Jennifer Lopez Shows the Curves of Being a New Mom


Jennifer Lopez appeared a little curvier than usual performing on stage last week. The singer, 39, who gave birth to twins earlier this year, revealed a less toned physique as she appeared in the Greek capital Athens.

As she threw herself into energetic dance routines, the audience of 11,000 saw her black support underwear beneath her short, revealing dresses. J-Lo’s much-admired backside, which she was reported to have insured for 543 million in 2002, was larger than usual. And as the usually super-honed star lifted her arm, she revealed some rolls of flab. It appears she's taking her time to lose the last of the weight she gained before she gave birth in February/08. She gained while pregnant with Max and Emme, her children by husband Marc Anthony.

Ms. Lopez recently admitted that she cares less about her figure than she did before becoming a mother – and said her husband loves her new body. She said: "I don’t weigh myself a lot. I still have 10lb or so. But I don’t have any problems with it. I never felt I had to get rid of it. We like to eat." But despite being content with the extra few pounds, she has wasted no time in getting back to physical fitness. She recently completed the grueling Malibu triathlon, swimming for half a mile, running for four miles and then cycling an 18-mile course.

Jennifer Lopez and Victoria Beckham's Friendship is Fake, so says Kelly Osbourne


Kelly Osbourne says she thought the friendship between Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Lopez is fake.

Kelly blasted the pair after their appearance here at New York Fashion Week. "I know it's not my place to say...but I've never seen two people pretend to like each other more in my life," opines Ms Osbourne. "They were holding hands, but it looked like Victoria was holding a sh**ty bit of toilet paper! They were sat right next to each other, but you could have sat a whole other person in between them."

We think this is Kelly Osbourne showing her sense of humor. Nobody ever said that New York Fashion Week is full of “real” gals and non-posers at all times. We don't think Kelly Osbourne has a lot of credibility when it comes to people in a league of their own like Jennifer Lopez and Victoria Beckham.

Jennifer Lopez Throws Surprise Birthday Party for Marc Anthony


Jennifer Lopez tricked her husband Marc Anthony in to attending his surprise 40th birthday party by telling him they were having a quiet meal with Hollywood friend Katie Holmes.

The actress/singer was eager to keep the lavish bash under wraps, and used fake plans to meet Holmes in a bid to get Anthony to the New York venue without ruining the secret. The star admits it was tough to fool the singer, because he kept asking what he should do to celebrate the milestone birthday. She told People.com, "I told him it was such a busy weekend, that I might not be able to do anything, (he kept asking) 'What are we gonna do for my birthday?" "I can't believe we pulled it off. He was so blown away."

Lopez who attended the event just hours after completing a grueling triathlon in Malibu, made sure the party was one to remember. She hired burlesque star Dita Von Teese to entertain guests at an exclusive Cuban nightclub in the Big Apple, as well as a salsa orchestra and showgirls. The couple's celebrity guests were shocked their hostess had made it to the celebrations after completing the testing event. Brooke Shields says, "Jennifer is amazing. I did a triathlon once in college but for me a triathlon is now eating, drinking and sleeping. The party is over the top. It's pure Jennifer."

Jennifer Lopez Completes Triathlon


Jennifer Lopez has completed her first triathlon in Malibu, California just seven months after giving birth to twins.

According to People Magazine the singer, 39, completed the race, which involved swimming, running and biking, in 2 hours, 23 minutes and 28 seconds.

An ecstatic J-Lo punched the air as she made it to the end of the tough three-part competition, which saw the singer swim, cycle, and run to raise more than £70,000 for the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. She said: "I feel really great and so glad I finished and that I made it out of the water but, more amazing than that, I feel really great that we raised $127,000 for the Children's Hospital."

Other stars who competed were Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy, John Hamm, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Jon Cryer, Monique Coleman, Scott Foley and Anna Kournikova. On the sidelines to offer support were fans and Lopez's husband Marc Anthony. She was joined in the race by actor Matthew McConaughey, who was cheered on by girlfriend Camila Alves and their son Levi.

The New York Daily News reported that Lopez and her family left the event soon afterwards to prepare for Anthony's 40th birthday party in New York.

Jennifer Lopez and Eva Longoria's Front Row Fashion Battle!?



Does Jennifer Lopez still have it or is Eva Longoria Parker the newly annointed Latina Queen of Fashion? Some are saying that from observing the photographers at the New York fashion shows, Eva is the new Latina It Girl, though we beg to differ.

Acclaimed international fashion/culture reporter Dana Thomas, author of "Deluxe: How Luxury Lost its Luster," was in New York recently for some promotion work and dropped in to the Diane von Furstenberg fashion show. "The seats were empty next to me and I thought, no-shows? And then, suddenly, very much showed up: Jennifer Lopez, Rosario Dawson and Eva Longoria, who sat down right next to me," says Thomas.

"The horde of photographers descended on us like those flesh-eating ants in 'Indiana Jones.' 'Eva! Eva!' they shouted. 'Look left! Look left!' "Jennifer was, sadly, an afterthought," according to Thomas. "You can gauge quickly the state of your career by paparazzi shouts," she adds. While the flashes blinded Dana and Eva, the author whispered, "This is what I get for forgetting to put on my lipstick," to the "Desperate Housewives" star, who "cracked up." Again, we don't feel the same way. Jennifer has been around a lot longer than Eva Longoria Parker and time will tell who is the new "Latina It Girl".
