Jennifer Lopez Talks About Twin Pregnancy

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

Jennifer Lopez dished to Elle Magazine about her first pregnancy with twins Max and Emme, and her struggle to conceive with husband Marc Anthony.

Jennifer said she told her husband she needed to be “selfish” midway through her pregnancy when she wrapped up her tour.

“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. 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.”

Jennifer also discussed how it took a while for her to become 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.”

As for the moment she realized she was pregnant, she reveals, “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!”

As a bonus for her husband, two week before she gave birth Jennifer had a book of nude pregnant photos created. “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.”

Jennifer Lopez On Twins: “They’re Amazing”

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Jennifer Lopez appeared on Good Morning America to promote her cover of SELF magazine as one of their 10 Most Inspiring Women and also the triathlon she will be running in to raise money for the Childrens Hospital in Los Angeles.

JLo talked about her twins, Max and Emme saying, “They’re amazing, they’re sleeping through the night. They go to bed around 9, 9:30 and get up around 6:30, 7.”

So far, Jennifer has been a hands-on mom because her nanny quit soon after the babies were born.

“We actually just tried [a new nanny] out last week … because I’m going to go back to work to do a film later in the year,” Jennifer said. “But we’ve been doing it by ourselves and we love it. It’s been awesome.”

JLo is writing a blog about her training for the triathlon, check it out.

The Story Behind Celebrity Baby Names

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Celebrities have been choosing unusual baby names this year, however there is a story behind some of these unique names. Jessica Alba and Cash Warren named their little girl, Honor Marie after Jessica was given the idea for the name by a bunch of girlfriends. She decided she was going to use the name whether she had a boy or a girl.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban chose Sunday Rose after Nicole’s parent suggested naming her after Sunday Reed, and Australian artist’s muse - also she was born very early on a Sunday morning.

One of the most bizarre baby names of all time, Peanut Kai, belongs to the son of General Hospital’s Ingo Rademacher. Their reason is simple, “It puts a smale on everyone’s face.”

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had to pick two baby names when she gave birth to twins, Vivienne Marchelin is named after Angelina’s late mother (Marchelin), while Knox Leon is named after Brad’s grandpa (his middle name).

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony choose more traditional, common names for their twins. Emme was named after Marc’s late sister, and Max was named after Jennifer’s father.

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott named their new little girl Stella Doreen after Dean’s later mother. Tori’s first baby, Liam Aarron was named after Tori’s later father - Aarron Spelling.

Keith’s Push Gift to Pregnant Nicole Kidman

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

Nicole Kidman is due with her first biological child with husband Keith Urban this July, and he’s already got her “push gift” picked out. Keith has purchased a $73,000 Cartier Trinity ring. “It’s three rings intertwined, so it’s very symbolic,” says a source.

The ring is set with multi-colored pavé diamonds and is meant to represent the three stages of a relationship: yellow gold for friendship, rose gold for love and white gold for fidelity. “It’s three turned into one and that’s how it will be with Keith, Nicole and the new baby,” notes the insider. For a closer look check out the Cartier website.

Over the years, women have come to receive generous, large gifts after giving birth - or “Push Gifts” as opposed to a new nightgown or flowers for the hospital. Most women are receiving an expensive piece of jewelry - something that symbolizes the new birth.

Jennifer Lopez apparently received a $300,000 8-carat canary diamond ring as a Push Gift from husband Marc Anthony after giving birth to twins.

Pierce Brosnan gave wife Keely three gold and diamond bracelets when their son Paris was born.

Sarah Jessica Parker was given a charm bracelet from husband Matthew Broderick when their son James Wilkie was born.

Ben Affleck presented wife Jennifer Garner with pricey purple jewelry after she delivered daughter Violet.

Celebrities Are Havings Twins!

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

It seems like more and more celebrities are giving birth to twin babies more than ever, a studie in 2004 showed the rate of twin pregnancies increased, especially in women over 40 - most likely due to fertility enhancing drugs.

Julia Roberts gave birth to twins in 2004. A boy, Phinnaeus, and girl, Hazel were rumored to be babies of in vitro-fertilization.

More recently Jennifer Lopez gave birth to twins after apparently trying for years with husband Marc Anthony. She too had a boy, Max, and a girl, Emme.

Marcia Cross had twins at the age of 44 in 2007. She gave birth to twin girls, Eden and Savannah. Marcia told an interesting story on how her and her husband came to the name Savannah.

A long time ago, I had this kind of spiritual experience, that I will have this child and her name will be Savannah,” she recalls. “Then when Tom and I didn’t even know we were having girls, he wrote me an e-mail and said, ‘I just heard a name I like: Savannah.’ I had the complete chills.”

The most anticipated twin birth is that of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who are rumored to be having twin girls in July. That would bring their family to a total of 6 kids; 4 girls and 2 boys. In 2005 the U.S. National rate for having a twin pregnancy was 3.22%, or 32.3 out of every 1,000 pregnancies.

Actress Angela Basset also became the mother to the boy/girl combo in 2007. However the twins were born to a surrogate mother.

Ashlee Simpson is rumored to be having twins, her husband Pete Wentz leaked the news on a radio show saying, “We’ve been keeping a book so far, like a journal for them - for them when they’re, uh, born.”- woops!

Holly Hunter gave birth to twin boys at the age of 47 in 2006 - but she’s managed to not reveal the names of her boys!

Geena Davis, Mellisa Etheridge, and Marcia Gay Harden are mothers of twins.
