It seems in spite of all the rumors swirling around that JLo was in the process of giving birth to some Marc Anthony babies over the weekend at the North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, it might have been a false alarm:
A story Sunday in the New York Post said the hospital’s maternity ward had been “buzzing” late Saturday amid reports that Lopez had arrived to give birth to two babies. The report said two nurses had confirmed that Lopez was at the hospital, and that security appeared to have been tightened.On Sunday, however, there was no evidence either of Lopez’s presence or of heightened security in the maternity ward or at the hospital. Several calls to a hospital spokesperson went unreturned. Calls to Lopez’s publicist, Leslie Sloane, also were not returned.
Like a real diva, she’s making the world wait. I, however cannot wait to see what the little tykes look like. And I think you know why.

JLo’s trying her hand at TV producing again. First it was the reality show about dancers struggling to make it big (how did that ever go? Anybody…?). Then she said she wanted to bring her story of love with husband Skel…Marc Anthony to the small screen. Now Jenny’s got her eye on a new show about teenagers running a party-planning business. I’m on the edge of my seat…DO. GO. ON!
“The Amigas Sweet 15 Club” is being billed as a half-hour comedy with dramatic undertones. It is based on an original idea by Jane Startz, who produced the film and TV series based on the popular “The Baby-Sitters Club” books. Startz will executive produce with Lopez.In addition to the music-centric TV show, they plan to develop “Amigas” into a series of young adult books, Latin music-inspired CDs and potentially other franchise properties targeting female tweens.
Cha-ching! Imagine all the licensing possibilities…clothing, lunchboxes, dolls, accessories…I hope JLo signed a pre-nup.

Does anyone else think that maybe, just maybe Jennifer Lopez is taking her role as Puchi as more important than the role of Hector Lavoe and in the process trying to one up hubby Marc Anthony? The co-star of el Cantante is featured on the cover of Fashion Rocks magazine, a supplement to Conde Nast publications available to subscribers only. Inside the magazine is an extensive profile of Jenny from the Block, painting her as the disciplined backbone to Marc Anthony’s artsiness. So is she pulling a Puchi?

Puerto Rican power couple JLo and Marc Anthony will be taking their oh-so-perfect love on the road on their first national tour together, reports People magazine:
Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony will co-headline their first tour together this fall.The occasion will mark Lopez’s first-ever live concert road trip.
The couple, both 38, will perform separate sets of their own material and will also duet together, and each set will include songs in English and Spanish, according to representatives for the duo.
I wonder if this isn’t going to deal a deadly blow to JLo’s career. Not all are her fans are fans of her husband, and having to sit through his numbers or relive the whole duet thing again. What’s next, a Sonny and Cher-like TV special?
On the bright side of things, People reports that the tour will have an altruistic mission: to bring attention to the problem of childhood obesity in the Latino community. A worthy cause indeed, but isn’t Marc like the last person on earth that should be a poster child for this?

The gossip page of the NY Daily News is reporting that Jennifer Lopez and marido Marc Anthony are beefing up her security detail because of her choosing to wear fur.
According to a friend, an animal-rights extremist has been sending letters threatening ‘to kill her in public, just like the slaughtered animals whose fur she wears. He (Marc) has hired two off-duty police officers, in addition to her usual security team, to watch over Lopez whenever she makes public appearances,” says the pal.
J. Lo’s reps deny the story.

JLo and Marc Anthony seem to be in the news a lot lately. Jen’s being accused of spouting Scientology, Marc’s being tailed by the tax man, and Jen’s got a new novela about her love life on tap for Spanish language television. Now, news that Marc and Jen are suing infamous gossip rag The National Enquirer in a European court for alleging that they were linked to drugs:
Paul Tweed, who specializes in bringing U.S.-based celebrities’ libel cases to British and Irish courts, told The Associated Press that actress-singer Lopez, 38, and singer Anthony, 37, were seeking “a six-figure settlement” from the Enquirer, based in Boca Raton, Fla., and its parent company, American Media Inc.Tweed said the lawsuit would be filed Tuesday in a Belfast court, and in subsequent days in courts in Dublin, London and Paris.

Thank you, People en Español, for warning me that I need to avoid Univisión like the plague during the primetime hour in the near future. It seems that JLo is planning a thinly-veiled autobiographical musical (!) miniseries (ay, too many things I hate wrapped into one) about the pressures of her fame, her breakup with Ben Affleck and subsequent falling into the arms of Mr. Skeletor.
The plot, says an executive from Nuyorican Films, will revolve around a singer named Sofía Márquez who is constantly in the public eye. She is involved in a scandal and escapes from her boyfriend to later reunite with a old friend from the past. The protagonist then discovers that the friend, a singer named Diego, has something special for her.

JLo used to be all about the bling, but now she’s all about the Thing. Her Thing, that is: hubby Marc Anthony. People en Español reports that Jen gushed to the Italian version of Vanity Fair about her amor this way:
“How do I love? With all of myself, passionately, without regard for the mistakes which one inevitably makes,” she says. “Let me put it as I have in my song: ‘Amo como una mujer, que vee en su hombre el paraìso (I love like a woman who sees heaven in her man).’ ”
I can’t for the life of me imagine getting past human superficialness to equate Marc with the pearly gates. He must really have something going for him, as both JLo and Dayanara have been whipped.
JLo also says that she isn’t into the shopping like she used to be, and is into more important things, like a harmonious career and personal life:
“We aren’t the type to separate our lives from our work,” Lopez, 37, tells Italian Vanity Fair. “It’s a synergy: music, cinema, the everyday things and most importantly, our love.”
More proof that JLo is becoming — yawn — a grownup.

JLo was all giggles on Ellen DeGeneres‘ Super Bowl Special last Friday. Maybe it’s because of the caliente performance her and Mark were rehearsing for the pre-Super Bowl party in Miami (image above). Wow!
She revealed a lot of little tidbits about her life that her fans will be interested in (video after the jump). And just in case you can’t make out what’s said with all the maniacal laughing she’s doing (or just can’t stomach the video), JLo sayeth:
- Married life after three years “is getting easier”
- Her and Marc like to watch American Idol and Grey’s Anatomy
- She likes to have dinner with TomKat
- She wants to have one or two kids, mentions her three “stepkids”, one of which she says is an incredible singer “like her dad”

Paryting got JLo in a mess of trouble back in the day. Maybe that’s why Jenny has decided to settle down and give up her crazy days, alongside her hubby Marc Anthony:
It was a choice,” Lopez, 36, said at the annual TV critics conference in Pasadena, Calif. on Thursday. “My life for me had become uncomfortable in the way that it was affecting my personal life and the people in it. So I decided I needed to take a look at that.“I realized there was a way to pull back from that. You don’t go out as much. You choose different places to go.”
One place she doesn’t go much these days is the dance floor. When asked if she cuts a rug with husband Marc Anthony, she said, “No we don’t. Were homebodies. We love music – obviously it’s a big part of our lives – but we’re not big club people. Not anymore. I’ve had my days.”
She seems to be less of a diva now. I wonder what Skeletor has done to make her so humble?
