Anthony would be a terrible, terrible thing to inflict upon the world. So I guess OK has their own source too. It’s hard to know if it’s a different source than TMZ’s (which I guess is what they’re telling us, since the “source” is telling them exclusively) but I’d bet it’s just one person blabbing to everyone who will pay.

Even though I really don’t think Marc Anthony should be allowed to procreate (no, not JUST because he’s ugly but also because he’s supposedly scarily Svengali-like) I really hope they’re pregnant – Lopez has been vocal about wanting kids for a long time, and for some reason I can’t explain I absolutely love her. So I hope she pops out as many fat little non-Marc Anthony-looking babies as she’s able.

Note by Celebitchy: The National Enquirer reports that J.Lo is expecting fraternal twins, and that they will be a boy and a girl. Sorry JayBird, we could be in for at least one little Marc.

We’ve learned that Jennifer Lopez is pregnant with twins, according to friends. Now we’ve learned that she and husband MArc Anthony are expecting a boy and a girl in the spring.

“Marc wants to name their daughter after his mother, Guillermina - and they’re toying with English versions of the Spanish name, which loosely translates to Wilma or Wilamina,” revealed the friend.

“Because Marc already has two sons, Jennifer will chose the name of their baby boy.”

Now in her second trimester, Jennifer, 38, “feels great and looks radiant,” said the friend. “She’s having no morning sickness, and she’s eating really well.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, October 15, 2007]

Congratulations to Marc and Jennifer if this news is true. She certainly looks pregnant and Marc said that thing about how “it’s a blessing to watch her grow on a daily basis.”

Despite multiple denials from both Jennifer Lopez and her husband of an inexplicable three years, Marc Anthony, they are said to be planning to announce Lopez’s pregnancy at their joint concert at Madison Square Garden on Sunday:

Bronx native Jennifer Lopez, 38, plans to “announce that she and (husband) Marc Anthony are expecting their first child on Saturday night at her Madison Square Garden concert,” said an insider.

[From NYPost]

On September 19th Anthony’s publicist denied that Lopez was pregnant, saying “Everyone calls about this every month with the hopes that they’ll hit the mark, but no. No.”

Then Lopez herself claimed she wasn’t pregnant about a week later when she was asked directly, saying: “No, no! We get this every week! I don’t mind when people talk about this, I get the interest. I’m not the only [celeb] who gets these rumors.”

The rumors started when Lopez showed up at the unveiling of her god-awful clothing line, Just Sweet, wearing a green sack-like dress and sporting what looked like a baby bump from a certain angle. She has continued to wear fug loose clothing at public appearances and her concerts with Anthony, and people thought she was either trying to hide a slight weight gain or fibbing about a pregnancy because she hadn’t reached the third month mark yet.

Yesterday a picture surfaced of Lopez’s top blowing up while she was performing to show what looked like a baby bump. Perez ran it, saying “We totally see a baby bump there. Do U????” People has it today, and it looks like she’s protecting her bump in this shot:

If she is pregnant and is going to announce it and everything, why did they both lie about it instead of saying “no comment”? I know this is common practice among celebrities, but there’s no need to be so adamant that it’s not true, it just makes them seem disingenuous. Then again Marc Anthony and J.Lo never came off as honest, down to earth people.

Congratulations to Lopez and Anthony if this is true. She is rumored to be pregnant with twins.

Here’s an article filled with lots of obvious statements: Ben Affleck now admits that dating J-Lo probably hurt his career. You know what else probably hurt his career? “Gigli.” Yeah, it’s been a while since you heard a “Gigli” joke, huh? I’m right on it. I’ve heard Ben Affleck referred to as the poor man’s Matt Damon, though I think Ben is a lot nicer to look at. But Matt Damon’s got the smarts, and a lot of people (including the writers at “Family Guy” – in whom I place a lot of trust) think that the bulk of “Good Will Hunting” is really attributable to Damon, not Affleck. But Affleck had a few years there when he got a lot more attention – though not necessarily for good things. The worst one, of course, being J-Lo. I kid, I love J-Lo with a ferocity I can’t explain. Really, I have no idea why, but I think she rocks the monkey. But there’s no denying that dating her really didn’t help Affleck’s career, and made him come across more as a playboy and a dilettante than a legitimate actor and writer. Ben gave an interview with this month’s “Details” where he talks about some of his mistakes. The best part of the interview? Affleck was late. Why? His German Shepard got into a container of Metamucil and got sick all over the house. I’ve been there, my friend. I’ve been there.

On dating Jennifer Lopez:
“It was probably bad for my career. What happens is this sort of bleed-over from the tabloids across your movie work. You go to a movie, you only go once. But the tabloids and Internet are everywhere. You can really subsume the public image of somebody. I ended up in an unfortunate crosshair position where I was in a relationship and [the media] mostly lied and inflated a bunch of salacious stuff for the sake of selling magazines. And I paid a certain price for that. Then, in concert with some movies that didn’t work…”

On Gone Baby Gone:
“I feel like (Gone Baby Gone) is the linchpin for my life. My career. I have a lot riding on it. I want [the film] to work. Badly. I mean, a shitty movie comes out on 2,800 screens? I’ve been there and it’s embarrassing.”

