Tuesday, September 30th, 2008Deseo For Men Launch
Triathalon runnin’ mother of twins Jennifer Lopez hit the red carpet for the launch her new fragrance — Deseo for Men. The actress/singer/entrepreneur sits down with “Extra” for the scoop on the scent. Plus, some of Jennifer’s celeb friends send their love!
Jennifer Lopez wants to have more kids
Jennifer Lopez would “love to have more children” with husband Marc Anthony. ‘The Wedding Planner’ actress - who gave birth to twins Max and Emme, her first children with Marc, in February - is already planning to extend her family further but doesn’t know when she will find the time. Jennifer, who previously revealed she fell pregnant as soon as she stopped trying to conceive, said: “I’d love to have more kids. I don’t know when, we’ll see, you know, that’s the same way my first ones happened! We’ll just do it the same way for the second time around!” The 39-year-old star also said becoming a mother has changed her “whole perspective on life”. She added to US TV show ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “It has changed me very much. It really prioritised what you thought was important and what was not so important. “But it’s great because it makes you very focused on the things in your life that you need to concentrate on. It makes it very simple. Teething and crawling and sitting up - amazing.”
Lopez Loved The Triathlon
Singer/actress Jennifer Lopez loved the challenge of completing a triathlon - and feels stronger as a result. The Maid In Manhattan star - who gave birth to twins Max and Emme in February - ran, swam and cycled her way through the Nautica Malibu Triathlon in California on September 14th. She says, “The triathlon was actually amazing. I loved it.
“The hardest part was swimming in the Pacific. I had these huge waves crashing around me and I felt incredibly emotional. Part of me felt really in danger and part of me just felt so strong.” And Lopez was so overcome when she finished the race, she burst into tears.
She adds, “I cried when I came out. (Husband) Marc was standing there at the finishing line. I really cried then. But these days everything makes me cry. I’m still pretty hormonal.”
Lopez completed the event in under two and a half hours to raise money for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
Lopez: “Posh’s Haircut Knocked Me Out”
JENNIFER LOPEZ was shocked when she saw pal VICTORIA BECKHAM’s new pixie crop haircut for the first time - because the Brit had kept the style a secret from her. The former Spice Girl stunned onlookers at a Marc Jacobs fashion show in New York City earlier this month (Sep08) when she debuted the new look - and Lopez was left speechless. She says, “I was so shocked. I arranged to meet up with her the day she had it done. She didn’t tell me what she was doing, so I turned up and there was she was with this incredibly short black hair. I was knocked out.
“I told her she looked like Audrey Hepburn. I think she’s such a great girl.” And it isn’t just Beckham’s hair that Lopez is a fan of - she really admires the star’s new clothing range.
She adds, “I was so excited for her that her fashion collection went so well. Everyone loved it. I’m really proud of her.”

J-Lo launches men’s fragrance
Monday, September 29th, 2008
Jennifer Lopez launched her new men’s fragrance, Deseo For Men, in New York on Monday.
The multi-talented Latina sensation, who recently became the proud mother of twins Max and Emme with husband Marc Anthony, showed that she could still glam it up in a flowing white Fendi gown and Yves Saint Laurent heels at Macy’s department store in Herald Square, Manhattan.
As crowds chanted “We love you, J-Lo”, Jennifer signed autographs and bottles of perfume for 300 fans, some of whom had been waiting since 7.30am to see the singer-actress-designer and came with flowers.
The 39-year-old was very friendly, waving to people and taking the time to chat to those who had waited, including a wheelchair-bound teenager.
It’s the latest scent from Jennifer, who made her fragrance debut in 2002 with Glow By J.Lo. Deseo For Men was created to accompany the female fragrance, and its woody scent features notes of yuzu, lemon, cedar leaf and tobacco leaves.
Jennifer Lopez’s Fairytale Fashion Show
Saturday, September 27th, 2008The impossibly ravishing Jennifer Lopez strutted
her amazing stuff at a Dolce & Gabbana fashion show in Milan,
Italy, and then did it again with a whole new look at a party for the
designers!
The glowing style icon sent shutterbugs ablaze at the show, where she
wore a white, lace-up dress that hugged all the right curves.
The fashionista also arrived at the Dolce & Gabbana “Golden Age” party with hubby Marc Anthony in a romantic horse-drawn carriage — where she sparkled like a diamond in a jaw-dropping silver dress.
A glammed-up Matthew McConaughey with his girlfriend Camilla Alves
also attended the party. Quite the departure from his typical
beach-look, Matthew donned a sleek dark suit, while Camilla chose an
elegant, white strapless gown.

