Jennifer Lopez Planning On Putting Her Kids In Scientology Classes?
I was aimlessly looking for one more story to publish today, and here's one that just sort of fell into my lap...a tidbit of information tucked in amongst the fluff. It seems that a reporter for Elle did a story on Jennifer Lopez that they deemed not flattering enough to the star and entirely too personal (read: He didn't kiss her butt enough and made her look like a regular human being -gasp-).
However, the reporter, Kevin Sessums, had his piece posted on The Daily Beast, and it contains some velly interesting information about the star...for one, she isn't breast-feeding (and I say, so? I did, lots of women don't):
I've caught the family on a bad day. Lopez, who gave birth to twins Emme Guatelupe and Max David only four months ago, has caught a bug from her daughter and is feeling ill. But, ever the trouper, she agrees to go through with our interview anyway, opening up about topics including Scientology, breast-feeding, and a "nervous breakdown," as she calls it, that she's never publicly discussed.When I meet Lopez in a dimly lit pine study filled with gold records and Grammy awards, she has dispensed with the usual packaging and gloss. Her unwashed hair is pulled severely back and there's a halo of frizz around the crown of her head. She wears no make-up, her eyes are glassy, and her feverish cheeks are aglow. I think of Fitzgerald's heroine, Daisy Buchanan, whose face was "sad and lovely with bright things in it."
Before I can fully apologize for putting her through an interview, Max begins to cry upstairs. Daisy from the Block excuses herself and returns with both twins in her arms. Emme's ears are already pierced with tiny gold hoops in them. Max is wearing a black onesie with an array of sequins on its back.
After refusing to have a nanny for the first four months of her children's lives, she has reluctantly ceded that she may need one. "I'm trying out my first one today," she whispers. "But I still can't stand the sound of my babies crying without tending to them myself."
Lopez, wearing an orange Scoop T-shirt dress, looks as gratefully exhausted as any new mother. I ask her if she needs some privacy so she can nurse the twins who are beginning to squirm. "Is that something you've chosen to do? To breast-feed?"
