J.Lo Gives Birth to Twins on Long Island, in Couture
Not too long ago it was reported that Jennifer Lopez was ready to burst as her belly swelled with twins on the way. She had visited a Long Island hospital with husband Marc Anthony and her couture hospital gowns, but it must have been a false alarm, because soon after she was attending Fashion Week events. Initially it was reported she would have a Cesarean birth that was scheduled for Valentine's Day; no word yet on whether she ended up going the natural way, as yesterday the twins finally arrived.
The Post reports J.Lo & Co. "celebrated with family at North Shore Hospital in Manhasset in a luxury suite on the ninth floor, which was under tighter lockdown than that surrounding some presidential candidates." Turning a sterile hospital into a 5-star hotel, the couple brought in their own attendants and private chefs.
Pictures of the twins, a girl and a boy, are placed at high value; reportedly People magazine is offering $6 million for the first exclusive shot (Brangelina only got $4.1 million for Shiloh!). The Post notes that figure is on par with the box office gross of Lopez's 2003 flop, Gigli. With all of the ridiculousness surrounding the twins on their first full day in the world, it's nice to know (if reports are true) that Jenny from the Block kept it a little bit real, naming the babies Anna Maria and Marc Ruiz.
A note to mothers-to-be: get your own couture hospital gowns (with coordinating robes!) from J.Lo's supplier, Dear Johnnies.

White flowers
White drapes
White candles (Diptyque)
White couches
NO TOMATO, APPLE OR GRAPE JUICES
Raspberry Snapple Iced Tea
Are the babies lip syncing when they "cry"?
her mammaries must be massive now.
This Woman is so fake. Her kids will be spoiled brats just
like her. Is this the type of people americans really look up too?
Waiting for tonight was ok. But she really sold out after that. Now she just tries too hard to be relavant.
I wouldn't have minded hitting that pregnant and all!

I wonder if the couture wedding gown and other 'necessities' are just to make it a pain in the ass for everyone around her. Or maybe she's just that full of herself.
She probably got a tummy-tuck immediately after.
Think of how many more third-world babies that $6mn will buy if the twins get lonely.
No matter which way you cut it - culturally, ethically - this is just really really sad. The most expensive example to date of what passes for a legal pimping out of your progeny in the States.
