I just took the nanny comment to mean she was trying out her first nanny from her most recent round of interviews (since getting rid of nannies awhile back). I don’t think she meant to imply that she has never had a nanny.

Also, I think people get a bit too extreme about the ear-piercing thing. Personally, I don’t like it. I find it gaudy and a little weird, and I’d rather let my daughter make that decision herself (though really, how many things did you decide when you were 10 years old that you stand behind now, haha). That said, I don’t think it’s anything to be worked up about. If you like it, go ahead. Your daughter can always take it out later if she doesn’t like it. As far as the pain, big deal! It’s no worse than getting a shot. Uncomfortable for a moment, but not some scarring, tragic event. I think those of us that don’t like baby ear piercing sometimes get a bit self-righteous about it, and really need to calm down a little

I don’t get the big deal, the woman was under the weather and wasn’t giving the most elequent answers. Not to mention this is an EXCERPT from a larger interview. She clearly loves being a mother and wants to be there for her twins. Meanwhile, if she was talking about something other than her kids, the armchair critics would be all over.

As for the pierced ears thing, that’s not really a big deal to me. My daughters both had their ears pierced as 18 and 2 months respectively and found it was easier to take care of than an older child who would pick @ them.

Wasn’t she the one who said she learned her lesson about speaking to the press about her personal life, saying she wasn’t going to share personal details anymore?
Am I the only one who is confused by this?

^ Matthew and Camila’s $$ for Levi went to his j.k. livin foundation, there was a big sidebar in the article about it.

Amen Celebbabylover!!

Anais- J-Lo is hardly the first celeb to sell their baby pictures and not give the money to charity.

In addition to J-Lo, Christina Aguilera, Nicole Richie, Jessica Alba, Matthew McConaughey, Jamie Lynn Spears, Tori Spelling, and Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have sold their baby’s (or babies’, in the case of the Jolie-Pitts) first photos.

Of those celebs, the only ones I know for sure donated to charity are the Jolie-Pitts. I’m guessing Christina did as well, as I remember hearing that she donated the money from selling her and Jordan’s wedding photos to charity.

I’m also guessing that Nicole and Joel donated the money from Harlow’s first photoshoot to their Richie-Madden Foundation.

However, I never heard a thing about Jessica, Matthew, Tori, and Jamie Lynn donating the money from their babies’ first photoshoots to charity.

In otherwords, very few celebs actually donate the money from their babies’ first photoshoots to charity.

Also, in regards to J-Lo’s “need for publicity”, she has actually been very low-key since getting together with Mark. Remember how private she was with her pregnancy at first? She didn’t confirm until she was about six months in!

I think she learned her lesson after the whole “Bennifer” thing!

Emily- If you read the interview carefully, you’ll see that it clearly says that she woke Emme ACCIDENTALLY. She didn’t do it on purpose! I think her “mummy’s an actress” comment, was actually her way of apologizing to Emme for waking her.

As for the earring thing…The other posters are right, it is a cultural thing in Latin American. J-Lo, I believe is Latina. Also, if Emme doesn’t want to wear earrings later, it’s no big deal.

I have a friend who had her ears piereced as a baby…only to develope a severe allergey to almost all earrings (she can only wear pure gold earrings. All other earrings cause her ears to start swelling up within minutes).

So what did she do? Simple! She pretty much stopped wearing earrings (she does still wear gold ones occasionally)!

I understand that someone saying “I don’t like ear piercing for little girls” or “I would not pierce my child’s ears because this or that” is not taking a shot at another person’s culture.If anything it is reflective of someone’s conception of beauty and parenting, not something to be judged.

However, that is not what the person I was addresing said. The choice of words was harsh and thoughtless.”Absolute disgrace” is not the same as having an opposite opinion, it’s aggressive.

Wow, I feel like I read a different interview than everybody else! I don’t think there is anything wrong with this interview. If anything, it sounds like the person that interviewed Jennifer doesn’t like her and tried to write her in a negative way.

I cannot believe the things that people nitpick about on here! It’s like people examine every interview to see what they can complain about. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all!

I have to agree the the earrings are a vanity thing as opposed to a possible health thing, as with circumcision. An ear is not going to get infected the way a male’s penis can, except maybe when you stick a hole in it! It is a personal choice, but just because someone doesn’t like it on babies doesn’t mean they’re taking a shot at your culture. People are way too sensitive.

I wonder what Jennifer’s camp will do about this, since apparently she tried to keep this interview from getting out? I’ve never heard of something like this!