Osbourne: ‘Beckham and Lopez are faking friendship’
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008
Rock offspring Kelly Osbourne has blasted Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Lopez’s friendship, insisting they only pretend to like each other for the press. (Advertisement) Osbourne spied the pair at Marc Jacobs fashion show in New York City earlier this month and was shocked to see them looking distinctly unfriendly. She says, “I was directly across from her and Jennifer Lopez and I couldn’t stop staring at them both - I looked at them more than the clothes! “I know it’s not my place to say, and I hope I’m so wrong, but I’ve never seen two people pretend to like each other more in my life. They were holding hands, but it looked like Victoria was holding a s**tty bit of toilet paper! “They were sat next to each other but you could’ve sat a whole person in between them.”

Jennifer Lopez’s Sister Has Baby Girl!
Thursday, September 18th, 2008
Jennifer Lopez is an aunt! Her sister Lynda has given birth to a baby girl, her rep tells Usmagazine.com. The news anchor and her beau Adam Goldfried welcomed Lucie Wren Lopez Goldfried at 11:45 p.m. on August 28. “Mother, father and baby are doing great,” her rep tells Us. Lynda — who helped her older sister Jennifer celebrate her recent success running a triathlon — first showed off her bump at the Christian Dior Cruise 2009 Collection fashion show in NYC on May 12. No doubt Jennifer — who welcomed twins Max and Emme in February with Marc Anthony — will love doting on the little one. Of motherhood, she recently told Elle: “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.’”
Congratulations Lynda!!!!
Jennifer Lopez: I Spend Every Free Moment with the Babies
Thursday, September 18th, 2008
Jennifer Lopez is famous for her multitasking career as a singer, actress, designer and dancer. But motherhood has taken her juggling act to a whole new level. Until recently, Lopez and husband Marc Anthony, who welcomed twins Max and Emme in February, didn’t have a nanny to help out with child care. “I did it for a long time but we started using a nanny a few weeks ago,” says Lopez, 39. “[Most days] I get up early with them. Then when the nanny comes, I can take a shower and give them their breakfast. She’s there to help me get things done.” As for getting back to work, Lopez says she’ll take it a day at a time. “It’s gonna be a learning experience. How will I do both? I try to take breaks from work,” she tells PEOPLE. “I’ll do a little work with the choreographers and then come back. I try to spend every free moment with the babies.” The mornings are her favorite time with the twins. “When they see you and have that big smile on their face – I live for that,” she says. “And when I put them to bed at night and they melt in your arms. I give them a bottle and wind it down. I say, ‘It’s time for beddy-bye.’ I hold them and sing a little song. By the time you know it, they are asleep.” Adding to her bliss: Lopez is perfectly happy with her post-baby body. “The triathlon really helped get me in better shape, and snapped me back into my body,” she says, referring to last weekend’s Nautica Malibu Triathlon. “I don’t weigh myself a lot. I still have 10 lbs., or so. [But] I don’t have any problems with it. I never felt I had to get rid of it.” Asked how she stays so sane about her body image, she laughs: “We like to eat!” On a serious note, she adds, “I think you have to love yourself and indulge when you want to, as well as be happy and just have a healthy attitude towards it.” Besides, she notes, “Marc loves the way I look!” People
The race is still on at Self.com! Part III
Thursday, September 18th, 2008We had so much fun watching Jennifer Lopez, SELF editor-in-chief Lucy Danziger and 3,200 other racers (including quite a few other celebrities!) compete in last weekend’s Nautica Malibu Triathlon that we don’t want the excitement to end. Check back tomorrow for more of our favorite moments from the event.

