Jennifer Lopez's Twins Make Modeling Debut!

Oh, babies!

Jennifer Lopez's 2 1/2-year-old twins, Max and Emme, make their modeling debut as the faces of Gucci's new children's line — and UsMagazine.com has your first peek.

They appear in the ads along with mom.

"It's the first time I have worked with my kids in that way," Lopez, 40, tells the new Us Weekly (on newsstands now). "It was a totally special experience."

In honor of the collection (with pieces ranging from $80 to $1,600, in stores in November), Gucci donated $1 million to UNICEF's Schools for Africa initiative and $50,000 to Lopez's charity the Maribel Initiative, which promotes greater access to health care for women and children worldwide.

"It's exactly why I'm excited to be a part of this," says Lopez, who admits she and husband Marc Anthony were hesitant to have their kids participate until they learned of the charity connection. "Now there are two Gucci spokesbabies for a beautiful cause!"

Lopez tells Us the twins "had fun" posing.

"I did a photo shoot when they were 3 weeks old, but now that they are 2 1/2, it's totally different!" Emme is already showing signs of a fashionista. Says  mom, "Emme picks out her own outfits and likes to sleep in her princess dress." As for her son, Lopez admits, "It’s hard to get Max dressed. He prefers to run around the house with no clothes on."

Is Fanny still capitalizing off her "suicide" attempt? Say it aint so...

Fantasia's got a lot to talk about these days: Season 2 of Fantasia for Real only has 3 episodes left; she’s on tour; she still needs to make “Back to Me” move some units. And all this adds up to her talking about…
The one topic she said she was over talking about. Except now, she’s saying it was never her idea to talk about it in the first place.Here’s what she told Russ Parr about her little ordeal this morning:
Russ: You’ve been through a lot, and I, personally, I even said it on the radio, I just felt like you were put back out under fire a little soon. Do you feel like you needed a little bit more time to get yourself together?
Fantasia: Oh, of course! Of course I did, but the crazy part about it is that it always falls back on the commitments that you’ve made and agreed to. When it comes down to this business, and I hate to say it like this but it’s so true: they don’t care about what you’re going through. “Get yourself together, we’ll give you 2-3 days, when you come on back, we need you to tough it out and get in there.” And that was kinda like the whole prep [sic] talk from everybody.
For six years I’ve always taken everybody’s advice and wanted to do what everybody felt should be done, or best for the career. And now I’m at a point where I know for a fact that I’m [rebelling] right now. I don’t really wanna do anything crazy, but it’s my life and I’m gonna live it. I’m good now. I’m very very good, and ready to go back on the road, but doing me. And not even taking anybody’s advice like that.
Yea? We don’t buy that. The label can make you do interviews, but you can just as easily and forcefully refuse to talk about certain sh*t.
And for those of us who were wondering how little Zion is taking all this adultery and suicide talk, Fantasia says she’s got this.
To be honest with you, my daughter is totally clueless right now to everything. She only watch Disney Channel, ’cause there’s a lot of things going on the TV right now that I don’t want my baby to see. So we keep her on Disney Channel… Even with my Lifetime movie, my daughter hasn’t seen that yet. And I don’t want her to til she gets a certain age where she’ll be able to swallow some of the things that I’ve done.

NPR fires Juan Williams over anti-Muslim remarks

Veteran journalist and political analyst Juan Williams was fired by National Public Radio yesterday for making what they called “anti-Muslim” remarks.

In reality, Williams was merely expressing the sentiments of many Americans in this post-9/11 era when he said that he gets “worried” and “nervous” when he sees people dressed in Muslim-style clothing on airplanes.

Williams, 56, made the comments Monday on Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor”.

Bill O’Reilly, who made news himself when he told the ladies of ‘The View’ that Muslims caused 9/11, said, “The cold truth is that in the world today, jihad, aided and abetted by some Muslim nations, is the biggest threat on the planet.”

Williams, who is a frequent contributor to Fox News, agreed, and added:

“I mean, look, Bill, I’m not a bigot. You know the kind of books I’ve written about the civil rights movement in this country,” he said. “But when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they’re identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”

In a statement released by NPR, the company said Williams’ comments “were inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices, and undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR.”

NPR needs to get in touch with reality. All of a sudden it’s considered politically incorrect to express realistic fears now that we have a Muslim president in office?

Monica and Lebron James encounter bullying and racism online

Just weeks after admitting that racism still exists in America, NBA superstar LeBron James retweeted several racist “tweets” posted by one of his followers on social networking site Twitter.com.

