Even by Jennifer Lopez's extravagant standards, this takes some beating...

The actress apparently insists on dressing her five-month-old twins in new designer gear every day.

We're told: "Jennifer was approached by a charity and asked to donate some dresses for a celebrity auction. She agreed and donated a gorgeous £5,000 frock.

"She also offered some of Max and Emme's clothes, telling organisers that she never lets them 'repeat' outfits.

"But the auction deals only in adult clothes. Jennifer told them it was a shame, as some items cost over $1,000 (£500) each."

A flight attendant claims Jennifer Lopez's guard dog chomped her leg on a plane trip two years ago, and now she wants to take a $5 million bite out of the singer's pocketbook. Lisa Wilson, 40, filed a suit in Brooklyn Federal Court Thursday, alleging the attack caused her to fall and suffer back injuries that prevent her from working anymore.

The dog-bites-woman tale began July, 3, 2006, when NetJets, a private airline company, assigned Wilson to work a flight taking J.Lo to Burbank Airport in California, the suit says.

Wilson says Lopez boarded a Gulfstream IV jet at Republic Airport in Farmingdale, L.I., with Floyd, a German shepherd described in the manifest as "a well-behaved guard dog."

Just in case, Wilson, of Mary Esther, Fla., says in the court papers, Lopez gave her some instructions on how to act around Floyd.

But the suit alleges that 90 minutes into the flight, Wilson walked past Floyd, and he responded by "attacking her and biting her pant leg."

In an attempt to get away, Wilson says she "twisted and fell," injuring her lower back so badly she had to undergo surgery last year and no longer can work - "at great economic loss."

Us Weekly reports that the Lopez and Anthony might still be wrapping 4-month-old Max and Emme in $100 Melissa Masse blankets, but they’re doing so without the help of nannies. The magazine confirmed with Lopez’s rep that the couple is still without outside help, even while traveling abroad. A Lopez confidant also told Us, “The whole 75-pieces-of-Louis-Vuitton-luggage thing is just not happening now. … Being a mother has completely changed Jennifer.”

That’s a good thing: A source told Scoop that before the twins were born, Lopez had picked up a strange travel habit. “Not even the first-class lounge was good enough for her. She kept slipping into a door inside the lounge, so people thought it was like a special VIP area,” said a traveler who witnessed the behavior on many occasions.

“Turns out, it was just a storage closet. Give her credit for wanting to be left alone, but hiding in a storage closet? That's a little extreme.”

Ben Affleck credits starring in then-fiancee Jennifer Lopez’s Jenny From The Block video with nearly ruining his career.

The actor – who began dating the Latina singer in 2002 – featured prominently in the promo, and at one point is seen rubbing sun tan lotion onto Lopez's bottom.

The couple's high-profile romance went on to provoke a tabloid backlash, culminating in the 2003 box office flop Gigli.

And the actor is now convinced that bringing his personal life into the spotlight was damaging to his career.

He says, "If I have a big regret, it was doing the music video. But that happened years ago. I've moved on."

But Affleck insists he isn't blaming Lopez for his career nosedive: "It not only makes me look like a petulant fool (to blame Lopez), but it surely qualifies as ungentlemanly? For the record, did she hurt my career? No."

The pair became engaged in 2002 but called off their relationship in 2003.

Jennifer Lopez has landed her very own reality TV show. Cameras will follow the singer as she launches a new fragrance while trying to juggle her music and acting careers with motherhood. The Maid In Manhattan star, mother to two-month-old twins Max and Emme, will co-executive produce the show for U.S. cable channel TLC. She says, "I'm looking forward to sharing this exciting journey together." TLC president, Angela Shapiro-Mathes, tells People.com, "Jennifer is unbelievably passionate about life and will be an incredible role model for our audience."

The singer and husband Marc Anthony have reportedly ordered two Shetland ponies for son Max and daughter Emme, along with diamond-encrusted rattles, 600-count Egyptian cotton for the baby's cots and designer babygros for the nursery wing in her Los Angeles home.

A source said: "Jennifer has gone all-out to give the twins an amazing childhood. She hired a colour therapist to paint the nursery a beautiful aquamarine and light blue - colours which are supposed to have intelligence-boosting properties.

"She listened to classical music all through her pregnancy and is now having music piped through to the nursery to help relax the babies. She has hired a professional baby masseuse to come in once or twice a week."

The source added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "She is also paranoid about hygiene. The twins' wing is totally sterile and all flowers and presents are stored in a separate area so they don't contaminate the babies' area. It may sound excessive but she only has her kids' best interests at heart and wants to give them the start in life she never had."

