J.Lo “gets out of the house” for Madonna’s U.N. fundraiser

  A heavily pregnant Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony hit the United Nations on Wednesday for singer Madonna’s star studded fund-raising dinner for Malawi jlo.JPGorphans and the U.N. Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
    “We feel great, we’re happy to be here for such a great cause — it takes a lot to get me out of the house these days,” said Lopez, who was dressed in a brown Gucci dress and joked with reporters that she might have to sneak out of the dinner if she went into labor!
    Amid media reports she is expecting more than one bundle of joy, Lopez simply smiled when asked if she was expecting twins.
    Unsurprising, most of the stars who walked the black carpet were dressed in Gucci, which paid for the entire event, although Billy Joel’s wife, TV host Katie Lee, admitted his suit was from the Italian designer’s “last season.”
    Gucci Chief Executive Mark Lee said the event had already raised $3.7 million “before the guests sat down to dinner” and would raise more through a celebrity auction. Alicia Keys, Timbaland and Rihanna were also slated to perform.

One comment so far

I think Jennifer needs to set down some where and have those babies. There will be plenty of time for charities and other stuff. Shes having twins for cring out loud….she needs to enjoy being pregnant and stay at home. I’m pregnant with one baby and I don’t understand how she does it especially the first few months of pregnancy bouncing around on stage and dancing.
