Jennifer Lopez is bringing her 2002 big screen rom-com, Maid in Manhattan, back to life as an hour long dramedy series for ABC.

Sounds the same so far! This is the second go-around for turn the movie into a show--the last was in 2004 but didn't get past development stages. This time, it's said that Bronx native J.Lo "has been very involved, providing 'a fountain of ideas.'" [via NYMag]

A do-it-herself cosmetic unprofessional is promising women butts that look like J. Lo's, but is more likely threatening her clients' lives. Earlier this week, NY Post reported an Atlanta woman who concocted her own fly-in fly-out business, charging woman thousands of dollars for what could be an extremely dangerous and disfiguring procedure.

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.