On why he likes directing:
“That’s why there’s something really great about directing-about having authorship over something. If you don’t like this movie, I’m the guy to see. I’m the guy to criticize. I take some measure of comfort in that. It’s fair, at least.”

On his directorial debut:
“Listen, I’ve gone out and directed a movie and made it really f—king good. If the movie’s good, people will like it and go see it. All the rest of it is bullshit.”

On what’s at stake with his new film:
“It’s pretty simple. If people don’t go see it – I’m f—ked.”

On his decision to direct:
“I guess I just thought, I’ve seen it done enough. I’ve been on the sets enough. I’m a writer. An amateur photographer. An actor. I guess I just thought the sum of these parts would come together and I’d be able to do it.”

On living in L.A.:
“I’d be surprised if I’m still living here in a couple of years. Professionally it would be difficult. But that’s not as important as that other thing.”

[From Us Weekly]

Oh Ben. You’re sort of a hack, but I still love you. And I’ve been told by many of our readers that I have to love your wife or they’ll kick me, so I love her too. Whatever happened to all those rumors that he was going to run for the senate? Those were clearly post J-Lo rumors, during the current Jennifer Garner administration. I was wondering how those would gel with all those “I’ve spent too much time at the Playboy Mansion” rumors. I’m guessing that having dated J-Lo is about the same as having killed a hooker, in terms of political weight. Maybe he’s coming forward and admitting his mistakes so he can move on. And clean up that Metamucil.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony made an appearance at a public school in the Bronx yesterday to help kick off their upcoming joint concert tour. Lopez had everyone speculating that despite her husband’s rep saying she’s not pregnant, she’s just delaying an announcement until it’s absolutely necessary. She wore a lose billowy gray short dress (not exactly a muumuu, but I took some license) and a black hat.

Her face also looked curiously puffy, which some say could be an indication of pregnancy hormones or weight gain. To me it looks like she had some minor work done recently and is trying to hide the swelling by wearing a hat.

Lopez grew up near the school she visited with Anthony, and she got a little choked up around the kids. Marc Anthony is from Spanish Harlem and noted that one of his old teachers is now the principal at the school:

But Lopez clearly was touched by the hundreds of fans who swarmed the sidewalks and the school’s choir, which sang for the couple.

“We look at you and we see ourselves,” Lopez said. “I can remember doing little songs at school and being onstage and dreaming of great things. And seeing all of you so full of beauty and life and energy, and knowing that - how far you can go - it still touches my heart.”

Anthony recognized P.S. 36 Principal Nilda Rivera as a teacher of his when he was growing up in Spanish Harlem.

“She was a huge part of my youth,” Anthony said.

[From NY Daily News]

The News notes that Anthony and Lopez will donate $1 from each concert ticket sold to the ING Run for Something Better Program, an exercise program for children that aims to help prevent and treat child obesity. The school Anthony and Lopez visited participates in the program.

If Lopez isn’t pregnant she could be undergoing fertility treatments that are making her a bit bloated. Even if she’s self conscious of that, she’s probably loving the speculation. I doubt that it would make her face all swollen like that though.

Jennifer Lopez’s list of requirements before she stays in a hotel room are much more detailed and demanding than Mandy Moore’s concert rider. (Although I make more demands on my husband in an average day than Moore asks for on tour.) Lopez wants everything just so before she’ll stay in a hotel and The Daily Mail is there with the details.

[From The Daily Mail]

Now that I read this list I think I know where that non baby-bump came from. (She is not fat at all, in fact I’m about the same size as she is, I just dislike her and wanted to be snarky.)

Coors lite? Who drinks that swill? I guess J.Lo or one of her people must. That’s some crappy beer.

I also want to know why she needs a toaster and condiments when she’s not even asking for bread or meat. Is she going to supply her own bread and meat when she’s making all those other demands? They’re perishables, but she’s asking for fruit and as long as she’s listing requirements she may as well cover everything.

There’s also another story about J.Lo’s mom, Guadalupe, saying that her daughter never tells her anything and that she has no idea if she’s pregnant or not(I never would have covered this stupid hotel rider story if there wasn’t something else to report about J.Lo today.) The NY Daily News sent a reporter to her mom’s house, and she was pretty upfront about not talking to her daughter:

This week, when In Touch Weekly reported that Jennifer and hubby Marc Anthony were expecting, the Daily News’ Ethan Rouen traveled to Guadalupe’s home in Westchester to check the story with her.

The couple has been trying for years to give her a grandchild - but Guadalupe sounded almost indifferent to the prospect.

“I didn’t hear about it,” she said coolly.” You know more than I do. I don’t talk to her very often. I don’t see her often.”

Guadalupe said she is “very busy here taking care of my sister,” who was at Guadalupe’s house at the time.” [Jennifer is] very busy doing what she does.”

[From The NY Daily News]

Maybe she’s just one of those blunt people. I know plenty of moms who would talk smack about their busy daughters if they didn’t hear from them for a while. It might not mean that their relationship is bad, just that her mother is mad that she’s not more in touch.