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's newborn twins are named Max and Emme, Lopez's manager Simon Fields officially confirms to PEOPLE.

It's double the baby joy for Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony: They're the proud new parents of twins, a boy and a girl, Lopez's manager tells PEOPLE exclusively.

The babies were born early Friday in Long Island, N.Y. The girl was born at 12:12 a.m. and weighed 5 lbs. 7 oz., and the boy followed at 12:23 a.m., weighing 6 lbs.

"Jennifer and Marc are delighted, thrilled and over the moon," Lopez's manager Simon Fields tells PEOPLE exclusively.

How much is too much to pay for baby photos? That’s the many-million-dollar question, and it’s being asked now more than ever as the end of Jennifer Lopez’ pregnancy grows near.

Although magazines make it a rule to not disclose the final numbers, People magazine reportedly shelled out $6 million for the first crack at photos of J.Lo’s twins, but that deal only accounts for rights to publish the pics in the United States.

OK! magazine has also struck an exclusive deal for photos of the Lopez/Anthony babies. Their pics will run in OK!’s 15 international editions, the magazine confirms. “It is fantastic for those markets, and especially important with the immense strength the exclusive will bring to the new launch of OK! Spain,” said a spokesperson for the magazine. The Spain edition launches March 26. (Which begs the question: Is J.Lo not due for another month?)

So why pass on the rights to publish the photos here in the United States? One magazine industry insider said that frankly, Lopez’ appeal in the U.S. isn’t as broad as many people — including Lopez — would like to think.

“Look at her track record with her movies, and look at her album sales. The U.S. market hasn’t been fascinated with her in some time,” the insider explained. “It makes more sense to not spend a fortune on photos that won’t cause a noticeable increase on the newsstand. This just isn’t going to sell like Shiloh (Jolie-Pitt), and $6 million is a lot of money.”

Another magazine insider says that the OK! approach is noteworthy. “There’s a real difference between U.S. appeal and international appeal, and most celebrities don’t really understand that.”

"I'd rather be on stage with a pig! A duet with Jennifer Lopez and me just ain't gonna happen."

Jennifer Lopez might be thrilled that she’s pregnant, but according to some sources she’s “freaked out” over gaining weight.

“She is huge and freaking out. Her face has become really puffy from retaining a lot of water,” a source told international press.

The weight gain is enough to prompt Lopez to put her career on hold until her little one makes an appearance.

“She plans to do a Victoria Beckham now and hibernate for the last few months. You won’t be seeing much of her in public from now on.” After a months-long bump watch, Lopez announced her pregnancy in November. She’s due in the spring. Lopez’s rep weighs in saying, “This is ridiculous and untrue. She is happy and healthy.”

Jennifer Lopez is leaving no doubt she's expecting boy and girl twins — and that they will grow up in the sort of luxury befitting royals. In fact, the 38-year-old mama-to-be bought pink and blue onesies: one monogrammed "princess," the other, "prince."

Both son and daughter will get equal comfort by the looks of the gifts she's requested on her top-secret gift registry at Petit Tresor, the exclusive L.A. baby boutique.

It's not known whether pals and business types who want to curry her favor will spring for both babies or one, because what mama wants is pricey.

There's the $349 cashmere outfit, one in pink stripes, one in blue, from Baby CZ.

There are two Moses baskets for $225 each, though there are Smushy teddy bears with pink or blue ribbons for $65.

If you really want to get on the diva's good side, pick out the Balmoral enameled black carriage for a mere $3,495.

There's one $289 suede play mat. Guess they'll have to share.

The cheapest item is the Adiri Natural Nurser at $22. Lopez wants 10 of those.

There's also a $560 jogging stroller for two. It's not known whether we should expect to see J.Lo or her nannies trotting around with the infants.

She's also requested not one but two double Peg Perego strollers for $429 — one in toffee, and one in mint. Don't speculate that she might even be expecting quadruplets; she's tricoastal.

Lopez, who Fortune called the richest woman under 40 in America, isn't leaving all the spending up to her pals, who have until February to save up for the gift(s).

She's having the tastemakers at Petit Tresor design three nurseries for the teeny totlets at the couple's estates in Bel Air, Fisher Island, and Oyster Bay, says a friend. Lopez is spending $40,000 to outfit each nest, the pal adds, including gilded cribs. "She wants them filled with the most chic furniture from Europe and embroidered linens from France." In pink and blue, natch.

Petit Tresor co-owner Samantha Winch would say only: "We don't talk about any of our clients."
