Lopez: I'm Pregnant, Maybe With Twins
Jennifer Lopez announced that she is most-definitely-without-a-doubt-one-hundred- percent-sure that she’s pregnant—maybe even with twins. When Ms. Lopez, 38, made her announcement to a crowd yesterday in Miami, where she and her husband, Marc Anthony, 39, were wrapping up their El Cantante tour, Mr. Anthony was allegedly stunned. “I didn’t know she was going to talk,” he told the audience after she let the cat out of the bag. He then leaned over to plant a smooch on his spouse’s belly.
“This is a special time in our lives … And we waited until the last show to tell you,” Ms. Lopez said.

What About Ben? Damon and Lopez Hit Paydirt
What a terrible weekend for Ben Affleck.
Matt Damon’s The Bourne Ultimatum grossed roughly $71 million over the weekend—grabbing a little under $1 million in Manhattan alone—and Jennifer Lopez’s El Cantante, in which she stars along side her husband Marc Antony, opened in New York City with a $34,342 per screen average, finishing right behind The Simpsons Movie in total gross and nabbing the number 3 slot on our chart.

The Land Time Forgot
Unhealthy Relationship With Ring
No offense to all of the other blushing brides out there, but it's nicer than any other ring I've ever seen ... ever. Sometimes I'll just have stare-a-thons on the subway, or more embarassingly, when I'm out to lunch with someone and catch a glimpse of it as I pick up my glass of water. And then I just can't stop looking at it--from different angles--in different lights--it's all very sad, I know. But the more I tell myself I need to stop looking, the more I look. And then when that doesn't work, I start to play this game and tell myself that I'm NOT allowed to look even for one tiny second or ELSE...and then I do.
Almost exactly like my ring, only slightly larger.
Of course, I have no idea if this pink diamond thing is even doable (i.e. do I need to be J. Lo to afford it?). Time to take another trip down to the jewelry district to see our "diamond guy" Israel and find out. read more »
