Jennifer Lopez has had to shell out $6,000 to clean her swimming pool after her son did a poo in it

By Andrea Petrou on June 23rd, 2011

Jennifer Lopez has had to shell out $6,000 to clean her swimming pool after her son did a poo in it.

The ‘On The Floor’ hitmaker – who has three-year-old twins Max and Emme with husband Marc Anthony – had to pay to have her pool professionally cleaned after Max had an accident while potty training at the couple’s California home.

Marc explained: “He had an accident in the pool and it got into the filter system and they charged us to clean it. That was expensive. He took a $6,000 dump in the pool.”

The Grammy Award-winning singer – who recently celebrated his sixth wedding anniversary with Jennifer – revealed while potty training is in “full force”, the twins have worked out ways to trick their parents into giving them treats in return for correct toilet use.

Speaking on Jay Leno’s US chat show, he added: “Potty training is in full force, but they figure out things. I don’t know how they do it.

“Every time they use their potty we give them a lollipop. Then a few days passed and we ran out of lollipops. I’m like ‘You should probably get them checked out if they’re using the potty that much.’ “

Jennifer Lopez admits first fashion foray was a huge disappointment.

By Andrea Petrou on May 19th, 2011

Jennifer Lopez admits her first foray into fashion was a huge disappointment.

The singer-and-actress teamed up with Tommy Hilfiger’s brother Andy to launch her own clothing range, Sweetface, in 2001 but now admits it wasn’t what she expected as she felt “trapped” by it.

She told the New York Times newspaper: “I just felt like I never got a fair chance to do it right. And on top of it, I felt like I was trapped in a situation I couldn’t get out of, and my name was stamped on things that I didn’t believe in.”

Although the line closed, Jennifer didn’t let it put her off designing another line – this time she has teamed up with Tommy and her husband Marc Anthony to create a fashion collection with Kohls.

They are all confident the line will be a success because Jennifer has lots of control over it.

Tommy said of the new range: “The difference this time around is that Jennifer is fully engaged with a company that is professionally staffed to really develop anything she wants, from towels to knee-high suede boots. Literally, her wish is their command.”

Jennifer Lopez has been named as the new face of Tous Jewellery.

The ‘American Idol’ judge – who is well known for her love of diamonds and bling accessories – will front the line’s new adverts with a photo shoot by Ellen Von Unwerth, with the brand’s boss Salvador Tour claiming she was a great “illustration” for them.

He said: “Jennifer is not just an amazingly beautiful woman, but also a talented actress, musician and dancer sharing with us strong family values as we are a family owned business.

She is genuine and endlessly charismatic; a great illustration of our brand.”

Responding to her new job, Jennifer joked: “All girls love diamonds!”

The 41-year-old star takes over from Australian singer Kylie Minogue in the role as the face of the Spanish brand.

Speaking about the job previously, Kylie said she was “totally proud” to be involved with Tous.

She said: “I love jewellery and it’s wonderful to be able to have my pick of all these gorgeous designs. The pieces are fun, stylish and completely affordable. I’m totally proud to represent something beautiful and Spanish.”

Jennifer has been the face of a number of famous brands in the past including Venus razors and a campaign for Gucci with her three-year-old twins Max and Emme.

Jennifer Hudson is glad her weight loss has inspired so many of her fans

By Andrea Petrou on March 10th, 2011

Jennifer Hudson is glad her weight loss has inspired so many of her fans.

The singer-and-actress has shed over 80lbs and claims she had no idea how many people had taken notice of her changing shape.

She told Essence magazine: “I didn’t realise that so many people were watching me or that so many people were interested. Now people come up to me saying, ‘You’ve inspired me’ and I’m like, ‘Wow’. ”

The 29-year-old star – who became the face of Weight Watchers in 2010 – has previously admitted she often “forgets” she has lost so much weight.

She said “I go into the store and they try to put me in 4s and 6s and I’m like, ‘Who are you trying to talk to?’ My mind hasn’t caught up yet.”

Jennifer – who has a 19-month-old son David with fiance David Otunga – also admitted she didn’t expect to shed as much weight as she did.

She said: “I didn’t expect to go as far as I did. People are like, ‘OK Jennifer don’t lose anything else!’ ”

However, the ‘Dreamgirls’ beauty insists she is always happy with herself, regardless of her size.

She added: “I’ve always been a person who’s comfortable with myself whether it’s plus-size, small size it doesn’t matter.”

Lady Gaga has once again roped Armani into her crazy world of fashion. The designer who has in the past created a range of outfits for the singer, including those she wore at the Grammy awards, created the outfit for Lady G’s much talked about performance on American Idol, which was filmed last night.

Armani told Vogue: “American Idol is a real modern phenomenon that has captured the public’s imagination and delivers great drama.

“To complement the spirit of Lady Gaga herself, I have let my imagination run free, and the outfit I have created for her for American Idol performance is pure fantasy.”

The outfit last night was a typical Gaga get-up consisting of a silk mesh bodysuit embroidered with Chantilly lace and crystal and jet beading. Miss G teamed this up with a silk organza cape, embroidered hood and black patent stiletto boots.

Paula Abdul finally looked in the mirror!

Paula Abdul has clearly had some shocking fashion upsets. I can’t ever recall a day or time, especially on “American Idol” that some part of her outfit, makeup or hair was not out of whack. I don’t think she has a stylist and one point I was convinced she didn’t have a mirror in her mansion! I mean, how can she with teal eye shadow, over hair-sprayed hair and multiple chain belts? Something was different about her tonight. Maybe something snapped before her trip to the Emmys? Tonight I can actually say that she looked really well dressed and put together. No runny eye makeup, not over accessorized and her white gown was totally classy! I love the peek-a-boo silver push-up bra to boot. A message to Paula if you’re reading–tonight you were hot!
