After a long week of deliberation, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony’s newborn twins finally have names.

But thankfully the star pair haven’t gone for anything bizarre or fruity so often chosen by celebs nowadays, plumping instead for the more traditional names Max and Emme.

The singer’s manager, Simon Fields, confirmed the news this weekend.

The twins were born at a Long Island hospital on February 22, with 5lbs 7oz Emme arriving about 15 minutes before her 6lbs brother. Simon said Jennifer, a first-time mother at 39, was “thrilled” at the babies’ arrival.

The babies arrived a day after both their parents were named as winners of Latin music’s “Premio Lo Nuestro” awards.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. And that’s what singer Shakira and her long-time boyfriend Antonio dela Rua did when they chose to spend a romantic holiday on Saturday in Rome. The lovely couple hired a guide to show them around the city. They saw Popolo Square, Campidoglio, the Forum ruins, the Pantheon, Hadrian’s Village and the Capitolini and Barberini Museums.

Shakira is a UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) Goodwill Ambassador and visited Bangladesh recently and met with women and children whose lives have been affected by Cyclone Sidr. She deserves the romantic vacation that she’s on.
