IT seems the star thing to do nowadays isn't make another hit record - it's have a baby - and both J-Lo and Britney have announced their intentions to be mums.
J-Lo, married to Marc Anthony for just four months, said: 'There's nothing more important to me than family. I've always wanted a family of my own. I have a feeling it will be the most important project.'
J-Lo's interview with magazine US Weekly was one of her most revealing since her highly-publicised break-up with Hollywood hunk Ben Affleck at the beginning of the year.
She said: 'I'm a little bit older. I'm a little bit - I'd like to think - wiser and more mature. And I'd like to think that I learn from experiences.'
She refuses to talk-down her time with Affleck, saying: 'Ultimately, I'm glad about all the experiences that have got me where I am today.'
But she admitted that she realised she needed to keep a lower profile if her romance with Anthony was to stand any chance of succeeding.
She said: 'I don't come out of the house now. I get a house that has a pool where you can just be secluded with someone who cooks really well... and just stay in there all day, sleeping and eating too much.'
On persevering through rough patches, she said: 'I believe relationships are defined in the way in which problems and challenges are resolved and handled.
'But hard times is when a marriage becomes a marriage - or it just falls apart.'
Her ultimate lesson, though, is: 'Be as happy as you can and strive for more in your relationships. Don't settle for less.'
She added: 'I'm grateful for my family ... for my life, my career, my relationships, everything.
'I'm grateful for love most of all because I have a lot of it in my life at the moment.'
I think she should get a dog first, maybe a pot-plant. I honestly don't think J-Lo could cope with having a tiny human being being totally dependant on her. She can't even depend totally on herself. I guess her "people" can always look after the baby for her.
December 6, 2004, 1:10:25 Jennifer Lopez stunned London hotel staff with a list of demands to help her get pregnant.
The sexy diva is desperate to start a family with third husband Marc Anthony and is following a strict health regime to boost her chances of conceiving, according to Britain’s The Sun newspaper.
So J.Lo reportedly requested various health foods – including fresh fish, pulses, lentils, and protein shakes with ten different fruits -to be delivered to her two 2,000GBP-a-night suites at swanky Claridge’s Hotel during her recent trip to the UK.
The brunette beauty also insisted on various luxuries to help her stay relaxed, including six extra pillows, Egyptian cotton sheets worth 300GBP each, four humidifiers and a masseur on call.
Jennifer, who was in London to promote her forthcoming new album, also required a 70,000GBP Louis XIV table, a spotlight and that the suites were painted her favourite colour – white.
However, when J.Lo arrived at the hotel, she allegedly complained the new white walls weren’t up to standard.
A source told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “Jennifer is very particular about the colour of her room. She claims white makes her feel a lot calmer – but only if it’s the right shade. “When her expectations were dashed, she was far from happy and told staff how she felt.” Jennifer is also reported to have made a similar complaint about the colour of the walls at Madrid’s exclusive Ritz hotel.
Jennifer Lopez reportedly has banned her husband Marc Anthony from wearing tight underpants -- because she fears it will threaten his chances of fathering a child with her.
Friends claim the star has forced Anthony, whom she secretly married in June, to wear boxer shorts because research suggests closely fitting underwear can reduce a man's sperm count.
An insider tells British newspaper the Daily Star, "She binned them and bought him 50 pairs of boxer shorts instead."
WE hope Latin crooner Marc Anthony has been brushing up his nappy-changing skills because wife J-Lo is getting broody.
Jen, 34, who's in the process of relaunching her singing career, said: "I sooo want to be pregnant. I'm ready, I'm waiting and I want it to happen as soon as it possibly can." Her hubby already has three kids from previous relationships, but so far Jenny from the Block's yet to drop a sprog.
"I know it would be the best thing in the world right now," says the star. "I'm so happy and I just know it's the right time. You just know when you're ready, don't you?"
According to Us Weekly, Jennifer Lopez and Britney Spears both spent December 22nd fueling speculation they are pregnant. While J.Lo left empty handed with hubby Marc Anthony browsing the Liz Lange maternity boutique in Long Island,
The Catholic singer/actress/diva is so desperate to start a family with hubby MARC ANTHONY that she has been praying to a statue in a home-made shrine.
Jennifer Lopez has added fuel to the rumours she is pregnant during a TV appearance. The singer begged a German presenter "not to ask" whether she is expecting a baby or not.
She appeared on the German version of 'You Bet' over the weekend, despite having cancelled her European tour due to "a small cold".
After singing her new number one hit Get Right, host Thomas Gottschalk attempted to get to the bottom of the rumours. But he hadn't even managed to ask the question before the 35-year-old singer put up her hands saying "don't ask.
However, she promised the well known German celebrity that he would be among the first to know if there was anything to the pregnancy rumours.
Speaking about the cancelled tour, J-Lo said: "I had a bit of a cold. But I wanted to be here [on the show] because I know how important it is, and because of you [Gottschalk]."
Joining the pop diva on the entertainment show was Will Smith, who was in Germany promoting his new romantic comedy Hitch.
Jennifer Lopez has publicly admitted for the first time that she and Marc Anthony have tied the knot. The diva has until now refused to acknowledge her marriage to the salsa singer ever since it took place last June at her Beverly Hills home.
“Yes, we’re married,” she told People magazine. “I mean, come on, everyone knows. It’s not a secret.” The couple performed a duet in Spanish at the Grammy Awards before Lopez announced she was ill and pulled out of a trip to London for the British release of her film Shall We Dance?
The cancellation triggered speculation that the singer was pregnant but the 34-year-old said she was “not on a timetable” to have a baby yet, although she hopes to become a mother one day. “Family is something that has always been really important to me,” she said. “One healthy baby would be enough for me.”
Lopez said she had entered “phase two” of her life, which was calmer and less public than her very high profile relationship with Ben Affleck.“I take responsibility for the fact that I didn’t make adjustments,” she said. “Now I’m a little more careful. I travel in a certain way. I leave at a certain time. I learned. I don’t take phone calls after a certain time now. Before, people could call me at two or three in the morning and I didn’t care. But it’s different now.”
Life now, she said, was “a little bit suburban” and “more normal than it’s ever been”. Her new album, Rebirth, is released on Tuesday.
This has got to be the best rumour mongering EVER!

Jennifer Lopez is pregnant with her first child, sources have claimed.
J.Lo, 35, is reportedly "delighted" after tests revealed she was pregnant, although she has yet to tell friends of her happy news.
- The Sun
"Sources" claim she is pregnant, but she hasn't even told her friends yet? That leaves her husband and the mums and dads who could've told The Sun. I doubt they spilled the beans, so there's really only one other option - The Sun made it up. Idiots.
J-Lo is supposedly raving mad at the fact the Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are rumoured to be having a baby. It has made her want a baby even more, so she's trying SUPER hard. I don't really want to think too hard about it .....
