Jennifer Lopez Shows Off Her Six Million Dollar Babies
Â
I’m going to admit right off that these are very cute babies. Max looks like his daddy and Emme looks like her mommy. But then…most babies are cute, even without a six million dollar price tag.
Yes, the new People magazine is out, and guess who is on the cover:
This week’s issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday, features 12 pages of new photos of the pop star with husband Marc Anthony and their 1-month-old bundles of joy inside their Long Island home and nursery.
The happy new parents spoke candidly to PEOPLE about the pregnancy, addressing everything from Jennifer’s weight gain to rumors of infertility. For all the details, pick up the new issue, on newsstands Friday.
And guess what? The babies…look like everyday, run-of-the-mill, normal babies. You can see airbrushed photos of Jennifer in the $120,000 nursery, of Jennifer holding the babies, and of Jennifer gazing lovingly at Marc as he holds the babies. People magazine has been counting down to this on their website with the expectancy of a lunar launch. I guess they need to get their money’s worth out of this little deal.
But here’s what I propose: I say that we don’t buy the magazine. $6M for airbrushed photographs of J-Lo, in which the twins just so happen to appear, is ridiculous. Jennifer and Marc do not need this money. They have more money than they know what to do with, and that is one thing that keeps them distant from reality. As I said yesterday, I have no problem with celebs splurging on whatever they like…when they then turn around and give back to others less fortunate. But by all accounts this $6M is going straight into their bank account, instead of being used, for example, to help those mothers and children who are less fortunate.
People could have offered to donate that money to a reputable charity in J-Lo and Marc’s name, instead of giving it to greedy celebrities who will undoubtedly use it to purchase yet more gilded trim for the nursery. This is simply a publicity stunt for Jennifer…it’s to stroke the egos of the parents, it has nothing to do with the babies. I don’t doubt that she loves her babies very much, but let’s not fool ourselves into thinking that she wanted to share this moment with fifty million of her closest friends.
So, sorry…you do what you want, but I won’t be spending one red cent to buy a People magazine. I don’t even really want to link to them in this story, but I guess I have to. Regardless, they are cute, and I hope they live long and healthy lives.

I say may God bless them all. First i would just like to say that they are not the first celebs to charge money for there baby pictures. Both of them are very private when it comes to there charity’s. They give what they give most of the time without the press knowing anything about it. Both of them seem like down to earth people. I like many other people will be buying there magazine. I as a boriqua support them in any way i can. She has waited a long time for this so Congrats.

Of course, they are cute. What baby isn’t?? Are they worth me spending money to see them when I can go to the local grocery store in South Florida and see brand new Spanish babies every first of the month?? Noooooo. Whooppee, more latin american people procreating and thinking the majority give a hot sh*t!

Latins are the majority now Mr. Joe Schmoe America… Dont be jealous… We are no longer Minorities, and dont act like White people dont go to the grocery store on the first of the month either… There are all races that need financial assistance you racist. Jennifer Lopez did take alot of money for her photos, but People magazine were the stupid ones for giving it to her. Hey if They are going to give it then she is gonna take.

I said “others less fortunate” and “mothers and children who are less fortunate.” Nowhere did I single out Latinos.

[...] as so many celebs do, but their kids don’t choose it. Seriously, he could teach people like Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie and Denise Richards and all the other so-called [...]
