Lopez twins get first People photo shoot

LOS ANGELES (Reuters Life!) - The twin babies of singers Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, Emme and Max, are only one month old and already they have had their first starring role -- in a photo shoot for People magazine.

The celebrity magazine said on Wednesday it will publish photos of the family in its issue that appears on newsstands this Friday, March 21, accompanied by an interview with the parents in their home on Long Island, New York.

"They spoke candidly about the pregnancy, addressing everything from Jennifer's weight gain to rumors of infertility," People deputy managing editor Peter Castro said in a statement.

Media reports had said People was paying the celebrity couple between $4 million and $6 million for U.S. rights to the first photographs of the babies, but a spokeswoman for People said on Wednesday "recent speculation in the press is wrong."

She declined further comment, saying the magazine does not discuss specific details of its picture deals.

Lopez and Anthony, who has a daughter and two sons from two previous relationships, were married in 2004. It is her third marriage. The couple starred together last year in the movie "El Cantante," a film about salsa legend Hector Lavoe.
