Jennifer Lopez Sells Babies For $6M
Or at least the photographic representations of them.
News today is that JLo has finally checked into that suite at North Shore University Hospital (you know, the suite specially outfitted for her, with a brown leather couch and furnishings untouched by the blood or amniotic fluid of the little people otherwise known as the "non-famous") to deliver her babies, widely reported to be twins, and it seems that staffers on that floor are all in a tizzy because, well, it's JLo, and apparently she used to be somebody.
"Sources" also say that she's sold the first public photos of the little tykes for $6M, to be split between People and OK!, who will distribute the pics in their international magazines. And finally, the babes will snooze in style in nurseries which cost over $120K to outfit in high style, including chandeliers and 18-karat trim. In three homes, nonetheless.
Okay, I gotta stop. Huh? First of all, what makes Jennifer Lopez so special that she gets a special, unsullied room and nobody else is allowed to touch it? It's a hospital, I'm sure they clean the delivery rooms extremely well between birthings. Had the room been used even the day before, I'm sure it would have been sanitized in time for Jennifer's arrival. Yeah, the argument could be made that a room needed to be kept ready for whenever she went into labor, and I'm sure there needs to be things taken into account such as security measures and privacy. But still...she couldn't use the room as it was, it had to be specially outfitted just for her? She'll be in the standard issue hospital bed anyway, I don't see what difference it makes. And I'm sure they have more than one room which could have accommodated her. What makes JLo and her babies so much more special than any other mother who comes in to give birth? And will she change her mind and have a silent birth after all?
And all that money, for nurseries for babies who's eyes can't even focus properly? What is that about? I'm not against having nice things, but why not donate some of that money to mothers who NEED it? Last time I checked, babies eat, sleep, and poop...sometimes all at once, many times not in a neat and orderly fashion. What does any baby need with nurseries that have gold trim and chandeliers? Sounds more to me like indulging the egos of the parents. I wish I could be a little fly on the wall (yeah, like she'd allow a fly) when those babies spit up or get runny diapers all over their expensive sheets. I'm not trying to be mean, just pointing out that babies will poop on anything, from $116 organic blankets to $5 polarfleece from Wal-Mart. And no matter the price of the materials, baby poopy stains, stinks, and generally makes a mess.