After swimming half a mile, Jennifer prepped for the 18-mile bike course. The bike leg can be nerve-racking with other racers vying for space, especially around tight turns. But she already had a plan to keep herself up on two wheels: “When I was watching the Olympics, I saw all the bikers down low on their handlebars. But I like holding on right where the brakes are! I want to be ready; you never know when a squirrel or bunny or little rugrat is going to come running out.”
We were so thrilled to see Jennifer having fun during the race—especially while biking. She’s come a long way since the first time she took her bike out on the road.
Two legs of the race down, one to go! Before embarking on the 4-mile run, Jennifer was cheered on by husband Marc Anthony, producer Simon Fields (in black, closest to the cameraman) and her sister, Lynda (she’s behind Jennifer—you can see her hand). When Jennifer started training, she told SELF: “I know that after the triathlon, my confidence is going to be higher. It will be like, ‘I can do anything!’”
A track star growing up, Jennifer has always felt most comfortable about the running leg of the triathlon. “I’m so competitive, it’s crazy! I just have to remember to go at my own pace,” she said.
We showed this photo on Tuesday, but we had to post it again. Her face perfectly relays all the excitement, pride, thrill, joy and exhaustion you feel after reaching such an extraordinary goal. (And those bicep muscles are pretty cool, too.) After tracking Jennifer’s training since early August, we feel like proud friends. Good job, Jennifer!
The race is still on at Self.com! Part II
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008We had so much fun watching Jennifer Lopez, SELF editor-in-chief Lucy Danziger and 3,200 other racers (including quite a few other celebrities!) compete in last weekend’s Nautica Malibu Triathlon that we don’t want the excitement to end. Keep checking back this week as we post more of our favorite moments from the event.
“I suck at swimming! It’s amazing I made it,” Jennifer joked after the race in the VIP tent. We think she was amazing in general! Jennifer swam the choppy, 1/4-mile course in 20 minutes, 52.8 seconds, and came out of the water with a smile on her face.
Jennifer was most nervous about the swim leg of the race, especially after her run-in with the jellyfish and huge waves back in New York. But she and trainer Gunnar Peterson did a trial run of the course the day before the race, which helped put her more at ease. Before the start, Marc and Jennifer chatted with a lifeguard. During the swim segment of the race, lifeguards floated in the water on surfboards and jet-skis, making sure everyone was safe.
Marc (in the white shirt) was nervous for Jennifer, but she looked ready as she waited with other racers in the celebrity wave. Recognize the racer standing on Jennifer’s left, in the black wetsuit with yellow accents? It’s Andy Baldwin from season 10 of The Bachelor. (He finished first in the male celebrity division.)
Paparazzi and racers’ friends and family lined up along the sidelines to watch the start. See if you can spot Camila Alves, Matthew McConaughey’s girlfriend, in the crowd. She’s holding their new baby, Levi, in a sling. (Hint: Look for Levi’s stark white baby blanket.)
After the swim, Jennifer dried off and got ready for the 18-mile bike course. She’s about to realize her T-shirt and sneakers are missing! (No problem, though; she borrowed a tee from Gunnar and sneakers from another racer.)

Foot Injury Drama
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008
The mystery of Jennifer Lopez’s foot injury deepens!
Days after dropping out of the Project Runway finale on the grounds of ill health, the diva took part in a grueling triathlon, leaving the show’s creators scratching their heads over her last-minute excuse.
Project Runway host Heidi Klum announced on Sept. 12, “Jennifer Lopez was going to be our guest judge, [but she] canceled yesterday due to a foot injury.”
But just two days later on Sept. 14, J Lo participated in the Nautica Malibu Triathlon, which included swimming, cycling and a foot race, and finished by 9:48 a.m.
By 10:30 a.m., the mom of 7-month-old twins was on a plane to NYC to prepare for hubby Marc Anthony’s $800,000 Havana–themed 40th birthday bash at the Bowery Hotel.
“There was a salsa band and tons of fresh flowers,” a guest tells OK!. Burlesque artist Dita Von Teese danced for guests, including Leah Remini and Kimora Lee Simmons, before Jennifer staged her final feat of the day: a surprise show.
“She was introduced on stage as Lola,” the guest says. “The dancers were told not to look at or speak to her, even while they were performing with her!”
But while her guests were thrilled, others remain disappointed.
Project Runway season four winner Christian Siriano tells OK!, “She ran a triathlon? What’s wrong with her? It’s a little upsetting for the [contestants]. I’m sure they are kind of heartbroken.”
Catfight: Jennifer Lopez vs. Heidi Klum Over Project Runway Pull Out
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008Is there an A-list catfight brewing? Over the weekend Jennifer Lopez decided she had to pull out of Project Runway and an insider claims that that left New Yorkers in a huff and one supermodel was really furious. According to a report from MSNBC’s “The Scoop” a source dished, “Heidi (Klum) went from one big-name judge for the finale to none. It was embarrassing, especially the excuse that (Lopez) was hurt. “She can forget about Heidi and (husband) Seal attending Marc Anthony’s birthday party in New York after this.” The birthday bash was a big hit as Lopez went from the sun and surf in Malibu to a Gotham party with a cross-country flight. *** MSNBC also reports that one of the rumors swirling around Lopez’s sudden injury is that she had no beef with “Project Runway,” but instead was angry with The Weinstein Company, which produces the reality show. Cue the rep™: Speaking to Entertainmentwise of the UK, a Lopez rep has denied the claims and says they are not true. The rep added that Jennifer has no beef with the Weinsteins and that she had to pull out to prep for her triathlon.
