Is the “American Idol" judge really thinking about more babies?

According to Jennifer Lopez, her words got a little twisted in an interview she gave about adoption. Today, the mother of two set the record straight on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

"I know I'm being misquoted in the press a lot," Lopez told Ellen. "[They say that] I want to adopt and I had depression when I had babies -- none of that's true."

In the film What To Expect When You’re Expecting, Lopez plays Holly, a mother who adopts a child from abroad. In real life, she shares two biological twins Emme and Max with estranged husband Marc Anthony.
With Mother's Days is just around the corner, celebrities are reflecting on what it means to be a mom. The stars of the upcoming ensemble comedy, “What To Expect When You’re Expecting," based on Heidi Murkoff's book by the same name, share their stories about motherhood’s many ups and downs in the June issue of Redbook.

When Jennifer Lopez, 42, had twins Max and Emme, she had some tough moments in her first days as a mom, revealing, "I remember after the babies were born, about seven to 10 days in, I was like, 'What is going on with me?' I felt sad and depressed and thought the babies didn't love me."

She turned to Murkoff’s book for help: “It said how you have this huge hormonal drop about seven to 10 days after you give birth. It's called the 'baby blues.' But I just thought they didn't like me!"

Not to be outdone by the dragon on her back, the singer also has the words “Lideres” tatt’d across her chest in some fancy cursive writing

Divorce is never easy but add the elements of celebrity, children and headlines to the equation and you get - Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez.

The former couple, aware of the buzz and public interest surrounding their divorce want to make one thing perfectly clear...when it comes to their kids, they're still a team.
There’s this juicy new biography coming out soon, “Sweet Revenge: The Intimate Life of Simon Cowell” and from what little nuggets of text that have leaked early, we’ve learned a lot about the smarmy UK Idol and X-Factor judge.

In one excerpt from the book, Cowell says he considered sleeping with Paula Abdul but didn’t want to because he didn’t want to make pillow talk with her!

“We would have to have a conversation afterwards, and I don’t know what we would have said.
Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez called it quits in July after nearly 7 years of marriage. They both moved on to new people... Marc nabbed himself a Barbie doll (Shannon De Lima) and J.Lo got herself a Kewpie Doll (Casper Smart).

Finally, this former couple has filed for divorce, and it was Marc Anthony that filed the paperwork.
Because Jennifer Lopez is making zero attempts to pretend like she isn’t dating 25-year-old boyfriend Casper Smart, she just surprised him for his birthday with a new car.

She got him a white truck.

So, it wasn’t the Bugatti that Beyonce got Jay-Z on his birthday, but still.

“Jennifer had planned a fun day to celebrate Casper’s birthday,” a source tells People.
Jennifer Lopez calls Marc Anthony a “pig” during a recent episode of “Q’Viva” because Marc is a total sleaze!

At least she didn't call him a "slut pig," because then she'd probably have to give royalties to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. (Wuddup Kim Richards, we remember you!)

In the episode, some of Marc’s female contestants walk onstage and Marc goes, “Oh these are my honeys, these are my babies.”
