Lopez sat down for an interview with Elle magazine for their October issue. She had lots to talk about as she looked back on the magical experience of becoming pregnant and the life-changing experience she wanted to fully enjoy. She made an important decision after she finished her concert tour with husband Marc Anthony last fall when she told him she needed him to step up and take over:
“I said, ‘I did the superwoman thing, I finished the tour – now I need you to take care of me,
“‘I love doing things for you; if I’m not cooking, then I’m picking out a shirt. But this is the first time in my life where I’m just going to be a little bit selfish,’” she told Anthony. “‘I don’t know if I’m going to have kids again, so I want it to be a beautiful experience. I don’t want to have any drama. I want to just be smiling every day.’”
JLo is currently in training for her first triathalon, told that neither of them worried during the four years of their marriage that she didn’t get pregnant:
“We knew nothing was wrong with either one of us – I had been checked, and he had kids already,” she told Elle. “I knew [that] something’s not ready here, in my head or in my life, and when it is, I know it’s going to happen.”
She describes the magical moment that she realized she was indeed pregnant:
“I was sitting down doing hair and makeup and I felt a flutter. The weirdest little … flourish. My makeup artist said ‘What’s the matter?’ I didn’t say anything, but in my head, I was like, I have life inside me!”
To commemorate the experience of being pregnant Lopez commissioned a special gift for her hubby– a book of photos of herself. She says:
“I was like, ‘How am I going to rock this moment of my life? … I felt very womanly. Marc was in a dream. He loved it.”
The babies are now 6 months old. Time sure has flown by! She seems happy and content and still in love with him… so he must be doing a fine job as husband and father. Good on him!
Oh my, how embarrassing. Ricky Martin’s babies’ surrogate mama is a serial surrogate — but she is choosy on which clients she works for. Guess she likes livin’ la vida loca since he was special enough to be selected to rent her womb.
She is apparently a 26-year-old mother who works for an agency that hooks up surrogates with clients and Ricky’s twins are her third surrogate (and second set of twins) and get this… she says her womb isn’t open to Britney Spears or Michael Jackson. No surprise there …
TMZ is reporting that they were told that Ricki and the woman only met a couple of times, and contact between them was mostly through phone and email.
Gwen and her husband welcomed their second child, another baby boy they named Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale. Now that is a mouthful and quite the change in stature from their first son’s name “Kingston”
Isn’t Zuma a girl’s name? It’s Arabic for “peace” (like Zulema). Hmm, then again, maybe it’s because Gwen is a SoCal girl and loves the beach as in Zuma Beach? Or maybe he’s named after Zuma Rock that is located in the Niger State where the capital of Nigeria is ! Bob Marley’s middle name is Nesta, could it be that?! So many guesses, most likely none of them are right though.
I find it a wee bit ironic that several of the celebrity moms such as Gwen, Christina, Posh, and Britney all of whom are know for their love of makeup and diva fashions had sons! No little girls to dress up and give makeup tips to.

I couldn’t believe my eyes, Pink in a dress! The occasion? She hosted a baby shower for Lisa Marie Presley. Page Six is reporting that she supposedly went around to high end boutiques asking for donations… I really don’t believe that though as she can afford to buy her a nice gift.
The baby shower was held at The Little Door Restaurant in Los Angeles this past Sunday. She loos very feminine and girly in a cream dress and strappy brown shoes.