According to ESPN.com, LeBron said he just wanted people “to see what type of words that are said toward me and towards us as professional athletes.”

Stars like LeBron expect to be treated with kid gloves by those around them.

But with the emergence of mini-blogging networks like Twitter.com, they openly expose themselves to negativity, harsh criticism and vulgarity from bullies who enjoy unprecedented access to the stars.

Gone are the days when celebrities were protected from the harsh realities of life by their handlers and publicists who monitored all forms of communications between their star clients and the public.

Two nights ago, R&B Diva Monica announced to the world that she was quitting Twitter after being bullied by a psycho who frequently targets urban celebrities on Twitter.com.

Monica’s BFF Keyshia Cole was able to convince Mo to make her Twitter page private. But the problem won’t end there.

Ironically, Twitter.com claims to have a policy in place for dealing with harassment. Maybe they will put that policy into action one day.

Gabrielle Union has Lasik surgery

Actress Gabrielle Union invited the paparazzi into the medical clinic where she got Lasik Eye Surgery at Millennium Laser Eye Center in Sunrise, FL. yesterday. Lasik improves vision dramatically in qualified patients by reshaping the cornea using a laser.
Patients who have been diagnosed with myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism have seen dramatic improvements in their vision.

Will all procedures there are risks and complications involved. Gabby’s costs were reduced in exchange for providing valuable advertising to the clinic.

Is Mariah suffering from an illness?

For months,there have been rampant, unconfirmed rumors, that songbird Mariah Carey is pregnant with her and hubby Nick cannon’s first child. Well, it should be evident that Mariah is in fact suffering from some sort of illness.
 The industry grapevine has it that Mariah is suffering from “a serious medical problem” that could potentially threaten her career.

The rumors and innuendoes took on new life over the weekend when Mariah, whose face was pale and bloated, flew into Singapore on Friday (Sept. 24) to perform at a Formula 1 event.
A listless Mariah gave a lackluster performance in front of 110,000 screaming fans in Singapore. But as fan videos clearly show, Mimi had to sit to catch her breath numerous times during her show. Even if she was 6 months pregnant she wouldn’t be that short of breath.
Then she slipped and fell onstage — and had to be helped to her feet by assistants. Mariah couldn’t even remove her own shoes without help! None of this sounds like a pregnancy that isn’t even showing.
 Many of us have seen the photos of Mariah leaving a Beverly Hills doctor’s office in recent months. And Perez Hilton posted pics 2 months ago of Mariah’s grossly distended belly.

Could Mariah be suffering from bleeding fibroids, an enlarged uterine cyst or some other gynecological problem that is sapping her strength?
While it’s obvious that she is not pregnant, we can only speculate what the “serious medical problem” could be.
Let’s face it, if a narcissist like Mariah was pregnant, she would have announced it by now so she can reap the benefits of all the attention her announcement would bring her.

Chris Brown accused of stealing a beat for his new track!

Chris Brown is in hot water for stealing the beat of another track for his own club single “Yeah 3x”.

Calvin Harris was stunned to hear the similarities between his single “I’m Not Alone” and brown’s club-tinged song off his upcoming “F.A.M.E.” (Forgiving All My Enemies) album.

Over the weekend, the Scottish musician took to his Twitter page to complain about brown hijacking his beat: He has every right to be pissed: brown’s synthesized beat and Harris’ are nearly identical. Though the track was produced by a DJ, it behooves chris brown and his label to make sure the music is free and clear of samples or rights.

Harris plans to take legal action against brown and his record label.

Chris...that was not a good move hun.

We're not saying...we're just sayin.

Jermaine Jackson can't pay his child support! Time to put in a call to baby sis Janet!

According to a TMZ exclusive, MJ’s older brother Jermainejust asked a judge for a break on the amount of child support he has to pay for two of his son’s, Jermajesty and Jaafar.

Jermaine just filed new child support papers in L.A. County Superior Court — obtained by TMZ — grousing that he’s expected to pay $3,000 a month in child support for sons Jaafar and Jermajesty … even though his average monthly income for the last year has been under $1,100.

Jermaine claims his baby mama Alejandra not only earns more than him … but she gets a free ride along with his kids at the Jackson compound, thanks to Katherine’s generosity. Katherine has asked Alejandra to move her family into a nearly Jackson condo but Alejandra has refused and Katherine won’t put her foot down.

Maybe Katherine is going easy on Alejandra ’cause she added to the family tree on two branches. In case you missed it: she’s Randy’s baby mama too.
So what CAN he afford? Jermaine wants the judge to reduce his payments to $215 a month. SMDH
We wonder if Janet would come to his rescue.