The Daily News quotes J.Lo as saying in a 2005 interview “My mum’s tough. I don’t want to get into that because it’s a little personal and she gets angry with me when I say things. But, you know, she loves me a lot, so no one’s good enough.”

They speculate that Guadalupe might not like Lopez’s current husband, Marc Anthony, but it could go deeper than that.

Really, with Lopez travelling around the world keeping everything at 80 degrees and just perfect, how could she have time for her mom?

Lopez and Marc Anthony are shown in London yesterday. Thanks to PRPhotos for these pictures.

There was a wedding in Auckland a few years ago on the same night as a Ricky Martin concert. The connection? Ricky did two shows that night, one of which was at the wedding. Ricky was rumoured to have caught a helicopter into the island wedding, swivelled his hips for a song or two, and then hopped back away on his helicopter.

How much do you think this would cost? Not as much as having the Eagles sing.

The ageing rockers earned just under £4million singing Hotel California at a private party in New York in 2003.

The Rolling Stones, in second place, made £3.5million for an hour’s work when they appeared at the 60th birthday party of Texas tycoon David Bonderman in Las Vegas in 2002.

Celine Dion, at number three with a £2.5million fee, gives private party performances two or three times a year.

Number four, Elton John, made £2million when he sang at the wedding of London pub supremo Peter Shalson in 2002.

And in fifth place is Christina Aguilera, who was paid £1.8million to sing at the wedding of Russian banker and industrialist Andrei Melnichenko to Miss Yugoslavia, Aleksandra Kokotovic, two years ago.

The Daily Mail

I think it might be kind of cool to have a band appear at my birthday, but not at my wedding. I drank nothing but diet water leading up to my wedding, and the dress cost a fortune, I wanted to be the biggest star there! Unless you‘re a big star yourself it’s probably best not to have a real one turn up.

Rounding out the top ten of the most expensive performing fees for private parties, were George Michael (£1.75m), Destiny’s Child (£750,000), Jennifer Lopez (£700,000), and Paul McCartney and Aerosmith tied for tenth place at £500,000.

I think I’ll just buy some new albums for my next birthday party, and a really nice cake. Then people will say “What a delicious cake” instead of “How much do ya reckon she paid for the Spice Girls?”

So, the Jennifer Lopez pregnancy rumours are circulating again – the poor woman probably just had a big glass of champagne before walking down the catwalk. That’s what the baby bump was. Or at least, that’s what it seems to be according to husband Marc Anthony.

“Everyone calls about this every month with the hopes that they’ll hit the mark — but no,” Anthony’s publicist said.

ninemsn.com.au

So, he didn’t mention the champagne theory. But I like the fact he mentions that people call every month with the rumour wanting it confirmed or denied. Is Marc Anthony suggesting we’re following his wife’s ovulation cycle?

Some reports have had Jennifer pregnant with twins, even offering detailed stories of ultrasound results and fertility treatments, but I personally like her attitude about not having a baby until God is ready for her to. Particularly since we all seem to forget she’s that other special kind of mommy – a stepmommy to Marc Anthony’s three children.

Jennifer is very busy right now, promoting her new album, but is also keen to perform with the Spice Girls.

According to the Sunday People, the singer said: “I’d love to get back out there on tour and I’d really like to perform on the same stage as the Spice Girls.”

Speaking about Victoria Beckham, Lopez said: “Even before we were friends, Posh was always my favourite.”

RTE

She might not be preggers right now, but if she hangs out with that fertile bunch of mummies it won’t be long. It’s contagious, right?

Why have best dressed men lists? Even the most stylish man just tends to walk around in either a tuxedo or a t-shirt. There’s not much complicated about men’s dressing, why not have best punk rocker style for say, Pete Wentz? Or Best male use of make up, which would probably also be won by Pete Wentz.

I’m also confused about the criteria: Avril Lavinge’s lace dress and combat boots is a style no-no, but Lily Allen’s signature look is a dress and hi-top sneakers (Lily is mentioned in a British best dressed section of the magazine). Aren’t these just different versions of the same look? And none of the women on the best dressed list are cleavage shy, but it’s not okay for Hilary Clinton to show off her assets?

People are buzzing that Jennifer Lopez, 38, is finally pregnant after she showed a slight bump under her loose dress at the NY fashion show for her god-awful new clothing line, Just Sweet. Lopez has been rumored to be seeking fertility treatment and has made no secret of the fact that she would like a child with her husband of an unexpected three years, Marc Anthony. She could be in the early stages of pregnancy or she could have a little bloat and wearing an unflattering dress of her own design.

Of the new fashion line, which features clothing so unattractive and ill-fitting that even Sienna Miller would be hard pressed to wear some of the outfits, Lopez seems to think it’s made for just about anyone who has the nerve to wear it:

Girls who are young who are going to wear it are going to feel sophisticated in it because it does have a chic kind of feeling to it… But people who are older who wear it are going to feel young, flirty and fun. It really has a nice mix.

[From PopSugar]

If she is expecting, that poor kid is in for a lifetime of bad fashion.

There is one picture in particular that you can view over at PopSugar that makes her look extra bumpy.
