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.
Here is a peek at one of the pieces from Beyonce and her mom Tina Knowles’ jewelry line. They have partnered with Carolee, the same company that also produces jewelry for Lauren by Ralph Lauren, ABS by Allen Schwartz and Brooks Brothers.
The mother and daughter team are creating a complete collection of jewels which includes earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings. They’ll be made of man-made pearls, crystals and various metals.
“I am so passionate about jewelry. As both a designer and a stylist, I know the important role jewelry plays in completing your total look, ” Tina Knowles said in a released statement.
The prices range from $16- $68 which is really affordable. Check out The House of Dereon’s new jewelry collection at major department and specialty stores which should hit stores next Spring 2009.
I’m not into snakes so this piece is not something I’d wear, I’ll have to check out the rest of the collection when it comes out. Now that I think of it, I rarely ever see Beyonce in any HOD clothing. Why is that?
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 love this picture of Madonna, it’s from way back when, but I like it. Anyways….
I clicked around trying to find out a few details on Madonna’s birthday party at Volstead, a private party nightclub in London’s west end. Here’s what I found out. Supposedly about 90 people showed up to surprise her, including her three kids.
Thousands of red roses were everywhere, her table had some sort of caviar-filled crystal ball on it as some sort of center piece type thingie. The menu had some tasty items: sushi, quail eggs, watermelon martinis and giant bottles of Krug Rose champagne.
Adoring hubby Guy gave a tender and loving speech about her. Madonna then got up and gave a speech “refusing a mic because it was too impersonal.” She said the typical usual stuff about loving her family and loyal friends and then went off on some tangent about Kabbalah.
It sounds like quite the birthday bash as it lasted until 3 a.m. apparently. Late night for the old coug!
Just when I think I’ve seen it all when it comes DIVAS and their antics, Mimi shows me how life as a Diva is done! Here she is on a private yacht in Capri yesterday getting towel dried by people I can only assume are members of her staff entourage.
Here is her diva list:
* She has 11 bodyguards surround her table in restaurants, so people can’t see her eat
* She insists her dogs travel by private plane or private car only
* She booked every penthouse in Claridge’s hotel, so she can have ultimate privacy
* She insists they install a $20,000 gym next to her penthouse suite
* She will never use public transportation again, “I’ve already been on the bus I don’t need to go back on the bus.”
* She keeps 20 humidifiers around her bed
* She likes being carried around, because wearing high heels all the time hurts her feet
* She doesn’t have a Birthday, “Honestly, I don’t even have birthdays. I call them anniversaries.”
* She won’t wear flat shoes ever! She said, “My feet repel them.”
She herself has personally said:
“I guess I am a diva in many ways. I can be difficult and a little bit rigid about what I want”
But then she added: “I don’t think I’m demanding enough.”
A diva must be properly taken care of which is why I have to admit, I’d like to be one someday!
Here’s a picture of Marilyn Manson in full goth rocker mode. Pasty white skin: check. Ruby red lips: check. Shades: check. Hat: check. He looks like a clone of Michael Jackson although I seriously doubt that’s what his intention was. Here he is striking a pose and loving being photographed in all his glory as he attended the ETP Festival 2008 press conference in Seoul, South Korea to kick off the music festival that starts on Friday.
Here’s a little tidbit of news about his fall from the freak throne, he came in second in a recent survey asking British people which celebs they have the most nightmares about. Kinda sad really, he used to scare me, now he’s… just …. I don’t know… sort of freakish?
What a great photo of Britney! This was taken during her recent mini-vacation in Cabo. Such a nice change from the pictures of the past, that’s for sure. Girl has been working out and it shows. Daddy Spears has been taking good care of her, he has taken her under his wing and the fatherly love has worked wonders.
Supposedly there are some photos of her swimming with dolphins which I’m sure will surface somewhere shortly as ‘unnamed sources are alleging that this trip to Mexico was:
“set up by her camp… have brokered a series of shots that she’s offering exclusively to a celebrity weekly for $1 million.”
Not sure if that is true, wouldn’t suprise me if it were, she has some massive legal fee bills to pay off.
Can’t wait to see her next video because it looks as if Britney B***h is back!
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.
