J.LO'S GEMELOS

Though the economy may be heading south on a speeding train, it's nice to see that some people haven't been affected by a subprime mortgage or credit crunch. While your family is selling blood to make the next mortgage payment, Jennifer Lopez's unborn children are blissfully napping and preparing to be swaddled in luxuries you and I can't even pronounce.

The New York Daily News reports that J.Lo and hubby Marc Anthony had their baby shower in New York City, attended by fabulous celebrities bearing wickedly expensive gifts. Though mom is mum on the subject of twins, the decor was pink and blue, and the registry included separate matching outfits in those two distinctive colors. Items included a $3,495 carriage, a $560 jogging stroller and two $349 cashmere outfits (one pink, one blue).

With the twins ready to pop at any minute, J.Lo and Marc have reportedly dropped at least $40,000 on nurseries at several of their properties. All those fetuses need now is a pair of ridiculous-sounding baby names like Adidas Cristal and Cocoa Cola Lopez. If you're going to pimp out your kids for first photo rights, might as well go the extra mile and make them pay for themselves entirely.

PITTED AGAINST SHILOH

According to China Daily online, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will be purchas--I mean, adopting another child in the near future. The confirmation came from Angie's brother, who stated that the couple intended to select a girl from another African orphanage to form a bond with their Ethiopian daughter, Zahara.

You know, I've laid off Angelina for a while because she's really trying to be a good person. But since when was it OK to treat your biological daughter like a red-headed stepchild? So poor Shiloh doesn't even count as a sister because she happened to be born in central air conditioning?

Maddox and Pax will have each other, and Zahara and the new kid will be BFFs. I'll be surprised if they even allow Shiloh to eat at the dinner table versus under it--chained to a leg.
