JLo: No Nannies

I'm sorry, but I call bullsh*t. They have to have some kind of help. And you know they're not just hiring the teenager down the street or using sittercity.com everytime they go out. They HAVE a nanny. They have to!

Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony are raising their children without the help of nannies.

According to Us Weekly magazine, the famous couple -- who welcomed their first children, twins Max and Emme, in February this year -- remain without outside help, even while traveling abroad.

A Lopez confidant told the publication, "The whole 75-pieces-of-Louis-Vuitton-luggage thing is just not happening now... Being a mother has completely changed Jennifer."

A source said that before the twins were born, Lopez had picked up a strange travel habit. "Not even the first-class lounge was good enough for her. She kept slipping into a door inside the lounge, so people thought it was like a special VIP area," the source said.

"Turns out, it was just a storage closet. Give her credit for wanting to be left alone, but hiding in a storage closet? That's a little extreme."

JHo's Diva Antics

She'll ALWAYS be JHo to me.

JENNIFER Lopez was a diva with a capital D shopping last week at the Catherine Malandrino boutique on Manhasset's Miracle Mile, near where she lives with hubby Marc Anthony. "She demanded the store be shut down for her to shop alone, but they said, 'Absolutely not,' " said our spy. "Then one of her eight-person entourage, including two bodyguards with their guns showing, was yelling at the clerk that Jennifer gets a 50 percent discount. Jennifer also tried on about a million outfits, then just threw it all in a pile in the dressing room and didn't buy one thing." J.Lo's rep did not return a call.

JLo Starring in Reality Show

Is it really this bad?? Has she really truly hit the career basement in which one needs a REALITY SHOW to revive their career??

To bad the rest of the world didn't see the genius that is "El Cantante." You should rent it. You'll see what I mean! Well, either that or you'll forever have ammunition to give me crap. I thought it was OSCAR worthy and I now LIKE Marc Anthony and I even feel BAD about calling JLo JHo for all those years!

Dear Lord, please tell me this isn't true. Please!!

Jennifer Lopez wants to Tom Cruise to be godfather to her newborn twins.

The ‘Jenny From The Block’ singer — who gave birth to son Max and daughter Emme on February 22 — has convinced husband Marc Anthony to give Tom the role despite their differences in religious beliefs. Tom, a devout follower of the mysterious religion of Scientology; Lopez and Anthony Catholic.

A source said: “Tom is delighted. Marc wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to have a Scientologist as the kids’ godfather, especially as he and Jennifer are both Catholic. But in the end Jennifer managed to convince him to agree.”

Tom — who has a 2-year-old daughter, Suri, with wife Katie Holmes — has already showered the twins with gifts.

April Fool's!

I woke up this morning, logged into The NY Daily News and read Ben Widdicombe going on and on about how the pounds have melted off of Jennifer Lopez. WHAT?!


She looks great for just having twins, but she has not "regained her figure barely four weeks after giving birth to twins Max and Emme," as Ben says. And now I'll stop talking about this.

Someone who the pounds HAVE melted off of is Perez Hilton.
BEFORE

AFTER


Pretty amazing! Now if we could just get him to quit referring to himself in the third person, we might be getting somewhere. Did you hear about his big feud with Sony BMG? He says that because of it, the following celebs are "dead" to him: Tori Amos, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, The Gossip, Adele, Lil' Mama, Pink, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Whitney Houston and more. Uh, that's a pretty long list of A-listers. He might have to re-think that.

I've been reading that Larry Rudolph has taken Britney back. Larry was Britney's manager when she was at her best. He always takes her back when she's behaving. This is a good sign for Britney. I hope it's true!

The theme for tonight's American Idol is Dolly Parton's music. Which means Kristy Lee Cook will make it another week. I love Dolly, but I don't know how this theme will play out. Might be a rough night.

It's another beautiful day in Florida! I'll be out and enjoying the sun - but will be blogging all day. Check back in!

Jennifer Lopez: Post Babies Body

I've been thinking about JLo all afternoon. I've been trying to figure out what to say about the most recent pics I saw of her. Let me start with this - I have 2 kids. I gained almost 70lbs with each pregnancy because I ate pretty much non-stop from the moment I found out I was pregnant until the very last hours of my pregnancies. I think I had my last Fiesta Taco Salad from Taco Bell about an hour before going into labor with my second. Which, in retrospect - I shouldn't have done. But I digress.

Without trainers and cooks and a bigtime Hollywood career, it took me 2 years to get back to my old self. I'm always so amazed and to be honest, kind of mad when celebs shed the weight in a month. But they have alot more help than I did.

I noticed in the People mag spread of Jennifer that in every single picture she had something concealing her - a pram, a baby, a poofy dress...and I thought, "Brilliant!" I thought those pics were beautiful.

Then I see this pic:


And I feel bad for pointing out that she doesn't look her best - still carrying quite a bit of weight and puffy looking. But I think other new moms will see this picture and feel relief. Even Jennifer Lopez isn't all "JLo" right after having a baby.

The Business of Celeb Babies

The business of celeb babies is going nuts! Nicole Richie got $1M for the shots of Harlow, Xtina Aquilera got $1.5, JLo got $6M. Now editors are estimating that Angelina and Brad could get up to $10M for the first shots of their baby or babies. You just know Nicole Kidman is seething. My guess is that she'll get $2M. She's really only worth $1.5, in my opinion, but they'll have to give her a little extra because she has an Oscar.


One magazine editor who asked to remain anonymous said, "It's at the point now where some stars might decide to have more kids just to collect the money from their photos."

Pregnant stars are now "treating this like a game," said National Enquirer Executive Editor Barry Levine.

"It's become big business now," Levine said. "It's outrageous, they've gotten very sophisticated. The rights are bought up now even before the celeb enters the hospital. They hire extra security so it's impossible to obtain a photo illegally."
