Assy new mother of twins Jennifer Lopez has opened a tremendously presumptuous gift registry at baby boutique Petit Tresor.
Among her most stupid – and most expensive – desires: Two cashmere cardigan, hat and bootie pants sets ($279 each); two Chelsea Sleigh cribs ($1390 each); and an Italian leather and snake skin trim Mia Bossi diaper bag ($1250).
Once Lopez' wish list is fulfilled, her entitled, velvet-palmed brats will come free of charge.
IT'S ABOUT TIME "It's double the baby joy for Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony: They're the proud new parents of twins, a boy and a girl. … The babies were born at 12:45 a.m. ET on Friday in Long Island, N.Y., says her rep, Simon Fields."
All sorts of "sources" are coming out of the woodwork to rat out their celebrity friends today. The latest victim is Jessica Alba.
The pregnant Fantastic Four actress and fiancé Cash Warren were delighted to discover they will be welcoming more than one baby this summer.
The source said, 'Knowing that she's going to have twins has literally turned Jessica's life upside down. She and Cash have had to scrap their plans for a one-baby nursery and start all over again.'
What is going on in Hollywood? Is there something in the water? First Jennifer Lopez, then Angelina and now Jessica. Is there something in the book of Scientology involving three sets of celebrity twins? Should we be preparing for the apocalypse?

SHE HASN'T POPPED THOSE SUCKERS OUT YET? "The private room being held for Jennifer Lopez at North Shore University Hospital is finally occupied. A recent patient at the hospital told Page Six that during her visit, staffers were aflutter, exclaiming, 'J.Lo is here!'"
STEP ASIDE, X-TINA "People magazine reportedly shelled out $6 million for the first crack at photos of J.Lo’s twins, but that deal only accounts for rights to publish the pics in the United States. OK! magazine has also struck an exclusive deal for photos of the Lopez/Anthony babies. Their pics will run in OK!’s 15 international editions, the magazine confirms."

Fergie's mom called into Ryan Seacrest's show this morning to squash rumors that her daughter is pregnant.
She went on to say Fergie and Josh Duhamel's wedding date has not been moved up: "I think people can't believe that people get married because they love each other and not because they're pregnant."
On Fergie's end, she has promised she will never be caught pulling a J.Lo.
It is so stupid. It can be obvious a girl is pregnant but they still deny it. It's as if they want the attention it causes.
I wouldn't be part of all that nonsense.
Agreed; if we were pregnant with Josh Duhamel's baby, we would be shouting it from the rooftops.

Jennifer Lopez still hasn't given birth to those twins, so we can assume she's still parading around New York City in 5-inch stilettos. But you know what else she's doing? Willing her babies to come out on a particular due date. Hey, if anyone can do it, it's Jenny from the block.
While this date has been bandied about before, a source close to Lopez said Valentine’s Day is the date she’s been focused on since the beginning of her pregnancy. 'She didn’t just like it because of the obvious correlation, which is sweet, but she also was happy that it … would easily make the deadline for the weekly magazine covers.'
We knew we liked J.Lo for a reason: She's considerate of the tabloids. Heath Ledger could have learned a thing or two from her.

TELL US SOMETHING WE DIDN'T KNOW "Don’t count on Jennifer Lopez dressing her forthcoming twins in identical outfits — not that the fashionista would ever stoop so low. A PageSix.com source at the Marchesa show overheard the 'beautiful and beyond glowing' star confide to a friend, 'I'm having twins: a boy and a girl.'"
Queen of Pilates Madonna partnered with Gucci last night to host a UNICEF charity dinner and auction. Celebrities came out in droves to wear Gucci clothing, fatten themselves on rich cuisine ("tart of goat cheese, foraged mushrooms, truffled mashed potatoes") and bid on extravagant leisure opportunities, all for the benefit of those who can't afford such luxuries.
Tom Cruise bid $100,000 for the opportunity to convert play sports with Alex Rodriguez and David Beckham, but was summarily outbid by more than 200 grand. "But how will he write a check with no fingers?" an insider heard Cruise whisper. The action star was then quiet for the remainder of the evening.
Later, an attendee paid $600,000 to take a dance class with Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Jennifer Lopez, who is still very much preggers, showed up at the Marchesa show yesterday in New York. You know, to pass the time until those twins pop out.
Obviously, 9-months-pregnant women are supposed to get all glammed up and pose in stilettos. Those moms-to-be who sit around and rest before giving birth? Lazy.

Forget the rumors: Jennifer Lopez is still pregnant. She was last seen shopping, not focusing intensely on extricating two babies from her womb.

…SO WHICH IS IT? "North Shore University Medical Center denied reports today that pregnant Jennifer Lopez, who is expecting twins, has checked into the Manhasset hospital. Two hospital sources said she was there and that security had been tightened. 'She is not in the hospital,' said spokeswoman Adina Conn. However, one of the sources said the singer has checked in under a pseudonym."
Jennifer Lopez looked positively drugged at her baby shower in New York City this weekend. We've never seen the motherly glow look so glazed over.

Jennifer Lopez has told the February issue of Harper's Bazaar that she is considering retirement upon the birth of her twins:
Post birth, Lopez is still unsure of whether she’ll be a working mom.
"I don’t know — and I like that, because my life has been so planned for so many years," she reveals. "Once I did the tour, I really just wanted to shut it down."
Do it, Jennifer! We implore you to stop making music! But, uh, y'know, just for the sake of those kids.
